in a world where our measure of human barbarity is all too frequently being re-evaluated what happened to to overseas backpackers at a remote South Australian beach sets a new unthinkable low for horror Salt Creek is a rugged and spectacular piece of coastline 200 kilometers southeast of Adelaide but it's very isolation made it the perfect setting for monster Roman Hinds to try to satisfy his wicked fantasies he lured the unsuspecting 23 year olds one from Brazil one from Germany to the beach and then kidnapped and attacked them but how the young women fought to save themselves and each other shows courage can conquer evil tonight for the first time Beatrice and Lina tell their incredible story of escape from Salt Creek and we have to warn you this story has some confronting scenes and violence [Music] it's Tuesday the 9th of February 2016 and police are responding to a chilling cry for help as this home video shows it started out as a regular road trip a friendly stranger giving to young backpackers arrived they think they're safe but just moments later these two women are fighting for their lives what happened at this abandoned and remote campsite at the hands of this man Roman Hinds is terrifying he is evil in the worst kind he's another either Mallette [Music] and for all its beauty Salt Creek two hours southeast of Adelaide was his hunting ground when you get out of the middle of nail a needle in a haystack and the chances of two girls that survived him caught the chances that happening a really really remote but the survival of Beatrice from Brazil and Lena from Germany didn't come without an incredible fight worthy of a Hollywood movie [Music] ramit Heinz didn't count on you two did he he didn't count on how strong you were he expect that we both would be weak and he can just do what he wants with us he didn't know that he was in fact facing two Amazonian women who were much stronger than him yeah I think we were just is murder right matter yeah exactly just at that moment it just we knew that we had to fight we had to do whatever wasn't needed to survive somehow [Music] walking on these roads with off I think it's kinda way everything's you just think of the beach of the song like 24/7 Australia has long been the go-to destination for free-spirited backpackers keen on adventure I think Australia self across a safe place we have plenty of Sun surf and in the minds of backpackers not so many serial killers no yeah are there serial killer see I still wouldn't get into a car like hitchhike by myself but if I do it with her someone else or stuff like that I would definitely do that yeah Lena to thought Australia's safe even after watching our own backpacker horror film Wolf Creek which she considered pure fiction terrorists I watch it with a friend together and I remember that I was telling him after the movie was finished that I said to him this is horrible but it's not real this will never ever happen to anyone like not like this and then yeah one month later yeah something like that happened and it happened to you yeah so it's quite unbelievable both 23 at the time Beatrice and Lena had always dreamed of visiting Australia Lena was on a gap year and Beatrice was completing her nursing studies both were keen to see as much as they could my first adventure in my life and I really wanted to do it so I wasn't really that's that void and I knew there would be a lot of backpackers anyway one of those backpackers would be Beatrice who had also never before traveled on her own just one week after meeting new Aussie boyfriend James she was on her way to Adelaide everyone says it's a good experience to travel by yourself and I thought like I'm gonna be in Australia I'm gonna meet people in the way it's like lovely country just gonna try and James did you think it was safe yeah yeah things happen I mean everyone knows Ivan Milat and those sorts of people but it's almost like a myth really we never expected that in Adelaide Beatrice meets Lena for the first time and learns they have the same plans a desire to see the great ocean road they just need a ride and so as so many young travelers do Beatrice posts an ad on gumtree looking for someone to drive them from Adelaide to Melbourne I got two main responds first a guy that it was the one that I wanted to go but the night before he had a problem with his car so I had to cancel with him and that's when I called to my second option which was Roman did you get any sort of sense of warning any sense of danger at all in those initial dealings with him no I just thought he was a bit impatient that's the feeling that I had because he was sigh like send me message like just be nice with me you just send me a message just answer if you want to go or not but I didn't have so many options Tuesday 9th of February last year and Lena and Beatrice arrive at the designated meeting spot 59 year old Roman Hines is already there waiting the first impression that I had it was weird because he looked like older than what I was yeah I was thinking I thought like okay Beatrice is here too and that made me feel safer then it would normally do yeah I'm not sure if I would have gone with him all alone I yeah yeah [Music] what the girls did not know was they were now with a man who was dangerously volatile a man who planned to hurt them this looks like you and happier times yes it was actually it was a fantastic time you know this is before he started down a bit weed artist Silvia Clarke fell in love with a man she found charming but very soon encountered another side to him so here you are happy six months later I'm black and blue and heartbroken Silvia says these photos are evidence of a vicious attack by Roman just one month before he picks up Beatrice and Lena her account is harrowing I must I went into a deep sleep and then I woke up this hand was already tied up my left hand was already tied up and I just said what the hell are you doing then he just he just swore at me and told me to shut up and then he started biting me he kept constantly biting me and then he was grabbing me like I was a dirty rag and just yanking at me my legs trying to get my legs apart and in the end I just laid there and I just thought to myself he's if I keep doing this it could come out worse then when it finished it just rolled over left me tied up just rolled over turned his back like all others they flying there you didn't say anything to you didn't say a single word to me - ashamed to go to police Silvia ended the relationship and luckily escaped a planned camping trip to Salt Creek what do you think might have happened to you if you'd gone with him on that camping trip to Salt Creek well the way he would like that flick instantly from one person to another I probably wouldn't have come back blissfully unaware of his violence against Silvia Beatriz and Lena and now two hours into their drive with Heinz without discussing it with the girls he pulls off at Salt Creek to set up camp miles from anywhere and anyone he just went there and started setting up the tents and there didn't like any special place it was just a page in the middle of nowhere know why so I just I don't know why why here you know at what point do you think he planned that now I think he planned before before I see my ads you know he was already chasing someone to do something bad coming up so well in the middle of nowhere Hans becomes a monster she grabbed me and then I realized it wasn't a joke his terrifying plan is revealed in chilling detail what happens next oh my god he wants to kill us that's next on 60 minutes
