Police rule out murder or serious crime after US owner of buried BMW is located safe and well 

by James Morris and Son Nguyen

 

murder-ruled-out-as-US-man-bmw-found-buried-1.jpg

On Wednesday, 3rd February, Deputy National Police Commissioner General Suchart Teerasawat, also known as ‘Big Mai’, flew, by helicopter, to Nakhon Si Thammarat. He was there to meet with senior police officers in the Chaloem Phra Kiat district investigating the appearance of a buried BMW car, in a rainstorm, once owned by an American teacher in Phuket, 52-year-old Michael Dylan Gregory. The investigation has established that Mr G, who left Thailand ten years ago, is alive and well but is still probing the mystery of why the car was buried, believing the circumstance to be ‘ highly suspicious’ and indicative of criminal activity.
