"Replying to @Perroni247 and @CourtneyRivals
Is the iPad purchase text still valid?

We don’t think so. All ipads, phones and computers found"

[FONT=&amp]It also said that Roland's mother received a text on Sunday from missing daughter’s phone number saying: "Hello the owner of this phone Courtney. I am buying an iPad."

This text about the ipad is just weird - I'm guessing Brian means that the purchase part of the text isn't valid, but what is the deal with the text? Ramblings of someone having a breakdown or some bizaare game-playing by an abductor?

It kind of sounds like automated text - like a computer-generated message where it fills in the person's name?

Very wierd....

I'm worried that Courtney may be unwell, like brain tumor or something...I really hope she is okay.

Eta: I haven't seen it reported anywhere yet if she has any known medical conditions...
 
Hmmmm I was just reading reddit and someone thought maybe voice to text i.e. the owner of this phone Courtney...is being abducted (sounds like a muffled i bought an ipad).

That's a really interesting thought - does it show on either the sender or receiver's phone if it was a voice to text message?
 
My fear is that her car was dumped there last night/early Sunday morning. And the sighting of her today at 5:45pm is not accurate (maybe someone thoooought it was her)...I hope this doesn't turn out to be the case!
 
Video of her car found at galleria. Looks like it has damage to the driver side. https://twitter.com/courtneyabc13/status/950324758285049858

Phone found inside the car
Bag with ipad etc found inside the galleria
Dent in side of car

Thanks for posting. Been waiting for KHOU since Wiley tweeted BP.

Iirc, she had a dent on the left side? Looking for post.

Eta:

"Her Cherokee has a dent on the left side, friends said on Facebook.

Roland was at a tryout for Team Texas Elite, a travel football club, earlier Saturday. The team tweeted about her disappearance on Sunday, writing, “Folks if any had seen Courtney Roland with Rivals we need to know… last seen at TTE tryouts at 4:10 pm.”"

Search for missing sports journalist continues after police find her Jeep

"HOUSTON – Just after midnight Sunday police found 29-year-old Courtney Roland’s Jeep Cherokee in the Galleria area, but Roland remained missing as of Monday morning.

Police say the woman's phone was found inside the vehicle. Her purse with an iPad, computer and credit cards were also all found intact somewhere inside the Galleria."
 
Nothing's adding up...phone in the car and other items inside the Galleria?? Dent on the left car panel?

It's hard to tell in the video if the dent is like a scrape (i.e. sideswiping something) or pushed in (i.e. someone pushed against the panel)

Edit: or maybe the dent was from when her car was broken into?
 
"Brian Perroni, a reporter with sports news site 247Sports and who described himself as a family friend, told NBC News that Roland’s car, purse and phone were found in the Galleria mall area Sunday afternoon."

"Another friend, Autumn Vara, posted an appeal for help on Facebook.

Roland was last seen at 11:50 p.m. local time Saturday, Vara said.

“The last communication was via text at 12:30 am 1/7/18. She was concerned that she was being followed by a blue truck leaving Walgreens. Last heard wearing Remington hat and camo and in a white Jeep Cherokee.”"
