From a medical standpoint a legal prescription for Vicodin (or other opioid) is considered a narcotic. Maybe he had an orthopedic injury or recent procedure. But then again, this statement was attributed to law enforcement who may have a different definition that I am not aware of.

Yeah, did the news item say, "illegal" narcotics? Seems likely that they're trying to create drama where none existed by innuendo that isn't technically inaccurate.agingcowboy said:

Thats the reality now.
The question is always, 'will the words we put on the screen cause people to click the link.'
Everything else is secondary.

If there were narcotics in the backpack it doesn't mean they were missing person's. Given who he might have encountered, the other party could very easily planted narcotics to frame a different narrative.
I finally looked at a map. I don't see how he could have ended up there by accident. He is 21 years old. Was that the first time he'd driven from SM to Houston? And the damage to the car....front and back? Or was some of that done by wrecker pulling it out? All very strange.
That's what gets me. In my mind, you can't be driving from SM to Houston and mistakenly end up 5+ miles down a gravel road.
Could there be two backpacks? One backpack with all the normal stuff that was returned to Dad and one backpack with the drugs & the wallet? I could see both sides dancing around the truth a little bit (or both sides only having half the story from PD).

When I was a freshman in college 2008, my buddies and I were on a road trip and accidentally missed a turn and ended up on a gravel farm road driving from Colorado to Texas at night. It's possible. Looking back and the speeds we drove we are lucky we didn't lose control as well.
WOW. That pic has changed drastically from the first squeaky clean one.

This is similar to a case in Canadian . We just listened to the podcast yesterday - it's well done by Skip Hollandsworth/Texas Monthly. Tom Brown, a senior in high school just disappeared.
"In 2016, a popular teenager disappeared in the tiny Panhandle community of Canadian, Texas. Two years later, his remains were discovered beneath a tree outside of town. But to this day, no arrests have been made, and nearly everyone involved in the case has fallen under suspicion."

Just read all 8 parts of that story. Crazy!
They have enough evidence to go to a grand jury in Canadian. I hope they catch Tom's killer!

How long do you want to ignore this user?

Not gonna lie, most of the "most recent photos" of me in college would have looked a lot like that, and i didn't even smoke pot (edit: not saying this kid smoked pot, just saying the worst drug i used was ten high bourbon)
I'm not sure his family knew that one existed. He looks shirtless.
Everytime I see new posts on this thread I come back hoping he's beven found.....
The church Facebook page posted this. May not be related to Jason's disappearance but kind of cryptic. They don't really seem to have a history of this kind of vague posting style, but it could be nothing.
God, give us strength today. Give us peace. Make us a light to our spheres of influence.

Sounds like a normal prayer/church post to me.
Praying for his safety and that he is found.
How has this search gone on for a month and no news?

After listening to all of the podcast episodes...it almost sounded like the private investigator firm feels like they have enough evidence to indict someone (or multiple someones) with a grand jury, which they said should happen early 2021...but everything that has been released publicly sounds like know has a clue...who knows?
It seems to me that the private detective in the Tom Brown case is clueless.
But you can't charge high fees by admitting that.

My apologies. I did some additional poking around the interweb and read where the investigators from Austin plan to go to a grand jury in 2021.
Sorry for not including that info.
Any updates here? Praying for this family.
Seriously, WTF is going on here? It would seem there would be daily/weekly updates from the investigators, I would expect more news coverage locally and regionally, and it seems like this would be on national news to some extent. The way this is being handled by the authorities is very perplexing.
May not be anything to report.
I just came across the story about a guy from Dallas who went missing from the Inwood/Maple area back in October. His Porsche SUV loaner was found in South Dallas a week later. There's $20,000 reward to find him. Very interesting.

Investigators still searching for missing Texas State student
By BOBBY HORECKA
"The Caldwell County Sheriff's Office continues the search for 21-year-old Jason Landry, who went missing along an isolated country road outside Luling a month ago while headed home to his parents' place near Houston.
The young man is believed to have been involved in a single-car collision in the 2300-block of Salt Flat Road sometime during the overnight hours of Sunday, Dec. 13, 2020.
Investigation of the accident scene led authorities to believe that Landry was able to walk away from the accident with little or no injury. His cell phone, wallet and several other personal items were left behind inside the vehicle, investigators said, and a backpack containing a few clothing items and other personal items was found in the roadway, some 900 feet south of the accident scene.
Law enforcement officers, volunteers and search specialists have scoured the more than 20,000-acre area surrounding the crash scene, searching for any clues to his whereabouts. Investigators are also now actively searching online records, in hopes of finding a digital footprint that may lead to finding him.
Texas Search and Rescue TEXSAR conducted an extensive, several day search of the area, in which more than 3,900 acres were searched by foot, horse and canine units, and another 16,900-plus acres was searched by air, using drones, fixed-wing planes and helicopters.
Landry's family and friends have not seen or heard from him since before the Dec. 13 accident, and his whereabouts remain unknown.
Kent Landry, Jason's father, visited recently with The Newsboy about his son's disappearance.
He described Jason as a kind and trusting young man, the youngest of three children in the Landry household, where his father, a former trial attorney, pastors the Southminster Presbyterian Church in Missouri City.
Jason is a junior at Texas State University in San Marcos, where he was working to land a degree in the school's top-rated sound recording program. Just this spring, in fact, Jason's auditions to formally enter the highly competitive music program were scheduled in coming weeks, his father said.
Jason loves music, his father said, and he was just starting to write some of his own songs.
"I don't care what their age, parents never stop worrying about their children, any time they walk out of our door," Kent Landry said. "Jason's disappearance, especially during the Christmas season, has been difficult on all of us, and like most any parent, we just want to know what happened. It's been like a bad dream that just won't end."
Complicating the search have been misleading and untruthful reports from some media sources about items found at the scene. Those have greatly upset the family these last few weeks, his father said.
"The important thing to remember is that Jasonour sonis still missing," he said, pleading with the public to "help fill any holes in the timeline" that might help locate his son, for better or worse.
"We just want to find out what happened," he said. "He's an amazing kid, and I hope you get to meet him sometime soon. We're all still praying for the best."
Anyone with information is urged to contact Detective Jeff Ferry with the Caldwell County Sheriff's Office. He can be reached at (512) 398-6777, Ext. 4516, or by email at Jeff.Ferry@co.caldwell.tx.us."

Went driving down this road today with my wife who is a Luling native. My GPS would not let me keep driving down Salt Flat Rd. It forced me to turn at every side street to get back to I-10. No way following GPS would get you lost that far down that road. Weird story all around.
Since it sounds like it's a remote area, do the people who found the car live on that road? And what were they doing on it at that time of night?
Believe it's been reported DPS found the wrecked vehicle.
I thought I'd read where a 911 call reported it.
I have a farm that is south of a creek and small canyon. The road it is on stops on the north side of my place, and resumes about 3 miles to the north, on the other side of the creek. The only way to bridge that gap is to divert 6-7 miles either east or west.Quote:

Yet GPS will still try to send you to the last intersection north of the creek, where you can't get to my place.
I think it all depends on the GPS, the software, and the accuracy of the underlying map.
