Teleka Patrick’s Body Possibly Found in Indiana Lake

The body of Teleka Patrick, a Kalamazoo physician who has been missing since last December, may have been found in a lake in northern Indiana.

Although authorities have yet to positively identify the body, her family confirmed to the local NBC affiliate that they believe it to be Patrick.

“Our family was informed that a body was found that may be our daughter Teleka Patrick. We are waiting for official confirmation from the Kalamazoo Sheriff’s Department and have no comment at this time. Thank you for your continued prayers — we ask that you respect our privacy at this difficult time,” they said in a statement.

On December 5th, Dr. Patrick, 30, disappeared after a shift at Borgess Medical Center where she is a resident. Dr. Patrick is a first-year resident in psychotherapy. Her purse and cell phone were found inside the hospital and her credit cards, ID, and keys were found inside of her car found abandoned in a ditch on Interstate 94 in northern Indiana.

Medical Student Missing – Help Find Teleka Patrick – Video

KALAMAZOO, Mich. (WOOD) – The family of a missing Kalamazoo med student are doing everything and anything they can to get the public’s help in finding their loved one.

“When it first happened, I didn’t feel like it was real…it just started hitting me today that it’s real. I can’t put it into words man,” said Mattahais Patrick, Teleka’s brother.

Teleka Patrick, 30, was last seen Dec. 5 after spending the evening in downtown Kalamazoo. She was then dropped off at her vehicle in the parking lot of Borgess Medical Center. Police said her car was found abandoned on I-94 near Porter, Ind. later that night. Some of her belongings were in the car, but not her purse.

“This is a mother’s worst nightmare. You know, sometimes I cry myself to sleep. Sometimes I’m very optimistic. But what really caused me to be not optimistic was finding her car and not finding her,” said Irene Patrick, Teleka’s mother.

On Friday, December 6th, she failed to arrive at work. The Kalamazoo County Sheriff’s Department was notified and started searching for her.

“Where is she? Where, where? To me, it’s more frustrating, its scarier that they found the car and didn’t find her,” said Teleka’s sister Teneisha.

Teleka Patrick’s family sent out a letter Saturday asking the public for help in finding her. They talked about the things they love most Teleka; her smile, her kindness and her laugh when she made corny jokes.

Her family is hoping and praying for her safe return.

“Sweetheart, please come home. I can’t have Christmas without you. I just made her bed because she has her ticket to come and spend Christmas with us,” said Irene.

Teleka’s parents traveled to Kalamazoo from Florida, her sister from Boston and her brother from New York City, in hopes of finding answers as to where Teleka is.
