Since June 2012, the then 31 year-old Chettana Taprap has been missing. The native of Thailand did not return after a beach walk in Croatia according to her partner. The Ingolstadt criminal investigation department is asking for pertinent leads in this case of a missing person. Who has seen the approximately 4ft9 petite woman after her departure from Ingolstadt? The family was initially on the road with a green Volkswagen bus camper with a trailer and then with a red Mercedes Vito to which the trailer was likewise attached.
Since the start of her vacation and her departure from Ingolstadt, 31 year-old Chettana Taprap has been missing. Along with her partner and two children (two and five years old), the family set off for Croatia in a Volkswagen bus camper with a trailer on Monday June 4th, 2012 just before midnight. The destination of the journey was an apartment on the island of Rab. Due to technical problems with the vehicle, the family initially stayed in Austria. The father contacted a Volkswagen branch in Radstadt and took up residence for four days, that is to say until June 9th 2012, in Flachau. With a rented vehicle, a Mercedes Vito, the family continued its journey bringing along the trailer over the Tauern motorway across Slovenia onward to Croatia. In the early morning hours of June 10th, 2012, the lodging on the Island of Rab in the village of Lopar was reached. In the evening hours of June 10th, 2012, her 34 year-old partner filed a missing persons report. He roughly stated that his partner had not returned from a beach walk. On June 13th, 2012, her father filed an additional missing persons report with the police in Ingolstadt. Since then, there have been no clues to the whereabouts of the 31 year-old Thai woman.

Here’s another article that contains some key details in the case: "Wo ist meine Tochter geblieben?"
- Chettana had a restraining order against the father of her children after he assaulted her on numerous occasions
- Her husband has been considered a suspect from the onset
- No witnesses have ever come forward claiming to have seen Chettana in Austria
- Chettana’s two daughters reported that their mom was very sick, wasn’t moving, talking or eating during the trip
- The father drove around 430km with the defective Volkswagen, often in remote areas
- Although Chettana is presumed to have vanished in Croatia, security cameras showed that the passenger seat was empty upon arrival in Croatia and none of the other guests at the hotel remember seeing her there
- Her husband tried to quickly free Croatia after reporting her missing and was apprehended by the authorities, but was ultimately released due to a lack of evidence
