BREAKING NEWS: MISSING CHRISTINA JOHNSON FOUND

After moving back to Houston, Christina Johnson has been staying with her dad.

Her normal routine includes her Max, her 10-year-old mix breed dog. Johnson rarely goes anywhere without her canine best friend. Each morning, Christina grabs her laptop and takes Max for a walk to a nearby Jack-in-the-box, or they go to the Hackberry Community Center.

Johnson's family says Christina and Max are often gone all day long but are always back before evening.

On March 6, Christina left with Max as she usually does, but they didn't come back home, according to her father, Emmanuel Johnson. He reports his daughter missing and begins searching for her. Johnson says Christina would never stay away this long and believes she might be held against her will.

Then a shocking discovery: In a neighborhood seven miles away from the Johnson home, Callie Clemens, driving in a ferocious downpour, spots a dog similar to Max, wandering around all alone.

She has seen reports of Christina and Max missing and calls Max by name.

Now BREAKING News as we go to air, Emmanuel Johnson tells us his daughter has been found. Listen to his reaction.
