MaryAnn Ontiveros never watches the evening new. However, she never misses her favorite show, CBS’ Person of Interest. Nevertheless, one night she forgot to turn the TV off after it aired, and the news began to play.
It was there she saw CBS 2′s Brad Edwards profiling a woman she hadn’t seen in 25 years.
That woman was her mother, Shirley Bennet. Shirley had been living in a shack in the parking lot near Cook County Jail. We’ve seen this happen before when a journalist photographed a missing man and reunited him with his family.
In the 90-second news segment, Shirley plead for help and to be reunited with her daughter.
