AI Scam Linked to Murder: Swapped Plates, Hidden Identities Uncovered

The segment begins by discussing the murder of Wichit, who was ambushed and shot over ten times. The initial focus is on the motive and the circumstances surrounding his death.

Details emerge about Wichit's final moments, including receiving a phone call before leaving on his motorcycle and being ambushed. His daughter expresses suspicion about the caller's identity.

The investigation introduces the possibility of an AI persona named 'Ploy' who may have been involved in a romance scam, potentially luring Wichit for money. A photo of 'Ploy' with Wichit is shown.

Fern, a woman connected to the case, is brought in for questioning. Her boyfriend, Sunthorn, is identified as the recipient of money transferred from Wichit.

A significant development occurs when the car driven by Sunthorn is found to have swapped license plates. The actual owner of the plates is identified as Sirivat.

Sirivat, the owner of the license plates, expresses shock and denies any knowledge of Sunthorn or the car. He confirms his car is registered to him and has not been involved in any incidents.

Evidence of traffic violations, including speeding tickets in Chumphon from 2023, are found associated with Sirivat's plates, further highlighting the license plate swap.

Sirivat and his father, Komol, file a police report regarding the swapped license plates to clear their names and cooperate with the investigation.

Komol explains the history of his son's car, purchased three years prior, and reiterates that it has always been legally registered and accounted for.

A detailed comparison is made between Sirivat's actual car and the car driven by Sunthorn, highlighting differences in color, logos, and minor body damage, despite having the same license plate.

Sirivat expresses his ongoing shock at the license plate swap and pledges full cooperation with the police investigation, emphasizing his car's legitimate status.

A neighbor, Tum, reveals that Fern was with Wichit on the day of his murder, working in his durian orchard and returning home with him, placing her at the scene.

Tum also mentions that Wichit left his home to deliver gasoline to an unknown person shortly before his death, adding another layer of mystery.

Wichit's damaged iPhone was recovered from his body. Authorities are attempting to recover data, though initial reports suggest it was not deliberately destroyed.

Another individual, Dam, comes forward claiming to have been scammed by an AI persona named 'B', introduced by Fern. Money was transferred to Sunthorn's account.

A diagram illustrates how both Wichit's and Dam's scam money ended up in Sunthorn's account, suggesting a coordinated effort possibly orchestrated by Fern.

Dam reveals that Fern introduced him to 'B' and also introduced 'Ploy' to Wichit, further implicating Fern in facilitating these AI scams.

Evidence emerges of Sunthorn's deep affection for Fern, including a significant financial contribution for her cosmetic surgery and a gift of cartilage from his ear.

Footage shows Fern seemingly evading reporters, adding to suspicions about her involvement and knowledge of the events.

It is revealed that Fern used a false name, 'Fern', while interacting with Wichit and his family, her real name being 'Praew'. This deception is seen as a significant red flag.

A money transfer slip shows Sunthorn paying for Fern's cosmetic surgery, further solidifying their financial connection and potentially revealing a motive.

Images and videos depict Fern and Sunthorn in affectionate moments, showcasing their relationship, which is presented as a potential motive for Sunthorn's actions.

Police state that Fern and Sunthorn are currently considered innocent until proven guilty, pending further investigation and any potential complaints filed by victims.
