Transcript
- 0:03Speaker 1: What is fear? And I don't mean by definition, but
- 0:07Speaker 1: actually at the root of it, What is fear? What
- 0:11Speaker 1: makes us afraid of something? Is it really just a
- 0:15Speaker 1: clown or spiders? Does how high we are off the
- 0:18Speaker 1: ground really account for how scared we are? I think
- 0:24Speaker 1: fear is much more than that. I think it's the unknown.
- 0:28Speaker 1: We are fearful and afraid of the things we can't explain.
- 0:32Speaker 1: In the case of Jason Landry, the unknown is everything,
- 0:37Speaker 1: and I think that is what makes this case so scary.

- 5:38Speaker 2: incredibly kind, so.
- 5:39Speaker 1: Let's do it up exactly.
- 5:41Speaker 2: And I hadn't even heard of this case. I don't
- 5:43Speaker 2: believe so so it's a good one.
- 5:44Speaker 1: I don't believe so so, I don't.
- 5:46Speaker 2: Believe so so so so so Okay.
- 5:48Speaker 1: Then, well I thought I had heard of this case,
- 5:52Speaker 1: but I think I was getting it mixed up with
- 5:53Speaker 1: another one, because I have not heard of this one.
- 5:56Speaker 1: I mean, it seems like it's a relatively unknown one
- 6:00Speaker 1: in the true crime world at least. However, Jason's story
- 6:03Speaker 1: has gone over many news sources. Okay, so this is
- 6:09Speaker 1: not a very old case, and we're about to talk
- 6:12Speaker 1: all about it. Okay, you ready for this?
- 6:14Speaker 2: You're all about it? I want to yeah, Okay.
- 6:17Speaker 1: Well, let me just get my notes up here. I'm
- 6:19Speaker 1: gonna get them a little bit bigger it.
- 6:20Speaker 2: Was in Texas, right, Yes, Okay, I got to.
- 6:25Speaker 1: Zoom in here because I'm getting a little old.
- 6:27Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, because we've already chatted about this on here.
- 6:29Speaker 2: You need glasses and you refuse to get glasses.
- 6:32Speaker 1: It's not that I refuse to get glasses, it's I
- 6:34Speaker 1: procrastinate and don't ever make the appointment.
- 6:37Speaker 2: I'd be so curious, Actually, you go to the eye
- 6:38Speaker 2: doctor and see what you would need?
- 6:42Speaker 1: Me too.
- 6:43Speaker 2: I also feel like you go there and they'd be like,
- 6:44Speaker 2: you're fine.
- 6:45Speaker 1: What does that mean?
- 6:46Speaker 2: I don't know, because I don't know. You just always
- 6:49Speaker 2: have had like a good bill of health and like
- 6:51Speaker 2: surprisingly oh good.
- 6:53Speaker 1: What is that supposed to mean? Surprisingly good?
- 6:56Speaker 2: I don't know. It's just always. I mean, we've done
- 6:59Speaker 2: hell test A four for like insurance and stuff, and
- 7:01Speaker 2: you're always like past with like flying colors, like the
- 7:05Speaker 2: healthiest of health.
- 7:07Speaker 1: Well, isn't that a good thing?
- 7:08Speaker 2: And I am, but like the night before, you just
- 7:11Speaker 2: ate like a big mac.
- 7:13Speaker 1: So it's just like, wow, thank you for the vouch
- 7:19Speaker 1: of confidence.
- 7:19Speaker 2: I'm very I'm very happy about that. But I can
- 7:21Speaker 2: also see you going there and being like you actually
- 7:23Speaker 2: your eyesight's perfect.
- 7:25Speaker 1: I feel attacked right now, so I'm going to ignore
- 7:27Speaker 1: that whole thing and move on. You're ready for this case?
- 7:33Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 7:33Speaker 1: Okay? Am I going to get attacked anymore?
- 7:37Speaker 2: Probably?
- 7:37Speaker 1: All right, Well we'll find out what happens, I guess.
- 7:40Speaker 1: In the meantime, we're talking about Jason Landry. So Jason
- 7:44Speaker 1: was just kind of your average guy, outgoing, nice and
- 7:47Speaker 1: of course, like me, had a sweet tooth. You know,
- 7:52Speaker 1: you just said I eat junk food and stuff. Well,
- 7:55Speaker 1: Jason's got this right, that's fair. He loved cupcakes for sample,
- 8:00Speaker 1: but his favorite sweet was those little red gummies called
- 8:04Speaker 1: Swedish fish.
- 8:05Speaker 2: Oh okay, those are actually really good.
- 8:07Speaker 1: They are really good, Like in his defense, they are delicious. Yeah,
- 8:10Speaker 1: one hundred and ten percent. So it was December, and
- 8:14Speaker 1: this is when Jason's story starts. Jason was on winter
- 8:18Speaker 1: break and he was heading home to see his family.
- 8:21Speaker 1: He was driving from his apartment in San Marcos toward
- 8:24Speaker 1: his parents neighborhood in Sienna. Plan I can't say this now,
- 8:30Speaker 1: I swear I started planation. There we go, planation right
- 8:35Speaker 1: on Sienna, Planation, there we go.
- 8:37Speaker 2: That's a hard one.
- 8:38Speaker 1: It is we We actually do look up these things
- 8:41Speaker 1: and how to say it. People are just sometimes we
- 8:44Speaker 1: get messages like you need to learn how to say things.
- 8:46Speaker 1: We just don't edit these things out. We keep it
- 8:48Speaker 1: very real with us. Yeah, so you hear the bloopers.
- 8:51Speaker 2: Oh yeah. Other people just hide that shit and we're like,
- 8:53Speaker 2: this is us.
- 8:54Speaker 1: Yeah. Anyways, So Google map shows that it is about
- 8:57Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy seven miles apart, and it would
- 9:00Speaker 1: take about three hours to complete the drive from place
- 9:03Speaker 1: to place. Okay, Like many people around the holidays, Jason
- 9:06Speaker 1: was eager to get home to see his family.
- 9:08Speaker 2: Okay, yep, that's fair.
- 9:10Speaker 1: So Jason was a twenty one year old and he
- 9:13Speaker 1: was a college student and he moved out to this university,
- 9:17Speaker 1: Texas State University, nice, and it was only a few
- 9:20Speaker 1: months before he was there studying music. He was the
- 9:23Speaker 1: youngest son of Kent Laundry and his wife Lee the
- 9:26Speaker 1: laundry fair enough. Yeah, Okay, so when he moved out,
- 9:32Speaker 1: you know, he's over in this new town, his parents
- 9:34Speaker 1: are over there in his old hometown sort of situation.
- 9:36Speaker 1: That's kind of where we're sitting.
- 9:38Speaker 2: That's sad. I feel like, well, it's probably more sad
- 9:40Speaker 2: for the parents.
- 9:41Speaker 1: Well, I mean more so for the parents as for Jason.
- 9:44Speaker 1: He's probably just kind of off on a new adventure
- 9:45Speaker 1: sort of thing.
- 9:46Speaker 2: Right, many it's probably a bit terrifying. I can imagine too.
