TX TX - Jason Landry, 21, enroute from TSU to home, car found crashed at Luling, 14 Dec 2020 #4

[Gobstopper]

I'd like to see the VFF interviewed. I'd ask him how many cars drove by while he waited for LE, what color his vehicle is, and what exactly he did for the hour he waited.
MOO

The VFF would've seen the backpack and clothes in the road, right? Did he search while waiting? Did he leave right away when LE arrived? If LE smelled mj did VFF smell mj? How long does mj linger? I thought no one got inside the car? But LE could smell it?

The Caldwell County Sheriff’s Office continues to search for missing Texas State student Jason Landry and recently obtained access to his phone and computer data.

CCSO partnered with the Texas Rangers and a team of retired federal agents and private investigators to locate Landry who has been missing since Dec. 13, 2020.

The sheriff’s office has received assistance from the Caldwell County District Attorney’s Office, Texas State University Police, San Marcos Police Department, Texas Department of Public Safety and TEXSAR Texas Search and Rescue.

Investigators have established the following timeline of Landry’s travel prior to going missing, according to the Caldwell County Sheriff’s Office:

• Landry left his apartment in San Marcos at 10:55 p.m. on Dec. 13 and intended to travel to Missouri City, where his parents live.
• Landry drove his vehicle on State Highway 80, passing under Interstate 35 in San Marcos at 11:05 p.m.
• Landry continued to drive south on Highway 80, entering Caldwell County at 11:07 p.m.
• Landry arrived in Martindale and continued south on Highway 80 at 11:11 p.m.
• Landry passed over State Highway 130 on Highway 80 at 11:15 p.m.
• Landry drove through Fentress, entering Prairie Lea at 11:19p.m.
• Landry entered the area of Stairtown at 11:21 p.m.
• Landry entered the City of Luling at 11:24 p.m. on Highway 80.

Investigators say as he drove through the intersection of Hackberry Street where Highway 80 turns into Austin Street, Landry quit using the Waze application and began using Snapchat on his cell phone. CCSO stated that it is believed Landry continued through the intersection, driving onto east Austin. Officials say at this intersection, Landry’s digital footprint stops, however, it is believed that he continued onto Spruce Street, which turns into Salt Flat Road.

Landry’s vehicle was found abandoned at the 2300 block of Salt Flat Road, approximately 31 minutes after midnight on Dec. 14. CCSO says that Landry’s vehicle was found with the lights on, keys in the ignition and the front passenger side door locked. Officials say the vehicle was involved in a single-vehicle collision, most likely from overcorrecting on the gravel road, and spun off the roadway.

Officials say the rear driver’s side corner made initial contact with a tree on the east side of the roadway, which propelled the front driver’s side into another tree and barbed wire fence. CCSO added that there is no evidence that any other vehicle or outside force was involved in the collision and investigators are “confident” that the contact with the tree and fence was the only contact the vehicle sustained.

Neither the volunteer firefighter who discovered Landry’s vehicle or the trooper who responded to the scene entered the vehicle, CCSO said. Landry’s vehicle was towed to an impound yard. Landry’s father — the vehicle’s registered owner — entered the car through the unlocked driver’s side door, discovering his son’s cell phone between the driver’s seat and center console, officials said.

Landry’s father collected the phone and attempted to locate the scene of the accident, CCSO said, stating that he found articles of his son’s clothing — shirt, shorts, socks, underwear, slide sandals and a wristwatch — approximately 900 feet from the collision. Investigators processed the clothes and found a single blood smear, showing no indication of serious bodily injury, officials said.

Investigators later found a backpack, ball cap, plastic bag of personal toiletries, and a tumbler with his deceased beta fish in it approximately 900 feet from the collision scene — north of where the clothing was recovered by Landry’s father.

According to the CCSO, Jason Landry’s backpack contained a small amount of marijuana, a laptop computer and gaming equipment. Officials added that the marijuana may have been combined with an unknown hallucinogenic substance but those findings are pending.

The Caldwell County Sheriff’s Office assumed lead role in the investigation on Dec. 18 and continues to work with various outside agencies and organizations.

CCSO stated that Landry’s vehicle was processed for DNA and blood evidence but there is no evidence of blood inside the vehicle.

Additionally, officials say there is no evidence that Landry was traveling to meet with or communicated intent to meet with anyone in or around Luling.

Alongside receiving access to Landry’s phone and computer data, investigators are awaiting search warrants from social media/tech companies to be returned, the sheriff’s office said, adding that data will be immediately processed upon receipt.

CCSO said there is no evidence that an unknown person of interest is involved in the incident and investigators believe there is no ongoing threat.

Caldwell County is asking for the public’s help with any additional information that may further the investigation. Officials are asking members of the public who have game cameras on private property or private surveillance video from the area to review that as soon as possible and can contact the sheriff’s office for assistance in reviewing the video.

