Episode Details

In December 2020, 21-year-old Texas State University student Jason Landry left San Marcos, Texas, headed home to Missouri City for Christmas break. He never made it.

Just after midnight, Jason’s wrecked Nissan Altima was found on a rural gravel road near Luling, Texas, with the lights on, the keys in the ignition, and Jason nowhere in sight. His phone, wallet, backpack, and clothing were later found in or near the crash scene—but Jason had vanished into the cold Texas night.

In this episode of Hitched 2 Homicide, we take a deep dive into the mysterious disappearance of Jason Landry, the timeline of his final known drive, the strange evidence found on Salt Flat Road, the search efforts by law enforcement and volunteers, the geofence warrant, the theories surrounding whether Jason was alone, and the painful questions his family still faces more than five years later.

Was Jason disoriented after the crash and lost in the rural Texas landscape? Did someone come across him after the accident? Or is the answer still hidden somewhere along the dark backroads of Caldwell County?
