PHNOM PENH, Cambodia - A woman who disappeared in the jungles of northeastern Cambodia as a child has apparently been found after living in the wild for 19 years, police said Thursday. The woman - believed to be Rochom P'ngieng, now 27 years old - cannot speak any intelligible language, so details of her saga have been difficult to confirm. "She is like half-human and half-animal," said Mao San, police chief of Oyadao district in Rattanakiri province. "She's weird. She sleeps during the day and stays up at night." The father of Rochom P'ngieng, a member of the Pnong ethnic minority, said he recognized his daughter by a scar on her back and her facial features, according to Mao San. The father is a village policeman named Sal Lou. |
Very interesting situation. I think with time she can become "normalized" back into society. She obviously was intelligent enough to survive in the wild alone from the time she was 8 years old! So I think she'll adapt to her new circumstances, eventually.
I can already hear the booksellers and TV mini-series producers crying for the story!
