Everyone needs a friend like Jason Watts.
Yeah, he's a good guy. He'll chat with you too. 4 or so years back on Websleuths, he would come by on occasion and we would chat with him with any new possible information.
Absolutely. What an amazing man! 👏
That's a true friend 🙏
He wasn't even a friend,just went to school with him,so makes it even cooler.
In this upside down traumatized world it feels sadly very uncommon, yet always so comforting, to hear two sincere guys having such a very thoughtful and very respectful public conversation - especially about such difficult topics and realities of this life that are close to their hearts, without making it about their egos.
Perfectly put.
There's so many more people like this in the world! The media only focuses on racism, hate, abortions, transgendering, and division of red and blue.
Or diversity that purposely causes division, like drag queens, pronouns for little kindergartens.
It's ALL to create division of opinions instead of agreeing.
Sooo many people, unrecognized, God loving, caring and acceptable people.
Extremely well written and expressed.
Jason and all the people who helped search and found Brandons things are amazing.
This case is heartbreaking but I'm glad they eventually found him
I searched for 8 years. I arrived in San Angelo in 2014. Having seen his name in a local news article and his case- I became quite curious. In fact, @LordanArts, your video on the case and maps- were what drew me in and I became an instant fan and subscriber. I printed out the maps, and once a month as I traveled to Abilene, I'd stop and search- I even started asking people in Bronte questions and trying to make it make sense. I did this over and over, trying to build rapport with folks. I was given info by some, others sure as heck didn't want me sticking my nose into that little town's business. Not gonna lie, I got some surely crooked looks and folks that made that clear! I moved away in late 2021, but I have never stopped wondering what happened. I was releived they found him- but it still doesn't sit right with me, how some people clammed up and stonewalled my research.
I’ve never listened to anything before as many times as I have that 911 call. Prayers for Brandon’s family and friends ❤
I’m with you on that. In every possible mode and speed as well, right? 110% understand what you mean. 🤝
I still only understand three sentences in it. That poor man.
The dedication of lordanarts to this case, the genuine empathy, it's what all true crime content creators should aspire to. The tc community would be so much better off if every creator had this level of integrity & compassion.
💯 percent agree with you!!
So happy to hear Brandons family is close to having closure. Praying for the same with Jason Landry’s case. I’m in TX so I have followed these both closely. I have donated to the go fund me. Thanks you Jason for all you do! ❤❤❤
Some heroes wear boots, some have a camera and microphone. Thank you for sharing this interview. Brandon's disappearance has stuck with me. Landry's disappearance has as well and I am encouraged by Jason's search plans.
So happy to see a Searchlight episode!!! Love this show & all the hard work you guys put into helping these cases get the exposure they need!!
Searchlight has been my favorite segment since the beginning!
Such a relief to put him to rest. This case has been on my mind for years...
I can’t wrap my head around this. To think that sometimes people just sit or lie down and never get back up. I know it happens but it’s frustrating.
He could've easily suffered a rattlesnake bite
The Brandon Lawson case has been covered thoroughly online and this is the best coverage anywhere. I've wondered for a year about any updates regarding the remains that had been found. Great job both John and Jason
Thanks John, this was a really really great re-visit on Brandon Lawson, Jason Watts was so great in giving so many insights into the revisit and ultimately the discovery. I am so happy he is involved in Jason Landry's case as well.
what an awesome guy, really restores my faith in humanity
Only a few minutes in and I'm really impressed with Jason. Extremely articulate.
At work- but wanted you to know this is THE case that started my true crime interest ( and Deanne Hastings very good case)
Can’t wait to get home to watch this! Thank you a John for your continued coverage of so many cases
Same here!
@@putthefuinfun1947 I was haunted by it- still am. The weirdest things went on. And now they find him?? Just baffling
@Not Chins Tracy pieces of his remains/clothes were found on private property that hadn't yet been searched because the owners live out of state. He wasn't too far off from his last known position. With how high he was off meth it isn't surprising he was acting so paranoid, and speaking out of breath and scared. He probably became dehydrated which caused his kidneys to fail. Lost consciousness, and died. Ended up being food for the wild life.
