Elise Dallemagne: Suspicious Koh Tao Death in Thailand, A Daughter Coming Home

Elise Dallemagne crossed oceans, studied healing, followed spiritual roads, and kept one thread tied to home.On April 17, 2017, her mother heard what every parent wants to hear after a long journey: Elise was coming back. Two days later, she stepped off a ferry on Koh Tao, Thailand, and the road home disappeared.In this episode of Shadows of Siam, we follow the death of a 30-year-old Belgian traveler found in the jungle above Tanote Bay in late April 2017. Thai authorities ruled her death a suicide. Her mother, Michèle van Egten, disputed that conclusion and questioned the ferry route, luggage to Chumphon, bungalow fire, changed name, disputed CCTV image, and investigation transparency.This is a careful Thailand true crime story about Koh Tao, family doubt, public suspicion, mental health concerns, online theory, and an official ruling her mother never trusted.Listener discretion: suicide, possible mental health concerns, decomposition, disputed death investigation, and investigative mishandling allegations.Music: Yoza, “Broken Wings.”Sources:Koh Tao death - https://www.bangkokpost.com/topics/1280278/koh-tao-deathKoh Tao Cops Investigate ‘Suicide’ of Belgian Tourist - https://www.khaosodenglish.com/news/crimecourtscalamity/2017/06/30/koh-tao-cops-investigate-suicide-belgian-tourist/Guru Linked to Belgian Tourist on Koh Tao Left Country - https://www.khaosodenglish.com/featured/2017/07/03/guru-linked-koh-taos-dead-belgian-tourist-left-country-police/New details emerge in case of Elise Dallemagne, Belgian woman found dead on Koh Tao - https://coconuts.co/bangkok/news/new-details-emerge-case-elise-dallemagne-belgian-woman-found-dead-koh-tao/Belgierin tot auf Koh Tao - https://der-farang.com/de/dossiers/belgierin-tot-auf-koh-taoTourist who died on Death Island Koh Tao was part of a 'cult' - https://www.news.com.au/travel/travel-updates/incidents/tourist-found-half-eaten-by-lizard-on-thai-island-was-member-of-a-cult/news-story/19ef6584a1d35a7d97178e20cc4a577dElise Dallemagne: Thai police release final image of Belgian backpacker - https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/asia/elise-dallemagne-latest-updates-thailand-koh-tao-police-cctv-image-belgium-backpacker-dead-murder-eaten-lizards-a7830596.htmlThe Mother of a Belgian Tourist who Died on a Thai Island Has Accused Local Police of a Cover Up - https://time.com/4840792/belgian-backpacker-death-koh-tao-dallemange/Koh Tao’s dark side: dangers of island where Britons were murdered - https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2014/nov/23/briton-thailand-murder-hannah-witheridge-david-miller-mystery-mafia-fear#EliseDallemagne #KohTao #ThailandTrueCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #ShadowsOfSiam
