Teleka Patrick's Twitter posts reflect hopes, dreams amid worries of 'one big psychotic break'
on January 12, 2014 at 7:05 AM, updated January 12, 2014 at 7:54 AM

KALAMAZOO, MI -- On the same day a judge signed an order for Dr. Teleka Patrick to stay away from a Grand Rapids minister, the Kalamazoo medical resident tweeted worries she was experiencing "one big psychotic break."

In a long string of Twitter posts Sept. 17, less than three months before her Dec. 5 disappearance, Patrick wrote about her unrequited love for an unnamed man and her struggle to determine whether they had a genuine telepathic, psychic connection or the romance was a figment of her imagination.
 
Here are excerpts from posts in 2013 to Patrick's Twitter accounts:

Learning more about pastor who accused missing doctor of stalking
Updated: Wednesday, January 15 2014, 07:37 PM EST

KALAMAZOO, Mich. (NEWSCHANNEL 3) - As police search for clues in the disappearance of a West Michigan doctor, we're learning more about the pastor who accused her of stalking him.

Teleka Patrick has been missing since she left work at Borgess Medical Center in Kalamazoo December 5th.

A few weeks after her disappearance we learned pastor and gospel singer Marvin Sapp was granted a personal protection order against her back in September.

We've learned Sapp has been pitching a TV reality show since 2012 based on his life which includes some similarities to the Patrick case.

Sapp's reality show called "Single Dad - Us Four And No More," was promoted as being about Sapp, a single father, raising three kids while maintaining a business and a career as a gospel music star.

Part of the storyline was described as dealing with "God told me you are my husband!" women.

That is similar wording to what was on the personal protection order against Teleka Patrick. Sapp wrote, "I'm a national recording star on the RCA label who she has claimed as her husband."

In another interview from 2012 now on YouTube he describes women who are too aggressive in pursuing him.

"You sit back and say my God, what changed? And what changed is, it's sad, but women have let their standards down," said Sapp.

So far Sapp, the pastor at Lighthouse FLC Church, has refused to answer any questions about the case. And he has even refused to talk with the private investigator hired by the Patrick family Jim Carlin.

"You would think if a pastor was in that position, he would at least try to reach out to his congregation in hope of bringing her home. But he doesn't return my call and he doesn't come to the door," says Carlin.

Huh.  Surely if this was another balloon boy situation it wouldn't have lasted this long.  Then again, nothing is surprising these days.

Teleka Patrick's siblings knew she moved to Kalamazoo to be closer to Marvin Sapp, tweets show
on January 16, 2014 at 7:00 AM, updated January 16, 2014 at 7:44 AM

KALAMAZOO, MI — Dr. Teleka Patrick'€™s sister and brother knew last spring of her plans to move from California to Kalamazoo to be closer to Marvin Sapp, a well-known Grand Rapids pastor and gospel singer, according to Patrick's Twitter posts.

Patrick's siblings, Eddie and Tenesha Patrick, promised at the time to say nothing and gave her a late 2013 deadline for revealing to their parents why she chose Kalamazoo as the place to begin her medical residency, Patrick said in the May 7 tweets under the username, @Caligurl2013.

"€œMy sister and brother know about you,"€� Patrick wrote.
 
"They think I am insane for relocating without any direct contact," Patrick wrote in the May 7 tweet about telling her siblings about Sapp. "They support me though. I told them that God spoke to me about you and He is sending me to you.

"They have agreed to allow me to explain to my parents why I relocated when I feel the time is right. So they are keeping mum. Our compromise is that I tell my parents before 2013 is up."

Patrick's siblings could not be reached for comment for this report.

New information in Teleka Patrick case
Kalamazoo doctor has been missing since December 5
Updated: Wednesday, January 22, 2014, 1:44 PM EST
Published: Tuesday, January 21, 2014, 6:32 PM EST
 
Patrick was last seen on Dec. 5 after entering the Radisson Plaza Hotel in downtown Kalamazoo.