@@putthefuinfun1947really!? Not finished the video yet but this comment is how I found out the end of this mystery! Poor family...good episode of London arts though 👌
This was my second case that I took a deep dive in, Maura Murray was the first … have spent countless hours thinking about these two cases. I really think they found him, it’s just slow going.
Come on guys hit that like button👍
Mr Lordan Arts deserves so much for all the hard work ye does,never drama or over sensationalize any cases. His decorum and integrity is 100000%
💯 percent agree
No suspense background music, no crazy faces, no no creepy voice. Definitely pure and sincere interest for the victims and family’s closure.
I can't believe it's been almost 10 years since I stumbled upon your channel and commented. You allowed me to put you in contact with my uncle and you have stayed on the case ever since... I appreciate your dedication to bringing light to my cousin's case!
Additionally I would like to thank Jason Watts for his hard work and dedication.
I am one of John's Community Managers I will make sure he sees your comment on Monday
I appreciate it. I don't think we'd be remotely close to answers or closure without the attention given by John or the tireless dedication of searchers who finally found Brandon's clothing and probable remains.
Thank you so much Mason. This case changed me in so many ways. One of my biggest honors was to be there for Ladessa when we did the Crawlspace Live show at CrimeCon, and Jason Watts has become a great friend over the years.
Thanks for coming on and joining Jason! I’ve always wanted to see a good recap of this case, really glad you did this ❤
Thank God for you and your team doing things that the cops are too lazy or uninterested in doing
couldn't have said it better myself, 100%
what a great case to close out searchlight Fridays. thank you John for every single thing you do for all these families. Thanks to his old school buddy who never gave up❤
I’m so happy 😁 I’m going for the best in life today lol 😆 lol 😆 lol 😆 lol 😝
I just love Jason. I met him for a millisecond at crime con. Such a compassionate, intelligent, good human. And, a good sense of humor, when not focused on serious issues.
Jason is a hero, really. What he’s done goes beyond Brandon & his family, its inspired other organizers & searches (& probably families).
I know if you talked to him on August 8th, 2013, he never would have expected this. His life was changed and he’s become a very well known, well respected figure in the true crime community. I even met a few girls with crushes.
He’s a rock star but instead of giving music to the world he’s giving hope.
Sending good juju to him, and to John, and to Ladessa, Brad, the kids- everyone who loved Brandon.
Thank you. I hope I get the opportunity to meet you again.
@@jasonwatts1598Are you going to CrimeCon this year in Nashville! Several of us would like to meet you.
@sandyshirley5079 yes I will be there. I am now assisting with the Jason Landry case. I will be there at their table next to Ninja Nancy. Just ask for me if I'm not there.
John! Jason! So glad Ladessa and Brandon's family has had closure with his discovery. Jason, I can not tell you how much respect I have for you for your dedication in finding Brandon and for all the hard work and long hours that never swayed you away from solving the mystery of his whereabouts. John, your videos are always a pleasure to watch, and I thank you for always being the Godfather of True Crime. You and the guys with Crawlspace where the 2 first youtubers that really turned me into a true crime junkie. I have tons of respect for you John for being the voice for all of the missing and victims out in the world that need their story told and their voices to be heard. Tons of Love and Respect for you both.
I know John appreciate your nice Comment. I am one of his Community Managers and I will make sure he sees your comment ☺️
I've been following you for years now and i swear it's clear to see that you care about each and every one of the heartbreaking cases you cover. Bless you! 🙏🏻 and may you rest in peace Brandon ❤
This has always been such a head scratcher to me.. So very glad Brandon was finally found! Thank you to all who searched all these years! Prayers for the family.. So glad they have finally gotten some of sort answer. At least to finding where he was. I pray they now have at least some peace.. I hope they eventually get answers to all their questions.. May Justice be done if it is found that a crime did occur.. My heart goes out to this family.. So grateful for all Jason has done to help this family! May God bless all of them..
