Conflicting theories about Yingluck escape after video of police pickup

BANGKOK: -- Security officers are now focusing on two vehicles that were seen entering and exiting former premier Yingluck Shinawatra’s residence on the day she disappeared, while another theory about the escape focuses on a police pickup.

A security source told Nation TV’s La Kwam Jing news team that a Toyota Vios and a Toyota Camry had been seen driving out of her residence at about 8pm on August 23, before returning at about 10am the following day.

 

However, there are conflicting theories about the escape, with some people focusing on the two Toyotas while others have said the most interesting vehicle was a police pickup that was seen leaving the house at about 9pm. 

 

Officers said they believed Yingluck had used one of the vehicles to escape before the reading of her court verdict last Friday, as the time lapse was equivalent to the time it would take to travel to the ThaiCambodian border, according to the source.

 

When the news team checked on previous reports of her assets held by the National AntiCorruption Commission (NACC) in 2015, it found that a Toyota Vios was reported along with eight European cars. 

 

The two cars in question would have helped her elude officers’ who were watchฌing her as she usually rode in a van, the source said.

 

Isra News Agency yesterday also released a clip showing several vehicles entering and exiting the residence, includฌing a police pickup truck on August 23, suggesting her mode of escape. 

 

She was last seen on the morning of August 23 giving alms to monks and visitฌing a hotel with her entourage.

The news agency reported that Yingluck returned home on August 23 at around 2pm. About 20 trips were recorded of vehicles entering and exiting the house, including a Toyota Fortuner, a Honda Civic, an Isuzu pickup and a Nissan March. The report said the Fortuner belonged to Pinthongta Shinawatra, daughter of Yingluck’s brother Thaksin Shinawatra.

 

It is believed that Yingluck escaped on August 23 as no one has reported seeing her the following day. 

 

National police chief Chakthip Chaijinda refused to comment on the report, saying he had already assigned his deputy, Pol General Srivara Rangsibhramanakul, to handle the case.

 

Meanwhile, top officials, including Prime Minister Prayut Chanocha, were silent on the issue and the Foreign Ministry said it was still in the dark regarding Yingluck’s whereabouts.

 

Foreign MinistryForeign Minister Don Pramudwinai said her location was still a mystery. He added that when Thai authorities know Yingluck’s location, they will ask for cooperation from the country where she is located. “However, as of now, we don’t know,” Don told reporters. 

 

He added that the ministry had already contacted countries that Yingluck was reported to have fled to. There have been many unconfirmed reports prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, has been in selfimposed exile for years. Another possibility is the United Kingdom, where she reportedly plans to seek asylum.

Trust the RTP to be so brazen sending a marked van there for such a job as this. Absolute muppets ??

[Raymonddiaz]

Secret can't be kept long in Thailand. We are going to know what happened very rapidly. Thai people can't keep their mouths shut.

[ezzra]

Assuming ( and knowing ) that in Thailand everything is possible,

it's possible that she had the green light from higher up to flee,

it's possible that this was plan B all alone and just in case,

and it's conceivable that some people very high up doesn't want to see

a PM and a woman in lengthy prison term, lose of face and that Thai

pride, who knows? definitely there's a lot more than what meet the eye...

Perhaps they assumed, and who can blame them, that the video-camera would not be in working-order ?

[Mondeo]

Where is the video?

[scorecard]

Seems to me that it would be easy enough, with lots of time, to develop ideas and a final clever escape plan A and Plan B, to get her out of Thailand unnoticed. Plus she has lots of resources available to her, including lots of cash and knowledgeable people.

 

Then it depends on how well those involved (she had to have help to drive vehicles and more) keep their silence, accidentally let some info slip or get nervous and spill the beans

"The two cars in question would have helped her elude officers’ who were watching her as she usually rode in a van, the source said."

 

"Hey, PC Somchai. Watch this house. Don't worry about any cars that come in or go out, but let us know if you see a van."

 

You couldn't make this up. Keystone Cops, Thai style. What a bunch of plonkers.

Sounds like more than one vehicle to follow exhausted and confused the tails

They can when you pay them enough

[steven100]

where the hell is she   !  .....  so many damn cars coming and going how the heck can anyone keep track of her.   She's done a bloody runner for sure  !! 

 

[sfbandung]

Very smart move to let her go. If they put her in prison she would have become a martyr for the red shirts. All the drama would start again.

[elgenon]

Better to try to do something after the fact than deny her human rights by watching her closely. Still I think the best case scenario for the generalissimo. When he leaves office and YL's sister is PM maybe she will let him leave.

[SOUTHERNSTAR]

Yawn before the coup an agreement was reached. According to this agreement she would be prosecuted but would never go to jail. They will only take her cash and not all her assets. The junta gets to show how bad the politicians are. The Shins gets to show how bad the junta is. Everyone wins and smile wink wink. This agreement was exposed in a regional newspaper. 

[ThaiWai]

Is this gonna be a story every day?  She's gone.  She's not coming back.  People helped her.  Next?

[bheard]

They'd like to find her. But it's similar to the search to seize her assets. "Don't know where to start".

So, she could have simply got on a motorbike taxi then. Idiots

You should be a detective as you have a natural talent there!  

[anon467367354]

is anybody really surprised that she was able to escape, probably with the help of those that are supposed to be preventing her escape? As long as there are no consequences for illegal acts committed by the police, the 3rd world banana republic image will go on. Corruption is allowed here, plain and simple, and for some reason there are no apparent steps being taken to curb it. No surprises here, just living the Amazing Thailand dream.

Yes there probably were several vehicles well known to be used for her transport. Now enter a vehicle never seen before in her compound which appears to be delivering bottles of water or whatever and with space to cover her and be unnoticed and with dark tint windows, and with number plates that can be electronically flipped to another number, slip her out to a dark corner of a secluded car park never used before in her transport arrangements and into another car / van with very dark windows and across the border in an isolated place with no immigration office and quickly into the waiting pvt jet which landed 5 minutes earlier and takes off immediately she's on board, ignoring the air movement regulations etc., until it reaches the controlled air space of another country, then fulfill all the air traffic requirements. And already mentioned she has several passports if she needs to change to a regular commercial flight. 

 

Little doubt something like this is well possible and with clever planning could be executed.

[LannaGuy]

...........News Flash.........

 

A photo has just emerged of a suspicious van leaving Yingluck's house.

 

Police have yet to confirm if they are investigating the van as the Police Commander commented

 

"at first we were suspicious but then realised it was the wrong colour"

[steelepulse]

Unbelievable that she would have taken an alternate vehicle instead of her trusty van.  Not even Sherlock Holmes would have thought to check any other vehicle leaving the compound two days before a verdict was due.

[lvr181]

"Another possibility is the United Kingdom, where she reportedly plans to seek asylum."  "...when Thai authorities know Yingluck’s location, they will ask for cooperation from the country where she is located." 

Yeah, sure. From what I read on this forum, from time to time, the UK seems hard put to provide any assistance to its own passport holders in Thailand, let alone Yingluck with all her money.

 

"The two cars in question would have helped her elude officers’ who were watchฌing (sic) her as she usually rode in a van, the source said." And the RTP picked their brightest (keystone cops) to keep track of her? Sure sounds like it. 

 

I know that sometimes the RTP and Military may actually do things right but all too often they just could not organise a party in a brewery either. And no-one is held accountable or responsible for stuff ups! TIT

[alant]

Has she fled? Is there the  chance she may have been abducted?
