57: MISSING: Jason Landry

Derrick Levasseur
About this episode
At around 11:00 pm on the night of December 13, 2020, 21-year-old Texas State University student Jason Landry left San Marcos, Texas, to drive back to his parents’ house. But he never made it home, and what happened next remains a mystery.

Just after midnight, on what was now December 14, Jason’s car was found wrecked on a desolate gravel road near Luling, Texas. His belongings—and the clothes he had been wearing while driving—were scattered along the road, but Jason himself was nowhere to be found.

Despite extensive searches and countless hours of investigation, no trace of Jason has been found since that night. It’s been more than three years since Jason went missing, and investigators are still searching for answers…

In the late hours of December 13th, 2020, into the early hours of December 14th, 21-year-old Jason Landry was involved in a car accident near 2365 Salt Flat Road, outside Luling, Texas. He hasn’t been seen since. 

At the time of his disappearance, Jason had medium-length brown hair, a goatee, and weighed around 170 pounds. He is white, 6’1”, with brown eyes.

If you have any information, you can contact the Texas Attorney General’s Office at 512-936-0742. There is a $20,000 reward for information. 

If you want to help search for Jason, a volunteer group holds monthly searches. You can email findjasonlandry@gmail.com for more information. And if you’d like to stay up to date with Jason’s case, please join his family’s Facebook group “Missing Person - Jason Landry”.
