Out of the Woodwork

This will sound like a story straight out of Jungle Book but it may turn out to be the honest to goodness truth. Police spokesman Thomas Neuendorf told officials that he has ran the DNA of a young man who claims to have been raised in the wilderness by his father for the last 5 years against all missing persons and even went so far as to forward the intel to Interpol.

According to reports, "The boy has told authorities his father called him "Ray" and that he was born June 20, 1994, but claims not to know his last name or where he's from. He said his mother, Doreen, died in a car accident when he was 12 and after that he and his father, Ryan, took to the forest. He said they wandered using maps and a compass, staying in tents or caves overnight. He told authorities that after his father died in August, 2011, he buried him in the forest and then walked five days north before ending up in Berlin, and showed up at city hall."

"Ray", as he is known, is characterized as being 5-foot-11-inches in height and between the ages of 16 and 20.  Neuendorf said, "Ray does not speak English with a particular accent, leading investigators to believe that he is not a native speaker."  There is no real clue as to where the boy might have came from. 

Authorities have been unable to confirm or deny any of Ray's reports or locate the body of his father and find evidence of a tragic car accident.  But they hope that by releasing the photograph of the young man might spark someone's memory.