- 9:49Speaker 1: Potentially many young kids and students and such go off
- 9:52Speaker 1: on you know, tours to go to another university or
- 9:55Speaker 1: campus or college or something, or even just moving to
- 9:57Speaker 1: a new town or something for a new perspective. It's
- 10:00Speaker 1: something a lot of people do. Not very uncommon.
- 10:03Speaker 2: Actually, something I'm still trying to do.
- 10:05Speaker 1: Yeah. So, like I said, this was in December, and
- 10:08Speaker 1: like many people around the holidays, Jason was wanted to
- 10:10Speaker 1: get back home to his family. Right the thoughts of
- 10:13Speaker 1: the holiday celebration would have potentially been in his head.
- 10:15Speaker 1: And I'm sure, he would have also been ensuring that
- 10:17Speaker 1: he had items he needed for you know, the holidays
- 10:20Speaker 1: as well, along with his packing and his gear you know,
- 10:23Speaker 1: from his clothes to potentially gifts. But you know, time
- 10:28Speaker 1: would have been the factor for Jason, right. Who wants
- 10:31Speaker 1: to let their vacation begin or who wants to let
- 10:34Speaker 1: their vacation begin tomorrow? Which would you prefer start now?
- 10:38Speaker 2: Right? Oh? Of course?
- 10:40Speaker 1: Why put off seeing your family later when you can
- 10:42Speaker 1: see them sooner. So, with these ideas, you know, dancing
- 10:45Speaker 1: in his mind, Jason thought he wasn't going to wait
- 10:48Speaker 1: till tomorrow morning before making the drive. He was going
- 10:51Speaker 1: to drive.
- 10:51Speaker 2: Now that's actually kind of adorable.
- 10:53Speaker 1: So at around ten fifty five pm, Jason had his
- 10:57Speaker 1: silver Nissan Ultima loaded up. He closed the trunk and
- 11:01Speaker 1: sat in the driver's seat, and he put the car
- 11:03Speaker 1: in gear and headed off for the drive. It was
- 11:08Speaker 1: the evening of December thirteenth in twenty twenty. There was
- 11:12Speaker 1: cold and crisp kind of night that your breath is
- 11:15Speaker 1: easily seen in front of your face as you exhale.
- 11:18Speaker 1: With windshiels and temperatures, the estimate was that it would
- 11:22Speaker 1: reach approximately twenty four degrees that night, or equal of
- 11:25Speaker 1: minus four degrees celsius. And remind you this is in Texas, right,
- 11:29Speaker 1: so those temperatures are quite frigid.
- 11:31Speaker 2: Yeah, that's really cold for us, that's.
- 11:33Speaker 1: Still t shirt and shorts weather. But for some Yeah. Anyways,
- 11:39Speaker 1: Jason drove towards his parents' house, but along the route
- 11:42Speaker 1: something happened, something that would prevent Jason from ever making
- 11:47Speaker 1: it home for the holidays.
- 11:49Speaker 2: No.
- 11:51Speaker 1: Yes, Jason's wrecked car was discovered by a volunteer firefighter
- 11:56Speaker 1: at approximately twelve thirty one on December fourteenth, on the
- 11:59Speaker 1: twentieth three hundred block of Salt Flat Road and Lulling,
- 12:03Speaker 1: the town of Lolling.
- 12:04Speaker 2: I should say till like twelve thirty one, like that
- 12:06Speaker 2: night or the next morning early yeah, oh my goodness.
- 12:10Speaker 1: Yeah, it was only about two and a half hours home.
- 12:12Speaker 2: Okay.
- 12:14Speaker 1: His car was in the ditch against a farm fence.
- 12:16Speaker 1: The engine was still running, and his headlights were still on.
- 12:19Speaker 1: Holy shit, but there was no sign of Jason anywhere.
- 12:22Speaker 2: That's super odd. Well, yeah, really odd. The fact that
- 12:26Speaker 2: it's like running and shit.
- 12:27Speaker 1: Yeah, so that that shows something right there, something's wrong. Well,
- 12:31Speaker 1: what do you think that's a sign of.
- 12:35Speaker 2: Oh gosh, I don't know. I've never even like, I mean, okay,
- 12:39Speaker 2: if I was driving along and I came across a
- 12:41Speaker 2: vehicle that was running and no one was around, yes,
- 12:47Speaker 2: I have no idea what I would think, but like
- 12:49Speaker 2: that something was not right that I don't know, this
- 12:52Speaker 2: person like got like kidnapped or abducted or something.
- 12:56Speaker 1: In my mind, that shows a sign of haste. You know,
- 12:59Speaker 1: someone leave the car quickly, right for whatever reason they're.
- 13:04Speaker 2: So like kidnapped for potentially that is a potential reason.
- 13:08Speaker 1: Yes, so leaving the car.
- 13:10Speaker 2: Quickly not really on their free wale really.
- 13:13Speaker 1: In my opinion, could have been might not have been. Yeah,
- 13:16Speaker 1: we have no idea yet as to why, but we
- 13:20Speaker 1: do know that car was still on. Lights are still
- 13:23Speaker 1: on in the ditch. There was quite a bit of
- 13:26Speaker 1: damage to the vehicle.
- 13:27Speaker 2: Oh, like it had been in a car accident.
- 13:28Speaker 1: Then, yes, it was in a car wreck.
- 13:30Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, sorry, I guess I didn't gather that point. Okay, Okay,
- 13:35Speaker 2: So then I actually feel like I might not be
- 13:37Speaker 2: as concerned, just silly, but because maybe they got kind
- 13:42Speaker 2: of hurt or whatever, and then someone had been like
- 13:45Speaker 2: escorting them to a hospital. It's sort of my thought.
- 13:47Speaker 1: Whatever the reason, there's a million in one reasons, but
- 13:51Speaker 1: it shows leaving the vehicle quickly in my mind.
- 13:55Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sorry I missed that part. I thought that
- 13:56Speaker 2: it was just parked there for some reason.
- 13:59Speaker 1: No, well, I didn't say it was in a wreck specifically,
- 14:01Speaker 1: but I did say it was in a ditch against
- 14:02Speaker 1: a farm fence. Okay, But anyways, the police were of
- 14:06Speaker 1: course quickly to call to the scene, and investigation was
- 14:10Speaker 1: right to follow and began underway. So as we know,
- 14:14Speaker 1: the immediate hours after a missing person's case are brought
- 14:17Speaker 1: to attention, these hours are the most.
- 14:20Speaker 2: Crucial, precious hours.
- 14:21Speaker 1: Yes, so first and foremost, a big thank you to
- 14:23Speaker 1: authorities for being so quick to action in this case,
- 14:26Speaker 1: because they were in fact very quick to action. And now,
- 14:29Speaker 1: aside from his car obviously being in the accident and
- 14:32Speaker 1: still running, there are a few things that were found
- 14:35Speaker 1: at the scene. There were clear skid marks on the
- 14:38Speaker 1: dirt road leading to Jason's car, which showed a sudden
- 14:42Speaker 1: use of brakes and a loss of control, and law
- 14:45Speaker 1: enforcement officials believed that the car of the car crash
- 14:49Speaker 1: was quote survivable.
