A woman in Cambodia walked out of the jungle a week ago, making odd grunting noises and walking like a monkey. From a scar on her arm, one family has claimed her as its own, saying she ran away 19 years ago. But skeptics abound, and her inability to speak is no help in solving the mystery.
AP:
She was captured, naked, on Jan. 13 after a villager caught her taking food from a lunch box he left at a site near his farm, said local police.
Village policeman Sal Lou described his first glimpse of the woman: “She was naked and walking in a bending-forward position like a monkey, exactly like a monkey. She was bare-bones skinny.”
Her eyes were red like a tiger’s, he said, and he felt fear.
But he checked her right arm. There he found a scar, just as his daughter had from an accident with a knife before she disappeared.
“She looked terrible, but despite all of that, she is my child,” he said.
Objective evidence for the relationship, beyond a certain physical resemblance, is thin. But Sal Lou is not the only family member claiming Rochom P’ngien has returned at last.

I can’t believe the insentivity of the people who have written the previous postings. What if it had been your child who had disappeared? Bet you wouldn’t appreciate those very inappropriate comments.

I think she has a bright future ahead. Her bone-thin physique and exotic appearance will serve her well as a runway model on the European fashon circuit. They can just throw some Versace animal skins on her and let her monkey-crawl down the catwalk.

“She spends her days sitting or lying on the floor, sleeping or staring glassy-eyed at the scores of visitors who come to gawk at her in the dirty, ramshackle house she now shares with 12 other people.”
Its depression, she was in an intense relationship with Tarzan “king of the Jungle,” and he found a newer and younger Jane—-the poor thing was not even left with clothes on her
Report thisback—-she didn’t even have lunch money-—and so we see, that even in the wilds of a Cambodian jungle, women are economically screwed, when their mate dumps them for someone younger.

In the White House there’s a lot of human beings who’re looked exactly like this lady. They also make odd grunting noises and walk around like a monkey. That’s not unusual story.
