Thai police, volunteers, and officials initiated an extensive search for an 8-month-old baby missing for a week in Nakhon Pathom Province.
Previous searches, including waterways and drone operations, yielded no clues; forensics re-examined the parents' house, finding a small blood stain on the baby's pillow.
Police suspect the parents' involvement, possibly selling or giving away the child, despite the mother's claim of a kidnapping.
Investigators discovered deleted Line Chat messages on the mother's smartphone and are scrutinizing the couple's bank accounts for suspicious transactions.
A villager reported seeing a man in a yellow shirt driving a pickup truck leave the village on the day the baby disappeared.
