  • @girlnextdoor0703 ...And what makes you think Jestyn Thompson is jewish?

  • @girlnextdoor0703 ...He didnt bin the book because he wanted Jestyn to see it?

  • The code was just the first letter of each word in a note he wrote to himself- and it's obvious why he didn't bin the book. Part of the code reads "ANETPMLIA... and never even think perhaps my love is as...." and "ITTMT...I think that my time...", "ABD...a brave death" and "AIAQC...and I am quite complicated" He probably had OCD, which explains why his tags were removed, and is suggestive of his propensity for depression and irrational acts. 

  • Ms. Thompson(married name) and the gent had a long time affair, during which she got pregnant but her family disapproved because he wasn't jewish. That book was her favorite, and she had two copies, one which she gave to boxall, the other to father of her boy after breaking it off with him. Distraught after learning of her engagement, he went to talk to her, and she refused him. He returned a month later intent on killing himself after she refused again to see him.

  • Maybe he was the army guys twin brother or brother or cousin

  • Great to hear from those that were investigating at the time... and Stuart Littlemore was quite handsome when he was younger!. It does sound like the police think that one of those questioned did know who Somerton Man was. The nurse is the key here. It all seems to revolve around her.

  • "Each year in spring, someone..."

  • Must have been a spy whose mission was compromised. That would have explained why he removed all tags that would identify him since he's under cover. He wrote a code message that could only be cracked by who was meant to see it and the missing page with his body was meant to tie him to that code. The book was hastily disposed of where he knew someone would find it because by that time he was already compromised. Was probably suicide from some unknown poison given to spies in this situation.

  • You can see the portrait again somewhere around 7.45.

  • suicide,the rest is nothing made out to be too too much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
