Cold case investigators have come to Caldwell County, hoping for new clues in a six-year-old mystery involving a college student.<\/p>\n
Not far from the Caldwell city of Luling, human remains have been found in the general vicinity of where Jason Landry, then 21, disappeared in 2000.<\/p>\n
Landry was enrolled as a student at Texas State University in nearby San Marcos, and was just off I-10 when he was said by relatives to have been returning home to his parents in Missouri City, just south of Houston, but never made it.<\/p>\n
His missing-persons case has been focus of an ongoing investigation, one of many cold case probes that have touched the hearts of several families that have experienced similar family losses, and those families are working to help other victims.<\/p>\n
The families of four young women who were killed in an Austin yogurt shop in 1991 had to wait 34 years before investigators could track down the killers, and they say the Landry case is an example of the help they’re trying to bring by forming the National Cold Case Center.<\/p>\n
Investigators say just because the human remains have found in the general area where Jason Landry is thought to have disappeared is no reason to think the case might be solved — buy they are hopeful. <\/p>\n
In the original probe, officers found Jason’s cell phone data indicating he was headed home and passed through several town but his trace stops around Luling, along I-10. <\/p>\n
That’s where his car was found crashed and his personal effects were missing, according to the Caldwell County Sheriff’s Department.<\/p>\n
The families launching the National Cold Case Center say it’s designed to help the families of victims connect with law enforcement officials, forensic experts and financial resources to help give those families some peace of mind while cold case investigators examine and re-examine unsolved cases of violence and disappearance. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cold case investigators have come to Caldwell County, hoping for new clues in a six-year-old mystery involving a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":441634,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[56,58,57,66,223,27],"class_list":["post-441633","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-houston","tag-houston","tag-houston-headlines","tag-houston-news","tag-local","tag-news","tag-texas"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/441633","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=441633"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/441633\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/441634"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=441633"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=441633"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=441633"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
