Harris has been missing ever since she was discharged from Piedmont Hospital on May 16.
'My sister is like my first friend, and we are really close,' Brittaney Bethea said.
For years, Bethea has had a built-in best friend. However, shortly before 2020, doctors diagnosed Harris with schizoaffective disorder.
'On top of that, she has hallucinations and delusions,' Bethea told Channel 2's Michael Doudna.
Bethea says on May 13, Harris, who is 20 weeks pregnant, was involuntarily committed to Piedmont Hospital over concerns she might be a danger to herself.

Bethea, who has medical power of attorney, brought her sister clothes and shoes. She expected the stay would lead to her sister receiving some longer-term care.
However, on May 16, Harris was reportedly discharged.
'I don't think a person who came into a hospital barefoot on the 13th, who was considered an imminent danger to herself, who is 20 weeks pregnant, without a phone should have been released,' Bethea said.
Piedmont Hospital has not responded to a request for comment.
Over the past 10 days, Bethea has searched morning and night, chasing reported sightings of her sister.
'It's like a wild goose chase,' Bethea said.

So far, there have been sightings at some MARTA stations and a picture taken by a Kroger security guard.
However, Harris is still missing, leaving her sister desperate to find her.
'I'm scared, I'm scared for her. I'm upset, I'm disappointed, I'm frustrated,' Bethea said.
Anyone who sees the missing woman is requested to call APD.

Stop guessing! Find out your perfect daily step count goal, based on your age
It's been drilled into us that we should all be walking 10,000 steps every single day, drinking loads of water, and getting eight hours of restorative sleep every night. For some, that's doable, but for others, it's an unrealistic goal. Any movement is better than none, so if you're looking to tone up or lose weight walking is a good place to start. It could be simply getting off the subway a stop sooner on your commute, or walking after you've eaten dinner. (Yes, that's the viral TikTok fart walking trend — here's how to try it). Plus, according to the experts, your daily step count goal varies depending on your age. If you're looking to boost your mood, your cardiovascular fitness, and get fitter and stronger, a step count goal can make all the difference. Read on to find out the number you should be aiming for. According to Mark Harris, a qualified personal trainer, ultramarathon runner, and Mirafit's fitness expert, your step goal should be personal to you, and change depending on your age. Here's the numbers: 'For those aged 13-19, I recommend aiming for around 12,000 steps per day. While anywhere over 10,000 is great, 12,000 is easily achievable by commuting to school or engaging in extracurricular activities. Teenagers typically have higher energy levels and require movement to improve bone structure and general fitness,' says Harris. His advice for parents is to encourage children to engage in as much outdoor activity as possible, perhaps setting a family step count challenge. 'For young adults, I recommend aiming for between 8,000-10,000 steps each day. This is a great way to support the body's fitness levels and general health,' says Harris. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Fitting walking in around studying and work schedules can be tricky, but opting to head out for a walk on your lunch break, or heading for a hike on the weekend can help you hit these goals. One popular way to add more movement to your day is an underdesk treadmill — check out the best Walking Pads to buy here. 'For middle-aged individuals, a daily step count of 7,000 or above is recommended,' says Harris. 'At this age, people are more susceptible to conditions such as heart disease. Walking more can directly combat this, helping to support cardiovascular fitness by strengthening the heart. Furthermore, women experiencing menopause may also find that exercise can reduce symptom intensity while assisting with weight management.' If you are looking to lose weight by walking, it's a good idea to add intervals of faster walking to boost your calorie burn. Here are a few walking workouts to inspire you: 'For older adults, aged 55 or above, aiming for 6,000 steps each day is recommended. By maintaining daily movement, older adults and senior citizens can support mobility and flexibility. It's also great for bone health at this age, lowering the risk of osteoporosis or experiencing unnecessary fractures. A combination of walking and stretching routines, such as yoga or pilates, is incredibly beneficial for older individuals,' says Harris. Of course, fitness goals change as you get fitter and stronger. These numbers are just a guide, and aren't set in stone. If you're looking for more individualized guidance, the best place to start is talking to a personal trainer.

