Kirsty Jones dreamed of seeing the world. In May 2000 the 23 year old left her home in mid Wales and embarked on a global trip of a life time. After visiting Singapore and Malaysia, Kirsty travelled to Chiang Mai in the north of Thailand. Kirsty had been in the city less than a week when a maid found her murdered body in her bedroom at the backpackers guesthouse where she was staying.  DNA was found at the scene and several suspects were named in the press. The Royal Thai Police were confident the case would be solved within a week.  Then days later the maid who discovered Kirsty’s body came forward to change her story. It was the first of many shocking developments in a beleaguered investigation that continued for the next two decades.
