‘Half-Animal’ Woman Is Discovered After Spending 19 Years Alone in Cambodian Jungle
`A woman who disappeared in the jungles of northeastern Cambodia as a child has apparently been found after living in the wild for 19 years, police said Thursday.
The woman — believed to be Rochom P’ngieng, now 27 years old — cannot speak any intelligible language, so details of her saga have been difficult to confirm.
“She is like half-human and half-animal,” said Mao San, police chief of Oyadao district in Rattanakiri province. “She’s weird. She sleeps during the day and stays up at night.”‘
