After being tricked into
selling her Singapore home and traveling to China to invest the proceeds, Mary
Seow eventually found herself homeless in Hong Kong, having lost touch with her
family. Nearly
five years after she was reported missing, and after her story was told this
month in an Associated Press article about people who sleep at 24-hour
McDonald's outlets in Hong Kong, she has been reunited with her son and was on
her way back to Singapore on Saturday.
Seow,
60, said she did not expect to be heading back to Singapore so soon after the
story broke on Nov. 12.