While she didn’t outright ask to rent a room, she acted as though she wanted to, Fuller said.

However, she didn’t have enough money for the room, and a hotel employee brought her back to the Borgess Hospital parking lot in a service van, where her car was presumably parked.

Fuller said that when she got out of the van, she told the driver she was sorry and couldn’t go back to him – a comment that the driver found odd, since the two were not in a relationship.
 

Fuller said his department believes Patrick left Kalamazoo on her own free will, and was headed to Chicago to see a family member. It was what happened to her in the meantime that was still unclear.

Patrick had exhibited delusional behavior in the past, Fuller said, and would sometimes leave urgently and go missing for a short period of time, checking into a hotel or motel.

That behavior was consistent with her attempt to get a hotel room at the Radisson and the erratic driving on I-94, according to Fuller.

Fuller also addressed Patrick’s connection to gospel singer Marvin Sapp, who resides in the Grand Rapids area with his children.

He said his department was aware of the personal protection order that Sapp had filed against Patrick, but did not get into details of the PPO.

Fuller did say that Sapp was in no way connected to Patrick’s disappearance and had been “thoroughly cooperative” and had no choice but to seek the PPO in September 2013.

“He’s nothing more than an innocent victim of a stalking,” Fuller said.

He then continued to say that Sapp had either never met Patrick or did not realize that he had ever met her.

Another missing piece of the puzzle was a comment that Patrick made when applying to Western Michigan University’s School of Medicine.

Fuller said that when Patrick interviewed for her position, she told her interviewer that she wanted to move to Kalamazoo to be closer to her fiancé.

Investigators said they did not know to whom Patrick was referring in that instance.

No Good Leads In Teleka Patrick Case
5 hours ago

 
Several unanswered questions were cleared up by the news conference. A mystery phone call Patrick received while she was with others turned out to be a call from a relative and not connected to her disappearance. And the much-covered connection to Rev. Marvin Sapp, in which he was granted a personal protection order against Patrick, is limited to the stalking and Sapp is unconnected to her disappearance.

Here is a timeline of the disappearance as described by Sheriff Fuller:
•Patrick appears at the Radisson Hotel but does not specifically ask for a room. She had no identification and did not have enough money for a room.
•Patrick is taken by hotel van to Borgess Medical Center, where the driver watched her drive away in her own car.
•Two hours later, Indiana State Police respond to one report of an erratic driver and another report of a car off the road on I-94 in Portage, Ind.
•ISP find the car unoccupied with a flat tire. It’s not known if the car went off the pavement due to the flat or if the flat resulted from going off the road. The keys were not in the vehicle, but it contained her wallet with a small amount of money in it. A police dog follows tracks back to the roadway but loses the scent.
•Patrick is reported missing by co-workers.
•Patrick’s locker is found to contain her cell phone, work ID.
•Nothing in her apartment gives an indication of what happened.

Patrick’s disappearance seems to be complete. Her social media accounts have been quiet since she disappeared. She was supposed to be headed to a relative’s house in Chicago, but she never got there. Her credit card and bank accounts have been inactive since she disappeared.

One reason Patrick is a bit of a mystery, said Sheriff Fuller, is that she had not been in Kalamazoo long enough to establish friendships. She had stayed at the Radission Hotel one time in the past, but that was in connection with an orientation at Western Michigan University, a common reason for a hotel stay.

Police continue to come up empty. Surveillance along the highway has yielded no images of her along the highway or in the area. There is no indication that Patrick showed up at any hospital in the Portage, Ind., area. When asked if hospitals would withhold information, the sheriff said hospitals usually cooperate in missing person cases despite privacy concerns.

Thank you grace-land.  It seems we the public are still in the dark concerning the whereabouts of Teleka, and since there's no evidence to say otherwise, she could very well be alive.  I hope she and her family can be reunited and she will get the help she needs.

Agree, MuffyBee...and you're welcome!  I thought it was a good news conference--many good questions/answers.  However, if the LE shared everything with the public, it seems that a lot of detective work remains before we know where she is.
