Damn! 404-ed again! *swears profusely*

Never mind, we'll find out as soon as the trial has been concluded for the 'alleged' crimes committed against those two poor girls. I expected as much anyway regarding the likelihood of other 'alleged' crime(s).

Old article:

'Man accused of Salt Creek backpacker abduction and rape may be linked to the cold case murder of another woman in 1995.

Salt Creek attack case could be linked to a cold case murder interstate. #SaltCreek #7News

The man accused of last week’s alleged kidnapping and attempted murder of two backpackers at Salt Creek is being investigated for links to the murder of an Italian tourist in 1995.'

'Tasmania police are now examining similarities between the two cases.

“Taskforce investigators are in touch regularly with our interstate colleagues and we’re seeking their assistance and asking them to check records,” Inspector Trent Cox told Seven News.

While SA police say there’s no evidence to link the 59-year-old Morphett Vale man with any other crimes they say they will leave no stone unturned.'

The link was dead before I posted but it was the only place I found the first sentence of the article confirming the additional charges relate to a separate crime.

I did a quick online search last night but browser crashed so gave up and went to bed. I'll have another sniff around for possibilities today.

This case has suppression order in South Australia but elsewhere it's ok:


The Adelaide Magistrates Court heard how South Australia was known as the “suppression state” and that traditional media outlets were bound by any secrecy orders while publications interstate, and overseas were not.

How many?

Does anyone else have any other candidates?

Can anyone track his timeline as he moved around the country since the mid-70s.

Police are now investigating similarities between last week's alleged kidnapping and attempted murder of two backpackers at Salt Creek and a notorious cold case murder in Tasmania from more than 20 years ago in a bombshell development in the investigation, Seven News can reveal.

The death of Italian tourist Victoria Cafasso in 1995 is one of Tasmania's most baffling unsolved crimes.

The 20-year-old was stabbed in a frenzied attack on a lonely beach on the state's east coast.

She was found partially naked in the shallows with her attacker nowhere to be seen.

“Taskforce investigators are in touch regularly with our interstate colleagues and we're seeking their assistance and asking them to check records,” Inspector Trent Cox said.

At a guess, RH's MO is young women and he's violent.

Another WSer has started a thread looking at possible victims of RC:

I wouldn't have started this if I knew there was already a thread (I should have searched!).

I had a read through. Some good stuff in there and will be revisiting to go through some of those links in detail. I'd suggest mods merge the threads but this one is out of the closet in terms of his ID.

I don't think there's a person who wouldn't be completely surprised if this guy wasn't an SK. This guy has SK written all over him.

I think it's good to have a separate thread discussing possible victims. I agree with you. If he's not an SK, he's almost certainly a violent repeat sexual offender IMO.

Whoops! The initials above should have been RH.

Can't see this information on the thread:

Accused Salt Creek backpacker attacker temporarily abandons bail application
ABC News

'A court has heard medical and computer forensic evidence is still being gathered against a man accused of attacking two women in South Australia's Coorong in February.'

'The court heard the man would abandon a bail application for now, but his defence flagged a fresh application.'

'The man will re-appear in court in Adelaide in June when a date will be set for him to answer the charges.'

Just reading old articles about this case. The fact that we've heard nothing more in MSM, coupled with the investigators' early comments and the size of the Task Force, seems even more ominous. Even more reason to believe RH is a violent repeat offender.

Coorong backpacker kidnap, rape case: Taskforce taking calls as they investigate alleged rapist for other 'sinister' crimes

'"The very nature of this crime cries out for us to inquire into the background of this particular suspect," Assistant Commissioner Barr said.

"We'll be trawling his history and other persons he may have come across.

"These sorts of cases are very rare ... it would be prudent to investigate the background of this offence."

Detectives have seized a number of items from the accused man's home in Adelaide's southern suburbs as well as his vehicle.

"They do cause us some concerns, which we will look at," Assistant Commissioner Barr said.

"All questions, missing persons are right at the top, will be examined to see if there are any that are perhaps linked to the suspect."'

'Taskforce Coorong was established on Thursday and includes a team of 12 detectives and intelligence officers.'

'Senior Constable Tim Sydenham said the taskforce was looking into the accused man's background for anything "sinister".'

'He said the police could not go into a lot of detail about the case, "unfortunately, for public benefit, because there is a man facing court".

Police said they were conducting interviews and forensic examinations of a number of areas, and said a "wide range of exhibits had been seized" and would be examined in detail.'
