新加坡警方改变立场，开始请求 FBI 协助：
The FBI and the Singapore police, which had previously resisted any outside participation in the probe, both declined to comment.
In a further development on Friday, the Todd family met senior FBI officials at the agency’s Washington headquarters and also a state department official.
The Todd family also separately met Frank Wolf, a Republican congressman from Virginia, and also Senator Max Baucus, a Montana Democrat who has raised the case with the White House.
Mr Todd headed a team at the Institute of Microelectronics (IME), a Singapore government research agency, that was working on the development of gallium nitride, a substance that has both commercial and military uses. Mr Todd was found hanged in his apartment in June, two days after leaving his job at IME. The Todd family has been pressing for further investigation into the death of their son, who had plans to return to the US.
The US embassy told the family, which had been lobbying for FBI involvement in the investigation, that the agency could only conduct an investigation in another country with permission from the relevant foreign government.
When the Todds met with Washington’s Singapore ambassador in December, he told them local police had rejected two FBI offers to assist in the case.
In January, the Singapore police asked the Todds to turn over an external computer hard drive they had found in their son’s apartment. The family said they would only do so if Singapore requested FBI assistance. The Singaporean government refused to do so at the time. The Todds declined to say on Friday if they will now turn over the hard drive.
According to a computer forensic expert who examined the hard drive for the Todds, someone accessed it three days after Shane’s death, looked at files related to his work at IME and tried to delete one of them.
The hard drive contained details of a research project by IME and Huawei, the Chinese telecommunications giant, to co-develop a device powered by gallium nitride.
Gallium nitride is a semiconductor material that can withstand extreme heat. Huawei has said its discussed a venture with IME but did not proceed with the project.
