wwmtA Michigan woman reported missing weeks ago has surfaced not in person, but online in some very unusual videos.
Dr. Teleka Patrick was last seen Dec. 5 at her job at Borgess Medical Center in Kalamazoo. Her 1997 gold Lexus was discovered with, her wallet inside, later that night about 100 miles away in Portage, Ind.
Police have been searching for Patrick but she has not reached out to anyone since her disappearance. But a few bizarre YouTube videos show her reaching out to a mystery person - and a private investigator hired by the family is wondering if she was delusional when she went missing.
In the videos, Patrick - posting under the name sandra3000cassie - converses with her 'baby' and shares intimate details of her day. She also spends a good amount of time serenading the camera.
Trouble is, Patrick's family and friends have no knowledge of her being in a relationship. They insist she was single at the time of her disappearance, private investigator Carl H. Clatterbuck III told the Daily News on Monday.
He also said there is no record of Patrick texting or emailing these YouTube videos to anyone.

The family has no idea who Patrick is talking to, he said.
'We don't have a clue right now,' he said. 'It's kind of frightening. It adds a new layer of mystery.'
In a video titled 'my awesome day!' Patrick is talking to her 'baby' and wants to say 'hi' and talk about her day.
She pauses for several seconds, puts her hand on her chest and says, 'Baby ... I felt that,' while looking adoringly into the camera.
The rest of the video, posted Nov. 8, includes her singing a love song. She says in the video it is past midnight but she appears very lively and full of energy - especially after such a long day.
She ends with saying 'I love you' and mimes a kiss.

In 'Surprise! Final Video,' posted Nov. 10, Patrick tells the intended recipient she wants to show off a surprise.
'If you were here, this would be your plate,' she says.
She then pans the camera to a table set for two with complete breakfast including omelets, pancakes, veggie bacon, fruit and glasses of orange juice.
Romantic music plays in the background - and with a glazed look on her face, Patrick begins singing into the lens. The video ends with the song.
The rest of the videos on her YouTube profile contain spiritual music.
Clatterbuck said Patrick has not been diagnosed with any type of social disorder or mental health issues. But he can't rule out that perhaps Patrick concocted this supposed significant other and is delusional in the videos.

'As an armchair psychologist you have to ask that question,' he said.
But Clatterbuck doesn't believe at this point Patrick left to join her mystery love.
He has a theory that Patrick was attempting to hide from someone and get 'off the grid.'
On the night she was last seen she tried to check into a hotel only a few miles from her apartment, he said. The hotel was full so she took a shuttle back to her work and the driver said she darted through cars as if she was trying to lose someone who may be following her, he said.
'I'm making a jump (with the theory) but it's not much of a jump,' he said. 'It's clear she was worried about something.'
He adds she left her phone at her office and has not used her credit cards. She even borrowed $100 to pay for the hotel room form a colleague, he said.
He continues to ask the public who may have seen Patrick in her car Dec. 5 to step forward with information. Clatterbuck can be reached at 269-349-8811.
'The family has a high amount of frustration,' he said. 'No one knows anything.'
