Missing 12 year old Bangkok girl sparks urgent search

A 12 year old girl has been missing for three continuous days under mysterious circumstances. Her distraught mother found a chat conversation between her daughter and a young man, prompting urgent police action to locate her. Concerns for her safety arose when the last CCTV footage of her was found at 10am today at Bang Na Police Station.

 

Kanthasat Pongpaibulvech, also known as Gun Jompholung, along with the mother of the missing girl, asked Police Lieutenant Colonel Surapong Sukyaem, Bang Na Police Station’s investigation officer, for assistance. They fear the girl has been lured away and could be in danger of exploitation or human trafficking.

 

Gun Jompholung relayed that the mother reported her daughter missing for three days. She had seen a chat conversation between her daughter and a man, who was persuading and pressuring the young girl to meet him.

 

CCTV footage showed the girl leaving with a backpack and being taken away on a motorcycle by a man. Upon investigation, it was revealed that this man was the owner of the apartment where they lived.

 

The girl was deceived by the man from the chat conversation, who then tricked the apartment owner into dropping her off at the Ekkamai bus terminal, claiming she was going to visit relatives in another province. Since then, she has been unreachable, leaving her mother extremely worried.

 

Furthermore, the mother of the 20 year old man suspected of luring the girl contacted Gun Jompholung, claiming ignorance of the matter and not wanting it to become a big issue. She suggested settling the matter financially, which the girl’s parents firmly rejected, only wanting their daughter returned safely.

So the mother of the 20 year old man tried to bribe the mother to drop any investigation regarding her sons actions.. maybe she is complicit in this evil action.

Police ned to track down both and get some answers fast to get the daughter back home to safety.

She didn't head off to Phuket and meet up with friends on the beach there at 4.30am by chance?  

What about CCTV at Ekkamai bus station? 

And what's with the cops having a photo of the wrong girl?

So many Thais are morally bankrupt. The only thing that matters to them, no matter what, is money. That can buy or solve anything, including possible kidnapping.

Im truly wishing a happy ending here.  

Quite a bizarre story unfolding I feel.  Perp must have had quite a brainwashing on the girl to get a 12 yr old to leave her phone behind

According to the BKK Post this morning she was found and is now in much safer hands.

I am very happy that she is safe and well.
