A 25-year-old doctor at Children's Memorial Hermann Hospital reported missing a week ago was found safe in El Campo Sunday, her family said.
Fehintola "FT" Fehintolaborrowed a phone from an employee at a Wal-Mart Super Center in Wharton County to tell her sister, Shayo, where she was, according to accounts.
"From what I know, she is OK. I have not talked to her since she telephoned her sister who went down to pick her up," her father, Segun Omidele, an oil company engineer, said late Sunday afternoon.
The last time Omidele had contact with the young doctor was when they ate dinner together Nov. 30 at her apartment on West Bellfort. The next day he received a text message informing him that his normally responsible and punctual daughter failed to show up for her job as an intern. He went to her apartment, where he discovered that she and her Toyota Camry had vanished. Her cellphone was still in the apartment.
After the aspiring pediatrician was back home Sunday night, her family issued a statement requesting privacy so they might have time to "regroup" before sharing any more details about the disappearance. The statement said the young doctor is healthy and "happy to be back home with her family."
"We are truly grateful for all the support and love everyone has shown over the past week, and we are overwhelmed with the efforts put forth by friends, family and everyone involved," the statement said.
