I found this to be an interesting story.

I'm wondreing what members believe has happened to this young girl. Sure it would only be speculation but if you put down your thoughts, we may get an answer to this mystery quite soon.

Might be interesting to see if anyone can come up with the correct answer.

I hope all turns out well for her.

Interesting story. I wonder if anyone will recognise her and claim her, or if she went through something so traumatic that she truley lost her memory.

Some interesting points from the article:

...claiming to have no memory of her family, her home -- or even her own name.

described by New York ACS as "very soft-spoken," is 5 feet, 6 inches tall, light-skinned, with short, straight, cropped blond hair and blue eyes. Doctors are estimating her age to be between 14 and 17.

The NYPD said she was wearing military green camouflage pants, a black shirt and a pair of black sneakerswhen she was discovered.

On another occasion, she is said to have recalled certain words, which turned out to be an excerpt from the fantasy novel "Fool's Fate" by Robin Hobb.

Let's start with that last part. Turns out that "Fool's Fate" is the 3rd book in a trilogy called the "Assassin Trilogy". This girl memorized an excerpt from the book, but can't even remember her own name.

Secondly, her attire and grooming. She's got short cropped hair, military green camo pants, black shirt, black pants. So she was possibly wearing some type of uniform and had a military haircut. She's also a very impressionable (read: programmable) age 14-17.

Lastly, she has absolutely no memory of anything about her life or identity.

Except she recalled a passage from a book in an Assassin Trilogy. And that's all she remembered.

Keep all that in mind, when you learn from the article:

The girl is also apparently writing a fantasy story of her own that features a heroine named Rian "who's been raised by the commander of the guard post on the edge of a fantasy kingdom," the young woman said.

So despite this girl having no memory of life, she's now writing her own "fantasy" story about a girl named "Rian" (probably her name and she doesn't know it?) who is raised by a commander of a guard post on the edge of a fantasy kingdom (secret base?).

Perhaps this "fantasy" is really her subconscious trying to tell her something about her past?

Personally, it sounds like this girl escaped some new form of MKULTRA training.

You can't read this story about this girl and not have some red flags go up.

Any other theories about what all these facts could mean?

Several years ago, maybe ten to twenty there was a simular case. I think in that case it was a youg boy. He got all kinds of money from people trying to help him get a place to live and help in recovering his memory etc.
But it turned out it was a scam and the young Boy turned out to be a girl in her twenties I think. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

who really knows till we get more info

Great posts Mr. Tuttle and others.

I was also intrigued by her memories based on fantasy novels or movies. The fact she is writing a book (at a young age mind you) brings my sceptic meter up a couple of notches.

I'm suprised an abduction theory hasn't been brought up yet. Be it "alien" or something more terrestrial.

It must be awful to lose one's memory. It would be terrific if we were able to selectively lose portions of our memories because there are a few things I'd like to forget!

My girlfriend in college told me that she was under a great deal of stress in high school, taking accelerated classes and went to a basketball game. The excitement of the game seemed to have been a trigger. She came home and went to bed. She woke up screaming as she could not remember who she was or where she was. She spent two years in a state mental hospital sorting it all out and putting the pieces back together.

This sort of thing is not all that uncommon.

We've seen this kind of con before. The authorities need to figure out her angle and charge her with the appropriate charges before she wastes anymore taxpayer money. She is either just seeking attention or is running some kind of scam on the welfare system (like that's hard to do)

freaking ATS is double posting me again. Sorry folks
