This case has been sad from the beginning, and unfortunately had the worse outcome.
So many around her saw and knew things weren't right. No close loved ones to help guide, and encourage treatment. The signs were there, and very possible TP would NOT have voluntarily accepted treatment. Yet working in the area where there were experts, I'm sure some had concerns. Especially when the drug screen was negative. They had to realize 'something' was off. I wonder how closely her work was monitored? She hadn't been there long, yet symptoms were showing in the short time those working with her, and being around her noticed. I hope it's used as a growing and learning experience and in the future, more psychological testing will be done before allowing a person that should have been a patient herself to treat others.
It's amazing Teleka was able to accomplish what she had in life. That's a difficult task for those without a mental illness. It bothers me that even though family knew things weren't right, and didn't believe Teleka's perception, the focus was placed on an innocent victim instead of stating the obvious that may have led to her being discovered sooner. Well maybe not, as LE knew the car was dangerous to drive from almost the onset, and knew the circumstances, and views from others. They had to think she was in that pond.
The entire case is just sad. It's one I won't soon forget.
