Jason Landry, a freshman at Texas State University, has been missing for three and a half years after authorities found his car wrecked and abandoned about a mile from where he was last seen – in the opposite direction he was traveling.

His family is still waiting for answers – and praying that someone will come forward with information or that the police can solve the now unsolved case.

“They don't even know if he's missing in a crime sense – or if he's missing and hasn't been found,” his father, Kent Landry, told Fox News Digital.

His son was last seen leaving his apartment in San Marcos on the evening of December 13, 2020. According to his family, he was on his way home to Missouri City for Christmas break after his first semester.

He never made it.

A volunteer firefighter found his abandoned car in Luling, Texas, after midnight on December 14. The vehicle had strayed about a mile from Landry's route home and was heading the wrong way.

Kent Landry, a former lawyer and current pastor, is counting the days since he last saw his son – when he spoke to Fox News Digital, 1,266 days had passed.

The Landry family is one of several families from across the country who gathered in Nashville, Tennessee, last month to attend CrimeCon in hopes of raising awareness of their loved one's case and perhaps finding clues.

“We are praying and hoping that law enforcement will find someone or that someone who knows something will come forward,” he said. “They can do that anonymously or contact law enforcement so they can give us final answers.”

The elder Landry says he understands investigators' frustration with the case – they deal with tens of thousands of missing people each year and have limited resources.

His family and many others are therefore sitting there hoping and waiting for answers, he added.

A frustrating point in his son's case is that although evidence was secured, it did not lead to the right answers, but only to more questions.

The police found his wallet, some of his clothes and his phone. However, further searches were unsuccessful.

“They've investigated everything they have at their disposal,” he said of the Texas Attorney General's cold case division. “They're still prepared to investigate further and do more if something comes to light. But that's about where they're at … kind of in a holding pattern.”

In July 2022, the family got a glimmer of hope when a man bearing a striking resemblance to Landry was found unconscious on the other side of the country. However, the NYPD eventually identified the man as a missing resident of the neighboring city of Yonkers and returned him to his family there.

A $20,000 reward is being offered for Landry's whereabouts.

He is described as 6'1″ tall with brown eyes and light brown hair. He weighs about 175 pounds and sometimes wears a goatee. Authorities say he has scars on his right ankle and the right side of his neck.

While the Landry family continues to hope for answers, his father is encouraging his supporters to not only distribute his son's missing person flyer, but also to distribute flyers for missing persons in their own community.

He also posted advice for parents and a photo of himself dropping his son off at school as a child.

“Be sure to take the time to enjoy the little things with your kids this summer,” he wrote.
