[@Randy.E.R]

This somewhat reminds me of a missing person case from my home town in the California desert from over 40 years ago. A man named Rod Harris who worked with my Dad used to go fishing in nearby Lake Isabella. Its a man made lake that is regularly stocked with fish. You can sometimes go there and be the only person fishing, other times its packed with people. Rod went fishing one Saturday and was the only person on the lake. Later that day, someone found his fishing boat upside down in the lake, but Rod was nowhere to be found. This was in 1977 and even today his body has never been found. I was only 13 at the time and went to school with his kids. Half the people in town think Rod staged his drowning and started a new life elsewhere. Easy to do back then. But, he had a good family and a happy life (or so it seemed). If he was having an affair it would have been hard to hide in a town that small. But then again, how did he capsize his fishing boat as skilled as he was at fishing. It makes no sense. You would think by now someone would have found him or his body. He was finally pronounced dead in 1978. These stories always bother me because the families never really have closure

[@BucketHeadianHagg]

Omg! We used to fish there too! The best bait was refrigerated bits of bean and velveeta cheese burritos! (I grew up in CA too, but I don’t remember this story. I hope Dr Grande does an upload on it. If you have Patreon, send a suggestion via private message. He always responds!) It’s seems inappropriate to wish you a happy new year under the circumstances of this topic, but I really do wish you a happy new year!

[@shellydesormier4646]

So in this story maybe the fish ate him?

[@Randy.E.R]

@@shellydesormier4646 God only knows what happened to him. At this point, fish eating him wouldn’t be out of the question. Let me add that the Kern County sheriff back in the 1970s weren’t exactly a stellar law enforcement agency.

[@shellydesormier4646]

@@Randy.E.R I understand, back then there was hardly a cohesive LE agency anywhere and they didn’t have computers to aid them. Most LE were still as antiquated as old western sheriffs with their sometimes posses and a rope. A person could easily get themself lost or eaten by fish without anyone having a clue.

Thank you for this episode! I go to the same college as Jason and drive the same route home to Houston. The problem I have with the car jacking theory is that the intersection is usually fairly busy around the holidays, even at night. I guess it’s possible but I feel that it’s a bad intersection for someone to target.

[@nomadscavenger]

I think he picked up a hitchhiker before that first intersection, and that's why he didn't take any of the available/correct right turns, was directed to that dirt road telling him it's where he? wanted to be left off (home?). The switching off directions, to Snapchat at that specific pt. seems very suspicious, like all the rest of it to me. But I'm guessing, of course.😳😥🌻

[@jackmcclary2136]

Theory only:Adult onset schizophrenia with first episodes of psychotic breaks and perhaps mania. Jason tried to self medicate his MH symptoms via street drug usage. His paranoid impulse to hide coupled with being young and physically fit made recovery of his body difficult due to his ability to travel far from the crash site until he was exhausted and succumbed to the elements. Foraging animals far from the presumed but incorrect search area will make it even more difficult to recover any remains.

My exact initial thoughts. They didn't value his life at all. How hard would it have been to just freaking look seeing as though his clothes were strewn right there. Missed opportunity to find him soon after or at least some evidence and clues if there was foul play involved. They didn't even try. Its just vile how they were just "oh well..."

It's possible that his clothing was discarded because he became hypothermic in the 30° weather. At a certain point in the process, hypothermia makes you feel very warm, and people often take off layers of clothing in an attempt to cool down, which of course only accelerates the process of freezing to death. This is something we see in the Dyatlov Pass incident.

Assuming that he removed his own clothing, he could've been experiencing paradoxical undressing which is a late stage symptom of hypothermia.

[@idellekell]

A head injury could've also been a factor? Sometimes people can walk around with a bad injury like that. He'd be very confused.

[@TheOriginalCFA1979]

There’s a picture in the video of the car running in the ditch. And it was only barely below freezing. So he got his car stuck in the ditch and left the heated interior to stand outside the car for hours at which point he undressed and wandered off? Doesn’t make sense. Paradoxical undressing happens because your body will start to feel like it’s burning from the cold, and your brain is too close to dying to think rationally. It doesn’t happen the second a cold breeze hits your neck. It’s *late* stage hypothermia, as in when you’re already essentially dead. I know it was said the rear window was smashed, but be realistic, are you gonna leave the sheltered interior to stand on the side of a dirt road? And if the heat was still working in the car it’s going to be better to sit there with the vents aimed at you then to sit on the side of the road. And my impression was the clothes were next to the car, not as if he had been trying to walk out for hours and finally the cold got him.

