KALAMAZOO, Mich. (AP) - Authorities are knocking down speculation that a doctor missing from Kalamazoo for two months may have been at a Walmart store near Battle Creek last week.
The Kalamazoo County sheriff’s office released a brief statement Friday, saying the woman wasn’t Teleka Patrick. The tip came from a Walmart employee.
The 30-year-old Patrick disappeared on Dec. 5. Her car was found in a ditch along Interstate 94 in northern Indiana. She was last seen trying to get a room at a Kalamazoo hotel but didn’t stay and got a ride back to her car at Borgess Medical Center.
Patrick had been in Michigan since last summer when she started a medical residency at Borgess.