Whew what a long torturous process,thank you for being relentless in your pursuit.
Jason's retelling his part just brought tears to my eyes when they go to the cross. I know finding Brandon remains put one chapter away, but I truly hope we find out the whole story and Brandon's family get all the answers.
I love love love Lordanarts and John and his team. The caring and deep dive into each case is amazing. Thank you for all your hard work!
What a nice person is Jason. You two are very caring people. Thank you for this episode John.
I can't imagine a family coming to me, as a land owner, distraught and heartbroken, looking for a missing loved one and me saying...sorry this is mine!! Your not stepping foot on it!! I just don't get it. I understand owning property is a prideful thing but come on man!! Makes me really question some people's moral compass and compassion
They worry about being sued if someone gets hurt on their property. A legitimate fear in today’s sue happy society.
@Mike Bond I do understand that Mike. It's just frustrating. Have then sign a freaking waiver or something if that's the concern
@@craigrock8444Some people don’t know that. We’ve had acreage and allowed our neighbor to let his horses graze. But I drew the line on kids playing there and building treehouses. When you talk to parents and offer to split costs on drawing up legal paperwork to sign, they keep children out. I’d expect parents to supervise or check out the area, even then. And that’s sad when kids have so few open spaces to play.
This case is strikingly similar to Brandon Swanson who went missing under similar circumstances to Brandon Lawson but his whereabouts are as yet to be discovered but the most likely conclusion is that he met a similar fate to Brandon Lawson but his remains simple haven't been found yet but this is one I would also like to see solved in the future
I agree, I would also like to see Brandon Swanson’s case solved as well.
Yes the Swanson case is really wild, it’s like he just vanished. I think he went missing near a River so chances are he is in the water somewhere. My heart goes out to the family of Brandon Swanson. I have a son, I can’t imagine being on the phone and an accident happening and never hearing a word.
I can’t believe I missed this update! I am so glad for the family! Thank you for all of your hard work!
Great questions, John, and great story telling by Jason. Your love and care shines thru, on both of you. Thanks so much for this. Brandon's story is heartbreaking, no matter what actually happened.
Thank you John for all your hard work!
IMO his brother Kyle's interview (Crawlspace podcast) provides the best context to what happened than any other analysis of this story, including the 911 call. Just in the first five minutes he relates that two days before the "incident" Brandon hooked up with his dope dealer "to get high", and from that moment on, was hard to get hold of (according to Kyle) and acting erratic and agitated, all the way up to his disappearance. I think he was given some bad dope and and it caused his crazed, paranoid behavior over the next couple days, culminating in him freaking out in the middle of the night and thinking there were people out to get him. In the end I believe his paranoid state caused him to run off into the desert and he ultimately died of exposure and dehydration.
I was fortunate enough to get to hear his story of finding Brandon at the true crime podcast festival in Dallas last year. Such a great story. I still can’t believe he’s been found.
Why were you fortunate to hear his story? He was a sex offender he likes little kids the guy deserves the worst. He hurt so many children. You shouldnt write comment unless you know the story.
@@LiseFornier wow really?im sorry but I’ve never heard that. Do you have a link or something?
@@LiseFornier and you don’t have to be so condescending. That’s not a great way to win people to your side. Of course I can’t know everything about some person on the internet. Just tell me what happened and don’t be a jerk about it. I’d never support a pedophile. If you are the person he hurt I’m so sorry and hope you’re doing better now.
Thank you for your thoughtfulness while interviewing. This is so heartbreaking.
I do feel, however, that your guest was reticent to say anything too disparaging about the PD and Sheriff's Dept. I think they know more than they're telling, and for them to just sweep this under the rug is horrible.
I'm also glad you brought up other missing person cases that have been undolved. Never forget.
You guys are heroes! John, Jason, all the family, friends, searchers, police, and the land owners! Bless you all! I WISH I could donate! I'd give the full $500 if I could! I can't even give 50 cents right now. Thank you to you all!
