Features

30 Tamâm Shud: The Mystery of Australia's Unknown Man (cover story)
On 1 December 1948, a man's body was found on the beach of an Adelaide suburb. Who he was and how he died have remained a mystery for nearly 70 years, despite a trail of bizarre and tantalising clues. Roy Bainton re-opens Australia's weirdest cold case file.

36 Ancient Assassins?
Barry Baldwin sifts through the evidence at a pair of classical crime scenes in an attempt to figure out who done what to whom in a saga of political conspiracy and family plots that makes Game of Thrones look like The Waltons...

40 The Taking of Dr Moore... and His Return
As he embarks upon a comprehensive survey of historical claims for levitation and other forms of supernatural transportation, Bob Rickard will be posting occasional bullitens on some intersting cases, such as this fascinating fairy abduction from 17th century Ireland.
