There are so many stories out there, non of which can be established as accurate; and so many theories stemming from the stories and overall lack of established facts, it will take some sharp minds and good police work to unravel it all.

knowing the Thais highly developed skills in stalling, bullshitting and obscuring everything they don't want made public....we'll have to wait and see how it goes.
Well-described. And what do we call this kind of situation in more developed countries ? A complete debacle, perhaps ?

Possibly though, it may have been a Columbo-like clever ruse to throw the perpetrators into confusion as to how close the BIB were getting.
Cunning devils, these orientals.
