Daughter of ex-MLB pitcher Greg Swindell found ‘alive and well’ in Oregon after search
Brenna’s disappearance led to a multi-state search for the 29-year-old mother of three who was reported missing by police in Austin on Monday morning.
The daughter of a former MLB pitcher was found alive and well Tuesday morning in Oregon. This comes after the 29-year-old mother of three was reported missing by her family in Austin leading to a multi-state search for her.
Brenna Swindell was missing from the Austin area since Thursday, her mother, Sarah Swindell said in a Facebook Post. She is the daughter of longtime MLB pitcher Greg Swindell, who played for the University of Texas and had a 17-year career in the MLB.Police found Brenna Swindell with her ex-boyfriend, Morgan Guidry, in her car at about 1 a.m., Tuesday in Klamath Falls, Oregon, according to a press release from the Travis County Sheriff’s Office.
“This is the news we were desperately hoping and praying for. I’m relieved that Brenna has been found and is safe. I’m so grateful to everyone who contributed their efforts to finding her, across the Travis County area and outside the state of Texas,” Travis County Sheriff Sally Hernandez said.
Klamath Falls is about 16 miles north of the Oregon-California border.
Swindell’s boyfriend accused of assault
Police said Guidry was arrested on a Travis County sheriff’s office warrant charging him with assaulting and strangling Brenna Swindell, a third-degree felony. According to officials, Guidry remains in custody as of Tuesday.
Police said the assault took place on July 7, when deputies with the sheriff’s office responded to calls of a family disturbance involving Brenna Swindell and Guidry. But Brenna Swindell did not decide to press charges until Aug. 20, the sheriff’s office said.
This led to a warrant for Guidry’s arrest for Assault/Family Violence/House Member Impeding Breath/Circulation which is a third-degree felony.
The multi-state search for Brenna Swindell came after Travis County deputies conducted a welfare check at her apartment on Saturday at her parents’ request, but did not find either her or her car.
Greg Swindell reported her missing on Sunday.
“She has been found,” Greg Swindell said in a post on the social platform X, formerly known as Twitter on Tuesday morning. “That’s all we have for now. Thank you to everyone. And I mean everyone who helped in the process.”
According to the Austin Police Department, Brenna Swindell and her former boyfriend, Morgan Guidry, were last seen together at about 10:20 p.m. Thursday at Poodies Hilltop Roadhouse in Spicewood, Texas, about 35 miles northwest of Austin. Law enforcement tracked her white 2022 Kia Carnival with the Texas license plate VFS 7528 to Colorado by Friday evening.
Who is Greg Swindell?
Brenna’s father Greg Swindell was a longtime pitcher who played for the University of Texas and pitched in the MLB for 17 years.
Swindell was also a one-time All-Star with the Cleveland Indians, now Guardians, and a World Series Winner with the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2001. He also played for the Cincinnati Reds, Houston Astros, Minnesota Twins, and the Boston Red Sox.
A Texas native, Swindell was born in Fort Worth.
A 73-year-old man was sentenced on Tuesday to 20 years in prison for the 1983 killing of his then-girlfriend. It was a case that went unsolved for more than 40 years.
The sentence was announced by Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield.
In July 1983, Teresa Peroni, 27, was reported missing after attending a party in the Selma area of Josephine County southwest of Grants Pass. She was last seen walking in the woods with her boyfriend Marcus Sanfratello.
Authorities deemed Peroni’s disappearance suspicious, but they lacked evidence to bring charges against anyone.
In 1997, a human skull was found on private property near where Peroni disappeared. In 2024, authorities in Josephine County reopened the case. In addition to re-interviewing witnesses, they collected new DNA evidence to build a case against Sanfratello.
With the DNA, experts at the University of North Texas confirmed the skull was Peroni’s.

A grand jury indicted Sanfratello of second-degree murder, on June 27, 2025.
Police arrested Sanfratello in Chico, California the next day. He was then extradited to Oregon to face the charge of murder.
Under a plea agreement, Sanfratello pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter.
He will serve at least 10 years in prison, Oregon’s attorney general’s office said.
“For Teresa Peroni’s family, this has been a 43-year wait for an answer they never should have had to wait for,” Rayfield said in a news release. “Cases like this remind us of why we don’t give up. It doesn’t matter how many years have passed — if someone took a life, we’re going to keep working until we can hold them accountable.”

The Oregon Ducks are set for one of the biggest timelines of their recruiting cycle, as many top targets are nearing commitments. This time around, the Ducks have a ton of top targets still remaining on their board compared to past seasons, as the Ducks have eight total commitments at this time.
Oregon coach Dan Lanning and his staff still need to land a safety commitment, but three-star safety Elijah Butler out of Maryland recently included the Ducks in his final six schools.
Oregon Target Elijah Butler Makes Exciting Recruiting Announcement
Butler announced his top six schools ahead of a crucial part of his recruitment, according to a graphic by Leyton Roberts. The Ducks made the cut alongside the Maryland Terrapins, Virginia Tech Hokies, Auburn Tigers, Florida Gators, and the Alabama Crimson Tide. The talented prospect would be a great addition for any of these teams, as they could all use a safety prospect at this point in the recruiting timeline.
Butler is from the state of Maryland, which makes the Terrapins one to watch.
It is also worth noting that he has been labeled as one of the best players in the state of Maryland, as he currently ranks as the state’s No. 9 prospect, according to Rivals. This is important as the Terrapins have always made solid attempts to land their in-state stars, including last season when they landed one of the better players in the state’s history, Zion Elee.
As of now, the prospect hasn’t been predicted to land with any of these schools, which means it is likely still a tight race entering the official visit schedule. He has yet to schedule an official visit with all of the schools he has listed in his top six, as he is still missing three key official visits. Butler has scheduled official visits with Alabama, Auburn, and Florida, according to 247Sports. This means he still needs to set one with Oregon, Virginia Tech, and Maryland if he wants to take one to each school.
If the Ducks are able to get Butler on a visit, then they would likely be in a more favorable position to land his commitment, as it currently. seems they are one of the trailing teams from this list. It seems highly unlikely that the Ducks will gain his commitment unless they get him on an official visit, which is still possible at this point, as plenty of top prospects across the nation are still scheduling their official visits.
As of now, the Ducks have 27 prospects set to take an official visit, according to 247Sports. Among all of the prospects who have scheduled a visit thus far, only one of the players is listed as a safety. That player is a three-star target, Junior Tu’upo. This leads one to believe that the Ducks could try to get Butler on a visit, or at a minimum, pitch their program to the prospect from St Frances Academy.
