A love for manga sparked a romance between a young Singaporean woman and a Romanian teenager. The love affair however proved to be pretty damn bizarre.
25-year-old Cheryl Yap Lay Leng brought her mother along with her to Romania, along with about $50,000 in funds. All without telling her father, who came home one day last month, finding no trace of both women. Their passports were gone too.
The 59-year-old taxi driver dad had even lodged a police report about the sudden disappearance of his wife and daughter, according to The New Paper, fearing that they fell victim to scammers. He found out from his daughter's credit card statement that she bought flight tickets to Romania.
