A California mother of two disappeared from a Texas airport after she was released from a mental health clinic the day before Thanksgiving.
Police are searching for Danielle Friedland, 36, who did not board her plane at George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston on Wednesday night.
“Dani has been going through unexpected but ongoing mental health issues for several months now, and we just love and support her,” her husband, Jordan Friedland, told KHOU 11 on Sunday.
Friedland spent six weeks receiving treatment at the Menninger Clinic in Houston and was scheduled to return to the California Bay Area for Thanksgiving.
Piedmont Police believe the mother of a 5- and 2-year-old may have left the airport in a taxi with $160 in cash and a debit card.
“Our children miss him more than anything in the world. She’s the greatest mom in the world, and the world is a better place with her and being a mom, a friend and a community member,” Jordan told the outlet.
Danielle Friedland, 36, never boarded her plane at George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston on Wednesday night. It is suspected that he may be in downtown Houston, specifically the Trinity Park area, according to the family.
Law enforcement said Friedland intentionally left his phone at the airport.
“One of the scariest things for me is that Dani doesn’t know Houston. He has no friends or family here. He didn’t have his luggage, his credit card, his phone and I can’t imagine how scary that was,” Jordan said.
Family members and loved ones have flown in from all over the country to help find the missing mother.
Friedland is 5-foot-1, 100 pounds, and has brown eyes and brown hair. He was last seen wearing a blue puffy jacket with blue and orange stripes and blue jogger pants carrying a black duffel bag.
Investigators are reviewing video from the airport to see if they can get a sense of what happened to the mother. Law enforcement said Friedland intentionally left his phone at the airport and that he has no known family in Texas.
He has been diagnosed with depression, mood disorder psychosis, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder, police shared.

The family has been in Houston, handing out flyers in hopes someone will recognize him.
They have been working with churches and other community groups in the area to help find the mother and have visited a homeless encampment in Houston because of Friedland’s previous statement.