2 cats test positive for rabies in DeKalb County
Two dead cats have tested positive for rabies recently in DeKalb County, county officials reported Thursday. DeKalb County said one cat tested positive at Maryland Drive in Doraville. The other one tested positive at Cedar Ridge Trail in Stone Mountain. The county said it's not unusual for the county to report several rabies cases each year. Rabies in endemic to Georgia, and the virus is present all year long. The Georgia Department of Health says rabies is usually reported in wild animals such as skunks, raccoons, foxes and bats. These animals sometimes infect dogs, cats and livestock through bites. [DOWNLOAD: Free WSB-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] Pet owners are urged to make sure their animals are vaccinated for rabies. Also, children should make sure not to handle wild or stray domestic animals. The Georgia Department of Health said it's a misperception that rabid animals are easily identified by drooling and foaming at the mouth. Instead, infected animals may stagger, appear restless, be aggressive, have difficulty walking, seem overly friendly or appear to be choking.

Rabies can be prevented in humans if medical care is sought quickly after an exposure. Thoroughly clean the wound immediately with soap and water, and call your doctor as soon as possible. Those who are concerned about possible rabies exposure can call the Georgia Poison Center 24 hours a day, seven days a week: Atlanta 404-616-9000 or statewide 800-282-5846. Information can also be obtained from local health departments and animal rabies control officers. For more information about rabies, visit the Georgia Department of Health website.

Lee County child tests negative for measles, says Alabama Department of Public Health
Dr. Scott Harris, state health officer at Alabama Department of Public Health, speaks to the State Committee of Public Health meeting on April 10, 2025, in Montgomery. Harris told the committee on Thursday that a Lee County child suspected of having measles tested negative for the disease. (Alander Rocha/Alabama Reflector) Alabama's state health officer said Thursday that a suspected measles case in Lee County turned out to be negative, meaning the state has not yet seen a confirmed case of the disease this year amid measles outbreaks around the nation. Dr. Scott Harris Thursday told the State Committee of Public Health, which oversees the Alabama Department of Public Health, that the suspected case was in a child just under 12 months old who was not yet eligible for the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine. The child had symptoms such as fever and rash, but tested negative on Wednesday. 'At this point, we don't have our first measles case from this outbreak, that we know of anyway,' Harris said. SUBSCRIBE: GET THE MORNING HEADLINES DELIVERED TO YOUR INBOX ADPH reported Sunday it was investigating a suspected case of measles. In March, the department investigated a possible measles exposure after an unvaccinated child who traveled through the state later tested positive for measles. Alabama's MMR vaccination rate among kindergartners was 93.8% in the 2023-2024 school year, under the 95% rate set by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to achieve herd immunity. Harris has said in each board meeting since the outbreaks started this year that a case in Alabama 'is coming.' He said there could still be undetected cases, especially in areas with low vaccination rates, that can lead to an outbreak. 'If you have a case that reaches some population, for example, a day care, where kids aren't old enough to be vaccinated yet. You could expose dozens of children at once,' Harris said after the board meeting. An outbreak that started with two unvaccinated school-age children in west Texas in January has now spread to at least 33 other states, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Since the first outbreak this year, authorities have reported nearly 1,200 cases in people who are either unvaccinated or have unknown status. Of total cases, 12% have been hospitalized and three people have died. The measles vaccine has significantly reduced severe illness and fatalities since it became available in 1973; previously, measles led to an estimated 48,000 hospitalizations and 400-500 deaths annually in the U.S. Two doses of the MMR vaccine are 97% effective at preventing measles, and one dose is 93% effective. Through April, the MMR vaccination rate in Texas was up 450%, compared to its vaccination rate in 2019, according to The Texas Tribune. Since the outbreak, Texas health officials have made the vaccine, which is typically available to children ages one and older, available to infants older than six months. Health officials have also attributed the increased vaccine uptake to public awareness.
