CALDWELL COUNTY, Texas — Monday marks one year since 21-year-old Texas State student Jason Landry went missing in Caldwell County.
Landry’s car was found crashed and abandoned in the town of Luling, about 30 miles outside of San Marcos. Since then, clues have been scant.
Back in October, Texas Search and Rescue conducted another larges-cale search for Landry, this time with the aid of artificial intelligence.
“We’ve spent over 300 days searching for him, and it’s amazing to think that we started in December and here we are in October,” Kent Landry, Jason Landry’s father, told Spectrum New 1.
“We’re running software looking for specific color patterns and sizes. A lot of what we are able to look at is bones and remains but without something in scale we are not able to identify if we are looking at animal remains. We need to put personnel on the ground and search those areas thoroughly,” Shawn Hohnsereiter with Texas Search and Rescue told Spectrum News 1 in October.
Laundry says he’ll never give up on finding his son. He went on to say he’s confident that he’ll be reunited with Jason, one day.
“Jason knows the lord, and if it’s the worst and he’s passed away, he’s in Heaven, which is better than here, and we’ll still see him. It’s just that he got to Heaven before me,” he said.