When my mother was growing up, she lived on her grandfather's farm. A nearby neighbor was a pig farmer who mysteriously disappeared. Nobody saw him leave his property or in town. His vehicle was parked in it's usual spot. His house, where he lived alone, was not locked. Then, one of the searchers found a single button from his overalls in the pig's trough. They theorized that he had suffered some medical condition that either rendered him unconscious or instantly ended his life. They believed that his pigs consumed him after he collapsed into their food trough. Jason's body disappearing in this way is plausible. It's sad because, if this is truly what happened, there will never be any trace of him that will be found.

[@BonnieGillespieLive]

SUCH a great point about the function of/value in assigning blame in situations like this. The human brain's inability to tolerate "open loops" is so great that creating a version of the story in which there's someone to blame feels like a requirement. Then that created story feels more logical to more people over time than the truth of "we may never know." It's such a fascinating spiral! As always, loved your analysis and your commitment to -- in this case -- some hog-tied humor. ;) I wonder if someday you might analyze the 2015 case of Chelsea Martinez & Jason Nisbit? They met online and arranged to meet in person. She: suicidal. He: cannibal-curious. I'd LOVE your take on the plentiful converging psychological and legal issues this one created.

[@NickvonZ]

I agree with your brilliant point. There is a word for that, which escapes me. Starts with a Z, I think. Maybe the Zeigarnik Effect.

[@lulumoon6942]

Thought the same😮‍💨

[@nomadscavenger]

I don't think of it as an "open loop" as much as believing you know your child/loved one better than anyone else; that justice is so elusive for many more people in this world than not, so many unreported/undiscovered murders and disappearances (ask law enforcement, not to mention priests who won't answer but know, the ones you never hear about outnumber by far the ones you do). It's more about wanting them BACK (in any likely and devastated form).If murdered the perp might reveal where they are for a deal; justice for the deceased, and the need to survive it all w/o perishing from soul-destroying worry and mourning. Also, what's up w/switching at the critical moment in directions to Snap-Chat? Or wanting to die from exposure by stripping? And why break the back window? (Damage to rear end doesn't look as if the original cause of crash damage to the front would have caused that heavier damage in the rear bust, as if he was struck there 1st, or followed, he lost control, then someone smashed into the back, and harder? A bad drug "trip" doesn't seem likely when heading for home and family in his parents' vehicle (better safe to do it in his room at school or parents' house and better for the youngest, more sensitive and maybe a little more favored child, I'm speculating). Not looking for blame in others, so much as wanting their loved one BACK. (Parents profession/music and his looks/reported character speak to a guess he was caring, thoughtful of his siblings and them, wouldn't ever want to give pain/suffering even in a dazed, drug addled stupor and car accident. Likewise, when it comes to the onus of drugs/suicide, his parents, father in a professional side bar often would have to deal with it (unfaithful wife, depressed, abused, sad/lost reasons for suicide) in his congregation/community. (Obviously this son didn't feel too worried about being (smoke) detected at home...?); and both parents, in our times, would know how to deal with overdoses/murder. It's a fact ministers deal with these issues in the most personal way in both instances. And another fact: more people more murderers, and the chance of finding where the victims are so difficult. More about prayers answered, and HOPE than looking for a scapegoat, in my humble opinion (and experience)...and as S. King writes, "...hope is a good thing", no?😥🧖🌻

[@swannoir]

I recently starting diving into the Maura Murray case again, which I do on occasion, and decided to take a look at the Jason Landry case after I saw someone compare the two cases. Not that he was saying they were connected or anything like that, just that there were a lot of similarities - both college students, cars abandoned after accidents in unexpected places which could not really be explained, alcohol/substance may be involved, and both vanished quickly and have never been seen or heard from again - Maura 20 years in 2024. I think in both cases, a more immediate serious search effort could have been useful. Anyway, I was glad to see you did an analysis of Jason's case, Dr. Grande, (I know you did one on Maura too), this is the best analysis I've seen on it, imo. I think your theory is the most likely, that Jason was alone, in the midst of some sort of psychotic break or something, perhaps suffering from a paranoid episode, and there may be, unfortunately, little or nothing to find at this time. Also, good point about how people like to have someone else to blame. I don't know what happened though and will hold out hope for some answers in this case and, most of all, peace for his loving family.

