1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,120
Speaker 1: On a stormy night on the small island of Guernsey,

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:07,720
Speaker 1: a young paranormal expert joins a skeptical history teacher to

3
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 1: record the first in a series of podcasts based on

4
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 1: the island's incredible folklore and paranormal history. As the expert

5
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 1: regales his horrifying stories, the teacher learns that we all

6
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 1: have our own truth, our own story ghosts that haunt us.

7
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 1: Starring Olivier nominated actor and former Blue Peter legend Peter Duncan,

8

Speaker 1: Season six, episode twenty two to More Names, Part two

17
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: of three. Nineteen months back, while working the sugar boats

18
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: in Port Adelaide, Brian Joseph Deepmark, who had got acquainted

19
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:40,320
Speaker 1: with a man called Jack Thomas McLean, though, as he said,

20
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: with the way things were in the docks those days,

21
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: he wouldn't put much stock by that name. Deepmar knew

22
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: McClean as a man who could handle himself, and suspected

23
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: that he may have got himself in a few scrapes

24
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: throughout the years. The following day, Deepmar is that the morgue.

25
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: Watching as the sheet is pulled back from the dead

26
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: man's face, deep Mark instantly confirms the body as that

27
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 1: of Jack McClean, before curiously correcting his previous statement, saying

28
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: now that it had in fact been four years since

29
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 1: he'd last seen him, not one and a half. Nonetheless,

30
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 1: armed with a possible ID, Detective Lean's team contact the

31
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: New South Wales Central Investigative Bureau in Sydney to see

32
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: if they have any record of a Thomas McLean. Deepmark

33
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 1: had suggested contacting them, believing McClean might already be in

34
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 1: their files due to a previous arrest. The team are

35
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 1: overjoyed when a positive hit comes back, only, as deep

36
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 1: Mar had suspected, his name isn't Jack McClean, but William

37
00:02:54,360 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: Edward Price. What's more, despite deep Mark's positive id. Jack

38
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: McClean stroke William Price is confirmed to have had brown

39
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: eyes instead of gray and measured only five ft six

40
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 1: in height. Detective Lean's team are back to square one.

41
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: Over the next few weeks, a steady stream of friends

42
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: and family of missing people call into the Adelaide Detective's office,

43
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: suggesting possible identities for the now once again unknown man,

44
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: with many traveling up to the West Terrace Cemetery to

45
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: view the body. A mother from Saint Kilda is looking

46
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: for her thirty four year old son who's been missing

47
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: for some time. Another searches for hers who'd only disappeared

48
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: six weeks previously. Both will inspect the body, but leave

49
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 1: the morgue with desperate hope renewed that somewhere out there

50
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: still their boys are alive. The owner of a local

51
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: hotel suggests it might be a guest that had left

52
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: recently without paying. When the police trace his family, they

53
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: discovered they haven't seen him in months, but his description

54
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: doesn't fit and he is soon scratched from the list.

55
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: A woman from Salisbury hasn't seen her husband in almost

56
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 1: two years. A chain smoker in the habit of cutting

57
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: the labels out of his clothes in a way similar

58
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: to those found on the deceased. One man, a former

59
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 1: inmate at Alice Springs Jail, thinks it could be a

60
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 1: fellow former inmate who arrived on a boat from Bulgaria

61
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 1: back in nineteen forty five. Many make appointments to visit

62
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:48,919
Speaker 1: the body, but don't show up. Others make positive ideas,

63
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: only to later retract their statements, while most fail to

64
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: recognize the body at all. One by one, the leads

65
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: are chased up, but all of them come to nothing.

66
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: With hope of a swift resolution to the case receding,

67
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 1: it's decided to have the body embalmed. On December tenth,

68
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: nineteen forty eight, at the Morgue, local funeral director Laurie

69
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:27,559
Speaker 1: Elliott wheels his brand new turn of Porty Boy next

70
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 1: to the autopsy table before filling its large cylindrical glass

71
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 1: with a formuline embalming fluid. Together with the assistance of

72
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: Constable Sutherland, he removes the corpse from the refrigeration unit

73
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 1: and places it on to the table. After massaging the

74
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 1: body to warm it up a little. With great care,

75
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: he makes two arterial incisions with a scalpel and places

76
00:05:56,200 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: a canula into each of the marks, one connected via

77
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: rubber tubing back to the machine, and the other connected

78
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 1: to separate tubing that is left to dangle above the

79
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 1: drain at the foot of the table. Satisfied the canulas

80
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: are locked in place, Lorry flicks a switch on the