Anyone with information is encouraged to contact any of the following investigators: Caldwell County Sheriff’s Office 1204 Reed Dr. Lockhart, 78644 Phone: 512-398-6777 Fax: 512-376-4376 — Mike Lane, Sheriff.

I thought the trooper didn't arrive until an hour after the VFF? Is that incorrect? Did the trooper request the wrecker prior to arriving on the scene? I'm confused. MOO

Reportedly, KL arrived at the impound yard around 6AM but learned the gate could not be opened until 7 AM. Waiting for the impound yard to open, KL reportedly drove to the accident site on SFR. It's believed that KL located JL's clothing on the roadway during this time.

Thanks for this, Seattle1.

Re: “Officials added that the marijuana may have been combined with an unknown hallucinogenic substance but those findings are pending“, I am nterested in learning more about this. I apologize that I’m behind here. Do they mean it was laced? Any other details/information on this is appreciated, sorry for any rehash. As some of you may recall, I consider myself to be a marijuana expert lol.

A thought - I remember eons ago, these terrible guys passed a joint around that was laced with PCP/Angel dust. We didn’t know it was laced, and very bad things happened.

Is that stuff even around anymore? I haven’t heard anything about it in decades. I wonder if it was PCP.

Ok, so off the top of my head, and upon a very quick, cursory glance, those look like “prerolls”, the kind you get at the dispensary that has a filter - Eta / Re: filter, nevermind, it says “wooden tip” (never seen that before )).

I see there are also the tube containers with the labels, “berries”, “sugar cane”....

It’s also rolled narrow to fat, looks like the ones you buy pre rolled. They’re also the brown, all natural hemp paper, as indicated on that label.

I’d like to take a closer look at this when I have a little more time, marking and thanks for (re)posting.

I wonder if he got these from someone via a dispensary in Colorado, or California...
Eta/ Or maybe a home operation trying to be like a dispensary.

We know under Texas law, use and possession of MJ is still illegal-- has been since 1931. JL's a college student -- I expect the source could be never-ending speculation....

 

[margarita25]

Upon a cursory google, it seems people mix weed and ecstasy/molly?

They can also be purchased pre-filled.
There is a disparity between those that look to be professionally rolled and those he may have rolled himself.

All of his things left behind, car wrecked, Jason missing...indicates to me at least that he set off on foot alone. Chances are any person who wanted to do harm to him would have at least grabbed his backpack to rummage later, looking for any electronics etc...not just leave it there. And where his phone was found seems like he had dropped it prior to wreck, maybe causing the wreck?

I do not have a strong opinion on the timing of towing...but it seems clear to me this was a one-car wreck. But obviously until he is found all kinds of theories abound...just hope he is found soon.

It most definitely was a one car wreck.
NOBODY Has suggested otherwise of late.
Only one car got wrecked here. Jason's car.

That is not to say anther vehicle was not present on that road that night or did not run him off that road or cause him to swerve.
People do this, sometimes they do it inadvertently, joyriding and taking vehicles to quiet roads to 'test them out' see how fast they can go. They do not expect other vehicles to be present and will take both sides.

Interpreting questions about the accident scene as being different to what CCSO said it was is not what we're about here.

The possibility that he was chased, for whatever reason is also not off the cards.

These types of events may well have left tracks on the road but not on his vehicle.
Theirs was protected, the unsuspecting student totalled as a result of other peoples' recklessness.
This is not a conspiracy theory and this is not a rabbit hole .
Also if that accident was caused by somebody else, their objective would not necessarily have been theft.

The Sugar Cane and Blueberry aren't cannabis they are HEMP you can buy them on Amazon! Don't know about the other pre rolls in the bottle they could be cannabis. Hemp can smell exactly like weed so what the officer smelled may have just been hemp. Until they come out with the test results on those pre rolls it's anybody's guess! Find it hard to believe they don't have results yet!!

 

[diggndeeperstill]

Haha The VFF would've seen the backpack and clothes in the road, right? Did he search while waiting? Did he leave right away when LE arrived? If LE smelled mj did VFF smell mj? How long does mj linger? I thought no one got inside the car? But LE could smell it?
MOO

Wonder if anyone said, "Hey I think I might've seen some clothes in the road on the way here? Or wonder what I passed earlier? Or did the trooper take charge of the scene and say, ok, boys, make note of anything you have seen and report back? Or did um, those clothes just get shown on bodycam and um, not mentioned to the DPS trooper at all? Did he ever drive by them on his path? In or out of the scene? What exactly is standard procedure for "rounding up the boys to communicate what has been discovered, seen, or searched? Is that dispatch's job? Troopers job? Caldwell County Sheriff's Job? Who is in charge? Surely, this isn't the first rodeo here.
