minute trail of Clues the most prominent of which coming from her previously unknown Channel as it would quickly be discovered that things within these videos were nothing like how they seemed giving

her day at the Borgess Medical Center in downtown Kalamazoo working there as a first-year medical resident the young doctor was described as being incredibly bright by her colleagues with an extremely promising future ahead and to those who knew her she was a fun-loving and just overall great person to be around however for whatever reason on this particular day talika's personality seemed different upon her shift coming to an end teleko would ask a co-worker for a ride to the eradicin a hotel located just a few miles away her request seemed strangely frantic almost pushy and sensing that something may be wrong the co-worker agreed to take her there dropping her off at the entrance before driving away from there cameras show as talika attempts to rent a room only to be turned away as she didn't have enough money or a proper ID with a young woman having left her wallet back at her job during this conversation the employees at the front desk noticed that talika appeared on edge and slightly incoherent prompting a receptionist to ask if she was okay but to leak a brushed aside the concern and eventually left the hotel outside tawika entered the hotel's complementary shuttle asking the driver to drop her back off at The Borges so she could retrieve her wallet return and then pay for her room but when the driver eventually pulled into the parking lot of the hospital talika nervously turned to him and said I can't go back there with you before rushing off ducking her head between parked Vehicles as if she was attempting to hide from someone the driver then watched as she got into her car and pulled off into the night he would be the last known person to ever speak to her on the road talika began driving frantically at extremely high speeds weaving in and out of traffic displaying signs that again seemed to indicate that she was potentially being followed and that she was trying to evade someone or something her driving became so erratic that a concerned motorist would call the police and report her vehicle but before the authorities could arrive talika's front left tire on her 1997 Lexus would burst forcing the car off the road before it came to a stop in the dead of the night stranding her 100 miles away from her home talika then grabbed the keys from her ignition exited the vehicle and was never seen again [Music] uh it's on I-94 uh the westbound Lanes there's a car off the road down in the ditch within minutes police officers would discover her car parked alongside a ditch and upon searching the vehicle all they would find were her personal belongings like her wallet cash and a cell phone but no sign of talika herself authorities would go on to search the entire area for miles around including the shores of a nearby lake but found nothing and with no sign of the young Doctor talika Patrick was officially declared missing on the 6th of December leading up to her disappearance everyone who came into contact with talika that night all shared a similar story something was clearly off with her she seemed nervous even terrified prompting some to immediately conclude that Foul Play was involved and that perhaps she had somehow been hunted down to address this Theory police dogs would be brought in to track her scent Trail which bizarrely led them from her open car door directly to the side of the road before coming to an abrupt stop seemingly insinuating that someone had picked her up willingly or unwillingly adding to the suspicious nature of her disappearance the night prior talika had called a friend of hers named James Davis who was living in St Louis at the time and explained to him that she believed someone was trying to kill her and that she needed to get away from Kalamazoo to go visit him and it's believed that she was driving to St Louis to meet Davis immediately before she vanished perhaps confirming that her concerns were in fact warranted given the nature of her Vanishing the story of talika Patrick immediately became a viral news story with a search effort quickly being launched to determine what had happened to her but early on this would yield little to no results as much like the air on that winter night her Trail grew definitely cold however on the internet a new Trail was forming hi love is me frustrated by the lack of answers in person investigators started digging into the online history of talika Patrick which led them to their most important Discovery yet her YouTube channel going by the name of sandra3000 KC talika would publish a series of Nine videos within the span of one week in early November 2013 with one of the most infamous being a clip titled my awesome day where she sits in front of her camera and addresses someone she refers to as baby hi baby good night it's talika I am just coming to you to say hi and uh just to tell you about my day the video certainly wasn't without its strange moments as at one point she stops and touches her chest before saying you felt that while also going on to randomly burst out into song which seems to last the majority of the video and now I'm home yes put it up a little bit of fight it's all right and these somewhat unusual moments continue from here as each of our nine uploads follow the same exact format serving as almost unscripted Love