81
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:22,359
Speaker 1: porty boy and it weres loudly into action. The two

82
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: men watch as blackened blood pulled slowly from the right

83
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 1: of the dead man, begins to snake its way through

84
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: the tubing, while from the machine, a clear liquid is

85
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 1: steadily creeping toward the insert in the left side of

86
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 1: the body. As the blood begins to drip out onto

87
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 1: the floor and down the drain, the formulin finally eases

88
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: into the body. Within three weeks, most leading newspapers in

89
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: the country have published pictures of the dead man, while

90
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: in Adelaide, all boarding houses and hotels have been scoured

91
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 1: for any useful information, but all to no avail. The

92
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: following day, the case files are dispatched to every English

93
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: speaking country in the world as the Adelaide Central Investigative

94
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 1: Bureau look to widen the net, and on December twenty second,

95
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: doctor Cowen, the deputy government analyst, delivers his chemical report

96
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: to the detective's office, He's found no obvious evidence of poisoning,

97
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: which is deeply troubling for Detective Lean. Ordinarily, any of

98
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:41,119
Speaker 1: the more commonly used poisons in suicide cases, at least

99
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: those which Cohen tested for, would have left a clear

100
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: trace in the body. That there is nothing suggests that

101
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: if a poison had been used, it would have been

102
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: something far more rare and difficult to get hold of

103
00:07:55,520 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: than anything anyone looking to commit suicide would utilize. Cohen

104
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: hastens to add that it may merely prove that there

105
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: had been no poison involved, that the man's demise was

106
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 1: one of simple heart failure after all. But Lean isn't convinced.

107
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: How on earth does a man as powerfully built as

108
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: he was with that strong heart just to collapse. Even

109
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: more strange, if it had been a simple heart attack,

110
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: why didn't he appear to have struggled or writhed? And

111
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: why doesn't anybody know who he is? Now? A word

127
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 1: As many in the nation prepare to celebrate the holiday season,

128
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: the police are no closer to uncovering the man's identity,

129
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 1: but at the turn of nineteen forty nine are promising.

130
00:09:54,760 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: Lead emerges. On Sunday, January second, a smartly dressed woman

131
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: walks into a police station in Morgan, a small town

132
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: located on the bank of the River Murray, about one

133
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty kilometers northeast of Adelaide. She approaches the

134
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: front desk clutching a copy of that day's Sunday mail,

135
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 1: with its picture of the unidentified man printed on the

136
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: front page, along with the small black and white photograph.

137
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: The woman introduces herself as Elizabeth Thompson, and, holding out

138
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: the front cover of the mail, points to the picture

139
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: of the unknown man, whom she identifies as her friend,

140
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 1: Robert Walsh, also known as Nugget. Her photograph shows the

141
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 1: two of them together years before. Back in Adelaide, detective

142
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 1: Harvey receives a message from an anonymous caller, who, having

143
00:10:56,120 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 1: too seen the mail's picture that morning, identifies the man

144
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: as someone he'd once worked with, also called Nugget. A

145
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 1: few days later, on her way to identify the body,

146
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 1: Elizabeth calls in on Stanley's Solotti in Port Adelaide. Slotti

147
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 1: had one time been Robert Walsh's employer when Walsh was

148
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: lodging at Elizabeth's house. When Elizabeth shows Solottie the paper

149
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: and an old picture of him and Walsh together, he's

150
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: also convinced that the dead man is their mutual acquaintance

151
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 1: and agrees to accompany Elizabeth to the morgue. Having both

152
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:44,559
Speaker 1: formally identified the body as Robert Walsh aka Nugget, Solottie

153
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 1: and Elizabeth are taken back to Anger Street to be

154
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 1: interviewed by Constable Harry Storch. Elizabeth, who is a widow,

155
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 1: explains that she'd met Walsh, who would have been sixty

156
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 1: four that year, eight or nine years ago when he

157
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 1: first arrived in Adelaide looking for lodgings. He claimed to

158
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,680
Speaker 1: have come originally from Wales in the UK, where his

159
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:12,959
Speaker 1: one remaining relatives still lived and a stranged sister he

160
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 1: had long since fallen out with. Clutching her photo of

161
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:21,079
Speaker 1: Walsh a little tighter, Thompson explained that he'd left her

162
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: home just over a year ago before Christmas nineteen forty

163
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: seven to visit Brisbane, hoping that she might later come

164
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: out to visit him, but she'd never gone. It was

165
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 1: the last time she'd seen him alive. Stanley Solotti, who

166
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: described Walsh as quiet and well liked, had last seen

167
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 1: him at the Victoria Park racecourse eighteen months previously, adding

168
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: that he suspected Walsh to be something of a gambling man.

