Sarah Swindell, Brenna's mother, also wrote that Brenna's ex-boyfriend, Morgan Guidry, with whom she was last seen, was also found.

The Austin Police Department's Missing Persons Unit said she was last seen at Poodies Hilltop Bar in Spicewood, according to FOX 7 Austin.

Greg and Sarah Swindell have shared updates on their Facebook pages since their daughter's disappearance. Her vehicle had reportedly been spotted in Colorado and possibly Idaho.