[@rolandm9750]

Dr Grande's explanation is not really that far off initial LE's assessment. Basically he was under the influence, went the wrong way, crashed, and then wandered off to his death (both dazed by the accident and due to the drugs). Only thing is Dr. Grande isn't stupid like the police who just left the scene and didn't bother looking for him or collecting evidence. They got the scenario right, they just prioritised getting donuts or something, over doing any police work thereafter. The later theories of volunteer "investigators" and "the community" is just nonsense people made up to explain things without blaming the guy--exactly what Grande says here too. That "theory" is so far fetched it's not funny but people are just blinded by the need to "explain" the disappearance by some sinister plot or people, and is reinforced by the fact that his body was never found.

The repercussions of the pandemic continue to manifest themselves in many varied and distressing ways.

The focus on blaming anonymous "others" rather than the victim also seems to be a coping method that is a very common response. Heartbreaking all around.

Just a thought for Jason.....so sad....every life is valuable regardless of reckless choices. Most of us leave recklessness of youth behind and move on to be responsible older people and are not judged because most people have forgotten the dumb stuff...Jason did not have the chance. He could have gone on to become just a regular dad with a wife and kids ..... So sad that so little effort was put into finding him.

[@wholelottagangshid]

Hey Dr.Grande, could you cover the case of Blair Adams? It's quite interesting and very strange. He thought someone was going to kill him and he suffered paranoia due to his fear of being murdered, it came to ahead and he eventually fled his country only to be found murdered in Knoxville Tennessee 100s of miles from his home in Canada.

[@Catlily5]

He was probably safer in Canada.

[@figplucker3052]

It's not paranoia if someone REALLY is out to get you

[@nomadscavenger]

And there is the phenomena of precognition, clairvoyance isn't there? His "paranoia" was a feeling of his doom, just as Jackie O had for her son, so one can have it about themselves, just as easily. Obsessing about it leads observers to pass it off as delusional since in most cases it is. While, on the other hand, there's so many people in the world, a few will be right and have a real reason to be alarmed/obsessive and frightened. If only they would keep it to themselves, realize its going to happen one way or the other, and sooner or later! Preparedness is key, w/humor, stoicism if possible (and enough $ to pay for the incidentals), no? What the f"@#?

[@nomadscavenger]

@@Catlily5 yeh, in the woods, self sufficient, but still hiding - but w/o spiritual help/or help of any kind, it won't solve the never-ending fear problem. Studying history, ancient philosophies, lives of famous world figures, and their ultimate demise, may have helped; along with a daily pull on the whiskey bottle; other than that, Canada is really no better than a dumpy NYC apt.when diseased w/the fear bug. In the woods he would have to learn to recognize the dangers of living in the wilderness, buy a rifle, gun (bow/arrows) to survive. Which, overall, would be doing something to perhaps stall/thwart the inevitable. Running away w/o actively fighting destiny was weak, stupid and lazy to me.

Almost certain Dr Grande covered his case a few years back.

From what I’ve heard wild hogs really are your worst nightmare.

[@mst3kpimp]

i learned that from hannibal and old yeller.

[@texasstateofmind744]

They are absolutely no joke out here in East Texas. 800 pound boars are common. They are omnivores with pack mentality.

[@effy_kujo]

@@texasstateofmind744 but, they wouldn't start chasing random cars, right? And certainly Jason would have been safer inside his car, lol. I could believe that they probably got him after whatever lead him to drive off course, get out of his car & run on foot but, that's the ultimate mystery, isn't it? His car didn't seem like it was attacked by wild boars. I'm not discounting a carjacking gone wrong (if this is in fact a high crime area in a small town, idk). The best theory I've read in these comments is it could have been a bad trip but, not from regular weed, rather something like salvia. I've seen people act ridiculous after just a couple hits of that stuff. And the person said feeling overheated is a main side effect. Hence, him undressing as he was running from invisible bad people. If there are woods around there, he could have found some tight, out of sight place to squeeze into & hide & succumb to the elements if it was ~30 degrees like the doctor said. Is there a lot of forest in the area where his car was found? Did they do a foot search? Or is it that dangerous due to the hogs?

[@texasstateofmind744]

@@effy_kujo I agree, he would have been safe from hogs inside his car. Sure doesn’t sound rational to leave a car and take off your clothes. I’ve never heard of regular pot causing that kind of behavior. He’s at the age where mental illness can surface so maybe he was psychotic. The hogs can definitely eliminate a body so if he died from exposure or overdose the wildlife out there can would do the rest. Sad story especially for his friends & family

[@effy_kujo]

@@texasstateofmind744 it sucks that the police didn't deem him important enough to look for. They had a chance to possibly save a life & their actions after coming across this bazaar situation is really scary. Why they thought it wasn't a scene worth investigation, I'll never understand.

