Confused Monkey Missing Some Teeth On The Loose In Neighborhood

ST. CHARLES COUNTY — Tobi the monkey is old, doesn't have all her teeth and may be confused.

She's missing, and her owners, neighbors and animal control officers in St. Charles County have been combing the streets and woods for her.

Tobi, a capuchin monkey, was last seen Thursday in the Wheeler Canyon Estates subdivision, just south of the Page Avenue bridge near the Katy Trail in St. Charles County. She weighs between 6 and 8 pounds and has a tan back and dark brown head, legs, tail and chest. She's over 40 years old, considered a senior citizen in capuchin monkey circles.

"Her mind isn't working like it used to," said Dr. Earl "Jack" Wipfler, who claims dryly that Tobi belongs to his wife, Shirley, not him.

ST. CHARLES — Lured by a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in her cage, Tobi the capuchin monkey returned to captivity on Sunday afternoon, five days after she fled her St. Charles home.

"She's just chirping and chirping. She's so ecstatic to be back," said Tobi's owner, Shirley Wipfler, who sounded ecstatic, too.

A motorist, Paul Corley, who had been looking for the monkey, spotted the animal on a fence near the St. Charles Family Arena about 4 p.m., and notified Shirley and Earl Wipfler.
