Thai Rath continued to report on the hunt for the missing eight year old infant "Nong Tor" in Nakhon Pathom, central Thailand last night.

 

Torsak Saengsawang, 8 months, is the son of 19 year old Sitthichoke and his 16 year old wife.

 

He went missing from their house in Hinmoon sub-district of Bang Len district on Sunday.

 

The mother has said that a mystery man in a yellow shirt abducted the boy.

 

On Tuesday a police search of a recently cemented squat toilet uncovered nothing, as reported by ASEAN NOW.

 

Last night at 8pm deputy of the provincial police Pol Col Phallop Suriyan Na Ayutthaya enlisted the help of a group known as D.R.A.T. - Disaster Response Associations Thailand.

 

DRAT used heat seeking drones to survey a 10 rai area behind the couple's house that is heavily wooded.

 

DRAT staff said that after talking to the couple they concentrated on a suspect area where lots of cement has been dumped.

 

They discovered heat emanating from the area that was not caused by human habitation.

 

As the hunt intensified they planned to zoom in and check that particular area in detail.

 

Stay tuned at ASEAN NOW for more news of this disturbing case.

I think that is a typo. Mum is 16. Maybe 8 month old?

I wonder if any CCTV in the area has evidence of a mystery man in yellow?

 

Mum is only sixteen. Barely old enough to look after herself, never mind an eight month kid.

Hope Nong Tor turns up okay and the parents are cleared.
