I beg your pardon, yes, I meant to write "There is no evidence
of amphetamines".

"I did notice the change in his appearance. IDK if that means anything. Lifestyle?."
It was the scheduled time for his learning institution to go on break.
(Possibly a reason why the kidnapper was waiting in that area).
Not going to be attending classes, so he let himself go scruffy.

Due to the covid restrictions at the time, he hadn't been able to attend classes. I don't think he'd attended any that semester. Anyway, I remember his father having spoke about the negative impact of the isolation.

I thought that was likely what you meant and that's a great point so such drugs are an assumption.

You should go edit and add a "no" to the amphetamine thing. If you can't or don't know how, a mod can probably do it for you.

There was something claimed that day before he left the other area/campus town, etc. I think that he was partying or did something with someone, or that he was known to or something but I don't trust any sources, no reason to yet in this one.

But I did not think there was evidence of drugs or amphetamines etc. in the car, on him, etc. other than pot which you confirmed. So other than clothes being found it is an assumption by people that that was the reason why.

Texas cold case: The search for Jason Landry continues

Three years on, the search for missing Texas State University student Jason Landry continues.

The news this week of Caleb Harris 21, a missing white male Texas college student, sparked a reader to reach out to highlight a missing person cold case from 2020, also white, also male of the same age, and a Texas college student named Jason Landry.

December 2023 marked the third anniversary since Landry went missing. The Texas attorney general, Ken Paxton, issued a statement on the cold case stating that in November 2023, multiple agencies met and reviewed the evidence.

“The panel thoroughly examined all parts of the case and concluded that all credible leads and investigative steps have been thoroughly pursued up to this point,” a portion of the statement read. “We consider this matter an ongoing and active investigation and encourage anyone with credible information about the case to contact the unit on the Texas Attorney General tips website.”

Attending college at Texas State University, Landry was driving to Missouri City an area near Houston for Christmas break. The last day he was seen was on Dec. 13, 2020 the next day his car was found crashed and abounded on a rural highway out side of Luling.

Some of Landry’s items were found near his abounded vehicle, according to KVUE in Austin. Landry’s clothes and his backpack were left behind, as were his laptop, gaming equipment, and personal items such as toiletries. This evidence was available to the public in 2020, and since then, theories have circled around that maybe he vanished on purpose, while others believe he is a victim of prey.

Paxton’s office is offering a $2,000 reward for any information leading to an arrest in the Landry case. Visit the Texas Attorney General website for more information, or to provide information on any missing persons case in Texas.

Jason Landry: Parents of missing man attend true crime convention

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Three and a half years have passed since the disappearance of 21-year-old Jason Landry.

His parents were recently at CrimeCon, a national convention about all things true crime.

<snip>

Jason's parents and volunteer searchers had a booth at CrimeCon.

"It was a good place to be, where everybody there was caring and encouraging and was very supportive, so it was a positive, impactful event," Lisa Landry, Jason's mother, said.

"It's kind of stunning when you meet families, there were families there that were 20, 30 plus years missing their loved ones and a lot of newer cases, too," Kent Landry, Jason's father, said.

CrimeCon was in Nashville at the beginning of June. Founder Kevin Balfe says it's about education advocacy.

"The origins of it were how to bring the newsmakers together with law enforcement, families, victims, and consumers of true crime and try to do something productive rather than just sort of watching stories," he said.

i don't like how this case was handled and how many just assume oh it's just some drugged up kid who felt hot, stripped his clothes off and yet they can't find his body. Etc., etc. Same thing goes on with drownings. And suicides. All of them need ANSWERS and real investigations. And ANY parent or family member DESERVES that. No one if the parent would just say oh, okay then. That's what happened, we will never find him or he and thank you ma'am, sir and I'm over it now.

The lack of people who care about some cases but then are full out nuts on some where all the players don't deserve the time of day flabbergasts me.

 

[GrandmaBear]

Sorry, I forgot to thank you for the update. I would LOVE to go to Crime Con if I were younger and could handle the logistics and the crowd, etc.

If whatever some assumed happened happened, then go FIND the body you don't end that kind of search. I cannot IMAGINE the grief of his family and ASSUMPTION of what happened. Well if it did,then he is there someWHERE!

Missing for the Holidays, a Season for Justice: Jason Landry
Parents of Jason Landry hold on to hope as search for missing son nears four-year mark

The Landry family has endured nearly four years of heartbreak since their son, Jason Landry, disappeared on December 13, 2020, while driving home for the holidays.

“I think, like with any parent, you never stop thinking, worrying, or caring about your children,” Jason’s father said. “When they’re gone like this, it just leaves an empty spot.”


Thanks to the efforts of Project Absentis, the case is now under the Texas Attorney General’s Cold Case and Missing Persons Unit, offering renewed hope. Still, the Landry family faces an emotional journey, compounded by false leads and the pain of the holidays without Jason.

Jason’s mother reflected on the lingering loss. “Do you guys still have presents wrapped for Jason?” Yami asked. “They’re still in his room. What do you do with them? We know they’re there.”

A vigil planned by volunteers will mark the fourth anniversary, as the Landry family continues to search for answers while holding onto hope.

They also have this message for whoever has the key to finding their son. "I think there is either someone or some people out there that have knowledge. They may not have specific knowledge about where Jason was, but they may have knowledge possibly where he was going, where he was, who he was meeting with, and who may have been following him that night. There, there's somebody out with knowledge and that can really help the case out," said Landry.

Both parents also know that Jason's case resonates with young people and this should serve as a cautionary tale.
