PORTER, Ind. – An autopsy has identified a woman's body recovered from a northwestern Indiana lake as that of a missing Michigan doctor.
The Lake County Coroner's Office said Wednesday that fingerprints confirmed the body as Teleka Patrick, 30, of Kalamazoo, Mich.
A cause of death was not released.
Indiana State Police say divers found the body Sunday in Lake Charles in Porter , about 15 miles east of Gary.
