The teenager says his first name is Ray but doesn't know his last, and doesn't know where he came from, The Guardian reported Friday. He told authorities his father, who he said went by the name Ryan, died about two weeks ago and he buried him before leaving the forest where they had been living.

"He speaks fluent English and very broken German," Berlin police spokesman Michael Maass told the British newspaper. "He doesn't show any signs of abuse and he is in good shape physically and psychologically." Authorities had not been able to figure out what country he might be from based on his accent. The mystery youth also said his mother, Doreen, had died years earlier and that is when he and father moved into the woods. "We have nothing more to go on than what he told us. We don't have any other clues as to his identity," Maass said. Advertisement
