Reporter found after going missing in Houston

Source: CBS News

Police found a sports reporter Monday morning who had gone missing in the Houston area. CBS affiliate KHOU reports that police found 29-year-old Courtney Roland's Jeep Cherokee near the Galleria mall just after midnight on Sunday.

Police said on Twitter Monday morning that she was found in the same area and appeared to be unharmed but was taken to a hospital to be evaluated.

Police later said that Roland was found under an overpass. A passerby who had seen news coverage of her disappearance called police at around 8:15 a.m., and officers were able to confirm her identity.

KHOU-TV reports that Roland, who last seen wearing a camouflage fleece sweater and an orange hat, was last heard from Saturday around 4 p.m. She texted a roommate, telling her a suspicious man at a Walgreens was following her. The man followed her in a blue truck all the way home, but then he allegedly drove off when she got out.

but ... hiding out under an overpass?

'I'll just blend in like a homeless person for awhile until things cool off.'

Lots of holes in that theory.

I lived in Houston for many years, and I would not wander that area alone after dark.
