Well that didn't take very long: Police in Berlin have solved the
mystery of the so-called "Forest Boy" just days after releasing
a photo of his face to the public.
The "boy" is actually a 20-year-old
man from the Netherlands who went missing just days before he
showed up in Berlin. Though he went by "Ray" since emerging out of the
woods nine months ago, his real name is Robin van Helsum, and he hails
from the town of Hengelo.
"We are 100 percent certain that he is
this 20-year-old boy, because his stepmother positively identified him,"
a Dutch police spokeswoman said. A photo of Van Helsum wearing a chain
with his name on it was his undoing.

I'm thinking of running through the woods calling myself rapunzel, so I can be taken in by some rich swank with a tower :D
