"Hello, this is reporter Jane Casidy. And I'm live at the Siskiyou Mountains where there are reports of a wild child that campers have named Catori which means Spirit. They have also named the mother lion Wichahpi which means Star. They say that Catori, Wichahpi and her pack of lions have been coming down the mountain for years, taking water and food from the campsites. We are told that, about ten years ago, a couple was attacked and killed by a pack of mountain lions. There bodies were reportedly discovered three days later after another camper found them.
Nobody yet knows how long this child has been living among these lions. And yet she seems to know how to communicate between the lions and humans. For years, the police have been getting reports of a child that lives among mountain lions on the Siskiyou Mountains but have only once tried to take her from the mountains. We are here with Captain Jack O'Rielly. Captain O'Rielly, can you tell us of the first time you tried to take the wild child away from the lion pack?"
"As a matter of fact, Jane, it was about four years ago when we first learned about her living among the lions. We came up here to see if we could catch her and bring her back to civilization. We were sure surprised when the lions wouldn't let us within 2 feet of her. They would circle her and the mother would force the girl onto her back. While the pack kept us away, the mother took the girl up the mountain and out of sight. I guess the pack went up the mountain after we left because when we came back, not a single lion was in sight and we couldn't find any tracks leading up the mountain. It was as if the child had come back down the mountain with a tree branch and swept away all the tracks so that they couldn't be found."
"Thank you Captain O'Rielly. And back to you Susan."
