AUSTIN, Texas (KTRK) — A search is underway in the Austin area for the 29-year-old daughter of former Houston Astros pitcher Greg Swindell, who pitched for the team from 1993 to 1996.
The Austin Police Department said Brenna Swindell was last seen with her ex-boyfriend Morgan Guidry on Thursday, Aug. 22, at Poodies Hilltop Bar in Spicewood, Texas, a 45-minute drive west of the state capital.
Guidry also had not been seen since, and police said their phones remain off.
Police describe Brenna Swindell as 5 feet 4 inches tall with tattoos on both arms. APD added that her vehicle is a 2022 Kia Carnival.
“Ms. Swindell has not been in usual contact with her family and friends. APD is concerned about her safety and immediate welfare,” an Austin police statement read.
In an update Monday afternoon, APD said the Travis County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the case. Anyone with information about Brenna Swindell is being asked to call 911 immediately or a tip line at 512-854-1444.
Greg Swindell, who retired in 2002 after 17 years in baseball, attended University of Texas at Austin and Sharpstown High School in Houston. He has yet to speak publicly about Brenna Swindell’s disappearance.

AUSTIN – Authorities in Austin are urgently seeking information on the whereabouts of 29-year-old Brenna Swindell, a single mother of three who has been missing since Thursday, Aug. 22.
Brenna was last seen in Austin, and her family became alarmed when they could no longer reach her and discovered that her phone had been turned off. Adding to the concern, Brenna’s white Kia Carnival, bearing Texas plates VFS7528, is also missing.
It is believed that Brenna may be in the company of her ex-boyfriend, Morgan Guidry. According to a Facebook post by Brenna’s family, sightings of Brenna’s vehicle were reported on I-25 in Colorado on Friday evening, with additional possible sightings in Colorado Springs on Sunday evening.
The Austin Police Department is leading the investigation, and efforts are being made to activate the GPS on Brenna’s vehicle to pinpoint its location. However, challenges remain as both Brenna’s and Morgan’s cell phones are turned off, making it difficult to trace their movements.
Greg Swindell, a Houston native, Texas Longhorn legend, and former Astros player, is actively involved in the search for his daughter Brenna. The family is urging anyone with information to come forward, emphasizing that Brenna would never willingly abandon her children, and they fear she may be in serious danger.
Brenna is described as 5′5″, weighing around 120 pounds, with brown shoulder-length hair often worn in a high ponytail. She has distinctive tattoos, including a sleeve with flowers on one arm and a spider web on her other shoulder.
If you have any information regarding Brenna Swindell or Morgan Guidry, please contact the Austin Police Department at 512-974-5000.