Letters to this unnamed man in various Clips talika even alludes to the potential relationship troubles between the two referencing how she didn't really know what was going on between them I don't know what's going on you know in your life and stuff we have an idea but I know everything but still adamantly reaffirming the fact that she wants to make things work and that she is still deeply in love do your best I do my best and yeah each other a chance so in love that she even filmed herself cooking extravagant mules made for two going as far as to set the table for both of them despite the fact that this date wasn't actually present here are my raw materials I don't even eat chicken I'm vegetarian but I want that for you that's just uh potato so far fewer here this is what would be your broccoli and tomatoes and peppers and cheese and within these videos a few key moments make it clear that the two had actually met in person quite recently as she points to a bouquet of flowers that she states and here are the flowers from last time insinuating that the two had likely gone on some sort of date within the days prior viewing her content as a whole despite some of the more unusual moments it's nothing all that jarring and it really just seems to show a woman who is desperately in love and whether she was going through some relationship issues or perhaps just in some sort of long-distance relationship it didn't really matter because these clips were clearly never meant to be seen by anyone but the man they were made for and at first investigators likely thought that they would do little in the way of helping to solve this case however upon questioning talika's family and friends about these videos a glaring red flag began to emerge and the channel was thrown into a far different light as according to all those close with her at the time these videos were released talika Patrick should have been single Patrick's family issued this statement in response to the new video to our knowledge talika was not in a romantic relationship and it's unclear to whom she is making reference in this video not once had talika a woman who was said to be quite open and talkative mentioned to anyone that she was in a relationship friends families colleagues and even neighbors never once heard about or saw her with another man and even digging into her phone records revealed nothing in the form of romantic texts or frequent calls to an unnamed Lover by all accounts talika Patrick was undoubtedly a single woman but if that was the case then who is she talking to here bye I love you who were these loving videos for and italika's words were true referencing previous in-person dates then how had no one known about this relationship and most importantly of all why had she coincidentally gone missing under suspicious circumstances just one month after these strange videos were made putting all this into consideration the suspicious activity on the night of her disappearance moving as if she was running away and the videos made for someone who seemingly didn't even exist in her own life one Theory began to emerge a theory that pointed straight to Foul Play perhaps talika had gotten involved in some sort of ill-fated secretive relationship only for things to turn sour leading to talika being hunted down and kidnapped thus explaining why she seemed to be fleeing on the night of her disappearance with this in mind investigators began to dig deeper into taliko's online footprint in a desperate search to uncover who this man truly was believing that he may very well have some involvement in this disappearance though nothing could have prepared them for the DraStic and highly unusual turn that they were about to face tonight yet another twist in the mystery of the missing Kalamazoo doctor Target 8 uncovered hundreds of tweets allegedly posted by talika Patrick in the weeks before she went missing to those who knew her teliko was a well put together extremely intelligent woman who is clearly of sane mind but the discovery of her Twitter accounts began to paint a slightly different picture in total investigators would find five accounts that had all been active at different times throughout 2013 each of them belonging to talika and each of them having thousands and thousands of tweets showcasing incoherent ramblings as if she was posting every single one of her thoughts oftentimes even having conversations with seemingly no one at all constantly saying things like hi my friend how are you and everything okay just woke up sorry to which no one would be specifically tagged and no one would reply and the deeper you scroll the stranger things get as much like her YouTube channel she spends most of her time referencing her love interest stating well I felt you a little bit yesterday last night after you messaged I felt you thinking about me and hope you have a wonderful day love you much like her previous videos these tweets would fail to gain any semblance of a response which seemed to push her more and more into madness creating more accounts and tweeting out even more frequently typing messages as if she were expecting someone specific to find her should I start another page look look for your friend let me know when you find her did you find me I've been messaging you for the past two days from another Twitter account I thought you'd find it PSY and this is just a minuscule glimpse into her posting as these accounts hold an impossibly vast