- 14:51Speaker 2: Okay, that's good. To know.
- 14:53Speaker 1: One of the first things that was looked at was
- 14:56Speaker 1: paint transfer from another car. When two vehicles collide an accident,
- 15:00Speaker 1: usually there's a paint transfer of some kind from one
- 15:03Speaker 1: vehicle to another, where paint, you know, is scraped off
- 15:06Speaker 1: and it ends up being rubbed onto the next vehicle.
- 15:09Speaker 1: But there is nothing of the sort found indicating that
- 15:12Speaker 1: this was a solo accident.
- 15:14Speaker 2: Okay.
- 15:16Speaker 1: Now, while this was being looked for and kind of process,
- 15:20Speaker 1: and they're trying to find those paint transfers, pictures of
- 15:23Speaker 1: other evidence was already being taken. Just nine hundred feet
- 15:27Speaker 1: away on the road. Jason's backpack was found with his
- 15:31Speaker 1: possessions and a small amount of marijuana inside, and so
- 15:35Speaker 1: was a pile of Jason's clothing, not folded clothing, but
- 15:42Speaker 1: removed from one's body, clothing Jason had stripped, so it
- 15:48Speaker 1: seemed down to the nude and runoff in the cold
- 15:50Speaker 1: December night, leaving behind all his possessions, including his wallet, phone,
- 15:56Speaker 1: oh keys.
- 15:58Speaker 2: That is odd. That's very odd.
- 16:00Speaker 1: Well, the whole situation is odd.
- 16:01Speaker 2: Well, that just keeps getting it. Is that a word od?
- 16:06Speaker 1: It's an animal, It's an odd.
- 16:10Speaker 2: It keeps getting more and more odd.
- 16:12Speaker 1: How about extremely confusing? How's that?
- 16:14Speaker 2: Yeah, there we go, that would make no sense to me.
- 16:17Speaker 1: Yeah, well why would he do that?
- 16:18Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 16:19Speaker 1: Not only why would he do that? But what caused
- 16:21Speaker 1: the accident? And you know, of course, where is Jason?
- 16:25Speaker 1: That's the big question here, first and foremost, where is he?
- 16:28Speaker 1: Second of all, what happened? So it didn't take long
- 16:33Speaker 1: before investigators contacted Jason's family, and that's when they made
- 16:36Speaker 1: an odd discovery. They went, they weren't expecting Jason. Jason's
- 16:42Speaker 1: family wasn't expecting him home as far as they knew,
- 16:45Speaker 1: he was still in his apartment in San Marco's and
- 16:47Speaker 1: had no clue of him taking the road that night
- 16:50Speaker 1: or any time soon.
- 16:51Speaker 2: Oh like, they didn't think he was coming the next
- 16:53Speaker 2: day even correct.
- 16:55Speaker 1: Now, I do want to clarify. Majority of articles I
- 16:58Speaker 1: found did say this. However, there were some insinuating the
- 17:02Speaker 1: parents did expect him home that night, so I couldn't
- 17:05Speaker 1: find a clear answer, but majority state that he wasn't
- 17:09Speaker 1: expected home that night.
- 17:11Speaker 2: Interesting, Okay, so there is a.
- 17:13Speaker 1: Little bit of a stipulation there in that that note.
- 17:18Speaker 1: But if this is the case, if his parents weren't
- 17:20Speaker 1: expecting him home that night. Where was Jason going? You know,
- 17:24Speaker 1: was he actually going home? And if they weren't expecting him,
- 17:26Speaker 1: maybe he was going home for the holidays for a
- 17:28Speaker 1: surprise to the family, or was there somewhere else that
- 17:32Speaker 1: he was going. Was there another destination. His last known
- 17:36Speaker 1: location via cell phone digital footprint, luckily enough, was in
- 17:41Speaker 1: the town of Lulling, Texas, at approximately eleven twenty six
- 17:44Speaker 1: pm on December thirteenth of twenty twenty. Along with this,
- 17:50Speaker 1: investigators were able to track much of Jason's last moves.
- 17:54Speaker 1: The timeline goes a little bit something like this. Jason's
- 17:59Speaker 1: drive begins with the use of a navigation app called
- 18:02Speaker 1: ways w a Ze. He is new to the area
- 18:07Speaker 1: and he's only driven home twice before since since his move, so.
- 18:11Speaker 2: Says like I was almost wondering if that was odd.
- 18:13Speaker 1: No, that's not odd. He's only driven this route twice before.
- 18:16Speaker 1: So now along the route the app pings a geolocation
- 18:21Speaker 1: painting a picture of exactly you know, where he's been,
- 18:23Speaker 1: which is great. This is how the authorities are getting
- 18:26Speaker 1: this information. At eleven h five pm, according to Caldwell
- 18:30Speaker 1: count Iff County Sheriff's Investigation, Jason is driving on the
- 18:35Speaker 1: highway on Highway Texas eighty and passes under Interstate thirty
- 18:39Speaker 1: five in San Marcos. He continued to head south on
- 18:42Speaker 1: Texas eighty Highway into Caldwell County and is in meryton
- 18:48Speaker 1: Dale around eleven eleven pm, so at eleven fifteen he
- 18:53Speaker 1: continues on the Texas eighty pack passes Texas one point
- 18:57Speaker 1: thirty and goes through several small towns, including being Fentris,
- 19:01Speaker 1: Prairie Lee, and Stairtown. Eleven twenty four, About half an
- 19:06Speaker 1: hour into his drive, Jason enters lulling on the Texas
- 19:11Speaker 1: eighty Highway. As he continues on his way through the
- 19:14Speaker 1: intersection at Hackberry Street, where Texas eighty becomes Austin Street,
- 19:19Speaker 1: he stops using his navigation app Weighs and instead begins
- 19:23Speaker 1: to use Snapchat. Thankfully, they were able to continue to
- 19:27Speaker 1: get his location and time within the Snapchat app as well.
- 19:32Speaker 2: Oh Wow.
- 19:33Speaker 1: He continues onto Austin Street to Magnolia Avenue, where his
- 19:38Speaker 1: digital footprint ends. Authorities believe that instead of turning right
- 19:43Speaker 1: onto Magnolia as his route would have suggested, he drives
- 19:48Speaker 1: straight through the intersection onto East Austin Street to Spruce Street,
- 19:52Speaker 1: which turns into Salt Flat Road, the location where his
- 19:55Speaker 1: car was discovered. Now it is believed that the car
- 19:58Speaker 1: crashed around eleven thirty four PM and his car was
- 20:01Speaker 1: discovered at twelve thirty one, pretty much only an hour
- 20:05Speaker 1: after the incident. So following the discovery of Jason's car,
- 20:09Speaker 1: the area surrounding was of course immediately searched. In fact,
- 20:13Speaker 1: a total of seven major professional searches occurred, spanning over
- 20:19Speaker 1: over fifty square miles of the surrounding area, and nothing
- 20:24Speaker 1: produced a single sign of Jason or his whereabouts.
- 20:27Speaker 2: So it's literally like you just disappeared into thin air.
