German police seek help over mystery 'forest boy'

BBC said:
Berlin police have appealed for information to help them establish the identity of a teenager who appeared in the city saying that he had been living in the woods for five years.

The teenager is about 17, and speaks English and a little German.

He told the police that he and his father went to live in the woods after his mother died.

He said he left the woods in August when his father died, and walked for two weeks before reaching Berlin.

He said he couldn't remember where his family came from, but that his name was Ray.
How can you walk for 2 weeks in Germany and find nothing until you find the oasis that is Berlin?

Germany isn't that sparsely populated is it? 25 miles a day? 14 days? You'd be in Hungary wouldn't you?!
