TSUNAMI IN THAILAND: MISSING PERSON FROM KHAO LAK AND HER FAMILY HAVE NO NEWS AT ALL FROM HER - January 19, 2005

My son told me - as a sure thing - he saw her leaving the bungalow (probably injured with glass pieces in the abdomen) through the back door (facing the hill), while he was hanging by one hand from the roof wall (the roof was already detached from the house). He said the water level was around my wife's abdomen at that time for a short while. This happened most probably between the first and the second waves. Not sure, though.

With this material evidence, the corpses can be easily identified but nobody has shown up to claim them,'she said.

List of German's missing from Khao Lak - January 9, 2005

We also gave the full list to Khaosan Police Station in Banglampu, Bangkok as Khaosan Road is very popular with backpackers and many of those backpackers that survived the waves returned back to Bangkok's Khaosan Road.
