A reporter for a Texas college football team who mysteriously went missing on the weekend was found on Monday, Jan. 8, Houston police said.
Officers found Courtney Roland, 29, near the Houston Galleria mall. They said that she appeared “unharmed” in an updated Tweet and said that she would be taken to a hospital for evaluation.
Her father, Steve Roland, said that police called him on Monday from a Chick-fil-A but he was not sure if that’s where police found her. As of writing authorities had not specified the exact location where she was discovered.
Further details surrounding the cause of her disappearance were not immediately disclosed.
Roland covers Texas A&M football for AggieYell.com and Rivals.com, her Twitter account states. She was first reported missing late Saturday night on Jan. 6. after telling a friend that she was being followed by someone, the Houston Chronicle reported.
The roommate said she and Courtney were meant to meet up on Sunday but she never heard back from her again.
Courtney’s mother said she received a strange text from her phone that said "hello the owner of this phone Courtney. I am buying an iPad,” according to Click 2 Houston.
The roommate also said that Courtney’s vehicle had been broken into just six weeks ago. Adding that she had been on high alert since the incident.
Before she was found, many people took to Twitter to use the hashtag #HelpFindCourtney in an effort to locate her. Gov. Greg Abbott was among them.
