On This Day in Weird, January 13...
2007: The so-called "Cambodian jungle girl"—in fact
an adult human female—emerges from the jungle of Ratanakiri Province, in
northeastern Cambodia. A family from a nearby village claims the woman is their
daughter Rochom P'ngieng, born in 1979 and missing from home since approximately
1989. Police schedule DNA testing, but the family withdraws consent. For
reasons unclear, news media report the incident as discovery of a feral child.
Spokesmen for the Cambodian League for the Promotion and Defense of Human
Rights suggest the woman "is a victim of some kind of torture, maybe
sexual or physical."
