TX TX - Jason Landry, 21, en route from TSU to home, car found crashed at Luling, 14 Dec 2020

If EquuSearch has suspended its search, why isn't LE allowing volunteers from the public to search at this point? Also, why have we heard nothing from Jason's friends? The quiet is odd.

Apparently they have searched about 20,000 acres so far and without any evidence that points to a specific location, volunteer searchers probably don't know where else to look. Imo

I beleive it's not quite that easy. All that land has to be privately owned and if I am a correct, searchers would need express permission from each landowner to search their land. Not sure how it is in Texas, but that can cause alot of liability issues. I remember this being an issue in other cases, specifically Brandon Lawson's case.

I hope the family hasn't had bad news. What a way to spend the holiday. Did EquuSearch say they were suspending the search indefinitely or just for the night?

ETA I just read that Eccusearch said they are waiting on information from LE for a more specific area to search. It seems they have searched very thoroughly, with about six different agencies involved. This is not looking good at all.

Yeah, it's almost like TE doesn't believe he is around the area. They obviously have more info than they are putting out there with the cell phone records, social media, family interviews, etc. so it makes me think they have some plausible scenarios in mind.

Following the initial accident and on foot, Landry may have been struck by a second auto, fatally injuring him. The driver perhaps panicked and disposed of Landry's body.

I've considered this too and this is the only thing that makes sense in my mind.

This too. Outside of someone hitting him ....which could easily happen on a dark county road.....I would bet money that LE has more info than they're releasing at this point.

This is very concerning. If he is lying injured somewhere his chances of survival are diminishing. I hope he's found soon.

This brings to mind the case of Tanya Ryder / my post on that here:

She had a car accident and searchers passed her many many times. She was just off the highway under a bridge embankment thing totally covered by leaves. On Day 8, her husband was brought into the Police Dept and in his words (paraphrasing) was being grilled and about to be charged. It was at that moment they got the call that she and her vehicle had been found and that she was alive. If they had gotten to her any later, she would have died.

Eta: When was the last time they ran thermal copters?

I wonder if he’s just outside the 2 mile radius TES searched.

Terribly sad...
But on Sunday, Landry’s father said he was open to the possibility his son may not be found alive.

I don’t have a definite answer however according to updates given by the church on Monday “helicopters, drones..” & “aerial assets” were being used then.

I remember that case! Hoping for a miracle for Jason, too.

It's interesting that five dogs led searchers to the nearby pond. I wonder how far it is from the scene of the crash.

I share your fear. Another cold front is pushing its way through the south tonight, I hope they find him soon

I’m visiting central Texas, north of Austin, and the cold winds are something else tonight.

Hey @Gunslinging Granny

 

[mlhenn]

The search of a pond near Luling fails to provide any answers as to the location of missing Texas state university student #JasonLandry The search will continue with the investigation being taken over by the CaldwellCo sheriffs office.

Is this the pond the dogs led them to in the two photos attached to the post I quoted above?

There are many lakes near where Jason's car was found. An article stated that one lake was drained, but check this out. There are many nearby lakes.

Is there any way we can access the accident report to find out if it was in the 4700 block or the 2600 block of salt flat?