- 20:30Speaker 1: It's literally like you just vanished. Hm.
- 20:36Speaker 2: I mean, that's good that they are doing so much here.
- 20:39Speaker 2: That is like they're on it, on it. Sometimes, especially
- 20:44Speaker 2: in like missing persons cases, it doesn't necessarily seem like
- 20:47Speaker 2: that or like more time has to pass before they
- 20:49Speaker 2: really like you know, get really diving deep.
- 20:53Speaker 1: Exactly, Which is why I wanted to say, you know,
- 20:54Speaker 1: a good shout out to the investigators on this case,
- 20:57Speaker 1: because they were they were on it. They didn't waste
- 20:59Speaker 1: any time hmm. So that's really nice to see that
- 21:02Speaker 1: they you know, did what they needed to do and
- 21:04Speaker 1: jumped into action. Now, there was also a private investigative
- 21:08Speaker 1: team that was also hired by Jason's parents, and they
- 21:12Speaker 1: had apparently uncovered circumstantial evidence that Jason was not alone
- 21:17Speaker 1: at the time of his disappearance.
- 21:21Speaker 2: Like someone was in that vehicle with them.
- 21:23Speaker 1: That's what this suggests, holy shit, or not necessarily in
- 21:28Speaker 1: the vehicle, but at least at the scene.
- 21:30Speaker 2: That's a loose one of the two, because like my
- 21:33Speaker 2: mind almost just goes to, like, I'm sure, but I'm
- 21:35Speaker 2: sure they've gotten like they probably called all the hospitals
- 21:38Speaker 2: and like just made sure that he wasn't there because
- 21:40Speaker 2: what I'm he lost his memory in this accident or something, right,
- 21:44Speaker 2: and was at some sort of hospital. Yeah, that's kind
- 21:48Speaker 2: of where my brain went, Like, that's where what I
- 21:50Speaker 2: feel like would potentially have happened.
- 21:52Speaker 1: That's true, that is that is a case, or that
- 21:55Speaker 1: is something that could become the case. My argument against
- 22:00Speaker 1: that is that this was actually quite the publicized case.
- 22:03Speaker 1: It was on like Fox News and like it was
- 22:05Speaker 1: quite widely covered, So any hospital in the surrounding area
- 22:10Speaker 1: if it wasn't checked, I'm pretty sure they would have
- 22:12Speaker 1: been able to figure out Okay, we have this guy
- 22:15Speaker 1: who doesn't know his identity, but yet there's this case
- 22:17Speaker 1: blaring on TV of this guy missing. Yeah, oh that's
- 22:21Speaker 1: him on TV, like you.
- 22:22Speaker 2: Know, well, and then they closing the road and his
- 22:24Speaker 2: belongings in the road don't really make sense for that either.
- 22:27Speaker 1: Exactly Now, this circumstantial evidence. I looked and I couldn't
- 22:34Speaker 1: find what this evidence is. Now, I assume it's currently
- 22:37Speaker 1: not public knowledge. I don't think it's out there for
- 22:40Speaker 1: anyone to just dig up. Okay, but regardless, they strongly
- 22:45Speaker 1: believe that a geofence warrant would enable them to locate
- 22:49Speaker 1: a suspect as well as additional witnesses. Now, a geofence
- 22:55Speaker 1: warrant or a reverse location warrant, basically, it's just a
- 22:59Speaker 1: search war issued by a court to allow law enforcement
- 23:03Speaker 1: to search a database to find all active mobile devices
- 23:06Speaker 1: within a particular GEO fenced area. Okay, So essentially they
- 23:12Speaker 1: would be able to access the nearest cell phone tower
- 23:16Speaker 1: and see whose cell phones were active in the area
- 23:19Speaker 1: where Jason went missing at that time, giving them a
- 23:23Speaker 1: list of potential suspects.
- 23:24Speaker 2: Right, it's just wild what they like the access to
- 23:28Speaker 2: information that they have nowadays saying.
- 23:30Speaker 1: Oh, I'm pretty sure that like nothing about our lives
- 23:32Speaker 1: is private anymore.
- 23:33Speaker 2: Yeah, Like that's it's like terrifying in a sense, but
- 23:36Speaker 2: it's also it opens a lot of potential pieces and stuff.
- 23:41Speaker 2: But then for investigators too, that's very hard, right, Like, yeah,
- 23:46Speaker 2: this amount of more information that they have to potentially
- 23:49Speaker 2: solve cases, it is probably overwhelming.
- 23:51Speaker 1: Oh yeah, there would be so much to sift through
- 23:53Speaker 1: it'd be absolutely insane. Yeah, but clearly all this information
- 23:58Speaker 1: isn't readily accessible even to law enforcement. So however, I'm
- 24:03Speaker 1: pretty sure that Google has access to it, because if
- 24:06Speaker 1: I say something like new bicycle, I'm probably gonna get
- 24:10Speaker 1: ads for that for the next week. Now you know.
- 24:13Speaker 2: Which you really want?
- 24:14Speaker 1: Yeah, full suspension, Santa Cruz, carbon fiber body. Oh my gosh,
- 24:21Speaker 1: there we go. Anyways, do your work Google, you know
- 24:27Speaker 1: what to do. I lost my spot? Now where am i?
- 24:34Speaker 2: Oh?
- 24:34Speaker 1: Yeah? So anyways, this is basically very similar to how
- 24:36Speaker 1: the police use the Rogue map to find Jason's locations
- 24:39Speaker 1: right through ways and Snapchat, but essentially it's much more effective. Anyways,
- 24:44Speaker 1: that particide though, the problem is that the Caldwell County
- 24:47Speaker 1: Sheriff's office and the Caldwell County District's Attorney Office, for
- 24:52Speaker 1: one reason or another, have not agreed to make the
- 24:55Speaker 1: warrant application.
- 24:56Speaker 2: Why not?
- 24:58Speaker 1: I just want to highlight the application. It's not that
- 25:00Speaker 1: they've been denied the warrant. You can't apply, no, they yeah,
- 25:04Speaker 1: they don't want to apply because these are private investigators, right,
- 25:07Speaker 1: So private investigators are bringing this forward to authorities, and
- 25:11Speaker 1: authority are saying we're not going to try for that warrant.
- 25:14Speaker 1: Why well, I mean, this is my point of view here,
- 25:19Speaker 1: and I want to say again, I do not have
- 25:22Speaker 1: the circumstantial evidence that the private investigators are referring to.
- 25:26Speaker 1: That being said, assuming that's another important word here, assuming
- 25:31Speaker 1: the evidence is taken seriously by the authorities, it must
- 25:35Speaker 1: not hold much weight to it. Okay, most circumstantial evidence,
- 25:40Speaker 1: I mean doesn't usually hold much weight, and it usually
- 25:43Speaker 1: takes a lot of circumstantial evidence to really get anywhere,
- 25:46Speaker 1: because that's exactly it. It's circumstantial, right, So either way,
- 25:51Speaker 1: it must be very strong evidence, and they aren't considering
- 25:54Speaker 1: drawing the warrant regarding that. Okay, However, I want to say,
- 26:00Speaker 1: big old However, here you would think with the odd
- 26:03Speaker 1: circumstances like this, you'd want all the information you could get.