amount of information with so many unusual moments but by far the most bizarre detail to come of all these tweets was one name in particular one of the only specific names mentioned across all of her Pages which she brings up over and over and over again [Music] [Applause] Marvin Sapp at Marvin Sapp good morning when life gives you lemons make lemonade again Marvin Sapp good morning when life gives you lemons make lemonade at Marvin Sapp good morning don't be sad God never puts more on us than we can bear all three of these messages were posted within the span of 24 hours and they were far from the only mentions of the famed grammy-nominated gospel singer sometimes she would make blatant references to him and his music often times using his lyrics to point to a supposed connection between the two and though it's hard to prove outright with her tweets alone it quickly became apparent that talika's love interest with whom she had seemingly tweeted to thousands of times was in fact Marvin Sapp introducing the possibility that talika was perhaps just a crazed fan which would make a few of her next tweets all the more disturbing I have relocated to be with you so I really hope you want me so we can be in love and get married and have a couple babies and as you may or may not know I attempted to visit you yesterday her messages were obviously concerning as it began to grow a parent to investigators that this relationship talika had mentioned was solely a one-sided Affair after all most would have assumed that someone as famous as Marvin Sapp would have no idea who this woman was but this actually wasn't the case as sap did in fact know of talika only for all the wrong reasons around the start of 2013 talika began obsessively messaging sap and tweeting out to him in some sort of code believing that the two Were Somehow spiritually connected and that he would eventually come to her even claiming on her social media that she and sap were actually married something that sap would eventually take note of but never respond to assuming that the woman may have been mentally unwell however when this failed to get a response talika then began to message Sapp's children further angering the singer and increasing his level of concern and when that too failed to get a response talika would pack her bags and relocate from California all the way to Kalamazoo which just so happened to be the exact location of Sapp's congregation as well as his home a home that talika would eventually visit in the dead of night confirming that her tweets referencing the matter were in fact true talika's Behavior had gotten so serious that sap himself convinced authorities to issue him an order of protection against her in September of 2013 pointing to over 400 pages of unwanted correspondence coming from her sap would also ban talika from attending his church ever again this however only heightened her delusional State and would lead to her posting these videos on her Channel as by this point she was so far removed from reality that she truly believed that the two were lovers and that sap was communicating with her telepathically and was somehow always with her by the time December had rolled around talika's tweeting grew increasingly dark as she began to write about demons and how they were affecting her writing on the 4th of December you reach me through a demonic portal that gives demons power over me and dilutes my Spiritual Authority please understand that I must protect myself spiritually the very next day talika would go through each of her Twitter accounts delete everything and vanish alongside of the road the discovery of these accounts adds a whole new element to the case and seems to point to one obvious conclusion that at the time of The Disappearance talika was likely in the midst of some sort of severe psychotic break but this still fails to explain what exactly had led to her actual disappearance this question spurred on three prominent theories one that she had simply gone off into the woods alongside of the road attempting to hide from someone that just wasn't actually there and instead was merely a figment of her delusions and when hiding in the woods she then succumbed to hypothermia as wintertime in Michigan is notoriously cold two that in the midst of this psychotic break she decided to leave all her belongings aside and essentially run away hitching a ride to somewhere far away possibly to start a new life and finally three the theory that she truly was being followed and that someone had grabbed her alongside of the road leading to her disappearance as after all that's exactly where police dogs had lost her scent lay leader a bloodhound tractor sent directly from the car to the side of the road and from there the trail goes cold some would even further theorize that perhaps the victim of talika stalking may have had a hand in it as by this point sap was well aware of the woman and highly concerned with her behavior which alone gave him a clear motive to protect his family While others pointed to more scandalous Affairs that the two had actually been romantic in a Time past only to suffer from a major breakup thus causing talika's mental health to spiral with the relationship potentially putting his career in Jeopardy as who knows what talika might say or do and given his wealth he certainly had the means to make this happen however this Theory never really went further than mere speculation and police would