The 25-Year old Houstonian,
Dr Fehintola Omidele aka
FT who disappeared
(Read It Here If You Missed It) after dinner with her family on Nov. 30th has been found.
KHOU reports that FT called her sister around 1pm yesterday to tell her that she was in
El Campo, TX and that she's safe.
The circumstances of her disappearance are not yet clear. El Campo is a city about seventy miles Southwest of Houston. Her family became worried after she failed to show up for work on Monday at the
Children's Memorial Herman Hospital, where she's a first year resident.
Omidele, enjoyed a glistering academic career, graduating from high school at
16 with a grade point average of
4.3 out of a possible 5.0, before graduating college at the age of
20. She enrolled in graduate medical school after majoring in
Biology and child development at the
University of Texas.
Hailing from
Nigeria, her family moved to New Orleans when she was eight, then to Katy Texas, when she was 12.
In a profile done on her in April, Dr Omidele told
The Chronicle..
"I have always loved children. I am drawn to them. Personally I consider myself a kid at heart. In college, I worked at the child development center"
She graduated in May, when she started her three-year pediatrics placement at the Childrens Memorial Herman Hospital in Houston, Texas. One day she said, she hopes to work for the French non-governmental organization Doctors Without Borders.
