Caldwell County Sheriff's Office
Ok, I took the press release and snipped and bolded some parts and added my questions and analytical thoughts in
blue. If anyone wants to discuss.
Investigators have now gained access to
most of Jason’s phone and
computer data. Investigators are still waiting for some search warrants from
social media/ tech companies to be returned and will immediately process that data upon receipt.
We are asking the public’s assistance with any information which may further the investigation.
At 11:11 PM, Jason As Jason goes through the intersection of Hackberry St. where Hwy 80 becomes Austin St., Jason quits using the Waze application, and begins using the Snapchat application on his cell. Jason continues on Austin St. to the intersection with U.S. Hwy. 183 (Magnolia Ave.). It is believed that Jason continued straight through that intersection, continuing onto E. Austin. At this intersection, Jason’s digital footprint essentially stops.
It is believed that he continues on E. Austin onto Spruce St. which turns into Salt Flat Road. I wonder how and why they believe it continued on? Do they spot it on camera somewhere? Or is it just because of the location it ended up?
Jason’s vehicle is found abandoned in the 2300 block of Salt Flat Road at 31 minutes after Midnight on 12.14.20.
The approximate 67 minute window, between the last data footprint at Austin and Magnolia and the discovery of the crash scene, is what investigators are focusing on.
Jason’s phone had cell signal and was powered on, investigators are still trying to determine why it doesn’t appear to have been used since the area of Magnolia Ave. and Austin St.
Which makes sense to question this because if he was using Waze before he started using Snapchat why wouldn’t he go back to using Waze? Something happened at that intersection. I’m not sure he was ever in that car alone again.
The
volunteer firefighter, who discovered Jason’s abandoned vehicle, did not enter the vehicle. The Trooper who responded to the scene, almost an hour later, also did not enter the vehicle.
Are they telling this to squash questions about dogs scent problems?
Jason’s vehicle has been processed for DNA and any blood evidence with the assistance of the Texas Rangers. There was no evidence of blood inside the vehicle.
Someone else’s DNA wouldn’t tell anything correct? Could they run all prints found?
There is
no evidence that Jason
was traveling to meet with or had communicated intent to meet with anyone in or around Luling.
I’m going to analyze it’s like we always do statements from LE. They say there is no evidence because they have no evidence right now. This does not mean that they will not ever have evidence. They also stated they do not have access to all of his social media. To me it’s possible they don’t have access to Snapchat and that could easily be where a meet up was arranged.
At this time, there is no evidence that an unknown person of interest is involved in this incident and investigators believe that there is no threat to our community.
Again, “at this time”
Investigators have reviewed hundreds of hours of video from cameras in and around Luling, none of which have produced any evidentiary findings.
I’m guessing they mean during that 67 minutes? Guessing they have video somewhere of him being alone in car.
Members of the public, who have
game cameras on private property, or private surveillance video from the area, are encouraged to review that as soon as possible. You may contact our office for assistance in reviewing video, if needed.
Yep, I suggested that as did others here. Too bad it wasn’t suggested during the search. I personally can find landowners nearby posting game camera video so I know it’s out there. There’s also an app that shows deer blinds in the area. Does anybody have that one?
Please review the most current missing person flyer, with an updated picture showing Jason within an hour of him going missing.

My thoughts on hiring these two PI firms that have extensive FBI backgrounds. They suspect or know that this is drug related and with the recent huge FBI stings involving cartels in and around Caldwell county I’m going to bet this could be related.
I also hope that they have spoken to anyone he had the Venmo transactions with.