You can’t give 50 cents. What a ridiculous thing to say. Why even say anything? To pretend you want to make a donation but don’t actually want to? You could go outside and find 50cents in 10 minutes or look in your sofa and find $20. If you wanted to you would have.
What a stupid comment, you dont have 50 cents, really?😂🤦♀️
You should make a video on Margaret Alana Turner. She went missing in the Houston area after apparently having a mental crisis, driving away from deputies through the woods in her car. She's been missing about two weeks now.
Hello here is the link for Case Suggestions www.brainscratchers.com/suggest-a-case
I live in that area, had not heard a word about this case. I’m so curious as to what happened to her.
I would love to hear the truck drivers 911 call. There is a whole lot of time between the trucker seeing the truck with no one around to the police and his brother showing up and brandon still being alive at that point and with Brandon's own 911 call in the middle of everything. It's all out of order
Brandon was on the phone with his brother when he was able to see his brother and the deputy that pulled up. I'd imagine a yell or waving of his phone light. There is a huge disconnect. If Brandon can see them why not walk to them or yell out? Did he run away from them or how far was he that his eyes could see but could not get to?
To be that close to him while alive and to hear him say he was able to see them, I can only imagine the what-ifs.
That BS doesn't add up.
And his brother left.. Why??
I think the length of time it’s taken to analyze this recovery simply signifies that more evidence and clues ended up being found + retrieved from this specific location. They found more than any other search crew could ever dream to find! This crew being made to exit for CSI experts to be ushered onto the scene = there’s no way they can’t unravel the night’s event’s! I hope so..I want to know WHY this all went down…
Hopefully. I haven't heard anything yet
You two are amazing men! Doing so much good and actually changing the world in such a positive way with such traumatic events that have happened to families. So much love❤
Jason, your tireless work to find answers and help Brandon’s family find peace is truly inspiring and humbling. You have done an absolutely beautiful thing.
John your coverage has always been compassionate and dedicated. Well done to both of you
Glad that Brandon has been found. Hopefully confirmation will be soon. I hope that Jason will be found soon so Mr Landry can put in to rest properly. And Ty Jason for all of your hard work and dedication to finding Brandon. And John ty for all of your kind and respectful coverage of these cases and all you bring to the spotlight. ❤
Here on the 10 year mark by accident. I just happened to comeback for updates and just can't get this man out of my head. I never will believe that his intoxication or own doing would ever get him to be wiped from the face of the earth for years.
❤️ This is epic, to see 2 awesome people come together & collaborate; I look forward to seeing more video's of Jason & John together.
I just adore you John. ;) you are Definitely may favorite RUclipsr ❤
So pleased Jason is looking into the Landry case. An incredible man
I guess it just makes me sad and angry that the onus of finding the missing falls on to friends, families, volunteers and organizations instead of law enforcement. Are they underfunded, understaffed, underequipped? The question is rhetorical because it's probably all of the above, and things shouldn't be that way. Mr. Lawson should have been found years ago. That aside, John and Jason, thank you for doing all that you can. We can never underestimate the power of well-researched and thoughtful reporting, and the boots-on-the-ground approach is fundamental. I pray it doesn't take as long to find Mr. Landry. Hugs
I got chills listening to the story of the search...
I remember seeing this case on your channel. I never forgot about it. I hope we can get some answers today. Thank you so much for the love you put into your work, John.
Everyone involved are a credit to humanity 🙏
i can tell this case was hard on you. hard on those that personally care too. I just want to thank you for sharing this with us and say if you needa cry that's okay. these are hard cases
Awesome news that he is found and happy for his family he can finally be laid to rest. Hopefully how he passed will be figured out. Would love to see a break like this in the Brandon Swanson case !!!
Well I’m bawling! I’ve always had so much admiration for Jason and John ❤️❤️
John your show on this case was what got me into true crime on RUclips!! Thank you for your channel and hard work you do !!