- 26:07Speaker 2: Well, that's what I'm thinking.
- 26:08Speaker 1: Yeah, So why wouldn't they at least try for the warrant?
- 26:11Speaker 2: I mean imagine it would get you so not so
- 26:14Speaker 2: many names though, And.
- 26:16Speaker 1: Well even if you look into the last I don't
- 26:19Speaker 1: know hour, Yeah, because it was an hour before his
- 26:23Speaker 1: car was discovered, So how many people could be within
- 26:26Speaker 1: a mile radius of that car in the last.
- 26:29Speaker 2: Hour, well, depending how busy that highway and stuff is.
- 26:31Speaker 2: But also it was very late at night, that's true, right, Yeah,
- 26:35Speaker 2: probably not that many.
- 26:36Speaker 1: I wouldn't imagine there'd be very many around there. So
- 26:40Speaker 1: the knowledge of warrant could provide though, regarding the cell
- 26:43Speaker 1: phones that were active in the immediate area of Jason's disappearance,
- 26:46Speaker 1: could highlight could substantially help identify potential suspects and witnesses, if,
- 26:53Speaker 1: of course, there was anyone there at all.
- 26:55Speaker 2: Yeah, because even if they're not finding this other potential
- 26:58Speaker 2: person that was with them, maybe some one saw something
- 27:00Speaker 2: and they exactly need to recall it, right exactly.
- 27:04Speaker 1: It may not necessarily be a suspect. It could be
- 27:06Speaker 1: just a whitman.
- 27:07Speaker 2: Yeah, I never thought about that. So that makes sense.
- 27:09Speaker 2: Why not.
- 27:10Speaker 1: Yeah, someone could have seen Jason hit a deer and
- 27:13Speaker 1: then him run off who knows what, right, Yeah, the
- 27:17Speaker 1: geofencing information aside, though, there was some more information that
- 27:21Speaker 1: came in which could point towards what happened and potentially
- 27:25Speaker 1: where Jason was going. See, before Jason left, he was
- 27:29Speaker 1: on a FaceTime call with one of his friends. Apparently
- 27:33Speaker 1: he was going to go hang out with them. Now
- 27:36Speaker 1: the friend had actually screen recorded the call. Why he
- 27:41Speaker 1: did this because, quote, man, Jason's so high right now,
- 27:46Speaker 1: he's not going to remember what he's saying. Shit, So
- 27:51Speaker 1: this friend hit record thinking the whole conversation was funny
- 27:54Speaker 1: and wanted to show it to Jason later.
- 27:56Speaker 2: Oh no, meanwhile he knows that his friend's like driving.
- 28:01Speaker 1: Well about two yikes. Yeah. So one unfortunate thing is though,
- 28:07Speaker 1: the video does not have any audio, so the conversation
- 28:11Speaker 1: is up to the recollection of Jason's friend who actually
- 28:13Speaker 1: did the screen recording, but there is video at least now.
- 28:17Speaker 1: In the video, Jason is seen rolling the exact joints
- 28:20Speaker 1: that officials say state troopers would recover from his backpack
- 28:24Speaker 1: hours later, and in fact, there has actually been bodycam
- 28:27Speaker 1: footage released and it shows the moment that these were
- 28:30Speaker 1: recovered from his backpack. Okay, now, Jason's friend did their
- 28:34Speaker 1: best to recollect the conversation that they had during the
- 28:37Speaker 1: video call, and he said, they're talking about spiritual awakening
- 28:43Speaker 1: and enlightenment and opening his third eye and drug consumption.
- 28:47Speaker 1: According to Jeff Ferry of the Calwells County Sheriff's Office,
- 28:52Speaker 1: So that quote that I just read was from Jeff
- 28:54Speaker 1: Ferry recollecting the conversation with the friend who was screen record. Yeah,
- 29:03Speaker 1: does that make sense? Yes, So it's a third party quote,
- 29:06Speaker 1: but I guess.
- 29:06Speaker 2: It don't totally mean what the quote means.
- 29:09Speaker 1: But they're talking about spiritual awakening and enlightenment and opening
- 29:13Speaker 1: his third eye and drug consumption.
- 29:16Speaker 2: Okay, wow yeah hmm.
- 29:19Speaker 1: So using drugs, hallucinogenics whatever it is, for enlightenment and
- 29:26Speaker 1: opening a third eye spiritual awakening.
- 29:29Speaker 2: Wow. Okay, that's a very interesting conversation to have with
- 29:33Speaker 2: someone before you go missing, isn't it?
- 29:36Speaker 1: Like very isn't it?
- 29:38Speaker 2: I would be very concerned if like that was you,
- 29:40Speaker 2: for example.
- 29:41Speaker 1: Oh, that is wild. That is wild conversations to have
- 29:46Speaker 1: first and foremost before driving yeah. And second of all, yeah,
- 29:51Speaker 1: right before you go missing.
- 29:52Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, yeah, that's very alarming.
- 29:56Speaker 1: Now, these conversations and topics would also align with Jason's
- 29:59Speaker 1: recent his story search on the Internet, leading apparents.
- 30:03Speaker 2: Those freaking Internet searches. It can't even clear them, really,
- 30:08Speaker 2: you can't. Well you can't not to authorities exactly.
- 30:12Speaker 1: Yeah, they can dig down. If someone really wants to
- 30:14Speaker 1: know what's been on your computer, they can find it.
- 30:16Speaker 1: Even if you hit that delete history.
- 30:17Speaker 2: I'm sure some people know how to permanently delete it though.
- 30:20Speaker 1: Yeah, by breaking your computer.
- 30:23Speaker 2: Well, there has to be some other way, you think,
- 30:25Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 30:27Speaker 1: His Google search would also include things such as this
- 30:31Speaker 1: quote how long can you live in the woods without food?
- 30:35Speaker 1: And or how long can you go in the wilderness?
- 30:38Speaker 1: End quote, along with parent topics surrounding spiritual awakening, drugs
- 30:43Speaker 1: and psychedelics.
- 30:44Speaker 2: Wow, okay, and I was also waiting to see you
- 30:48Speaker 2: had something to do with like a cult of sorts.
- 30:50Speaker 2: But this is interesting. But they did a lot of
- 30:54Speaker 2: searching in those woods, so you think that they would
- 30:57Speaker 2: have found him, You would think, huh, those are okay.
- 31:06Speaker 1: I'm watching the Gears turn I know this.
- 31:08Speaker 2: Is just unbelievable. This is I'm really going down a
- 31:12Speaker 2: rabbit hole in my brain right now. This is not
- 31:13Speaker 2: really what I expected.
- 31:15Speaker 1: Well, where is your brain going? What sort of rabbit
- 31:18Speaker 1: hole are you currently diving down?
- 31:19Speaker 2: Well, at first it was like, gosh, is he joining
- 31:21Speaker 2: like some sort of cults like that He's never gonna
- 31:24Speaker 2: be found or come out of this right or is
- 31:27Speaker 2: it going to be like years that he does or
- 31:29Speaker 2: is he just on his own and wanting to be
- 31:31Speaker 2: doing some sort of spiritual awakening on his own?
