Bangkok: Tangmo's mother and Ajarn Panthep have taken a significant step in the ongoing investigation of Tangmo Pattaratida Patcharaveerapong's case by submitting additional case files to the Department of Special Investigation (DSI). The submission included five boxes of documents, and the DSI aims to conclude the case by the end of October. Despite the passage of time, Tangmo's mother expressed that she still misses her daughter daily and believes she is in heaven.
According to Thai News Agency, Panathep Puaphongphan, Dean of the Institute of Integrative Medicine and Anti-Aging Medicine at Rangsit University, alongside Panida Sirayutthayothin, Tangmo's mother, delivered the substantial evidence to the DSI. The documents, acquired from court records, were handed over to Pol. Lt. Col. Nattaphon Disayatham, head of the case investigation team.
Pol. Lt. Col. Natthaphon stated that the investigation is nearing completion, with 90% of the case files ready. The focus now is on examining four crucial photographic pieces of evidence submitted by witnesses, the public, and Tangmo's mother. These images are currently under review by the Institute of Forensic Science to ascertain their authenticity.
In addition to the photographic evidence, part of the data from Tangmo's phone has been retrieved. The forensic team is re-evaluating the evidence in line with testimonies from 52 witnesses previously interviewed. Further investigation is needed to pinpoint the phone's location during the incident.
The submitted documentary evidence will undergo thorough analysis, and a field visit is scheduled for early October to consolidate all findings. This step is crucial to verify the accuracy of the information and its consistency with witness statements. The investigation team expects to wrap up the case by October's end.
Marking Tangmo's birthday on September 13th, her mother commemorated the day by making merit in her memory, a tradition she upholds annually. Despite not having visited her daughter in over three years, she firmly believes Tangmo is at peace in heaven and has no lingering doubts about the case, although she remains unforgiving.
Dr. Panthep emphasized the significance of the newly submitted documents, asserting that they represent the most exhaustive collection of evidence gathered. He highlighted the meticulous effort invested in organizing and supplementing the documents before proceeding with the appeal for an extension and additional evidence.
