South Bend mother hopes for son's return Son Sargent Micek has been missing since May 1989 By DAVE STEPHENS Tribune Staff Writer SOUTH BEND — There's a story in the Bible, a parable about a woman who loses a valuable coin and stops everything to search for it. Norma Doyle knows that story. For 21 years, she's been living it, searching for her missing son, Sargent Micek, and earnestly believing he will be found. In the Bible, the story ends after the woman finds her coin and, with joy, calls her neighbors to celebrate. Doyle says she is waiting to make that call. She says she plans to hug her son's neck and kiss his cheek and, in the loving way that only the former factory worker and brash-talking mother of five can, say, "Where the hell have you been?" Doyle believes someone knows the answer to that question. She has to believe it, because that's what good mothers do. Because the thought of never knowing is worse than the thought of knowing the worst. "Even if he's dead somewhere and someone could call and say, 'Sarge's buried here,' that would bring relief," Doyle said. "Because every time I hear that there was a body found, I think maybe it's him. And that's no way to live." Sargent Micek, then 22, disappeared May 4, 1989. It's believed he was last seen drinking and playing pool at two now-defunct South Bend bars: The Bear's Den, on Michigan Street, and the Cap n' Cork Lounge, now known as Corby's, at the corner of LaSalle and Niles Avenue. About 3 a.m., Micek called his mom and asked to be picked up. She told him to get a cab. It was the last conversation they ever had. Since that night, Doyle has been among the searching. At first, she was confident Sargent would turn up. She thought maybe he had been hit in the head, that he suffered amnesia. She sought answers. She talked with police. She called Micek's friends. She sought psychics, who ultimately gave her conflicting predictions. Sgt. Al DeRoo, who investigated South Bend's missing person cases, said tips came in. Police sent divers to a quarry, where it was rumored Micek had been dumped in a barrel. He obtained a warrant to dig up an old root cellar, after another tip that proved fruitless. No trace of Micek was ever found. Doyle turned to the press, where her and Micek's story has been told and retold. She's turned to Crime Stoppers, which broadcast her story last week. Occasionally there were new tips, new rumors. But no clues ever materialized. Time passed, Doyle's children grew up and had children of their own. She's now the grandmother of 12, some of whom are older than Micek was the day he disappeared. Life has gone on. Life has stayed the same. Although she's moved into a different home, she's kept the same phone number in case Micek were to call. His picture is prominent in her living room. In public, she stares into the faces of strangers, hoping to recognize her son. At night, she has the occasional dream that she finds him, that he's safe. She holds on to the hope he is alive, even if few others do. "It's my idea that he's no longer with us," said DeRoo, the detective. "After seven years, he's legally considered dead." Doyle, too, understands that conclusion. But she can't accept it. Recently, she said, the name Sarge was found scrawled into the concrete at Battell Park in Mishawaka. She can't prove that he wrote it, but believes that he did — the handwriting is his, she said. At age 65, she believes that before she dies, the questions surrounding her son's disappearance will be answered. "That's when I'll finally be able to rest," Doyle said. Preachers, Doyle said, tell her to be patient, to trust in God, that things will work out in the end. She believes them. As a mother she has to, even as the waiting grows hard. "But when?" Doyle asks. "Can someone tell me when?" In the Bible is another story about a boy who leaves home and squanders his life in a far country. He grows tired and weak and hungry, and he decides to return to his family. As he approaches his home, the boy's father, who has been watching the horizon, comes running to embrace his son. The story says nothing about how long the boy had been missing or how far he traveled. Only that he came home and found his family waiting. http://www.southbendtribune.com/article/20.../100509442/1130 |

http://www.abc57.com/home/top-stories/Moth...-254433671.html Mother of man reported missing in 1989 wants closure By Jasmine Norwood Story Created: Apr 8, 2014 at 5:32 PM EDT Story Updated: Apr 8, 2014 at 6:19 PM EDT SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- The missing persons case of Teleka Patrick could soon come to a close after a body was found in a Portage County lake. But one South Bend mother has been waiting over 25 years to find out what happened to her son who disappeared in May 1989. "He's out there somewhere I know it," said Normal Doyle. Sargent Micek was 22-years-old on May 4, 1989 when he went out for drinks and never made it home. "A lot of times he'd call me, he'd say ma, come pick me up. They girls would say, 'No ma don't go do it.' And the one time I don't, this is what happens. I should have just went. But then you don't know," said Doyle. Doyle says not a day goes by that she doesn't think about him. "I mean, every day you think about, well, is today going to be the day? There's not a day that I don't think about him," said Doyle. Her phone is never out of arm's reach, and she's had the same number and lived in the same house for decades. "I don't ever change the number in the phone book or nothing, because if and when, I'm in there and he'll be able to call me," said Doyle. Doyle says she's living every mother's worst nightmare. "Dealing with it, I would like closure before I'm gone. I want to know where my son's at," said Doyle. Today, Micek would be in his forties. Doyle asks anyone with information to step forward. "All somebody's got to do is pick up that phone and say I know where he is and they would be doing the best thing in the whole world," said Doyle. Until she gets that call, she'll keep looking and keep praying for answers. If you have any information about either Teleka Patrick or Sargent Micek call Crime Stoppers at 574-288-STOP or 800-342-STOP. |