169
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 1: The following day, Jack Hannem, a storman working in Port Adelaide,

170
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 1: turned up at the City Detectives office, identifying the unknown

171
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: man as someone he'd met at the Morphettville Racecourse back

172
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: in May nineteen forty seven, although Hannem too said the

173
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 1: man's nickname was Nugget. Curiously, he'd first introduced himself to

174
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 1: Hannem as Bob Morgan, not Robert Walsh. In early February

175
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:25,079
Speaker 1: the following year, Jack had bumped into him again by

176
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 1: chance at Adelaide railway station. The man was in need

177
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 1: of accommodation, and Hannem had helped him move into the

178
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 1: boarding house that he was staying at, a place called Turners.

179
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 1: Morgan stroke Walsh stayed there for the next couple of months,

180
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: in which time he and Hannem became good friends. At

181
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: some point, Morgan let slip that his name was in

182
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 1: fact Robert Walsh, and sometimes even called himself Nugget McCarthy.

183
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 1: In hindsight, it was a little peculiar, Jack admitted, but

184
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:06,439
Speaker 1: at the time he just thought it funny. As Constable

185
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 1: Storch listened patiently taking notes, Jack went on to describe

186
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: Nugget as roughly being in his late forties and five

187
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 1: ft eight in height, with a tattoo on his right forearm.

188
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: Did you say a tattoo? Says Storch. Suddenly yes, says Jack,

189
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: it was a faint outline of Australia. I think we

190
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 1: all deal with. Sunday scaris right. Sunday scaries are those

191
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:45,520

208
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 1: Later that afternoon, Starch accompanies Jack to the Morgue, who

209
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: identifies the body as the man he knew as Bob Morgan. However,

210
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 1: when Storch looks again at the dead man's four arms,

211
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 1: he finds no evidence of the tattoo. The next day,

212
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: constable voice from in Leyton Station contacts the Adelaide CIB

213
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: to inform them of a call he just received from

214
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: another man identifying the deceased as Robert Walsh, adding that

215
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 1: Walsh had wanted all his property to go to Elizabeth

216
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 1: Thompson in the event that anything should happen to him.

217
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 1: Then another message came in, this time from a different

218
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: caller confirming the exact same thing. The department decide eventually

219
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 1: not to pursue this line of inquiry, perhaps because it

220
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 1: was starting to sound suspiciously like a scam. Back on

221
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 1: the second of January, surely, after Elizabeth Thompson had first

222
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 1: made herself known, an entirely separate lead was about to

223
00:16:56,080 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 1: come to light again. In response to seeing a picture

224
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 1: of the deceased in the Sunday Mail, a man had

225
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 1: pitched up at the Adelaide detective's office with a different

226
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: name for the police to pursue Ray Clark. This man

227
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: went on to describe Clark as being late thirties, five

228
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:21,880
Speaker 1: foot ten, with reddish hair and complexion, and having several

229
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: teeth missing. The man knew Clark to have been something

230
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 1: of a boxer in his youth, and he was still

231
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 1: in good shape the last time he saw him, all

232
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:36,880
Speaker 1: perfectly in keeping with the profile of the dead man. However,

233
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: it wasn't until he was asked how he'd known this

234
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 1: Ray Clark, that the detectives really sat up and took notice.

235
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 1: We worked together for the Commonwealth Department of Parks and Interior,

236
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:56,359
Speaker 1: he tells them. Down at Woomera, Woomera, repeats a junior

237
00:17:56,400 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: officer with some confusion, but detect if Lean knows exactly

238
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: what Woomera is. On July eighteenth, nineteen forty five, unbeknownst

239
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:13,479
Speaker 1: to most of the planet, a bomb was detonated at

240
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 1: zero five forty eight local time, in the middle of

241
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 1: the Hornado del Muerto Desert in New Mexico. The device,

242
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:28,360
Speaker 1: named Trinity, marked the first successful deployment of the atomic bomb.

