Ray Bond - motorcycle rider, family man, successful businessman and long-time Singapore resident. For two decades he's travelled almost constantly throughout Asia expanding his lighting control business. He saw himself as a street-wise road warrior. But then he came badly unstuck.

RAY BOND: If it can save one or two people from this happening and if it can help them get caught, great. You know, I'd hate to see them kill someone.

It's mid-May, and Ray Bond arrives at the 5-star Park Lane Hotel in Jakarta. He's running late as he checks in after arriving from Singapore and has missed an appointment with a regular client.
Undeterred, Ray agrees to meet the customer at another Central Jakarta hotel that evening.
The Park Lane's close-circuit security camera records him exchanging money before leaving. Ray gets a cab to Le Meridien, a hotel where he's often stayed in the past.
He heads down the escalator into the basement Tigapuluh bar. Here, he buys a beer and waits for his associate.

RAY BOND: I was standing near the door waiting for him and I was a bit early. Then, you know, I was halfway through my beer when the guy next to me, who I didn't even see come up, clinked his glass on mine and said 'Cheers,' and I said, 'Cheers' back and then he started to talk to me.
He told me his name was Aaron, he was 41 from Kuala Lumpur, and introduced me to his girlfriend who he said was a Thai and her name was Jasmine.
So, yeah, halfway through my beer and I decided I needed to go to the toilet so I left my beer, walked off to the toilet, came back about probably two minutes later and stood back where I was and they were still talking to me, finished my beer off.
I know a little bit about Rohypnol now, I've been looking it up, and it has no taste, it's colourless and odourless so it would be very easy to put it in a beer and you wouldn't even know it was there and then they can tell you basically to do anything and that's what they would have done.

There are two bars in the hotel basement. As the drug begins to take effect, Ray checks out the inner bar to see if he can find his client. Then he returns to find the girl Jasmine and the man Aaron waiting for him.

RAY BOND: Only had two beers. The bar was only a few metres away, so I actually saw him get the beers. He offered me a draught beer. The last thing I remember is taking the first sip out of that beer and then, I've got no real memory until probably five days later.

While Ray can't remember what happens after that sip of beer, he and his wife Helen have pieced together what follows next from security camera clips.

The clips reveal him returning to the Park Lane Hotel about an hour later accompanied by the couple from Le Meridien.

RAY BOND: I look perfectly normal, I look happy, I'm talking to my two best friends it looks like, and off we go downstairs, I assume to a bar downstairs - there's a bar in the basement of a hotel where I was staying - and I've looked at that probably 100 times and it's not me. I cannot be - I cannot remember one single piece of that. It's not something I would have done. It scares me that this part of my memory is just not there. It's missing.

The next security video shows the trio entering the lift lobby a short time later, except now Ray is starting to look worse for wear. Looking back, he believes the couple have now given him a second, more powerful drug.
The trio take the lift to Ray's room on the 11th floor where he passes out from a massive dose of the sedative benzodiazepine. Aaron and Jasmine don't emerge for several hours. And when they do, Aaron is wearing one of Ray's shirts and that's not all.

RAY BOND: I lost an almost-new laptop computer, an almost-new mobile phone, a PDA phone, I lost a camera, and some clothing, a gold chain given to by my wife on our wedding, plus cash out of my wallet and my credit cards.

The security video shows the couple leaving the hotel, but not before one last insult.

RAY BOND: First of all you can't work out what they're doing. Then you see that Aaron has my camera and he's actually taking photos of his girlfriend with my camera in the lobby of the hotel. You know, the hide of them using my camera to take photos, it's, you know - as I said, at the time I really wanted to find them. I would like to have 10 minutes with him alone. As I said, this guy nearly killed me.

The final security video shows Aaron and Jasmine leaving the hotel in a taxi.

RAY BOND: It shows about $4,000 on each card.

Looking back, Ray now knows what they did next. His bank statements reveal their plunder of his three credit cards. First the couple book into the Crown Plaza, another opulent Jakarta 5-star. They enjoy room service, while they wait for the shops to open.
Then it's off to the ritzy Plaza Indonesia shopping centre. They spend $900 at a department store, $277 at Esprit, get themselves new jeans, a mobile phone and some shoes. But the big ticket item is over $4,000 worth of jewellery.
In all, more than AUS$10,000 is rung up in five or six hours. Combine that with the stolen equipment, and the couple have stripped almost $20,000 from their victim.
All the time the two criminals are shopping, back at the Park Lane, the comatose Ray Bond is in serious trouble. Tests will later reveal he's ingested more than 10 times the medical dose of benzodiazepine. His blood pressure has plummeted and as he dehydrates, the risk of heart attack is increasing.
In Singapore, Ray's wife Helen gets the first inkling something is wrong.

HELEN BOND: I got a call from Ray's secretary Vivian about 12:10 on the Tuesday - Wednesday, sorry, on the Wednesday, and she said to me. "Where's he staying?" And I said, "As far as I know Ray's staying at the Meridien Hotel." She said, "Because he was supposed to call someone and make a time to meet them in the afternoon - he hasn't called them." That was the first I knew.

Vital time is lost while it's established Ray is staying at the Park Lane. The hotel confirms he's there, but initially, refuses to check on him because his do-not-disturb sign is switched on.

HELEN BOND: "There's a do-not-disturb sign up, we can't go in. We can't go in for two days," so they tell us. So we ring back and we say, "We've got to go in because something's wrong."

By this time Budi, the brother-in-law of Ray's Singapore business partner has been enlisted to help. He takes a cab to the Park Lane, arriving around 3:30.

BUDI: By the time I arrived at the hotel I tried to knock at the door. There are security guy already over there. There are also a doctor and also some people from the hotel tried to check what is happening on Ray because before they already tried to enter the room by that time. Ray is sleeping and he couldn't wake up at all.

Budi convinces them to check again. He finds the room trashed, the safe open with only Ray's passport remaining. They manage to wake Ray, but he's badly disorientated.

BUDI: The hotel people ask the doctor to check on his condition first and then they found out that actually his blood pressure is quite low.

Budi rushes Ray here to this nearby hospital, where he's put on a drip. The doctors confirm he's been heavily drugged.

BUDI: According to the doctor, if nobody wakes him up it's very dangerous because his blood pressure will go down and down because he didn't consume anything at all. He will keep sleeping for two to three days. So maybe something bad happening - will happen to him.

REPORTER: So what kind of debt of gratitude do you think you owe Budi then?

HELEN BOND: Huge, I mean we are - I think we owe him big time.

A urine test taken back in Singapore reveals that four days after being drugged, Ray still has almost six times the recommended dose of benzodiazepine in his blood stream. Two months after the incident, he's gone public to warn others.

RAY BOND: You know, I'd hate to see them kill someone, someone with a heart condition, you know, they feed them 10 times the amount of diazepine and they don't wake up.

As for Aaron and Jasmine, their trail finally runs cold at the Crown Plaza Hotel the evening after their shopping spree. There, posing as Ray Bond and partner, they use his business card to introduce themselves to their next victim - another Australian.
