Happy Memorial Day you guys and gals.
just joined this site, as I was looking for JL updates and theories.
I live in Houston and on a recent trip to San Antonio a friend and I stopped in Luling to retrace his path through Luling and on Salt Flat Road.
Salt Flat Road (to those who haven’t seen it or driven on it personally:
1. It starts out paved, then as it turns to gravel there are numerous deep pot holes. A right minded person, in my opinion would have turned around at that point, especially in a small Nissan. I was in a Chevy Tahoe. If he was being chased down that road his suspension would have been ****** well before the crash site.
2. Further down the road is well maintained
3. No houses on that road. Nothing but oil wells and oil workers. One worker actually stopped and asked if we needed help when we had stopped at the crash site.
So ya, I think a right minded person would have turned around much sooner. The drive from Luling to the crash site is a good 8-10 minute drive.
anyways let’s keep this discussion going...
Really interesting observations!
If we can trust the timeline -- JL's last KNOWN location and the witness who didn't see his car and the witness who called it in -- there's quite a bit of time left without explanation.
Was Jason with someone during that time? Perhaps planned via Snapchat.
Or... did Jason, having missed the turn, continued on unaware, and then made aware, did he continue thinking he was angling in line with the right road? Might he have turned and turned and turned again and then got woefully tangled? So he was driving a little bit in circles before swerving and crashing? (Deer seems likely.)
Might Jason have kept his phone on or near his backpack so, when he grabbed his backpack, he thought he had his phone? Walks a distance, digging for his phone. Spills out his day outfit (the shorts and T he had been wearing before he crammed it in his bag, as laundry)? Then walked back toward the car, chucking the backpack altogether? Why?
IF Jason spent more time driving those country roads, lost, was NOT wearing the discarded clothes while driving, swerved to miss a deer, he'd have been largely uninjured....and clothed.... and within the 900 feet of his car.... did he leave on foot and just get more lost?
Seems to me he got a ride out of there or he's still there. That's it. One or other. And somehow NEITHER seems likely.
Oh, Jason, where are you?
