Someone made a ransom call on the day her brother went missing. Their cousin said the caller used Johnson’s phone to place the call to one of his neighbors. The neighbor said that the caller demanded $25,000 from Johnson’s brother or they’d kill Johnson.

Police aren’t calling Johnson’s disappearance a kidnapping because he willingly got into the vehicle before it sped away.
