HALF ANIMAL WOMAN FOUND iN CAMBODIAN JUNGLE
I normally don't post news stories, but here I will make an exception:
'Half-animal' woman found in Cambodian jungle may be long-missing daughter, parents say
Quote:
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 and a man claiming to be her father said Thursday.
The woman — believed to be Rochom P'ngieng, who would now be 27 years old — cannot speak any intelligible language, so details of her saga have been difficult to confirm.
"When I saw her, she was naked and walking in a bending-forward position like a monkey ... She was bare-bones skinny," said Sal Lou, who says he is her father.
"She was shaking and picking up grains of rice from the ground to eat. Her eyes were red like tigers' eyes," Sal Lou, 45, told The Associated Press by telephone from Oyadao district in Rattanakiri province, where the woman was found last Saturday.
Rochom P'ngieng, then 8 years old, disappeared in 1988 when she was herding buffalo in a remote jungle area, said Chea Bunthoeun, a deputy provincial police chief. The province is about 325 kilometers (200 miles) northeast of Cambodia's capital Phnom Penh.
Mao San, police chief of Oyadao district, described the woman as "half-human and half-animal."
