    The Exmoor Body Mystery | Unidentified Somerset John Doe

    In 2002, a park ranger on Exmoor made a discovery that would spark one of the UK’s most haunting forensic mysteries. Found in a remote area of the moor, a man lay unidentified with no name, no ID, and no one who reported him missing. But the science revealed a chilling detail.. This man hadn't passed away on the moor. Forensics suggest his body had been kept elsewhere for nearly two years before he was ever left there. Who was he, and where had he been kept? In this episode, we explore the life and silence of the Exmoor man. We look at the unique clues he left behind—most notably a gold pendant inscribed with the Ayat al-Kursi  (the Throne Verse in the Quran). We discuss the investigation, the sad reality of invisibility and why one golden fragment might still be the key to bringing him home. 00:00 - intro 01:27 - the discovery 02:22 - the investigation 04:35 - the shocking forensic timeline 05:42 - his belongings 07:19 - potentially being invisible to society 08:04 - his funeral 09:08 - how we can maybe help Resources & Links Mentioned: ​National Crime Agency (NCA): Case number: 03-000067 https://www.nationalcrimeagency.gov.uk/cases/case-03-000067​Missing People: Support for families of the missing.
