Boy From the Woods

New Posts

If he speaks very good English I wonder if the father was US Army enlisted or dependent. If so searching USA data base for missing children would yield something.
 
I an trying to work out which woods, forested area is south of Berlin and dense enough to be able to walk for days and not leave, to live in undiscovered???

I don't think that this can be an actual photograph, it looks more like a computer generated image but that might just be me...

I am so frustrated at the lack of a proper missing persons and UID database accessible to the public, we just don't seem to be trusted with such information.
The US are way ahead of us when it comes to this

I think that the hair and body are actually a photo, on one of the sources above it was like this with the facial features digitized to make them blurry. Then I believe someone took that photo and put in a computer generated face, you can tell it's quite unbalanced. But Belimom right about a good haircut, unless those caring for him had it cut, which is very possible.
 
From the Telegraph
The boy is unable to tell them exactly where he buried his father only that he “followed his compass northwards” and walked to Berlin as his father had instructed him to do in the case of an emergency.
From his scant description, police believe he could have been living within the Bayerischer national park, parts of which stretch into the Czech Republic, or the Erzgebirge region, both of which are south of Berlin.
He arrived at City Hall wearing winter clothes and carrying a knapsack containing a tent, sleeping bag and some survival tools, including a compass.

This one because the mother took him, probably dyed her hair and suspected to be in Russia. Now suppose this is her, she hooked up with another man. The mother would have changed his name to raymond, ray, rayburn something like that. There is no age progression with this picture however, looking at the square jaw and a hint of the center upper lip along with eyebrows peeked my interest.

Just throwing out possibilities.

I also wondered if the father could be a deserter from the US or British forces
 
What season is it over there?
Wondering why he is not more tanned?

Also wondering how they dealt with the brutal winters, clothing etc...

Very curious case here.
 
I lived in Germany and to me the winters were a wet cold. I would guesstimate it being equivalent to the winters here in VA. Rainy, wet, and cold.

Mostly the highs were in the low 40's but did get in the 20's too.

This was of course Frankfurt area however I did go to Garmish a ski resort town and it wasn't a dry cold there either.

If you are under the tree line not much sun is my guess. His hair has more of a reddish tint to it and his roots are darker.

The teenager arrived in the capital on September 5 carrying only a tent, sleeping bag and rucksack. He claimed he could not remember anything of his life before he entered the forest but was able to tell officers his date of birth. Despite being dishevelled, he was described as ‘healthy’ and showed no signs of malnourishment or abuse.
Police have issued a European-wide appeal in the hope somebody will identify him.
They have released a photo of the teenager, but his blue eyes have been obscured under German laws which prevent the identification of children without consent of a parent or guardian.

POLICE in Berlin were last night still trying to identify an English-speaking *teenager who says he lived in woods for five years.

British Consulate staff were called in to help and the results of missing person reports were expected to be made clear today.

The boy, thought to be 17 or 18, does not remember where his family came from and says he only left the German woods when his dad died, leaving him alone.


Interpol last night released a photo of the youngster, with his eyes hidden to protect his identity.

It is not clear if he is *British. Claudia Elitok, of Berlin Police, said: “He *remembers his name but we are not releasing it.”

It's getting more and more mysterious. So he remembers his date of birth and his name? :waitasec:
 
"We don't know what the right story is about him. It's not normal. We were astonished that he was well and with a good constitution after living in the forest for five years."

Police have not ruled out that the boy might be suffering from some sort of mental trauma.

Mr Otter added: "We don't know if he speaks in an English accent. He is not a native speaker, but perhaps he learnt English from his father. It's not clear."

The Foreign Office was only made aware of the situation on Friday and officials have not yet established whether he is British.

"We are aware of the reports and we are looking into it," said a Foreign Office spokesman.

Adding to the problems of the German police is the distance Ray may have walked in two weeks. This would put him within range of the forests of Nationalpark Bayerischer, south of Berlin, parts of which extend into the Czech Republic. Alternatively, he could be referring to the Naturpark Erzgebirge, which is also south of Berlin.

Badhorsie probably knows better, but I think they had an unseasonably warm winter last winter in Germany.

If he was in the deep woods I would guess the sun wouldn't have been a problem. Then again I'm no ace camper.

I do know though some of them mountains are ice cold so ice cold in winter you can't use the bathroom on a bus.

Seems like he's been found and reunited with his father... Not sure why he's still listed as missing?
