Well, there's also the issue of context; if this person has been alone his or her entire life- aside from raising some questions- then their behavior is stripped of a context in which the idea of moral and immoral acts have any meaning. If one isn't raised in a cultural context to help them determine the basis of morality, then what do they have? They've got no concept of harm to others, because there have been no others to harm.
But if this solitary person has a background with other people, then they have system of morality in place, because they've existed in a place where that morality matters, and if it's breached, there are other people to stop that.
Now, of course, they could break that moral code, but that doesn't mean it's nonexistent. The thing that's different, when considering this solitary person versus a person in society, is the punishment, not morality itself.
