Unidentified Teen Appears
An English-speaking teen emerged in Berlin, claiming he had been living in a forest in Germany with his father for five years. He told workers at city hall, “I’m all alone in the world, I don’t know who I am. Please help me.” According to the teen, only known as Ray, he lived in the woods until his father died last month. He also claims that he does not remember anything of his early life. Authorities are saying the boy seems surprisingly normal and even mixed with other teens, aside from being a little quiet.
Quake Hits
A 6.9 magnitude earthquake struck India, Tibet, and Nepal last week, killing at least 99 people. Seventeen people who were working on a hydroelectric project were killed by landslides caused by the quake. Rescue efforts were hampered by heavy rains and mudslides that blocked roads leading to remote villages and regions. The military is currently searching for more victims.