Thank you to everyone involved in helping with this case❣️
So glad this story is getting more attention
We’re all glad he was found. What happened to him was so mysterious and it’s nice we have some sense of closure with this case.
It wasn't mysterious at all anyone who's taken that stuff or speed knew exactly what happened to him and when his brother went on the crawlspace podcast and confirmed all this it was confirmed.what happened to him he'd taken his first bit in six months freaked out and had a heart attack in the bush
@@goodtimes7277 Your theory is plausible but full of assumptions. The truth is we do not know what happened which means it is a mystery despite your confidence.
@@sandilou2U Indeed - coulda been a snake even!
@@igitha..._ I was just thinking that... he could have run into a venomous snake.
@@goodtimes7277 meth psychosis is real. He may have thought he was being chased. It really explains it all. He was hallucinating
Jason gets Boots on the ground and finds the person. GOOD WORK JASON .
This was informative and is great to see that people still care. ❤
Excellent interview! And, of course, heartbreaking...
Thank you for all that you did for Brandon's family, this was my favorite video you made brother. I'm so glad that there are people like you John, it gives me some hope for the human race. ( I'm a paramedic in CO) so I have seen this kind of panic in patens many times, we call it "exited delirium" We have many medications in the ambulance to help so it is very hard for me to listen him scared like that without getting any help. I followed this case for almost 10 years so it broke my heart when his body was found. RIP Brandon 😉🤙☮
Jason went above and beyond.
It wasn't easy but he kept going.
I remember actually trying to set aside money to go to Texas for a week, not tell anyone local what I was doing and starting off at the truck site and just walking 4-5 miles. Turn around n do it all over again. I remember actually talking to Ladessa n us both saying someone could go out there n find him. I knew he wasn’t far from that truck
Looking up information on Brandon Lawson’s case is how I discovered LordanArts in 2018. Thanks John for your compassion and quality of work, wishing you growth and success.
Im so glad he slowed down and took us through every step & moment of the discovery. Its truly something so rare & that feeling is the reason people watch true crime, and its even more meaningful to the families who finally are receiving answers. This man's hard work, along with his search team: is so powerful, and so amazing. The photo of him afterward was so telling of how exhausted everyone was. But still he persisted ❤ and he brought his childhood friend home
I love all your videos 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
This is the most interesting case ive ever heard of. How did he die within a mile of his truck?? Makes absolutely zero sense
It seems like he'd been running around the area for hours that night, and came back to his truck at one point even. Water, animals, cliffs, rocks are all very possible dangers to someone too.
@Benleyy someone killed him.
Good job. 💯😢
Wow I had no idea there were any further developments in this case. I am dying to see some correlation btwn his dying on a very nearby property and his clearly terrified state of mind
I have been intrigued by the Brandon Lawson case for such a long time and what happened to him after that phone call and now that his remains have been found it at least brings some sort of comfort for his family although it's still not clear exactly how he died I feel he was either being chased that night and was frantically calling for help on his phone but was then caught by the people chasing him and they murdered him or else he was suffering from paronia after taking a substance of some sort and wandered off and ended up succumbing to the elements I feel those are the 2 logical outcomes about how he met his death hopefully that bit gets completely solved in the future
Beyond stunned , John. And the way it’s phrased right here 53:54 is very fitting. Now that he’s found, IMO, once all the evidence recovered from this search is fully analyzed, a special Think tank could piece together that night. Like said in this discussion, forensic + archeological science has come so far in 2023,,,IMO, enough is found to still determine BL’s plight - if his death was criminal, or natural.
First time hearing about this. Sad and awesome at the same time. God Bless you all.
Great episode! And congratulations to all. One person can change the world!
This was so interesting, thanks to both of you for the perspective. I hope Brandon’s loved ones can find some peace.
Always thought Brandon said he or they'd pushed the truck to the side, indicating side of the road after it ran out of gas. Sad the cause will likely never be known, BUT thank goodness for people like Jason and you
Very happy I discovered this Channel?