- 31:35Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 31:35Speaker 2: But then.
- 31:37Speaker 1: Okay, sorry, I had to like stop it. I distracted Nicole.
- 31:40Speaker 1: Our dog was like super dreaming and stuff, and she
- 31:42Speaker 1: was starting to like make a lot of noise. I
- 31:44Speaker 1: don't know if you guys could hear it anyway.
- 31:46Speaker 2: So I was hell undistracted. But anyway, just to go
- 31:49Speaker 2: off go on that again. I feel like he would
- 31:53Speaker 2: have been found if he was on his own doing
- 31:55Speaker 2: this in the wilderness mostly searches, is my thoughts. So
- 32:00Speaker 2: that's why I'm like, is he somewhere else that's like
- 32:03Speaker 2: some sort of cult thing or like, because if he
- 32:06Speaker 2: did this on his own, I just think that they
- 32:07Speaker 2: would have found him.
- 32:08Speaker 1: I mean most likely, but it's clearly we don't know
- 32:12Speaker 1: for sure because they did, okay, fifty square mile search.
- 32:16Speaker 1: What if he just so happened to be walking at
- 32:20Speaker 1: a pace that took him at fifty five miles away?
- 32:25Speaker 1: I guess who knows? Right, that's what happened.
- 32:30Speaker 2: Long time though, and like a long ways and he's
- 32:32Speaker 2: not dressed for this, and he's not like did he
- 32:36Speaker 2: have a shoes on it? And stuff? Right? Like would
- 32:39Speaker 2: he have made it that far in these conditions?
- 32:42Speaker 1: That's that's a big question. So where am I now?
- 32:48Speaker 1: Oh right? Even more interesting though, is in the video
- 32:52Speaker 1: with the FaceTime call and Jason and his friend, Jason
- 32:54Speaker 1: is actually sweating heavily with large wet spots in his
- 32:59Speaker 1: shirt underneath the arms in his armpits. Now, this is
- 33:02Speaker 1: a sign, police say, may very well indicate a reason
- 33:05Speaker 1: for Jason stripping down to nothing, even in the cold
- 33:08Speaker 1: December temperatures. If he was under the influence and he
- 33:13Speaker 1: was driving, it's reasonable to think that a solo accident
- 33:15Speaker 1: could occur. It's also reasonable to think that he may
- 33:18Speaker 1: act upon some of his Google search terms, and finally,
- 33:23Speaker 1: reasonable to think that he could have just stripped down.
- 33:26Speaker 1: He could have been overheating for one reason or another,
- 33:29Speaker 1: depending on his consumption of what he had in his system.
- 33:33Speaker 2: Yeah, like he could have just been so under the influence,
- 33:37Speaker 2: like you do weird shit, right. But then I also again,
- 33:40Speaker 2: I'm like that they probably would have found him.
- 33:42Speaker 1: That is the big part here. There should be a
- 33:47Speaker 1: sign of Jason somewhere. Yeah, but there's not. That is
- 33:51Speaker 1: the problem.
- 33:52Speaker 2: Why unless while he was doing this his episode, someone
- 33:56Speaker 2: just like picked him up.
- 33:58Speaker 1: Or maybe he was a stow away somewhere. Maybe he
- 34:01Speaker 1: jumped on board a truck or something.
- 34:03Speaker 2: Oh shit, yeah, who knows. I mean, there's probably a
- 34:07Speaker 2: million ideas you could come up with.
- 34:09Speaker 1: Oh yeah, right, the list goes on. So police believe
- 34:13Speaker 1: it's actually reasonable to think that nothing suspicious has taken
- 34:16Speaker 1: place and others may not actually be involved. They believe
- 34:21Speaker 1: he was on his way to see a friend in
- 34:23Speaker 1: his hometown and ended up in an accident and due
- 34:26Speaker 1: to his inebriation, basically just ran off. Now Officer Ferry,
- 34:33Speaker 1: the one that I was referring to earlier, believes this,
- 34:36Speaker 1: and he actually believes that he's succumbed to the freezing
- 34:39Speaker 1: temperatures and was devoured by wild hogs.
- 34:43Speaker 2: Oh wow.
- 34:44Speaker 1: He believes his body was actually consumed by the animals
- 34:48Speaker 1: in the area and that's why he hasn't been.
- 34:50Speaker 2: Found bones and all.
- 34:52Speaker 1: Well, I mean, pigs are definitely known to be chewing
- 34:56Speaker 1: and eating bones like all of it.
- 35:00Speaker 2: We don't have wild hogs here, so I don't really
- 35:02Speaker 2: know what that looks like.
- 35:03Speaker 1: Actually, apparently there are some in BC.
- 35:06Speaker 2: I've never seen him, but I'd probably be more afraid
- 35:09Speaker 2: of that than seeing a bear.
- 35:11Speaker 1: They are vicious, Like, what the hell is that. I
- 35:14Speaker 1: can't confirm if there is or not. I've just heard stories.
- 35:17Speaker 1: So now, of course this is this is not confirmed,
- 35:20Speaker 1: and it's not the only theory out there.
- 35:23Speaker 2: I imagine there's a lot.
- 35:24Speaker 1: Yeah, but before we move on to the next few
- 35:27Speaker 1: theories that we do have, I just do kind of
- 35:29Speaker 1: want to unpack this whole wild hogs thing a little
- 35:31Speaker 1: bit more. I'm going to say I call bullshit on
- 35:35Speaker 1: wild hogs devouring Jason. Okay, I'm going to just assume
- 35:40Speaker 1: that he's correct that Jason ran off to come to
- 35:43Speaker 1: the freezing temperatures, and let's say for this conversation he
- 35:48Speaker 1: unfortunately did pass away and is lying somewhere in the
- 35:51Speaker 1: bush Okay, let's say that wild hogs did find him
- 35:55Speaker 1: and did start consuming him. You're telling me that how
- 36:00Speaker 1: quickly they started searching seven professional searches over fifty square
- 36:05Speaker 1: miles didn't come up with a single bone.
- 36:09Speaker 2: Okay, So like in that time, there's no way that
- 36:11Speaker 2: the whole remains would be gone.
- 36:13Speaker 1: Correct in your in your onion, I one percent do
- 36:17Speaker 1: not think that the entire body would be gone right,
- 36:20Speaker 1: No way, especially considering how long it would take for
- 36:24Speaker 1: a entire human body to be consumed. Okay, let's say
- 36:29Speaker 1: the pigs are going to go to town and eat
- 36:31Speaker 1: this entire body, every speck of it. Okay, They're not
- 36:37Speaker 1: going to have the time to do that.
- 36:39Speaker 2: I do kind of hate this theory.
- 36:40Speaker 1: I do too, and that's kind of why I'm wanting.
- 36:43Speaker 2: To get very disturbing.
- 36:44Speaker 1: They're not going to have the time to do this
- 36:46Speaker 1: because say you have a whole pack consuming an entire human.
