Kelli Johnson, a Texas district court judge who has not been seen since the beginning of the month is not “missing,” her brother told The Daily Beast—she is out on medical leave.
The rumors about Harris County Judge Johnson began swirling earlier this week, when local news station ABC13 reported had been mysteriously “absent” from her post at the 178th Criminal Court since May 1. Coworkers told the outlet she was exhibiting “manic” behavior before she disappeared and was a “danger to herself and to the community.”
But Clay Johnson, the judge’s brother and a local attorney, told The Daily Beast his sister was “fine” and that her family and wife are in “daily contact with her.”
