On December 1, 1948, a man was found dead on Somerton Beach, South Australia.

No identification. No cause of death. A scrap of paper in a hidden pocket: "Tamám Shud." It is finished.

Seventy-seven years. Multiple governments. Generations of investigators. The file never closed.

This practice took its name from that case and produced findings in it that no prior investigator did.

Case 1948 accepts a limited number of matters each year. The practice specializes in post-incident reconstruction. It is retained after the event, after the investigation, after the file was closed. The work documents what should have happened and did not. Casework spans six continents, ministries of interior, and law enforcement bodies at the federal and international level. Case 1948 serves forensic scientists, physicians, legal counsel, Parliament, corporate organizations, and the judiciary. 

Matters are accepted by referral and by direct inquiry. Not every inquiry is accepted.

Post-incident reconstruction of workplace violence, threat cases, and unclosed investigations.

Behavioral threat assessment and predictive forensic mapping.

Crime scene reconstruction and cold case analysis.

Forensic vetting of personnel, counterparties, and institutions.

Expert review of investigative files prepared for counsel and the judiciary.

Initial contact requires case summary. Nature of matter, jurisdiction, timeline, scope. Consultation assesses fit. Not all cases accepted. Conflicts disclosed immediately. Confidentiality absolute. Work product privileged where applicable. Fees structured by complexity. Retainer required.