- 36:50Speaker 1: They're concerned about other wildlife in the area and another
- 36:54Speaker 1: and food out there is going to attract coyotes and
- 36:56Speaker 1: attract wolves. These things aren't sticking around long enough to
- 37:00Speaker 1: be gluttonous. They're going to eat their fill and get
- 37:02Speaker 1: on their way. There is no way they're devouring bones
- 37:06Speaker 1: in the wild in do.
- 37:08Speaker 2: They bury their food? No, no, no. I do also
- 37:14Speaker 2: have to say, this is so awful for the parents. Oh,
- 37:18Speaker 2: Like I can't even imagine, because it's no closure whatsoever,
- 37:21Speaker 2: they probably feel like he's still alive somewhere and like
- 37:24Speaker 2: hoping that he just comes home randomly at some point. Yeah, like, gosh,
- 37:28Speaker 2: that's the worst.
- 37:29Speaker 1: And this whole conversation of the wild hogs would one
- 37:32Speaker 1: hundred percent be so bad for family members to listen to.
- 37:36Speaker 1: But that's why I wanted to debunk it, because I
- 37:38Speaker 1: don't think this was the case. I don't think he
- 37:41Speaker 1: went through something that horrific.
- 37:42Speaker 2: Well, I mean, how many wild hogs are they running around?
- 37:45Speaker 2: I have questions about this generally.
- 37:47Speaker 1: I mean, you can find packs of a lot of
- 37:49Speaker 1: wild hogs. Feel it's not typical to be more than
- 37:51Speaker 1: like a dozen.
- 37:52Speaker 2: I feel like it'd be very quick for them to
- 37:54Speaker 2: devour a human body, in my opinion, but not necessarily
- 37:58Speaker 2: the bones.
- 37:58Speaker 1: That shit has to be a while, would be remains,
- 38:01Speaker 1: there would be anyways, Off the wild hogs. Let's get
- 38:05Speaker 1: on to some of the other theories that was I
- 38:08Speaker 1: hated that part of the conversation, but I did want
- 38:10Speaker 1: to throw that out there because I do think it's important.
- 38:12Speaker 1: So anyways, while most of Officer Fairry sorry, while most
- 38:17Speaker 1: such as Officer Fairy, say it's impossible for Jason to
- 38:20Speaker 1: have come into contact with anyone else during his car
- 38:24Speaker 1: drive car ride, I mean up until that moment. There's
- 38:30Speaker 1: no time before that anyone could have joined him. Maybe
- 38:32Speaker 1: after the crash, sure, But this theory brings up the
- 38:36Speaker 1: moment that Jason neglected to make the right hand turn
- 38:39Speaker 1: in the town of Lulling at that intersection where he
- 38:43Speaker 1: failed to turn right and proceed to the I ten Now,
- 38:46Speaker 1: a former FBI agent based in San Antonio by the
- 38:49Speaker 1: name of I'm gonna probably say this is wrong. I'm
- 38:51Speaker 1: going to try Able Penna and his team of private
- 38:55Speaker 1: investigators who are working on his case for free of charge.
- 38:59Speaker 1: He had this to say, quote, perhaps he was not
- 39:03Speaker 1: driving that car that night, and someone else may have
- 39:06Speaker 1: been driving that car. We strongly believe that something happened
- 39:10Speaker 1: at that intersection that caused him to go down that
- 39:12Speaker 1: road that night.
- 39:16Speaker 2: Okay, So saying that he was with.
- 39:19Speaker 1: Someone potentially, yeah, that's what they're saying.
- 39:21Speaker 2: And there took that turn intentionally.
- 39:24Speaker 1: Yes, So the theory that Officer Farry says, there's no
- 39:27Speaker 1: way there was anyone else in the vehicle. He can't
- 39:30Speaker 1: prove that up until after the crash, because now we
- 39:32Speaker 1: have a vehicle on the side of the road. Who
- 39:34Speaker 1: knows how many people could be involved, right, Yeah, but
- 39:36Speaker 1: up until that Officer Ferry says no one else involved. However,
- 39:40Speaker 1: this former FBI agent and a private investigator says otherwise.
- 39:44Speaker 1: He thinks at that intersection, at that moment, someone else
- 39:47Speaker 1: could have joined in or been a part of it somehow. Now,
- 39:52Speaker 1: something interesting that I actually dug up on Reddit. A
- 39:56Speaker 1: Reddit user by the name of responsibility number eight seven
- 39:59Speaker 1: nine eight wrote this, how about he was never in
- 40:04Speaker 1: the car when it crashed. When he switched off the
- 40:07Speaker 1: app and went to snap is when someone else had
- 40:10Speaker 1: his phone and the car. His last snap was his
- 40:13Speaker 1: last Someone had his car and crashed it and tossed
- 40:16Speaker 1: his belongings. Go look where his last blueprint of his
- 40:20Speaker 1: snap was and look there.
- 40:23Speaker 2: Hmmm.
- 40:25Speaker 1: I think they bring up a really good point. Do
- 40:27Speaker 1: we know that he was actually at that car when
- 40:31Speaker 1: it crashed?
- 40:32Speaker 2: Well, yeah, because I even kind of thought about at
- 40:34Speaker 2: one point, like, why would he have just stopped using
- 40:37Speaker 2: Google Maps, like all of a sudden just or knock, sorry,
- 40:39Speaker 2: we got why. I use Google Maps for my navigation,
- 40:43Speaker 2: But like how at that point when he switched to
- 40:45Speaker 2: snap or whatever to check, why wouldn't he be going
- 40:48Speaker 2: back in his map app to know where he's going?
- 40:51Speaker 2: Like at that point, he just all of a sudden
- 40:53Speaker 2: knows where he's going. And I thought that in my head,
- 40:55Speaker 2: but I never said.
- 40:55Speaker 1: Anything, especially if he did make a wrong turn. Yeah,
- 40:58Speaker 1: area he's not familiar with. Yeah, it doesn't make much sense,
- 41:02Speaker 1: that does so. I actually really like what this Reddit
- 41:04Speaker 1: user is kind of talking about. Whether this specifically is
- 41:09Speaker 1: fact or fiction, I don't know, but the idea of,
- 41:12Speaker 1: you know what, maybe he wasn't even in the car,
- 41:14Speaker 1: maybe he left prior to maybe it was at his
- 41:17Speaker 1: last snap location, or maybe it was even before that.
- 41:21Speaker 1: Whoever else was driving could have been using the snapchat app.
- 41:26Speaker 2: And this friend that he was talking to on his phone.
- 41:31Speaker 2: There was never any evidence or anything in there that
- 41:33Speaker 2: he was with anyone though.
- 41:35Speaker 1: Correct correct now. In May of twenty twenty one, Jason's
- 41:41Speaker 1: family announced that they were offering a ten thousand dollars
- 41:44Speaker 1: reward for anyone who had any information on what happened
- 41:47Speaker 1: to Jason. So I do want to put out there
- 41:49Speaker 1: if you have any information regarding the disappearance of Jason Landry,
- 41:53Speaker 1: you can actually contact them and you can even call
- 41:56Speaker 1: anonymously at the number seven to six seven seven seven
- 42:01Speaker 1: one three five nine. I really do hope Jason has
- 42:05Speaker 1: found and I am really adamant that there is no
- 42:07Speaker 1: way I believe that wild hogs devoured him. I think
- 42:11Speaker 1: that is an absurd theory.
