Search resumes for missing Russian tourist on Samui

By The Nation

 

Inna Obukhova

 

Officials on Tuesday resumed the search for a female Russian tourist with dementia who had gone missing on Koh Samui in Surat Thani more than a month ago.

 

The operation is being assisted by a sniffer dog from the Nakhon Si Thammarat Border Patrol Police (BPP) command.

 

Inna Obukhova, 39, was last seen at Centra Coconut Resort Samui in Tambon Taling Ngam on April 20.

 

The renewed search operation, led by Samui police chief Pol Colonel Paithoon Krachachang, is divided into three teams.

 

The first team, headed by Pol Lieutenant Prapai Kaewprasit of the War Dog Unit of the BPP command, is searching in the area near the hotel where the woman had stayed.

 

The second team will comb Khao Hin Lek mountain in Tambon Taling Ngam, where there are several resort residences for Russians.

 

The third team will use a patrol boat to check around Koh Ha, which is an islet off Samui. 

 

The small island is a private firm’s concession area for the collection of bird nests. 

 

Paithoon said the team would check the area out after police had received tip-offs that a foreigner was seen climbing rocks on Koh Ha.

Why not brought in before ?,i would think any scent from the lady would be long gone,

did they ever find the other Russian woman,the diver ?

Never thought this one would be heard of again. Usually they sweep it under the thick rug, for us to finally forget.
However, they are far to late, though.

And we're off. Today's example of "I couldn't be more wrong if I tried" by someone trying to look knowledgeable 

 

Alzheimer's and vascular are the main causes of dementia in younger people. The one's you propose barely register at that age.

 

Yes, I have thoroughly researched the subject and for very good reason. Added to which I studied health science and psychology at uni

Its quite common in the western world as well to let 30 days pass prior to start this kind of operation in disappearance cases without any criminal traces so no reason to expect it at a earlier stage in this case.

1 month ago .. How long ? Can't believe my eyes. A person with dementia - and now only they start looking ... female too.

First trip to south 1976 - never forget those hollow dark eyes staring at us from all corners  upon reaching Surathani .. What has this got to do with the Russian person missing , Right - nothing except once you study the eyes staring at you, you either know how to interprete those or you always stay a fool . .

Naah there is no love left for anything foreign there..

Russian Tourist ... 1 month missing ..Samui ...be realistic.

Oooh!? I have more than my share of positive comments the latest 3 days. I have been writing between 2-3 happy comments about people stuck in lift, good teachers and more.
That would, out of approx. around 50 comments, stand as a staggering 4-6% percent of pure happiness and positive mindset.

By the way. I work really hard for acheiving that high number, so please don´t ask me for more.

someone,who is very vulnerable.what western countries ?

Did I say look for - I did not....

 

To start looking for someone missing normally require  a 24hours timeframe which has already been done, but I said this kind of operation i.e sniffer dogs etc...

Its quite different if a person goes missing from their home , in their home Country , as thay could be staying with friends .

    Its quite different when its a foreigner on an Island .

I am totally agree on a general basis, but in most of those cases which is not few each year the tourists have unfortunately disappeared by their own free will and it is a huge cost involved which only in a very few cases has been paid by the tourists so based on that fact I can understand that the authorities do not rush to mobilize full force every time a tourist is reported missing and that they have a window prior to do so when there are no indications of criminal involvement as in this case...
