Missing Thai teen found dead; family seeks answers
Investigation intensifies as officials review timeline of disappearance
The search for missing 17 year old Napassorn, known as Nong Namtan, concluded tragically with her family confirming her death yesterday, May 10.
Napassorn, from Udon Thani, left her apartment in Pathum Thani’s Rangsit area on May 1. Her family lost contact with her at midnight, prompting her father to file a missing person report with Pathum Thani police the next day.
Police investigations revealed that Napassorn used a taxi application to travel to Rama III Road, where she then took another taxi to Pattaya’s Walking Street. She returned to the Rama III area in the second taxi before vanishing.
Yesterday, May 10, a Facebook user named Papassorn, believed to be related to Napassorn, announced her death and expressed gratitude to those who assisted in the search.
According to the post, Napassorn had jumped into the Chao Phraya River, and her body was discovered on May 3. However, the family harboured many questions regarding the circumstances of her death and sought truth and justice for her.
The family expressed the difficulty of seeking justice as an ordinary family. The events leading up to Napassorn’s death remain unclear, as stated in the post.
Napassorn made several phone calls before turning off her phone on the day she disappeared. It was unlikely that she had acquired a new SIM card, as she lacked her ID card at that time.
She had travelled to Pattaya, stayed briefly, and then returned to Bangkok. Security cameras captured her walking alone on Rama III Road, but no further footage was available.
The family requested video footage from the bridge and the vehicle she used, aiming to understand whether her death was intentional, reported Bangkok Post.
Additionally, the family contacted Napassorn’s bank for transaction information but had not yet received a response. In another post, Papassorn wrote, “RIP. There is no miracle. I never thought I’d lose you so soon… The worst fear was confirmed. I promise to live happily for both of us and take care of your parents for you.”
