Authorities recovered Roland’s Jeep early Monday morning but the 29-year-old remains missing. Her disappearance comes shortly after she sent an alarming message to a her roommate.
Roland’s roommate told KPRC that Roland texted her about a suspicious man she saw in Walgreens who was following her.

Roland’s mother says she also received a text from her daughter’s phone, reading: “hello the owner of this phone Courtney. I am buying an iPad.”
