Despite saying there had been a lot of progress in the investigation, Prawit said on Saturday that authorities had no idea who helped her escape. “I’m convinced it [the help] was involved with people inside the country, but do not know if people outside lent her a hand or not,” he said. Prawit said the government would make an official explanation of her flight after the investigation by police had clear information. Authorities on Friday made the first official confirmation that Yingluck was last seen in a sedan filmed by CCTV at a military checkpoint in Sa Kaew, a border province to Cambodia, on August 23. However, the CCTV footage could not track the vehicle’s movement any further, hence there was no evidence to suggest that it had crossed the border into Cambodia.
