Don't be silly keystone because they didn't solve it in 2 months.. That's nothing! . Google unsolved murders in USA google unsolved murders FBI! I suppose they are key stone cops as well then.

CSI is not amusing. It's real life interviews with real life detectives and forensic expert's and real life court room drama.

Dude do yourself a yuuugge favor and do some research before posting.

Arhh, bless!!  :smile:

 

Edit.     Duuuuuude......

There's a lot of posts on thaivisa about this across multiple threads which aren't very well-informed.  For example people mentioning rip currents.  Rip currents aren't really dangerous to any freediver who can dive 20m.  You will know about ripcurrents (and learn how to deal with them safely) long before you start freediving that seriously.  It's a bit like calling the cold a danger to polar bears.

 

Her diving stuff was missing from her room.  Unless somebody removed it, (would require a number of parties being complicit which even for Koh Tao would be a bit of a stretch) that implies she was diving or on the way to dive when whatever happened, happened.

 

Underwater blackouts are a real danger to freedivers and there is very little publicity about them.  They can happen to anybody hyperventilating (breathing deeply in and out) before diving.  Even in shallow water, for example swimming lengths underwater in a swimming pool.

 

Your brain is tricked into thinking you have enough oxygen in your lungs to stay underwater, but they don't, and you black out, and when you black out underwater death is almost certain, unless you have somebody close by that notices and they can resuscitate you (difficult to do if you're in deep water).

 

This girl was a freediver, and she probably hyperventilated before diving, as this is what freediving schools teach you to do to extend your breath hold.

 

I'm not an expert on Koh Tao currents but I think it is unlikely that the body drifted away from Koh Tao.  It'd be more likely to settle on the bottom where (by the time they started looking for it), it would have been scavenged by fish, sharks, crabs and other marine life.  So, the only curiosity is that no bones or flesh remnants were found.

The body of the last diver to go missing from Koh Tao washed up on the Surat Thani mainland completely intact. Welcome to ThaiVisa by the way.

Are you referring to the French diving instructor Jean-Francois Louet who was suffering from disorientation after diving in Indonesia?

He  got off a ferry bound for Koh Tao  in Surat  Thani to buy some cigarettes but never came back .

Who are you referring to then?

 

The story was on here, not long after the murders of David and Hannah (not that I'm trying to form any connection between the two cases).