243
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 1: Less than three weeks later, the atomic age announced itself

244
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 1: in two mushroom clouds of death and destruction, when Little

245
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:41,959
Speaker 1: Boy and the Fat Man were detonated above the Japanese

246
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 1: towns of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The bombs would go a

247
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 1: significant way to ushering an end to the Second World War,

248
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 1: but they would also mark the beginning of a seemingly

249
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 1: endless arms race that to this day continues to haunt

250
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 1: every millatant aspect of foreign diplomacy. After the war, or

251
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 1: more specifically, after the detonation of the bombs at Hiroshima

252
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:13,879
Speaker 1: and Nagasaki, it was clear to all governments who considered

253
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:19,640
Speaker 1: themselves major world players that the game had shifted. Although

254
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 1: the United Kingdom could provide the expertise to compete in

255
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 1: the development of nuclear weapons, what they didn't have was

256
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 1: the space to test them out. The word woomera, taken

257
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 1: from the indigenous Darg language, translates to English loosely as

258
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 1: a wooden spear throwing device, the perfect name, you might say,

259
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 1: for a nuclear grade rocket testing facility. Developed as a

260
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 1: joint venture between the governments of Australia and Great Britain,

261
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 1: the Woomera site located did roughly over five hundred kilometers

262
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 1: to the northeast of Adelaide, in a wide expanse of

263
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 1: South Australian outback covered an area of roughly one hundred

264
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 1: and twenty thousand square kilometers. What went on at Woomera

265
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 1: was top secret, and Ray Clark had helped to build it.

266
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:24,479
Speaker 1: The suggestion that this Ray Clark, a potential murder victim

267
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:28,360
Speaker 1: with uncertain origins, had worked on such a top secret

268
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 1: facility is deeply concerning for Detective Lean. Later that afternoon,

269
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 1: PC Horsnell escorts Ray Clark's former colleague to the morgue,

270
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 1: where he makes a positive identification of the dead body.

271
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: The following day, the Adelaide Advertiser names Clark as a

272
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 1: possible candidate for the unknown man. Later that evening, another

273
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 1: man who claims to have worked with Clark is also

274
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 1: taken to the morgue, where he stayed that the body

275
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:05,880
Speaker 1: is not him. A few days later, a letter arrives

276
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 1: from one of the lead surveyors on the construction of Woomera,

277
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 1: who confirms that the likeness and description of the unknown

278
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 1: man does indeed resemble the Ray Clark he knew. He

279
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 1: adds intriguingly that Clark used a different name on his

280
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: Royal Australian Air Force driving license, but he isn't able

281
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 1: to remember what it was. Despite their best efforts, Detective

282
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:38,400
Speaker 1: Lean's team are enabled to determine Clerk's whereabouts, but crucially,

283
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:42,400
Speaker 1: nor can they find enough information to identify him as

284
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 1: the unknown man. After six long weeks of fruitless investigations,

285
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:52,399
Speaker 1: the Adelaide Police, now boosted by the addition of the

286
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 1: smart and amiable Detective Len Brown, reconvene to go back

287
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 1: over the evidence. The must be something they've missed, some

288
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 1: clue that they haven't pursued yet, thinks Lean as they

289
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 1: pick through the dead man's belongings. Then he sees it.

290
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 1: The train ticket. He bolts to the phone and immediately

291
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 1: has Adelaide train station on the line. The luggage, he

292
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 1: says urgently down the receiver. Check the luggage department for

293
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 1: any unclaimed suitcases that were checked in before December first.

294
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:32,879
Speaker 1: In fact, that goes for every left luggage department, he

295
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:37,679
Speaker 1: says to his startled team. Soon they're on the line

296
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:41,160
Speaker 1: to every boarding house or local transport depot they can

297
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 1: think of, urging them to check for any items that

298
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:48,680
Speaker 1: might have belonged to the dead Man. A similar appeal

299
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:53,760

320
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 1: in sometime on November between eleven and twelve pm, explains

321
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 1: senior porter Harold North as he leads Detective Lean into

322
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 1: the back of the Adelaide Station cloak room. Sadly, for Lean,

323
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 1: Harold has no recollection of who he took the bag from,

324
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 1: but it's the only one checked in before December that

325
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 1: hasn't been picked up yet, he says. Harold negotiates his

326
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 1: way through the mountain of luggage and coats crammed into

327
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:51,120
Speaker 1: the small back room until finally he finds it. Lean

328
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 1: takes the medium sized brown leather case from Harold's hand

329
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 1: and places it on the ground. He notes a destination

330
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 1: sticker has recently been removed, but finds no other markings.

