AUSTIN, Texas — Editor's note: KVUE is following the latest updates surrounding Brenna Swindell here. The original story continues below.
The daughter of a former University of Texas baseball player has been found safe after she was reported missing on Aug. 22.
On Tuesday morning, the Travis County Sheriff's Office (TCSO) said 29-year-old Brenna Swindell "is alive and well."
According to the TCSO, she was with her ex-boyfriend, Morgan Guidry, who has since been arrested and taken into custody.
Swindell was located in Klamath Falls, Oregon. According to Sgt. Maury Smith, Swindell and Guidry were driving through the town at approximately 12:37 a.m. PST when law enforcement said the vehicle's license plate showed up as stolen.
The Klamath Falls Police Department performed a high risk stop, which is when they found Guidry's warrants and Swindell's missing person status.
Guidry was taken into custody. Swindell did not have any apparent injuries.
Brenna Swindell's father also shared a post to X, formerly known as Twitter, stating, "She has been found. That’s all we have for now. Thank you to everyone. And I mean everyone who helped in the process."
Background details
Before she was found safe, Brenna Swindell was last seen Thursday night, Aug. 22, at Poodie's Hilltop Roadhouse in Spicewood, about 25 miles west of Austin.
According to police, Brenna Swindell was at the bar with Guidry. Both of them had not been seen since that night and police said their phones had been turned off since Friday.
Their white 2022 Kia Carnival, with Texas license plate number VFS 7528, may have also been seen in Colorado. The Travis County Sheriff's Office took over the investigation.
Her father, former Houston Astros pitcher and Texas Longhorn Greg Swindell, and her mother, Sarah Swindell, had both been posting updates to their social media pages.
"Our daughter Brenna Swindell has not been seen or heard from in the Austin area since late Thursday afternoon," Sarah Swindell shared to Facebook on Sunday. "Her phone is off and she has not been in contact with family, friends and most importantly her children."
Arrest warrant filed for Brenna Swindell's ex
New details emerged Monday after an arrest warrant was filed the day after their disappearance.
The documents obtained by KVUE reveal Guidry is wanted in connection to an assault of a family member. The documents claim Guidry strangled his girlfriend multiple times with both hands on July 7, 2024. He also slammed his girlfriend's head on the ground and yanked her earring, causing her to bleed, according to the documents.
Guidry's girlfriend ran for the door to leave and knocked over a box of ammunition after Guidry allegedly grabbed his rifle. When deputies checked the home, Guidry and the rifle were gone, but loose ammo was spotted on the floor.
Brenna Swindell is not named in the document, but the Travis County Sheriff's Office confirmed that she was the victim of the incident.
KVUE spoke with Guidry's dad, Morgan Guidry Sr. over the phone on Aug. 26. He said his son left notes behind. One read "I went back to spend one last night with her." The other note read, "Off to travel the world heart Morgan + Brenna, see you on the other side."
His dad also said he did not believe it was a distressing situation and that he "loves and misses" his son.