- 42:14Speaker 2: In my mind, it's a theory just to be able
- 42:16Speaker 2: to close the case. Potentially it is right.
- 42:20Speaker 1: And one thing in my mind is, Okay, if you
- 42:22Speaker 1: want to look at, say your adamant wild hogs were
- 42:26Speaker 1: responsible for his disappearance, I'll say, look at Robert Picton's case.
- 42:33Speaker 1: He had to grind up his victims. There was still
- 42:38Speaker 1: remains left over years later. Yeah, I'm gonna say that.
- 42:44Speaker 2: Thanks for bringing that up, just saying, just saying Robert
- 42:48Speaker 2: and that was.
- 42:49Speaker 1: Pigs that he fed his victims.
- 42:51Speaker 2: Too, So I'm among some of the other things.
- 42:55Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, that's a very simply, very simplified version. Yeah,
- 43:00Speaker 1: but yeah, so that is the case of Jason Landry.
- 43:06Speaker 1: He is unfortunately to this day missing, But.
- 43:09Speaker 2: There still seems like there's a lot of people working
- 43:11Speaker 2: on this case.
- 43:12Speaker 1: Hey, it is still a very fresh case. It is
- 43:14Speaker 1: an open case. I honestly, I'm not sold that Jason isn't.
- 43:25Speaker 1: I think he might still be alive. The likelihood of it,
- 43:29Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, is a slimmer clearly. However, I think
- 43:34Speaker 1: Jason's still out there. I really do.
- 43:37Speaker 2: Oh, I mean it's not even been two years.
- 43:39Speaker 1: I guess, right, like, yeah, it hasn't.
- 43:42Speaker 2: I mean, in the searches and stuff, that's it's wild.
- 43:45Speaker 2: But then it's also if that was the case with
- 43:50Speaker 2: all those searches and stuff, like why didn't and why
- 43:52Speaker 2: was this gear left behind?
- 43:54Speaker 1: You know, well, if you look at it this way,
- 43:58Speaker 1: he was looking on how to survive out in the
- 43:59Speaker 1: wilderness and spiritual awakening and stuff. Maybe he actually had
- 44:03Speaker 1: the skills to go out and survive. Maybe that's exactly
- 44:05Speaker 1: what he did. I'm not saying that's what happened. I'm
- 44:09Speaker 1: not saying that's likely, but it is a possibility.
- 44:13Speaker 2: It is. But at this point, I feel like you
- 44:14Speaker 2: would have come back.
- 44:16Speaker 1: Who knows, I don't know. There is a chance that
- 44:20Speaker 1: he might just knock on his parents' front door one day,
- 44:23Speaker 1: which would be incredible.
- 44:25Speaker 2: Which would be amazing, Like what a mystery this is,
- 44:28Speaker 2: and just the agony that his parents are and I
- 44:30Speaker 2: just like hate that. But I don't know. I sort
- 44:33Speaker 2: of feel like he would have gotten okay, I like
- 44:37Speaker 2: not like, but it makes sense to me that he
- 44:40Speaker 2: crashed and was like, oh shit, like I'm gonna get
- 44:43Speaker 2: in trouble. Like he's young or whatever, right, and he's
- 44:45Speaker 2: very intoxic. I don't know, under the influence of something, right, yeap,
- 44:50Speaker 2: so I could. But then while he's like trying to
- 44:52Speaker 2: figure this out or something in his state, I feel
- 44:56Speaker 2: like someone might have picked him up. It's possible, and
- 45:00Speaker 2: then depending who picked him up, it's very much so
- 45:04Speaker 2: in question of if he's still alive. So I don't know.
- 45:10Speaker 2: I don't know that this So thanks a lot for this,
- 45:14Speaker 2: because now my brain, I feel like, is just going
- 45:16Speaker 2: a mile minute and I just want to figure it out.
- 45:20Speaker 1: You and a lot of people in this world want
- 45:23Speaker 1: to figure it out.
- 45:25Speaker 2: I bet you there is well I don't even know
- 45:27Speaker 2: what they'd have much to go on, but a lot
- 45:28Speaker 2: of like internet sleuths is that what they're.
- 45:30Speaker 1: Called yeah, webs. If I'm being honest, there's actually very
- 45:34Speaker 1: little out there about this case for research purposes. There's
- 45:38Speaker 1: a lot of small articles, and most of them regurgitate
- 45:41Speaker 1: the same information or at least similar information, So you
- 45:45Speaker 1: got to dig pretty deep to find some of the
- 45:47Speaker 1: different information. Like for me, finding that he liked Swedish
- 45:51Speaker 1: fish was actually a bit of a dig. Yeah. Actually
- 45:55Speaker 1: I found that out because they were raising awareness. They
- 45:58Speaker 1: went and his family had a booth that I can't
- 46:00Speaker 1: remember what it was. It was some sort of like
- 46:03Speaker 1: kind of a farmer's market type thing whatever, and they
- 46:06Speaker 1: were selling Swedish fish at this market with you know,
- 46:09Speaker 1: his wanted poster and stuff or sorry, not wanted poster,
- 46:12Speaker 1: missing poster. And then yeah, they're raising awareness and kind
- 46:16Speaker 1: of raising funds to help search for them, and they
- 46:19Speaker 1: were selling Swedish fish. It's hard to say that's a
- 46:22Speaker 1: ton twister Swedish fish because it's one of his favorite treats.
- 46:27Speaker 2: Oh my gosh. Huh. Yeah, well, yeah, I can't say
- 46:31Speaker 2: one way or the other exactly how I feel like
- 46:33Speaker 2: to process is a bit more, but it would sure
- 46:35Speaker 2: be nice if he was still alive. But you really
- 46:38Speaker 2: much so feel like he is.
- 46:39Speaker 1: Eh, I'm not. I'm not sold that he is, but
- 46:44Speaker 1: I'm I'm hanging on to that he is. I think
- 46:46Speaker 1: there's a good chance. I don't think it's the biggest chance,
- 46:51Speaker 1: but I do still think it's a good chance.
- 46:53Speaker 2: Yeah. And I mean as time goes on, that probably
- 46:55Speaker 2: goes down a little bit, right, So.
- 46:57Speaker 1: In this case, I think it's a bit different. I
- 47:00Speaker 1: think it's different because it's maybe he wandered off on
- 47:04Speaker 1: his own intentionally to just go survive somewhere. Most people
- 47:08Speaker 1: don't wander off on their own with that intention. Most
- 47:10Speaker 1: people go missing on accident. He might have went missing
- 47:14Speaker 1: on purpose.
- 47:17Speaker 2: Yeah, which I just feel like then he would have
- 47:19Speaker 2: brought all his things, some of his things, So I
- 47:22Speaker 2: don't know.
- 47:23Speaker 1: Hard to say, yeah, wow, regardless, that is a case
- 47:27Speaker 1: of Jason Landry. We'd love to hear what you guys think.
