Mangaluru: An elderly woman who had gone missing 14 years ago from her hometown Kortampet in Tamil Nadu was reunited with her daughter and son at the Mangaluru’s White Doves destitute home.
“Mary only knew her name when she came here 10 years ago. Recently, she told us about her home town,” Corrine Rusquinha, founder of White Doves was quoted speaking to ANI.
“Ten years ago, she was spotted by Mangaluru police who brought her to White Doves home late one evening. Initially, she could only speak Tamil, so it was presumed she was from Tamil Nadu. She was on psychiatric treatment,” Rusquinha said.
“Surprisingly, she could recall the name of her hometown, following which the visiting priest contacted the pastor at Kortampet. Mary’s family, including her daughter Gnana Anthony, who is a paramedic student in Coimbatore, was informed about Mary,” she said.
Soon after, Gnana and her elder brother came to Mangaluru to take their mother back to their home.
