Student hides four years in church rafters in Ann Arbor
Chheng Guan Lim, 28, a Singaporean studied engineer at the University of Michigan, emerged from a cathedral rafters hideout in Ann Arbor after four years.

He faced immigration questions and possible reentry conditions, while university officials noted his grades did not transfer to the literary college.
