Back last summer, FTVLive was the FIRST to report that longtime KTVK Anchor Patti Kirkpatrick was off the air, her desk cleaned out and the station not talking.

Since we first broke the news, FTVLive has followed up with a number of stories about Kirkpatrick being MIA and the station remaining silent on the issue.

Viewers took to social media, emailed and called KTVK, never to get a straight answer.

This week, the station finally pulled Kirkpatrick's bio from the station's website, 7 months after she last was seen on air.

Word inside the station is staffers have been told that Kirkpatrick is not coming back.

No word on when the station will get around to telling the viewers the same thing.
