Family Seeks Answers in Disappearance Linked to Chonburi Crime Scene
A man has sought police assistance in locating his missing sister, citing concerns over her proximity to a recent high-profile murder case in Chonburi.
On August 4, 2026, a man accompanied by activist 'Gun Jompalang' filed a report at the Bang Lamung Police Station in Chonburi province regarding the disappearance of his 35-year-old sister, Ms. Bulan Salajanes. The family reported that Ms. Bulan, who frequently lived in the Pattaya area and maintained contact with her family and a foreign partner, has been unreachable for an unusually long period.
The request for police intervention was prompted by recent news reports concerning a suspect identified as 'Pong,' who is accused of murdering and burying five victims. The family noted that the location where the bodies were discovered is near areas where Ms. Bulan previously resided and frequented, specifically in Pattaya and the Khao Chi Chan vicinity. Consequently, the family has requested that authorities investigate whether her disappearance is linked to this ongoing criminal case.
For residents and visitors, this development highlights an active police investigation in the Bang Lamung and Pattaya regions. While the family is concerned about a potential connection to the recent serial murder case, it remains to be confirmed by investigators whether Ms. Bulan’s disappearance is related to the activities of the suspect in custody. Police Superintendent Pol. Col. Sarawut Nuchnart has received the information, and the investigation into her whereabouts is currently ongoing.
