Tobi, a capuchin monkey, escaped last Tuesday from Earl and Shirley Wipfler's place in St. Charles and had the run of the area until late Sunday when Paul Corley spotted the wayward monkey perched on a fence.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch said Corley, who had been driving around diligently looking for Tobi, called the Wipflers with the news. They arrived at the scene with a cage and a peanut butter-and-jelly sandwich and watched as a hungry Tobi scampered back to her human pals.

Shirley Wipfler told the newspaper Tobi was "ecstatic" to be home.
