"When girlfriend, Heike Dorsch waved goodbye to her boyfriend one morning, nothing was out of the ordinary. German-native and avid round-the-world sailor, Stefan Ramin was in tip-top shape giving her no reason to worry when Ramin arranged to go on a traditional goat hunt in the forest after dropping anchor at Nuku Hiva in French Polynesia last month.
The couple had set sail back in 2008 on a journey to sail around the world in a catamaran.
Stefan Ramin was an aquatic sports man; he indulged in everything that one can do on and under the water. Deciding to do something “different” wasn’t out of the blue, as Ramin wanted to experience this journey and all that it had to offer to the fullest.
However, when the guide returned solo, Hieke Dorsch new something was amiss. The local guide named Henri Haiti told her: “There’s been an accident. He needs help.” shocked by the news, Dorsch’s natural reaction was to run into the forest to aid her boyfriend, however her effort was derailed, as the 37 year-old Dorsch claims Haiti chained her to a fence and proceeded to sexually assault her.
After what seemed like hours she was able to escape and alert authorities, sparking a seven-day search for Stefan Ramin as well as a manhunt for travel guide Henri Haiti.
On the seventh day of the search, a crew of 22 police officers, found remains in the embers of a campfire that were believed to be those of 40-year-old Stefan Ramin. Among the embers were bones including a jawbone, teeth and melted metal – believed to be fillings."
