16: The Disappearance of Jason Landry Part 1

On the night of December 13, 2020, 21-year-old Jason Landry set out on what should have been a routine drive home for the holidays.

The Texas State University student had just finished his final exams and was heading from San Marcos to his hometown of Missouri City, Texas—a trip he had made before and one that should have taken just a few hours. 

But Jason never made it home.

This is the disappearance of Jason Landry.
