"We don't know what the US government will do. We've got so much evidence backing up what we have claimed that our son was involved with. I think they'd rather have us go away. But we're not going away," she said.
The family says that before he died, Shane Todd feared he was being made to compromise US national security in a secret project involving a Singapore institute and a Chinese telecom firm accused of international espionage.
The Todds stormed out of a Singapore coroner's inquest on Tuesday, saying they had lost faith in the process, after a succession of witnesses gave evidence that he hanged himself in his apartment.
Their case was further undermined on Wednesday when two senior US medical examiners backed Singapore's suicide report and rejected a murder scenario put forward by another American pathologist who had been engaged by the Todds.
Asked if the campaign will include pressing for a US congressional investigation, Mary Todd said "yes".
"We have another pathologist in Thailand who said she believes he was strangled and then hung on the door. And that's what we believe."
The head of the Todds' Singaporean legal team, Gloria James-Civetta, said the mother was referring to Porntip Rojanasunan, a flamboyant Thai pathologist involved in a number of high-profile cases.
Porntip told AFP in Bangkok that a Todd family lawyer had approached her and showed her some photos, but it was not an "official consultation".
Asked whether she had said it was a strangling, she said: "I did not make such a comment, I said there are suspicious points that need to be explained and answered."
