rooster59 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Mum's anguish as son goes missing in Thailand after 'I'm sorry' text message By ARThomas Shane Evans Fears are growing for Shane Evans, who is missing in Thailand after sending his mum a text saying 'I'm sorry'. Wendy Evans, from Linden, said she hasn't been able to contact 28-year-old Shane, who lives in Cinderford, since receiving the message on Tuesday. Shane, born in Gloucester, has been travelling around New Zealand since October but after splitting up with his girlfriend apparently headed for Thailand without telling anyone. The first Wendy knew he was there was when police traced his phone. Police here in Gloucestershire have issued an urgent missing persons appeal and want anyone who may have heard from Shane to get in touch.

Somtamnication Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Hope he is ok. But check Patpong, Soi Cowboy, Pattaya and then ring the alarm bells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkusAUST Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Getting arrested is a very easy way to suddenly be incommunicado. Normally takes a few days before the Embassy finds out. get caught with some Yaba or ice and you just vanish. Hope the fella turns up OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topt Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Do Interpol normally get involved if a 28 year old male "disappears" for a few days? And it says police checked his phone for his location? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there are more temptations here (in SE Asia in general), more people who prey on the weak/inexperienced, more pitfalls, less people/services in place to help catch people before they fall too deep, round the clock access to relatively inexpensive drink and sex, etc. I'm not saying it's a bad place nor am I saying that it's Thailand's fault, just that it's a place where a man could go mad and 'tis many a man who has gone mad here. Just look at the number of suicides over the last few years. I'm glad to be here, emotionally, financially and mentally (debatable ?) stable.

dunroaming Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 2 hours ago, dageurreotype said: He's young and good looking. Doubt he needs to visit the whore infested locales you mention for 'company'. He didn't need to come to Thailand at all as I am sure he could find himself a girlfriend at the drop of a hat. However if he has just broken up with his girlfriend he may have decided to immerse himself in a world on sex, drugs and rock and roll for a while. I don't think that there is too much to be concerned about yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DipStick Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Anyone sending "I am sorry" texts from so far away concerns me. Is he apologizing for past deeds or is he concerned about the future and has an inkling of what may come his way ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Immigration does, so when he eventually shows up at an airport, there's a ping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
