Episode notes

Derek Abbott got in touch with Stuart Webb, a man he believed to be the great grandson of Charles Webb's brother. He says apparently people in his family even told the police years ago that they thought one of their relatives could be the summington man. "It looks like the police in the correspondence had wrongly assumed it was one of the uncles, not the other"

In 1948, two horse jockeys were riding on a beach in Australia when they came across a man lying in the sand. There was a partially smoked cigarette resting on his jacket. He was well dressed, with a striped tie and polished shoes. And he was dead.

No one could figure out who he was.
