Debra Killian, 64, of Nederland, Texas, was last seen on July 21, 2017. She walked away from her home on California Street after an argument at about 2:30 p.m., leaving behind her phone, identification, and money. Her husband reported her missing on July 24 after she failed to return; the family initially wasn’t alarmed because she sometimes left for a few days.

Debra was married in 1982 and had a history of mental health issues including bipolar disorder, which authorities note may have played a role in her disappearance. She was known locally for community service, especially helping the homeless. At the time she went missing she was wearing a light blue t-shirt and blue jeans, and was described as 4 feet 9 inches tall and about 177 pounds. Detectives say she may still be alive and possibly does not want to be found. Her case remains open with the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office.

If anyone knew Debra, saw her in July 2017, or has information that could help locate her, please contact the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office.