adamantly state that sap was merely a victim of stalking and was never considered a person of interest in this case the pastor is nothing more than an innocent victim of an apparent stalking and on a similar note there was another early suspect that would emerge in the public eye talika's ex-husband Ismail Calderon to whom she had been married to for four years before splitting up in 2011. immediately after the two had separated talika had gone on to an online nursing forum and accused Ismail of emotionally and verbally abusing her throughout their relationship leading some to question whether he too had a hand into lika's disappearance perhaps as a means of silencing her or getting revenge for their relationship ending but much like sap Calderon was never actually labeled as a suspect in fact it appears that there was only ever one real person of interest in the minds of police with that being James Davis the last known contact that talika had through her cell phone as he was the one that talika had called explaining that she was fearing for her life though given that he had lived so far away in St Louis he too would be cleared of any wrongdoings and instead was eventually labeled as just a concerned friend and with no suspect no body and no real concrete Clues speculation is really all we'd be left with at least least until April 3rd 2013 when everything would change first tonight the developments continue to come in about a body found in a small Indiana Lake this was not the answer anyone wanted investigators are certain the body found in an Indiana lake is that of talika Patrick nearly three months after her disappearance a fisherman would come across the body of talika Patrick floating in Lake Charles in the general vicinity where her car was found abandoned with an autopsy eventually confirming her cause of death drowning with no signs of trauma evident on the body putting the pieces together investigators theorized that talika had suffered from a manic episode causing her to believe that she was being followed and even hunted when she hurriedly drove off and perhaps the shock of getting a flat tire led to her believing that someone was attempting to attack her causing her to immediately grab the keys and flee from the car fearing for her life without a flashlight and running in complete darkness it's believed that talika accidentally ran straight into Lake Charles which is a body of water located directly parallel to where her car was found just a few hundred feet away and tragically that night the water was incredibly cold and could have caused almost immediate hypothermia with the lake actually completely freezing over that very night hiding her body in an icy tomb and forever sealing her fate and as for the trail she left behind on the internet well despite being initially labeled as a profoundly disturbing internet mystery with these videos being considered key pieces of evidence within her case law enforcement now believed that this was all just merely a coincidence as though her uploads and tweets do show evidence of her stalking this stalking to them seems unrelated to her actual Vanishing and rather than being viewed as Clues pointing towards Foul Play please now view these videos as apparent signs of talika's fractured Mental Health this was the official explanation given for The Disappearance of talika Patrick a tragic accident triggered by untreated mental illness although of course some are still skeptical including talika's own family who point to several unexplained inconsistencies like her Central leading directly to the road which was the opposite direction of the lake and the fact that the body of water where talika had been found was supposedly thoroughly surged on the night of her disappearance and later even probed with sonar technology on two separate occasions all of which yielding absolutely no results despite the fact that that body of water is so small that most in the area actually consider it to be a pond as it's so minuscule that it's not even labeled on Google Maps or Earth which makes it all the more unusual that she wasn't discovered there sooner prompting some to believe that she may have been kidnapped and killed elsewhere before her body was later dumped in the water to give the illusion of an accidental death another unknown in this case is what actually triggered her manic episode as many would assume that something must have happened that led to her believing she was in imminent danger with some believing that it may have been a threat from her ex-husband or even Marvin Sapp but according to all witnesses around her that day nothing at all out of the ordinary was reported that may have sparked this fear and nothing would be found on her cell phone as well leaving the true cause of her episode to be unexplained to this day the family was so distrusting of the initial investigation that a second autopsy would eventually be conducted which would go on to show that talika had water within her nasal cavity a detail that to the Pathologists proved for certain that she had in fact died by Drowning which officially ended the police investigation for good with one investigator stating that I do believe it's probably as solved as it's going to get though to this day we're still left with many unanswered questions and for some the mystery lives on I hope you have a good night bye I love you I want to give a huge shout out to my gold tier patrons and my god tier
