Last week, we uncovered a body with no name, a rare book with a torn page, and a strange code scribbled in pencil. Now, the phone number found in that book leads us straight to Jessica Thomson—a woman just blocks from the crime scene, who denies knowing the man but nearly collapses when she sees his face.

And decades later, her story only gets weirder.

We’ll dig into her wartime connection to Alf Boxall—who turned out to be alive—and the strange twist involving her son, Robin, a dancer with the same rare physical traits as the dead man. Was the Somerton Man his father?

Enter Professor Derek Abbott—an Australian physicist who falls deep into the case and ends up marrying Jessica’s granddaughter. What starts as an investigation turns into obsession, love, and a decades-long search for the truth.

From wartime secrets to tangled DNA—this one’s just heating up.

In this episode, we go over the mysterious case of the Somerton Man—the unknown body found on an Australian beach in 1948 with no ID, no cause of death, and no signs of a struggle. Dressed sharp, staged like he sat down for a smoke and just… died. But the deeper investigators dug, the stranger it got.

A hidden pocket. A cipher no one’s ever cracked. A nurse who recognized him but swore she didn’t. And a torn piece of paper tucked in his pants that simply read: Tamám Shud.Was he a spy? A victim of Cold War assassination? Or something even stranger?

We break it all down—clues, autopsy, theories, and more. And this is just Part One.

So the next time you and your loved one decide to take a late night stroll on the sand… you might want to check who else is already there.

Welcome to the Summer of Dread.

We’re back and it’s about to get real weird.

In this episode of True Terror on Tap, your hosts Joseph, Gabe, and RedBear crack open the first cold one of the season and dive straight into four stories that set the tone for a summer packed with terror, urban legends, and the bizarre.

We’re talking the Bunny Man of Virginia and his creepy-ass bridge, a mysterious case in Brazil where two men were found dead in lead masks with zero explanation, and the 1981 Phantom Clown Panic that had kids across America scared to go outside. You already know we’re gonna throw in side tangents, jokes, and speculation you didn’t ask for but need to hear anyway.

This is the kickoff to a full season of creepy episodes dropping all summer long—campfire-ready, road trip-approved, and always unfiltered.

So the next time you hear something in the woods, see a clown where one shouldn’t be, or find a note that makes no sense—you might want to turn around, grab a drink, and keep your damn flashlight on.
