After all search efforts failed, Ronchom's father is Mr Sal Lou and her family gave up. They thought that she died or was killed.

However, in January 2007, Rochom was found by Chea Bunthoeun, who was her family's neighbor. Chea Bunthoeun saw a girl in the jungle who was clambering along on all fours and foraging for food. He staked out the area, spotted the woman, gathered some villagers and caught her.

After hearing about the incident, Sal Lou came to see the wild girl. He claimed that the girl was his long-lost daughter because he identified Rochom based on a scar on her arm. Ronchom didn't remember anything. She even couldn't speak Cambodian, couldn't walk like human. She refused to wear clothes and used her hands when she ate.
