Reporter disappears after telling friend she was being followed by 'suspicious man'

Friends said Roland was wearing an orange Remington hat and a camouflage fleece jacket, before she disappeared. Her Jeep later was found with her phone and other personal items inside.

Ms Roland went missing on the weekend. Our officers arrived, confirmed it was her and arranged she be checked at an area hospital.

Roland covers Texas A&M athletics for Rivals, a Yahoo!-owned online publication focusing on college sports.

Friends told the Chronicle they last heard from Roland early Sunday morning, when she texted her roommate about a blue truck she said was following her after she left a Walgreens.

The family of a 29-year-old sports reporter said she vanished after being followed by a suspicious man, according to multiple reports. The roommate said the blue truck looped back around and parked behind her and Roland got out of her auto and the truck sped off. She appeared to be unharmed, Houston police tweeted. The address where she was found was not provided by police.

A United States journalist who has been missing since Saturday was anxious "she was being followed by a blue truck", according to social media.

Police said they believe her confusion to be a result of a reaction to medication.

On Sunday, Courtney's mother reportedly received a unusual text from her daughter's phone.

Vara should meet soon thereafter with Roland, however she didn't appear.

Her disappearance Saturday after covering a football camp for top athletes prompted family and friends to use social media as a platform to find her, and Gov. Greg Abbott on Sunday retweeted a plea to help search for her with the hashtag #HelpFindCourtney. Her purse - which contained an iPad, computer, and credit cards - was found intact somewhere inside the mall, according to KHOU.