I subscribed. I'm familiar with this case. And realize how difficult it is searching Private Lands with Volunteers? There are Liabilities?
However, Jason's approach was very smart!
Jason Watts is an amazing man and friend.
This just goes to show that never giving up researching ideas and never assuming something was already done or a place was already searched?
Brandon could have been attacked by a wild hog?
I've heard of people getting tangled in cachilla cactus which is worse than a briar bush or tangle of barbed wire?
What terrible shame to loose his life so close to home?
Jason was so smart to wait until the grasses died down in Winter, early Spring to do the searches?
Simply AMAZING podcast fellows🙌🏻
The Landry case drove me crazy. I listened to that 911 call over and over then went back many times to listen to it. I wish we knew everything. Im glad they found him. God bless the family and friends.
Praying for Dylan Rounds and family and friends. That one is sad too. He was so mature and responsible. Condolences to his mom and dad.
Wow! Such huge dedication! A hero in my eyes, and I'm sure in Brandon's family eyes too.
We ALL want to know what happened to Brandon. Breaks my heart, but so glad he was found.
Total admiration!!! ❤
I cannot imagine that a landowner would not allow for someone to search their land....not hunt or destroy..but just to search for a loved one whose possessions (truck) was left in the vicinity. I think that is so cruel, and could have spared his loved ones lots of grief early on. The not knowing is the worst. Very good and compassionate coverage, but Lordanarts always is compassionate.
@jason watts you are amazing. Wow. I love your compassion and tenacity. I have followed John for a very long time. Two great men. Two fine Americans. ❤❤❤
I had three cases I prayed would be solved (fully to an identification).
The Boy In The Box (Joseph Zarelli)
Brandon Lawson
Donnie Messier
Within one year, each had a major update!💚
It’s time to pick my next three cases that I want solved. I don’t want to sound rude, but Brandon had a gorgeous smile!
Adding: when she says do you need an ambulance or something like that, he says ‘yes’, then corrects himself & says ‘no I need police’. People have said a lot that he was talking to someone with him. I’ve made this mistake plenty. I think he was alone. And that sounds like a big truck driving over a bridge. Not a gunshot. And if I’m not mistaken, he said to Kyle in that interview, ‘where’s you’re pride mother f^cker’.
Edited to add: you never know that one thing you do for someone that you wouldn’t think of or knew how it would impact someone for the rest of their life.
I had a guy named Darryl help me b/c my middle/high school kids were so horrible to each other & he stepped in to help me. I’ve never forgot that. And sadly he won’t ever know b/c he killed himself a few months later.
If someone says I can’t find this person, can I search your property, I’d say without hesitation, ‘absolutely & I’ll help’. I’d be so grief stricken, if someone was on my property and they could have been saved, or their body could have been found faster. That land owner is a blessing! Wait a minute: I would mail him the key to the gate & had him mail it back after.
***Jason, you are a stand up guy, so proud of what a good friend/ person you are***
OMG that comment about not stopping the search due to weather made me just cry my eyes out. I would have done the same.
I agree. I think Brandon was alone when he dialled 911. Let's hope the next cases you pray for are also solved! I've been hoping and praying for justice in the Delphi case, and that seems close too 🙏
I agree with all points, but I would have searchers sign a waiver if it were my property. We’re talking overgrown wilderness & holes.
I wouldn’t want inexperienced people running around, or families (I’ve seen families searching for missing kids in city park environments. I guess it teaches the kids to care & be active, but I also immediately think “God I hope they don’t find anything that kid shouldn’t see).
But people familiar with the terrain who agree not to sue if they twist an ankle? Absolutely. I’d come down to serve cold drinks. If it’s too far, I’d send pizza.
I get property owners wanting to protect themselves, and they can easily write up a waiver, but I can’t imagine blocking an organized search.
I think this case may have been the first time that I thought about it through the landowner point of view. I just couldn’t understand blocking searchers at first.
