NYPD reported the person was found unconscious and unresponsive “in the streets with no apparent injuries.” They didn’t have an ID.

Landry’s family posted on Facebook, saying detectives with the Texas Attorney General’s Office have contacted the New York Police Department and “necessary id information” for Landry has been sent to New York.

Wow. True about the eyebrows but there has been some passage of time and he has been somewhere IF it is him. Former pictures of him show a clean shaven preppy looking kid AND a more unkempt "kid".

I've never been okay with this one. I don't feel like the overall assumptions are necessarily correct... That being said, NY is a long way from Texas and if it is him, he sure stayed off the radar somehow or something odd happened...

Volunteers turn Jason Landry missing banners into tote bags for fundraiser​

Volunteers found a new way to keep spreading the word about finding a Texas State student missing for almost two years.

The VFW Buda Post 12161 posted on Facebook that neighbors recently made tote bags from two banners that had asked for the community’s help in locating Jason Landry.

A Facebook page dedicated to bringing awareness to Landry’s case shared that the banners previously displayed his photos, a hotline to report tips and information about a $10,000 reward. They came down and got stored in a closet, the post read, after remaining on display for six months at a spot in downtown Luling. The VFW post’s volunteers then cleaned them and repurposed them to make 50 bags of different sizes.

If someone would like to get one of the bags, volunteers are asking people to donate anywhere from $25-40, which will ultimately help pay for additional banners to go up soon in San Marcos and on other property in the area. People interested in them can find the necessary contact information through the Missing Person – Jason Landry Facebook page.

SAN MARCOS, Texas - It has been more than a year and a half since Texas State student Jason Landry went missing and many are still spreading information and actively searching for him.

"The unknown is really hard on the family because we don't know what happened and having to go to bed every night just wondering where he is or what happened to him, how he might have suffered or where he is and if he's okay," Jason Landry’s aunt Donna Egenolf said.

Investigators said Jason Landry disappeared on December 13, 2020, driving from San Marcos to his parent’s Houston-area home. On December 14, a volunteer firefighter found Landry’s car crashed and abandoned, but so far, no Landry.

"I used to think that the worst thing a parent can experience is losing their child, but I've learned that it's not. It's not knowing," Catherine Shellman said.


Shellman said her daughter, who went to Texas State, was murdered in 2010. "I feel like I couldn't help Tiffany, so when I heard about Jason missing, I thought you know, here's another Texas State student, and he's so young, and he's missing, people don't just disappear, where is he, what can I do to help," she said.

On Saturday, a new sign was hung from the Wake of the Dead Coffee House in San Marcos.

"This street and this gas station and this area gets a lot of people coming and going, and we're hoping they'll see the sign, and it will job something in their memory, you know what, he is still missing, and I remember this small thing, so let's call the Attorney General's phone number and share whatever information we have," Shellman said.

AUSTIN (KXAN) — A GoFundMe was created to raise a $20,000 reward to help find missing Texas State student Jason Landry. The reward was originally set at $10,000 in May 2021 — five months after Landry’s disappearance.

“At the time of his disappearance, Jason was a 21-year-old college student whose car was found crashed and unoccupied in Luling, Texas. It was on the eve of December 13, 2020; and it is believed he was traveling from his college apartment in San Marcos, TX, to his hometown of Missouri City, TX,” the GoFundMe page said.

#TwoYearsIsTooLong | Retired FBI agents find evidence Jason Landry may have been a crime victim

Landry is the Texas State student who disappeared near Luling on Dec. 13, 2020, on his way home to Missouri City for Christmas break. The reward is now $20,000.

#TwoYearsIsTooLong | Retired FBI agents find evidence Jason Landry may have been a crime victim​

It was the night of Dec. 13, 2020, when Texas State student Jason Landry loaded up his car and headed home to the Houston area to spend time with his family for the holidays.

Jason's parents in Missouri City were looking forward to having all of their adult children home for Christmas. They never dreamed their lives were about to be turned upside down.

Jason never made it home. His wrecked car was found abandoned on Salt Flat Road near Luling in Caldwell County early the next morning. His backpack, clothing and other personal items were found nearby, but there was no sign of Jason.

A state trooper made the call no parent wants to get. Jason's wrecked car and some belongings had been found.

“We’re working on trying to locate him and I fear that he may be on some type of substance," the trooper told Jason's mother. "Reason being is because I did find some narcotics in his backpack.”

His father, Kent Landry, immediately drove to the rural area where the car crashed. While searching for signs of his son, Kent found his clothes still lying in the middle of the road.

"It just feels like your child is discarded, because they treat everything with this investigation with such indifference. You don’t even secure the evidence, whatever it might be?" Kent told KHOU 11 after two years and no answers. "You don’t secure the car and the crash scene for further investigation? You don’t even do the basics – that is your job."

While the local sheriff's office believes Jason walked away from the car on his own and "no crime occurred," a retired FBI agent and his team of investigators strongly disagree. KHOU 11 reporter Grace White spoke with the agent, the sheriff's office lead investigator and Jason's dad.

LULING, Texas — Police are investigating after a Luling resident said their dog found a human skull and brought it back to their yard.

The Luling Police Department got the call around 5:45 p.m. Thursday from a resident on Hackberry Avenue.

The homeowner told police that the dog had been bringing bones back to the yard for about a week. They had been collecting the bones in a plastic bag, thinking they were animal bones.

Just over two years ago, Texas State University student Jason Landry crashed in Luling and then disappeared. While the police department did not specifically mention Landry by name in the press release, they said they notified the Attorney General’s Office about the discovery due to “the close proximity to a high-profile missing person case in Caldwell County.”

Also from the article....sorry, I missed this first time around. :(

The department submitted photos of the remains to the Attorney General’s Office cold case unit. Two anthropologists studied the photos and said they do not believe the remains are related to the “aforementioned missing person case.”

LULING, Texas - It's been over two years and still no signs of Jason Landry, the Texas State University student who disappeared in December 2020.

<snip>
This weekend the volunteer search group walked over 13 miles searching for any sign of Jason. The team brought in boots on the ground searchers and human remains detection dogs.

"If one of the dogs shows interests in an area, they'll radio us and we'll get a bunch of team members and go out and we'll search. We'll look in that area. So every time we feel like we get a little bit closer, it gives us more and more hope and more energy. It revitalizes us. And again, we won't stop," says Shellman.

Catherine and Cyndi have been searching for Jason since he disappeared.

HOUSTON — A new highly specialized team of investigators is taking on missing persons cases across Texas inspired by Jason Landry, a Houston-area college student who vanished in 2020.

Justin McInnis, the president and CEO of Texas Search and Rescue (TEXSAR), said the group has played a big role in the search for Landry.

“Missing persons is near and dear to us," he said. "That’s what kind of brought upon the Missing Persons Unit, going through the Jason Landry case."

So, TEXSAR hired a retired Texas Ranger, Todd Snyder, to help them out.

“Almost 30 years in law enforcement and 19 of those years with the Texas Ranger, you get a lot of experience and work some of the most heinous crimes that are out there," Snyder said.
Snyder leads TEXSAR's Missing Persons Unit.

“Search parties, ground search teams, whether that’s K9s, aerial assets, even now a mounted unit,” he said, listing the resources TEXSAR has available.

The group's goal is to bring home missing people, like Jason Landry.
