“I don’t know much about the details of the case, other than the fact that I really feel terrible for her family,” Sapp, pastor of Lighthouse Full Life Center Church in Grand Rapids, told the news station.
The comment comes several months after Sapp was thrust into controversy surrounding the disappearance of the 30-year-old Michigan doctor. Patrick’s body was found in early April in a lake in Porter, Ind., less than a mile from where her car had been found on the side of Interstate 94. Two autopsies concluded that she had drowned.

Patrick was buried April 25 in Orlando, Fla., the report says.
