Very mysterious disappearance.

He was involved in a car crash but there was absolutely no trace of him at the scene. Apparently dogs picked up his scent and lead authorities to a nearby pond. They drained the pond and found nothing.

Has anyone heard anything else?

For those of you who haven’t heard about this, here’s an article.

Was a Texas State student. He went missing down a fairly out of the way area near Luling, I think. Did read they found his backpack not far from the car with his playstation or something. Also rumors of drugs found, but pretty sure that was just rumors.

Something similar happened a few years ago to a guy on the Westbank. Got into a one car accident then called his brother. His brother went to the scene and the guy was no where to be found. A couple of years later some one reported seeing him and he looked like a homeless guy.. As far as I know the guy is still missing..

Edit.. The guys name is Shane Fell

I believe this kids dad is a pastor on the sw Houston suburbs. Haven't seen any updates since the original story came out but they searched the area his car was found in quite extensively and couldn't find him. Praying for the parents.

Copied this from another site from 1/18:

Posted today on the church Facebook page:

Kent recently spoke with Bobby Horecka at the Luling Newsboy about Jason's disappearance. The article is below for those asking for an update...

Investigators still searching for missing Texas State student

By BOBBY HORECKA

"The Caldwell County Sheriff's Office continues the search for 21-year-old Jason Landry, who went missing along an isolated country road outside Luling a month ago while headed home to his parents' place near Houston.

The young man is believed to have been involved in a single-car collision in the 2300-block of Salt Flat Road sometime during the overnight hours of Sunday, Dec. 13, 2020.

Investigation of the accident scene led authorities to believe that Landry was able to walk away from the accident with little or no injury. His cell phone, wallet and several other personal items were left behind inside the vehicle, investigators said, and a backpack containing a few clothing items and other personal items was found in the roadway, some 900 feet south of the accident scene.

Law enforcement officers, volunteers and search specialists have scoured the more than 20,000-acre area surrounding the crash scene, searching for any clues to his whereabouts. Investigators are also now actively searching online records, in hopes of finding a digital footprint that may lead to finding him.

Texas Search and Rescue TEXSAR conducted an extensive, several day search of the area, in which more than 3,900 acres were searched by foot, horse and canine units, and another 16,900-plus acres was searched by air, using drones, fixed-wing planes and helicopters.

Landry's family and friends have not seen or heard from him since before the Dec. 13 accident, and his whereabouts remain unknown.

Kent Landry, Jason's father, visited recently with The Newsboy about his son's disappearance.

He described Jason as a kind and trusting young man, the youngest of three children in the Landry household, where his father, a former trial attorney, pastors the Southminster Presbyterian Church in Missouri City.

Jason is a junior at Texas State University in San Marcos, where he was working to land a degree in the school's top-rated sound recording program. Just this spring, in fact, Jason's auditions to formally enter the highly competitive music program were scheduled in coming weeks, his father said.

Jason loves music, his father said, and he was just starting to write some of his own songs.

"I don't care what their age, parents never stop worrying about their children, any time they walk out of our door," Kent Landry said. "Jason's disappearance, especially during the Christmas season, has been difficult on all of us, and like most any parent, we just want to know what happened. It's been like a bad dream that just won't end."

Complicating the search have been misleading and untruthful reports from some media sources about items found at the scene. Those have greatly upset the family these last few weeks, his father said.

"The important thing to remember is that Jason our son is still missing," he said, pleading with the public to "help fill any holes in the timeline" that might help locate his son, for better or worse.

"We just want to find out what happened," he said. "He's an amazing kid, and I hope you get to meet him sometime soon. We're all still praying for the best."

Anyone with information is urged to contact Detective Jeff Ferry with the Caldwell County Sheriff's Office. He can be reached at (512) 398-6777, Ext. 4516, or by email at Jeff.Ferry@co.caldwell.tx.us."
