What happened to Jason Landry?
The Caldwell County Sheriff’s Office said Jason Landry, 21, was heading to the Missouri City area in December of 2020. Investigators found his crashed vehicle, a Nissan Altima, near Luling off Salt Flat Road with some of his belongings scattered nearby.
Texas Search and Rescue (TEXSAR) has been involved in search efforts, but had since then suspended its search. Landry’s family and friends had offered a $10,000 reward for information leading to his whereabouts and return.
There are no indications of foul play and no evidence to support that Landry was the victim of a crime, according to Ferry.
