In January 2006, Ricky Megee had been offered work in a government department in Port Hedland, Western Australia, and set off on the long drive, which he had made multiple times before. He took the Buntine Highway, which for much of his journey was a desert track across the Australian Outback of the Northern Territory when three men sitting on the roadside, had run out of gas. He offered to give one of them a lift and later recalled feeling increasingly "dazed and confused", and then blacked out before he recovered consciousness hours later. He later awoke in their camp and was drugged again and passed out.

When he regained consciousness, he was in a hole, covered in black plastic, which had had some rocks and dirt thrown on top" and only the attempts by four[dingoes to claw him woke him up. Ricky woke up to unfamiliar terrain, with no food and water, in the middle of the Australian Outback Desert, with no rescue in sight.