@@gypsydonovan~ Absolutely agree. In a comment of mine about a year or two ago, I said I’d have them sign a waiver. I just didn’t say it in this comment. But I could never ever live with myself if I said no & he was on my property. Nothing to see on my property but holes my dogs dig & a hobbit hole house. I’m so glad he was found! But all 3 I hoped for in a matter of months! It gave me the chills. (Not all solved, but at least a huge update & ID).
@@UnassimilatedRG~ Joseph’s case bothered me b/c I had a grandson (I still do, (I now have 6 grandsons & 1 granddaughter) but that age & look), Jayden looked like him. And I thought ‘you SOB how dare you hurt him, kill him, sexually abuse him, leave him naked & alone). I still tear up/cry for him. Any kid. But when they look like one of your family members, it gets me even more. I thought his killer would be dead & burning in Hell, by now. But for me, just getting his name back was a win in my mind. What was it like 60 years with no name & he was 4. Heart breaking.
Donnie’s case is close to me b/c he went missing 1/10 of a mile from my house. His truck was found 20 mins down the road in the river, but he’s not found. But his family told Adventures With Purpose to count it as a ‘solved case’. So I’m that’s where that has to stay until he is found. And Brandon being found is another.
I do care about missing people & think they shouldn’t be, by someone else’s hands. Or by an accident. But a few will always hit you hard. There is a case of a lady, but I’ve got two more cases if someone wants to suggest for me.
Anyone heard of a mom with 3 daughters, went to Harvard or Yale. A African American lady named Shanaynay Brown I think? Spelling might be wrong. From down south I think. Ayla Reynold’s case as well.
Edited to add: I’m an idiot. Brianna Maitland was who I was thinking of but was in the land of no where. She’s from my state.
Similar to Maura Murray in that evidence implicates that both individuals were unwilling to interact with law enforcement in the midst of a developing situation.
Lordon...Thank you for letting this story unfold and allowing your friend to give us such an intimate , detailed account of it, especially on the ground with his fellow searchers....and not interrupting him or trying to move the story along. We don't get that kind of patience with a lot of interviewers.
One big missing point , and not a criticism.... What happened with the land owner? What was his reaction to the news of these remains being found on his property? I assume he recovered?? Thanks again.
Cults Crimes and Cabernet is a great podcast! It’s like Searchlight for the ears. Lol
I've never forgotten this case since John first covered it. So glad they solved it.
So remains were found and that's absolutely great but actually finding out what happened is another story without an ending😢
Love their Bromance!
Ohhhh I was thinking about the Landry young man while you’ll are talking about Brandon. Wow so glad you’ll be working on his case … wow
❤ absolutely love this channel always have
How could it not be criminal when Brandon said he was being chaced
Most of my life I’ve had a true passion for true crime, crime mystery, but my primary focus always on mysteries disappearances. As an Austin, TX native, the cases that have stuck with me the most have been Brandon Lawson’s and in the recent years, Jason Landry’s. The local authorities dropped the ball on this case from the start!!
Literally a mile away from this man’s truck and it took a dude that knew this guy in HS, his years of commitment, determination, and a group of kind hearted volunteers part of one day, all these years later to find him? Perhaps his life could of been saved had real efforts been made by local authorities from the start. Or at the very least this family could of had closure, Brandon laid to rest sooner, and way more answers to what happened to him that night, had things been done properly from the start!!! I’m glad confirmation has been made of what we all knew, that he was out there somewhere. But we will never know what truly happened that night. If it weren’t for Jason Watts, finding him would of never been possible. Great job on all your hard work and dedication!!! I truly believe you will also find Jason Landry!
Brandon said: "The State Police just pulled some guys over." He just slurred it in a Texas accent while he was hurriedly talking to 911. Now, if indeed the Texas State Police really did pull some guys over, there should be a record of that in the Highway Patrol logs somewhere. Where are those, and why haven't we seen them yet?
How long does it take to confirm the ID ? Is it him? Why does it take so long? Did they find foul play on the remains?
Amazing!
