Mune yake inozivikanwa “Vasina 411” akateedzana emabhuku ekutsakatika kusingazivikanwe, imwe yenyaya dzakakomba dzakafukidzwa nemuferefeti uye aimbova mupurisa David Paulides nzvimbo dzakakomberedza mukomana ane makore gumi-anonzi Damian McKenzie uyo asinganzwisisike akanyangarika kubva kuAustralia mune zvisinganzwisisike mamiriro kumashure muna 10 asina kana trace.
MunaGunyana wegore iro, McKenzie nechikwata chevamwe vechidiki makumi mana vaive pamusasa wevechidiki pamakomo eAustralia State yeVictoria, padhuze neVictoria Falls neRwizi rweAcheron muTaggerty. Iwo musasa pachawo waimhanya neiyo “Vechidiki veAustralia League,” uye yaive yakarongerwa kuve yakapusa-mazuva mashanu kushanya panguva iyo vadzidzi vaienda kunofamba uye kutora chikamu mumabasa akasiyana siyana ekunze, hapana chakaipisisa. Musasa uyu wainyatsotarisirwa, uye pakanga pasati pave nedambudziko kana chiitiko zvisati zvaitika, asi izvo zvaive zvava kuda kuchinja zvakanyanya.
Musi waSeptember 4, 1974, boka iri rakaenda rwendo kuenda kuSteavenson Falls kuMarysville, Victoria, izvo zvaisanganisira kukwira nzira inokwenenzvera kubva kugomo kuenda kumapopoma. Kuwedzera kwacho kwairema, asi boka racho raitarisirwa zvakanyanya uye munhu wese aive mukati mekuona kwevamwe. Damien anonzi akatungamira mberi kwevamwe pane imwe nguva, achinyangarika zvishoma kubva pakuona, asi pakauya bato rakakomberedza bend, akange asingawanikwe.
Iwo manejimendi akatadza kutsvaga mukomana nekutsvaga munzvimbo iyi, kutaura naye hakuna kupindurwa; zvaiita sekunge aive achangobva kutsika pasi. Pakaziviswa zviremera, kumwe kutsvagisa kukuru munhoroondo yeAustralia kwakatangwa kumutsvaga, kusanganisira vanhu vanopfuura mazana matatu kubva kumasangano akasiyana siyana, kusanganisira mapurisa, Tsvagiridzo neKununura, iyo Federation yeVictorian Kufamba Makirabhu Kutsvaga uye Kununura Chikamu, iyo Forestry Commission yeVictoria, Red Cross, uye vazhinji vanozvipira veko, pamwe nekushandisa kwendege uye imbwa dzinoteedzera kutsvaga murenje. Kutsvaga kwacho kwakatora kwevhiki uye kwakazomiswa nekuda kwemamiriro ekunze asina kunaka pasina kana chiratidzo chimwe chaDamian McKenzie, magumo ake asingazivikanwe.
Panogona kuve nezvimwe zvisinganzwisisike, maererano naDavid Paulides panguva yekutsvaga. Kune imwe, anoti imbwa dzinoteedzera hadziite chero hwema hwemukomana. Izvo hazvisi zvekuti vakatora nzira uye vobva varasikirwa nayo; asi, imbwa hadzina kuwana chero kunhuhwirira kuverenga kwemukomana zvachose, kutenderera tenderera, vasina chokwadi nezve izvo zvavaifanirwa kunge vachitsvaga. Chimwe chirevo chinoshamisa, sekureva kwaPaulides, ndechekuti makwara emukomana akaonekwa kuti akatungamira kumusoro kwerimwe rwizi rwamvura ndokungomira sekunge anga asimuka ipapo ipapo. Ichi chiziviso chisina kujairika, kunyangwe hazvo zvisiri kujeka kuti ndezvechokwadi sei, seimwe nyanzvi yekuferefeta panyaya iyi inonzi Valentine Smith akati:
Kuda kuziva kunoramba kuchikura. Kunyangwe tsoka dzekutsakatika dzisingazivikanwe kuve kwekushongedzwa kana kwete, chokwadi chinoramba chiri chekuti kana Damian kana chero chiratidzo chake hachina kumbowanikwa, zvichitungamira kune akaurayiwa mazano pamusoro pezvakaitika kwaari. Imwe ingangodaro ndeyekuti akangorasika musango. Iyo nharaunda iyo ivo vaikwira vaizivikanwa senzvimbo ine makomo uye yakazara masango, ine rinorema bhurasho nemashizha ayo aisatombo fambika munzvimbo dzinoverengeka. Kunyangwe vekutsvaga nekununura vashandi vakabvuma kuti mukomana aigona kunge anga ari tsoka shoma uye vangangodaro vasina kumuona. Dai akarohwa asina chaanoziva nekudonha, akafa ne hypothermia mukutonhora kwakanyanya, kana zvimwe akaremara uye asingakwanise kufona, zvinokwanisika kuti kuvhiyiwa kwaizomupotsa.
Dambudziko nderekuti akange asingaonekwe kwenguva pfupi, saka aigona sei kuenda kure kure neboka, uye nei aisazodaira kuzita rake achidaidzwa achangonyangarika?
Imwe dzidziso ndeyekuti akatora kudonha zvine chisimba pasi pamukwidza ndokudonhera murwizi rweSteavenson rwakavakidzana, kwaakashambidza ndokunyura, kunyangwe vatsvagirisi vakanyatsotsvaga rwizi rwusina kudzika uye runofamba zvishoma uye vaive nechokwadi chekuti aive asipo . Ivo, kune rumwe rutivi, vangave vakamuregeredza here?
Iko kune zvakare mukana wekuti akadonha pasi mineshaft, sezvo nzvimbo yacho pakutanga yaishandiswa kutsvaga goridhe kune imwe nhanho, uye nepo ese anozivikanwa shafts yemigodhi yakagara yakavharirwa mukati kudzivirira izvi kuti zviitike, pamwe pane zvimwe zvakarasika uye wakanganikwa. Zvinotyisa kwazvo kunyangwe mukana wekuti Damian abvutwa, asi zvapupu zvinoti pakange pasina chiratidzo cheumwe munhu asina kujairika padyo, uye chimiro chemo chingadai chakaita kuti zviome kuti abductor abvute mukomana uye nekumutamisa, zvine nyore chete nzira yekuita kudaro uri pasi penzira iyoyo.
Pakupedzisira, isu hatizive zvakaitika kuna Damien McKenzie. Isu takasara tichishamisika kuti angave sei asingaonekwe kwenguva pfupi uye obva anyangarika kubva pachiso chenyika. Isu takasara nezvakataurwa naPaulides zvekuti paive nematirakiti akanyangarika chaiko pakati pekufamba uye kuti imbwa dze tracker dzakakatyamadzwa zvachose, asi hazvizivikanwe kuti izvi ndezvechokwadi sei. Mukomana uyu akarasika, akabiwa, akauraiwa nemhuka dzesango, kana pamwe akabatwa nemasimba asingazivikanwe? Chero angave mamiriro angave anga ari, mukomana haana kuzombowanikwa, uye nyaya yake inoramba isina kugadziriswa nanhasi.
