Cambodia's 'jungle woman,' who spent 18 years living in a dense forest, has fled back to the wild after struggling to adapt to society.
***
Rochom first disappeared in 1989 while herding water buffalo with her sister in the province of Ratanakkiri, 400 miles north-east of Phnom Penh.
***
Neighbours and local authorities are helping the family with the search, but the jungles of Ratanakkiri are among Cambodia's wildest and most isolated.

Upon reading it I was like, "wow, this might be like all those comics and stories with the hot jungle chicks running around scantily clad".

Then I saw the picture, and I was sad.

However, Mr Lou refused a DNA test. A Cambodian non-governmental organisation believes that it is impossible that a girl of eight could survive in the jungle and that she was actually brought up in captivity.


It does make one wonder about this theory --- it could be she and her sister were held captive for all these years.
What a sad, sad story.
