Hey, what happened to this high profile case? Just 10 days ago, the investigation was "80% complete", the miscreants were known, and the police/army were closing in.

Update anyone?

Looks like the usual publicity grab to show how on top of things the BIB supposedly are then it goes quiet for any of a host of reasons.

Officials were queuing up to get their tuppence worth in and alluding to all sorts of political motives but as usual are never called on to explain when it all goes quiet.. Thai journalism isn't big on follow ups and in the current atmosphere, as outlined by the PM in no uncertain terms, they are even more cautious than usual.

Police back to grasping at straws for suspects. What happened to the confessions and hard evidence? Maybe it was HARDLY evidence.
