'Forest boy' mystery: Stumped German police release photo

I'm skeptical, though I guess the cops haven't been able to shoot holes in his story yet after 9 months, so maybe it is true. I doubt it though.

'Forest boy' mystery: Stumped German police release photo

By Andy Eckardt, NBC News

MAINZ, Germany -- Berlin police on Wednesday released a photograph of the so-called "forest boy," an English-speaking youth who wandered into the German capital nine months ago saying he had lived in the woods for five years with his father.

Investigators have failed to identify him and police are now hoping the image will prompt leads from the public.

The boy has told authorities his father called him "Ray" and that he was born June 20, 1994. However, he claims not to know his last name or where he's from.

"We have checked his DNA against all missing person reports, sent the data to Interpol so that they could check it internationally, but unfortunately without any success," police spokesman Thomas Neuendorf said.

Investigators told NBC News that DNA evidence suggests Ray is most likely from a neighboring country, as opposed to the United States. Authorities also believe that English might not be his native language.

The boy was unable or refused to give his family name or any other biographical information when he showed up at the German capital's City Hall on September 5.

Take him back to the forest, lets see how he survives.

He was identified as a Dutch who disappeared just days before he turned up in Germany. As he is an adult, he might be prosecuted for social security fraud now.

Poor man, obviously something is not right there.

What do you expect of the Dutch, Europe's Lettows.

I think you are thinking of the Flems.

German police were having doubts English was his native language after 9 months?
People from his hometown can barely speak at all. Oh, wait...

Take him back to the forest, lets see how he survives.

I still stand by my recommendation.
