Three years ago this week, Jason Landry, a college student from Texas, went missing. Today, Attorney General Paxton and the Office of the Attorney General's Cold Case and Missing Persons Unit reaffirm their commitment to the investigation and their dedication to pursuing credible information from the public.
Jason Landry, a student at Texas State University, was last seen on December 13, 2020. His abandoned vehicle was discovered on a rural roadway just outside of Luling, Texas, on the early morning of December 14, 2020.
Since February 2022, when the Caldwell County District Attorney's Office and the Caldwell County Sheriff's Office requested investigative assistance, the OAG's Cold Case and Missing Persons Unit has invested countless hours and resources into the case. They have conducted extensive forensic testing, issued search warrants, interviewed witnesses, and collaborated with experts from various government agencies and non-profit organizations.
In November 2023, the OAG's Cold Case and Missing Persons Unit hosted a comprehensive roundtable case review of the Landry investigation. The panel included experts in digital forensics, geospatial sciences, data mapping, criminal intelligence, and other relevant fields from agencies such as the FBI, Texas Rangers and Department of Public Safety, Texas Search and Rescue, the Caldwell County District Attorney's Office, and the Travis County Constable's Office (Precinct 3). Together, they thoroughly examined every aspect of the case and determined that all credible leads and investigative steps have been pursued up to this point.
The Texas OAG's Cold Case and Missing Persons Unit emphasizes that the investigation into Jason Landry's disappearance remains active and ongoing. They urge anyone with credible information about the case to contact the Unit through their website.
During this difficult time, our thoughts remain with the Landry family. Their perseverance and strength inspire us to continue our efforts in finding answers and bringing closure to this case.
