Retired baseball player said his daughter has been found safe after being reported missing.

“She has been found 🙏🏼. That’s all for now,” Swindell shared via Facebook on Tuesday, August 27. “Thanks to EVERYONE who got involved. Sarah Swindell and I and our family and extended family thanks you.”

The former MLB pitcher — who played for several teams during his lengthy career, including the Houston Astros and Minnesota Twins — shared a call for help via social media to find his 29-year-old daughter on Monday, August 26.

“Our daughter Brenna Swindell has not been seen or heard from in the Austin area since late Thursday afternoon,” Greg, 59, wrote alongside a photo of Brenna and her ex-boyfriend . “Her phone is off and she has not been in contact with family, friends, and most importantly her children. Her ex-boyfriend in the photo has a warrant and is violent so PLEASE if you have seen or heard from either one of them, let us know.”

Brenna, who is a single mother of three children, had last been seen at a Spicewood, Texas, bar called Poodies Hilltop Roadhouse on Thursday, August 22. Her cell phone was turned off and her car was spotted in Colorado. She was believed to be with Guidry.

The Travis County Sheriff confirmed that Brenna was found “alive and well” with Guidry, who was arrested.

Prior to the arrest, an assault warrant was issued against Guidry stemming from an April 7 incident. Per court documents obtained by Fox 7, Austin’s local Fox affiliate, Brenna alleged that Guidry tried to strangle her and slammed her head to the floor. She allegedly sustained serious head injuries, including a bleeding ear. The docs allege that Guidry also had a rifle and threatened to kill her and fled the scene with the gun.

Guidry’s father, Morgan Guidry Sr., defended his son in an interview with Fox 7 on Monday. “This isn’t under duress at all. He isn’t a violent individual … He’s super chill,” he said.

Guidry Sr. added, “They decided to make a run for the [Canadian] border…it was a bad call.”
