Fehintola Omidele found
The doctor was found in a local Walmart. According to click2houston, the Walmart employee said she was having lunch at the Subway inside the store when the missing doctor approached her and asked to borrow her cellphone.
The employee didn’t recognize her as the missing woman.
Omidele had called her sister to tell the family where she was.
Omidele was first reported missing a week ago after she never showed up for work. Her car, cellphone and purse were gone too. Omidele is a pediatrics resident physician who was interning at Children’s Memorial Hermann Hospital.
Her family continued to search for her and cameras captured the moments after Omidele’s father was told his daughter was found safely.
“I can’t describe that,” Sejuh Omidele said. “I mean there are no words to describe that. This is just unbelievable. It’s unbelievable in our own eyes as human beings but this is just one of those things that is ordinary for Jesus to do.”
It is definitely an unexpected twist to a puzzling story.
Omidele’s father said she is home safe now and right now isn’t ready to speak to the media.
The Walmart employee says the woman told her the pressure of residency was just too much to handle.