331
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 1: Flicking up the clasps, he pauses for a moment before

332
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 1: lifting the lid. Inside, he finds a stack of neatly

333
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 1: folded clothes, along with several implements whose purpose he's not

334
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 1: yet able to discern. As he slowly pulls out a

335
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 1: shirt and pair of brown trousers almost identical to the

336
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 1: ones found on the unknown man, Lean nose whose suitcase

337
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:37,439
Speaker 1: this is. He digs frantically for any sign of documentation,

338
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:42,639
Speaker 1: but there is nothing. Back At the station, the team

339
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 1: make a proper assessment of the contents. A small card

340
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:50,159
Speaker 1: of brown cotton and some buttons appear to match with

341
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 1: thread and buttons found on the trousers of the deceased.

342
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 1: They also find a red checkered dressing down, some slippers,

343
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:04,159
Speaker 1: brown leather shoes, a tie, shaving gear, a jacket and

344
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: handkerchief that also matches with one found on the man. Curiously, again,

345
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 1: they find all the labels have been removed from the clothes,

346
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:18,399
Speaker 1: with three of the items bearing the name Keen, although

347
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 1: Detective Lean suspects there is nothing to be gleaned from this.

348
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:27,920
Speaker 1: As for the implements, they find a small electrician screwdriver,

349
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:32,679
Speaker 1: a stenciling brush, a pair of scissors, and a table

350
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 1: knife that's been cut into a smaller and sharper instrument

351
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 1: and covered in tape to keep it so. Detective Lean

352
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:45,719
Speaker 1: learned subsequently the items are commonly used for stenciling, and

353
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:49,400
Speaker 1: after speaking with a tailor, he discovers that the jacket

354
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 1: in the suitcase was most likely made in America. Unfortunately,

355
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 1: and you hope that this presented a new avenue of

356
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:01,119
Speaker 1: inquiry had been dashed a few days by a letter

357
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:05,159
Speaker 1: sent from the US Department of Justice informing the team

358
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 1: that the prince they'd sent them had failed to show

359
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 1: up on the FBI's database. In fact, all international police

360
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 1: departments contacted by Detective Lean's team had got back to

361
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 1: them with the same news. There was no record of

362
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 1: the unknown man. Despite the initial excitement at locating the suitcase,

363
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 1: with no documentation being found inside, they have little more

364
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:37,680
Speaker 1: to go on, and by April the man is still nameless.

365
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:49,119
Speaker 1: At some point it's recommended to Detective Lean that he

366
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 1: turned to the University of Adelaide for help. Professor John Clellent,

367
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:58,879
Speaker 1: a well respected and experienced authority on the science of pathology,

368
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,879
Speaker 1: jumps at the opportunity to offer his assistance in any

369
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 1: way he can. The following day, Cleland takes receipt of

370
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 1: the case notes, as well as the suit case and

371
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:14,920
Speaker 1: its items found at the train station. Reading the details

372
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:18,200
Speaker 1: of the autopsy, it's clear to the seventy year old

373
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 1: Clelland that the man had not died of natural causes,

374
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:29,440
Speaker 1: confirming Detective leans suspicions. Finding blades of barley grass in

375
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 1: both the lower part of the trousers left in the

376
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,160
Speaker 1: suit case and in one of the socks worn by

377
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 1: the deceased when he was found. Cleland is able to

378
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 1: confirm that the suitcase and its enclosed items belonged to

379
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 1: the unknown man, but it adds little to what they

380
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 1: already know. Going back to the clothes, he runs an

381
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 1: infrared light over the trimmed labels, but finds nothing of interest.

382
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 1: Then he looks again at the trousers that the man

383
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 1: had been wearing when he was found, made by Wilson,

384
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 1: according to the little tag on one of the pockets,

385
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 1: which he flips inside out to reveal a maker's mark

386
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 1: chalked inside. The police had made inquiries about this early

387
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 1: in the case, leading them to a manufacturer based out

388
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 1: of Brunswick Street in Melbourne, which produced over three thousand

389
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 1: pairs of similar trousers each week. In other words, it

390
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 1: would be nion impossible to trace the name of the buyer.

391
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 1: Clelland is despondent and close to giving in. When working

392
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 1: his fingers around the inside of the waistband, he feels

393
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 1: a little bump in the fabric next to the opening

394
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 1: of a tiny fob pocket. Putting his finger inside it,

395
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 1: he finds a small, tightly rolled piece of paper. Careful

396
00:29:56,440 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 1: not to rip it, he unfurls the piece, which it's

397
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 1: clearly been torn from somewhere, and is stunned to find

398
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 1: two words of a language unknown to him printed on

399
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 1: the inside of it in thick black stylized font, reading

400
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 1: cryptically tam arm. Should you've been listening to Unexplained Season six,
