Missing Woman May Be Linked to Serial Killer Case

On August 4, 2025, Ms. Bulan Salajanes's brother filed a missing persons report at Bang Lamung Police Station in Chonburi, asking police to expedite the search and investigate possible links to an ongoing violent crime case. The family became alarmed after following news coverage of a suspect known as "Por" and discovering that bodies were found in areas near where Ms. Bulan had lived and traveled regularly, including Pattaya and Khao Chi Chumphon. Ms. Bulan, 35, normally lived in Pattaya and traveled regularly to her hometown in Chaiyaphum Province, maintaining contact with friends and a foreign boyfriend who supported her financially. However, she abruptly stopped communicating with everyone without explanation.
According to her brother, Ms. Bulan traveled frequently between Pattaya and Chaiyaphum, usually meeting her foreign boyfriend when in Pattaya. After she went missing, the family initially reported it in Ayutthaya Province where the brother lives, but was directed to file a report in Pattaya as the relevant jurisdiction. Preliminary investigation revealed that Ms. Bulan once stayed in a certain area and borrowed someone's phone to contact her boyfriend before leaving. The family noted that she later disappeared without further contact, which is unusual since she could normally borrow a phone if hers was lost.
Her brother posted her photo on social media the previous evening, attracting significant attention, but no credible sightings have been reported. Her phone number cannot be reached, and close friends confirm her disappearance is highly abnormal given the unusually long silence. Police are investigating her travel routes, reviewing CCTV footage, identifying persons of interest, and tracking her missing motorcycle. Authorities are coordinating with relevant agencies in Chonburi to search and determine her safety. At present, there is no confirmed evidence linking her disappearance to Por's case, though investigators are thoroughly examining all facts and suspicious details raised by the family.
