A youth who turned up in Berlin last year saying he had been staying in woods for years is a Dutch 20-year-old who was living in the Netherlands until last September, German police say.
They say his Dutch stepmother identified him from police photos. His real name is said to be Robin.
He called himself "Ray" and was dubbed the "forest boy" by German media.
He had said he and his father had lived in the woods for five years, following the death of his mother in a car crash.
"Ray" told police he had left the forest after his father died and he had buried the body.
But officers failed to locate the remains and said they had doubts about the story.

I can't understand the following sentence.
He had said he and his father had lived in the woods for five years, following the death of his mother in a car crash.
It should be one of the following:
He said he and his father had lived in the woods for five years, following the death of his mother in a car crash.
He had said he and his father lived in the woods for five years, following the death of his mother in a car crash.
I am not sure.
