Naked woman baffles authorites

[emad]

Hong Kong - Police in Hong Kong on Wednesday appealed for help in identifying a naked expatriate woman who has not said a word since being found sitting on the shore of the city's Victoria Harbour.

The woman, believed to be in her late 30s or early 40s, was found naked on the edge of the runway of the city's idle Kai Tak airport on Friday with no possessions or identity papers.

Police officers have tried speaking to her in English, French and the languages of India and Pakistan but she has not responded to any questions, a police spokesperson said.

She was given a pen but would not write anything and also stared blankly at a sign-language expert who was drafted by police to try to communicate with her.

1. She needs a physician...

If something traumatic happened to her, she needs medical assistance. She's most likely in shock.

2. Princes Caraboo syndrome?

Every time I read one of these stories, it turns out to be a scam, perpetrated by a con artist.

A few weeks ago, it was the Brit piano playing guy.

3. "psychogenic fugue" I believe it is called...

I imagine she's a victim of some trauma.

The age seems about right for the onset.

Typically in the mid-thirties.

5. Can she play the piano unusually well?

Sounds like she is in shock... from falling out of the landing gear.

6. Naked did you say?

I believe she is my long lost soul mate.

7. If the cops can't figure out a naked woman

it is time the Chief discussed the "birds and bees" with them
