OK.......I'm confused. Did she suffer from amnesia? Did she know her own name? If not, what did the folks in the Atlanta office "look up"?? If she DID know her name, why was she so........lost??

Sorry......just too many holes in this story.

Michael Guess deserves some sort of recognition award for this kind of service and personal humanitarian-style help.

Guess said it appeared that Perley, a college graduate with a chemistry degree, property and other investments, had disappeared from her home in Kentucky after a painful divorce.

Sounds like a democrat.

As it turned out, she got off the plane in Nashville, stayed in the airport until authorities kicked her out and then roamed the streets for years, relatives said.

"A week of homelessness turned into a month, and a month into a year, and she just spiraled down and down," Fred Perley told The Tennessean newspaper.

Her fortune started changing earlier this year when she was accused of causing a public disturbance and was sent to court.

Prosecutors agreed to move her case to mental health court, where a judge ordered her to see a psychiatrist. As a result, she began taking depression medication again and received temporary shelter. She even worked in a restaurant for a while until it closed about a month ago.

"She said this was the first winter in seven years she spent indoors," Shelby Perley said.

Mark Fishburn, the presiding judge at Davidson County's mental health court, said Perley was focused on finding a job and permanent housing.

Then she walked into Guess' office to inquire about her long-forgotten investment account.