[@figplucker3052]

So much more damage to the rear of the vehicle? Odd considering that he crashed forward into trees

[@Rico_G]

One would think but it's not uncommon. Hit some trees at a good rate of speed on an unpaved surface and the car will spin causing damage to the rear. Look where the car was found, the largest tree in the picture was off the rear of the car in perfect position to knock off the rear bumper.

[@momof1576]

@@Rico_Git’s also not uncommon to be run off the road and have your windows busted out

[@rolandm9750]

Not odd. He didn't really crash "forward" into the trees as in a head-on collision. His front bumper is only damaged at the *side* , meaning he basically drove into something which started as a side-frontal impact--damage to the front fender, wheel, and rocker area. Upon impact he probably started steering the other way but the gravel and the fact that's probably partially off-road (low traction) meant the vehicle's rear end slid out and then hit more stuff. The rear damage is similar to the front. The bumper came off but not as a result of rear impact...the rear bumper is still on the car in the accident, it was removed later as a result of towing or at the tow yard. The rear was also a side impact that crumpled in the rear quarter and was enough to shatter the backlight. Note the rear of the car is actually resting against the tree it hit in the at-scene photo. There's also visible tree/brush branches inside on the rear deck which entered after the backlight shattered. It's all very consistent with that type of accident.

[@glow1815]

@@Rico_G yup. Got into an accident years ago. I was going 60-65 miles an hour a SUV cuts me off, my car spined so fast hit the barricade couple of times my car ended up next to a pond. Luckly it didn't end up in the pond( 15 ft deep) or I might not be here to talk about it.

[@nomadscavenger]

@@Rico_G ...as your slamming on the brakes? I've done this, but damage to the rear wasn't nearly so bad. Spinning also slows it down. Now fishtailing and accelerating to get back control, then front crashing would indicate he wasn't all that impaired, but fighting to "get control" and maybe from whom? So the large tree nearby was rammed going backwards? A fight inside the vehicle could have been a cause. It's not reasonable to me to be speeding fast enough to lose control on a deserted unfamiliar road, evidently lost, and slamming the front, only to have the back much worse damaged. Father's photos came days after the fact? The police were too quick, peculiarly so, not to seriously investigate immediately. The person could have been hurt, brain damaged, having a stroke and LOST, as they realized, and they left? That area may have a reputation. And it's likely some of their local politicians/business owners use pot, so no excuse there not to take it seriously. Is the-devil-may-care attitude because they were able to see he wasn't a local? If a sick twist hitchhiker recognized a young, sympathetic, "privileged" pot head, the name and address on registration/license would be a practical trophy for future reference if out for an accidental thrill that night, but maybe a planned one for the future, no? I'm hoping it wasn't anyone else that brought a sad end to this guy, but damage to the parents car/drugs like pot just don't seem a strong enough motive to do what he supposedly did alone.

Good analysis in my opinion. Great job.

[@SinkFla]

another great one-I’m impressed with how often I see a case from another perspective based on his analysis, many points that hadn’t yet entered my mind. Oftentimes I’m reminded that Dr. Grande is very likely the most reasonable voice I’ve come across social media﹠furthermore, theres usually a bit humor..for example, like his mention of New Jersey.

[@bonniegeppert3912]

I agree with you 100%. While his death is very sad with circumstances, while preventable, are an unfortunate reality, based on your rationale and Occam’s Razor I believe your theory to have merit.

[@ronaldaddison2146]

Now moving on to my analysis - this is just a theory, my opinion: Dr. Grande's videos are HIGH in quality, LOW in disappointment, HIGH in consistency of output, MID RANGE in dark humour, HIGH in openness to reviewing difficult topics, and are peppered with perfectly-placed passages of awesomely-articulate alliteration. If you enjoy these videos please like them, subscribe to his channel and consider supporting him on Patreon - he leaves the link TO Patreon in the descriptions for these videos.

That’s truly sad but lesson must be learned for any parents/guardians out their always keep building trust with your children regardless of their age they need to understand if they face any problems can or must be able to get in touch, he had his cellphone why didn’t he ring his parents or sibling/relatives at the very least for their help not blaming anyone just asking.

