I see they've found his car in the photo, just need to check condo CCTV

What I don't understand is A Hans Peter Ralter/Walter Mack was arrested in Chonburi 5 years ago for trafficking minors and forcing them into prostitution. If it is the same guy, what is he doing walking the streets of Pattaya????????

so they found his car .....   but he's been arrested before in 2018 ...... 

I'll hazard a guess that the cops aren't letting on as much as they know,  were they feeling a bit short this month and need some substantial support ....   after the support is paid he'll mysteriously turn up all smiles again. 

 

 

Collect 3,100,000 baht?

62 year old with a 24 year old ? I guess money can bring you happiness .....................................and potential early death.

I hope they will find him quickly and in good health...

For many years now, it well known that certain places in Thailand are a cesspool for all sorts of jetsam and flotsam of the world, Dubious, shady characters that are aided by the weak and corrupt law enforcement agencies, and that unfortunately this is how its going to stay.

 

[Hanuman2547]

Doesn't sound like this is going to end up in a good way.  It also doesn't appear that he was convicted of anything five years ago from his arrest.

Russian mafia on Phuket.

 

Chinese mafia on Phuket.

 

What a dirty place! OMG

Absolutely right.

 

Unfortunately, Thailand has become a safe heaven for criminals and fugitives from all over the world including Germany, Holland, France, Poland, Lithuania, China, Great Britain, Australia, Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Romania, United States, South Korea, etc. Not excluding Africa and Latin America.

 

Shame on Thailand!

The trouble with wealthy foreigners in Thailand is that most are thugs and gangsters

The 24 year old lady friend was a little to quick off the mark when she made the missing report to the police.

If theirs any money involved - follow it.

 

[Elkski]

I only go missing for 15 minutes she's on the phone. were are you? 

[Cabradelmar]

He's dead. Karma or fate... But when you live as carelessly as this man lived, it's not at all surprising. Maybe even deserved. Given his purported history, I suspect the list is quite long as to possible suspects.

He is a pedo., probably knew the woman when she was still at school. 

 

My gf is 26yo, she's 5'6", 46kg small and petite, amazingly beautiful. 

 

What are guys thinking, a young teenager, still at school, wouldn't want that, can't think of anything worse. 

 

We are spoilt living in Thailand, driving down the soi's, every corner you turn there is a beautiful, petite sexy Thai woman. 

 

In Australia you just fat and ugly.

[bamnutsak]

I wonder if Mr. Mack registered for facial recognition at his banks thereby allowing for transfers above 50,000 baht?

 

I'm sure the police will be checking his banking/credit card activity.

 

I mean it's binary, he's either done a runner, or he's paying his own ransom.

It's 100% the same guy. If you think otherwise, you're delusional. The story is from 2018. Same name just missing one of his middle names. Hans Peter Walter Mack and Hans Peter Mack. 56 in story from 2018 and 62 now which adds up the age. Build, hair looks like him. 41 year old Thai woman was procuring young girls for him, not his wife who is now 24 and he married at 19.

Thankfully there are no criminals or fugitives from Canada. Eh.

A 62yo, German, driving a convertible Mercedes Benz, married to a 24yo. 

 

I often read strange articles through the media regarding foreigners living in Pattaya over the last 20 years, the majority of those strange articles don't have happy endings.

 

Strange that. I'm a foreigner and have been living in the Pattaya area for over sixteen years and I'm very happy and don't feel in any danger at all. In fact, during my time here I've read of farang going missing all over Thailand. 

This guy bought a large house just recently which I can see from my place. Hope they find him safe and well, but I fear the worst.

May I suggest you read them yourself, before playing smart Alec here, and point out which of the linked articles that were published before his post, mention liquid cleaner.
