“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 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.
“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 10 days, Bethea said she searched morning and night, chasing reported sightings of her sister.
“It’s like a wild goose chase,” Bethea said.
