Just my opinion of course. I do think he's outside the search area. I think he smoked some weed before he left for his trip home. Laced of course. In the half hour of his drive things started to kick in. He's starting to panic a little. My theory is he keeps driving around for an hour ... Maybe parks somewhere for a bit to get his bearings. Wonders around in his car for a hour. He is now on the road of where the crash happens. At this point...whatever his weed was laced with he is freaking out. The crash its self puts him in an altered state of mind...which he already is, but made it worse. After the accident he leaves. His adrenaline is crazy , and this is how he gets farther away that expected, even while hes naked. Then he succumbs to the cold. Only my thoughts and opinions
All the timing works with this theory. Whether he drove around for an hour or accidentally ended up on on SF Rd. and crashed right away—it works either way. And to me with this theory, everything is explained. Except exactly where he is of course.
Occam's razor keeps taking me back to:
JL heading home for Christmas break, arriving in Luling as planned, but instead of taking his turn to the HI-10 interchange, leading him directly to the Houston area, JL did not take the turn. Instead, he remained in Luling.
Did Jason take the Snapchat, and drive a short distance through the intersection, possibly to the cemetery on SFR where he could finish the Chat, and have a smoke in seclusion (i.e., weed illegal in TX)?
I think it more likely that JL was at the height of any effects of laced weed when he crashed, abandoned his vehicle, and stripped naked heading down the road. (Meaning, JL probably didn't partake in any bad stuff before leaving home).
I've always believed that JL has an unexpected reaction to a substance known or unknown to him. If JL was in an altered state leaving the cemetery, it could also explain why he mistakenly drove the wrong direction -- instead of heading back towards the intersection and H-10 interchange, JL drove further east on SFR where he eventually crashed.
MOO
