Two people from Temple, Texas — Michael Swearingin, 32, and Jenna Scott, 28 — are missing and a car they were in was found abandoned in Austin, Texas. No one has heard from them since very early Friday morning, and their friends and family are hoping anyone with information will come forward.

Michael and Jenna were last seen in a gray Hyundai Genesis, CBS Austin reported. The two had gone to Austin to hang out with friends, KCENTV reported.

But the car was found in Austin and the two were nowhere to be seen. The car was found on East 12th Street and Poquito Street, KXAN reported. The map above shows roughly where the car was found. Michael’s phone was found a block away, KCENTV noted.

The car was found by friends using tracking services. Jenna’s brother Talon said on Facebook that the car was seen with the doors unlocked and in a neighborhood they would not have gone to. Richie Davis, one of Michael’s friends, said on Facebook that the car had been parked with the doors unlocked for more than 24 hours before they found it. Davis said the phone stopped tracking around the corner from where the car was found.
