The aunt of suspect Pong said she last saw him on July 27 when he left claiming his child was sick in Chanthaburi; police now suspect he fled there after two Russian siblings vanished, while investigators search a Chon Buri forest area wher
The aunt of suspect Pong, 43, revealed that she last saw him on July 27 around 9 p.m. when he came to her house asking for help fixing electrical wiring. After receiving a phone call, he told her he needed to go to Chanthaburi because his child was sick, and left. That was the last time she saw him, leading her to believe he has fled to Chanthaburi province. She described him as violent and prone to brutality, mentioning he was severely abused by his own father as a child. She appealed to him to turn himself in, warning that if he dies, only rescue workers will be involved. Police have questioned the wife of another suspect, Thang, who claimed she had not seen him since July 27. However, at least five villagers reported hearing Thang cry for help on July 29 in a desperate tone, prompting police to suspect he may have been murdered to silence him. Officers and local administrators are conducting a coordinated search in a dense forest area opposite a Chinese shrine near a temple in Chon Buri, believed to be where Pong may have taken the Russian siblings.
