A Houston attorney is back in jail.
HOUSTON — A Houston attorney is back in jail after a judge revoked his bond Tuesday, as court records reveal for the first time that police are investigating the 2024 disappearance of a man who once lived with him as a potential homicide.
Sean Kennedy, who faces existing charges of organized criminal activity, was ordered to remain jailed until his trial in May after the judge ruled he had violated the conditions of his bond. Police and prosecutors also accuse Kennedy of harassing his next-door neighbors, who believe they were targeted because they provided evidence to authorities that may link Kennedy to the disappearance of 40-year-old Robert Bond.
Bond lived with Kennedy in a townhome near Houston’s Tanglewood neighborhood in 2024 before he vanished. Neither Bond nor his body has ever been found. Newly filed court records and search warrants show investigators are now treating that disappearance as a potential homicide.
Kennedy has not been charged in connection with Bond’s disappearance. His defense attorney, Anthony Osso, pushed back sharply on any suggestion that his client was involved.
“I think that’s a conspiracy theory by the complainants in this case,” Osso said.
“Honestly, I think the complainants are using both the Houston Police Department and the Harris County District Attorney’s office at their disposal right now, and those agencies are letting it happen.”
Kennedy will remain behind bars until his trial in May.
