A 24-year-old Belgian backpacker who was allegedly abducted by a man in Murray Bridge sent text messages to her only Australian friend in a bid to escape.
The woman – who cannot be named for legal reasons – sent the chilling texts from her laptop to her friend, who was working on a passionfruit farm 3000km away in Queensland, the Adelaide Advertiser reports.
The friend then showed the messages to 61-year-old Chris Newman, who owned the farm she was working on.
According to Newman, the messages detailed where the 24-year-old woman was being taken.
"[The message said] I've been kidnapped, they've taken me out into the country two hours from Murray Bridge," Newman told The Advertiser.

The Detective Inspector's idea of 'unharmed' and my idea of 'unharmed' are worlds apart.
She was unharmed? No, nevermind the fact she was raped. No harm in that (sarcasm).