Hi Dr Grande ❤

[@Rockerlady]

Happy new year, Dr. Grande and viewers! Can you analyze one (or both) of these cases from Southern CA? Robin Ann Graham has been missing since 1970. Her car was found, but she was not. The other case is Michael Negrete. He disappeared from the UCLA campus in 1999. Thank you!

[@AxelordSMIJES]

Sounds like he may have had hypothermia. That would likely explain the trail of clothing strewn about the roads. It's said that when you get to the end stage of hypothermia, you actually start to feel warm, even hot almost. It's not uncommon for people to strip their clothes off in this situation in an effort to "cool off" and then dying that much quicker.

[@catserver8577]

Tainted substances, people. They're everywhere. It's no longer "just a little pot". Or just some "fun edibles". It can make you spiral out of control. If you don't know who processed it, where it came from, or what is in it, don't. It's basically a crap shoot with poison.

[@jamesnapier955]

Your very smart always great analysis 👍

[@jimcronin2043]

Unanswered question: why did he embark on a journey home at 10:30 pm planning to arrive at 1:00 am in the morning? That opens the possibility, along with the erroneous turn, that he was planning an excursion along the way. Perhaps there is something to this or maybe there is nothing to it. But it is a valid question. I also partly agree with the stated assertion that the police were less than diligent in the search because of their assumption that the car and belongings were from a drug user and of less worth. I do believe the situation was discounted by the police but not because of undervaluing the victim's life. I suspect that the area of the occurrence is a well-known area of drug transactions and other crimes and drug use and the police are accustomed to seeing a lot of unexplained, weird stuff in this remote area and thought that this was one of those times. They anticipated that the car's owner would show sooner or later to retrieve it. It's not a valid excuse, but a possible explanation.

[@Traderjoe]

They should analyze the pot in the medicine bottle or any pipe or remnants in the car for fentanyl

[@mwh3227]

He was using drugs, there is a video of him prior to leaving San Marcos. It was cold. He was going the wrong way. It was dark, and he was probably disoriented? He crashed and hit a tree. Probably hit his head? Wandered off. No body ever found? Great video! Sad story!

I feel so sorry for his parents. Although legally an adult young adults have so much new freedom and not much wisdom. Young people seem to have much more pressure than ever before.

[@coldbringer9545]

Kids today have no concept of freedom. We used to play outside (yep, outdoors), get into fights, drink from garden hoses, hitchhike to jobs we had before we could drive. Young people today wouldn't know how to do any of that. Pressure was part of prioritizing our responsibilities as we forged ahead. Kids today suffer stress as a collateral symptom of their parents fear-of-the-world paralysis.

Hi Dr Grande, long time watcher, first time commenter. Thanks for your expert analysis. I would love if you gave your opinion about Kevin Graves, a man who went missing at Electric Forest, a music festival in Michigan, in 2018. He seemingly has vanished from thin air in a crowd of 50,000+ people. Left everything behind and has been missing for ~5 years now. Lots of interesting theories have gone around regarding this case but I think you would probably have something interesting to say about it if you looked at it. Thanks again.

Similar enough to the Maura Murray case to merit comparison. You never know what's going on in a person's life, what they are running from, what they are consuming or what they are thinking. Furthermore, if you come from an area that's built up and heavily populated then it's hard to imagine how the elements and wildlife can consume, literally and metaphorically, a person swiftly.

[@nmartin5551]

Bryan Laspisas has similarities too

[@jamesparsons9068]

@@nmartin5551 Agreed, you never know how dangerous nature is or what can happen in an instance. I was cycling in a rural, but not too remote, Bavarian forest and got lost. I was literally going around in circles for a couple of hours, add in panic and it can get dangerous. A friend of mine got lost for nine hours in the New Forest in the UK whilst on his honeymoon. Local police found him eventually and told him it was not uncommon. Throw in temperature extremes and/'or snow and I can see many untrained people literally disappearing. And then animals will consume you, never to be found.

[@amberf8952]

Need to know the operating condition of the heater in his car and whether or not he was driving with windows down. Jason was severely underdressed for the cold temperatures. Hypothermia can cause confusion, loss of coordination, hallucinations, and paradoxical undressing. Alcohol and drug use can speed up the loss of body temperature. Jason could have crashed due to hypothermia if his heater wasn’t in use and wandered away, stripping off his clothes. Alternatively, he could have temporarily lost consciousness due to the crash and become hypothermic and then wandered off. There wasn’t a lot of time between the crash and the police discovery of the scene though.
