Lost in Boston

It is scary enough trying to navigate the roads on Boston, but imagine arriving in Boston not knowing anything? A Nigerian man was found in Mattapan last week with no memory of his identity or how he ended up being thrown out of a car into a snowbank. "Tee" as he named himself, sustained head injuries last month and was taken to a Caritas Carney Hospital. After numerous meetings with area officials, he still suffered from amnesia and was taken in by two local women who he met at the hospital, Tee has been living in Weymouth trying to make a life here. Yet in the past week, there have been developments in the story. After appearing in the Boston Herald last week, Tee was interviewed on FOX News' show, "The Big Story Weekend with Rita Cosby" on Saturday night. The show's airing led to the reuniting of Tee, who's real name is Omar Beidari, with one of his many brothers. Beidari was living in Greensboro, NC with his sibling and working as a veterinarian; he had told his family he was going to Washington, D.C. last month to visit a friend. How Beidari ended up in Boston is still being looked into by police, but he will be going home to North Carolina as early as today.
