Vital Statistics
Circumstances of Disappearance:
Landry was last seen in San Marcos, Texas on December 13, 2020. He left his apartment at 10:55 p.m. to drive home to Missouri City, Texas for Christmas Break. He has never been heard from again. On December 14, 2020 at 12:31 AM, Landry's vehicle (2003 Nissan Altima, Texas license plate BV1Y123) was found wrecked and abandoned in the 2300 block of Salt Flat Road just outside of Luling, Texas. The car's lights were on, the keys in the ignition and the front passenger door was locked. Landry's keys, wallet, phone and other personal belongings were inside the car. About 900 feet south of the car was the clothing Landry is believed to have been wearing at the time of the crash. There was no indication that the clothes had been forcibly removed, but there was a small amount of blood on his clothing. Landry's backpack, some toiletry items and a tumbler with his pet beta fish inside (dead) were a short distance away, north of the clothes. On the night of his disappearance, prior to setting out for Missouri City, Landry spoke to a friend via a video call for nearly an hour. His friend thought at the time that Landry seemed "messed up" and probably wouldn't be able to remember the conversation later, so he recorded it. The recording, however, was only of the video; the audio was not captured. The conversation ended after Landry went out to his car and started the drive to Missouri City.
Additional Details:
Later in the day after the vehicle was found, Texas-based nonprofit group Texas Search and Rescue comes on as the lead search team. Texas EquuSearch, a search group on horseback, assisted. Multiple searches have been conducted using dogs trained in detection of human remains, drones, sonar, water searches, and survey by helicopter.
