A missing person is a person who has disappeared and whose status as alive or dead cannot be confirmed as their location and condition are unknown. A person may go missing through a voluntary disappearance, or else due to an accident, crime, death in a location where they cannot be found (such as at sea), or many other reasons. In most parts of the world, a missing person will usually be found quickly. While criminal abductions are some of the most widely reported missing person cases, these account for only 2 to 5 percent of missing children in Europe. By contrast, some missing person cases remain unresolved for many years. Laws related to these cases are often complex since, in many jurisdictions, relatives and third parties may not deal with a person's assets until their death is considered proven by law and a formal death certificate issued. The situation, uncertainties, and lack of closure or a funeral resulting when a person goes missing may be extremely painful with long-lasting effects on family and friends. A number of organizations seek to connect, share best practices, and disseminate information and images of missing children to improve the effectiveness of missing children investigations, including the International Commission on Missing Persons, the International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children (ICMEC), as well as national organizations, including the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children in the US, Missing People in the UK, Child Focus in Belgium, and The Smile of the Child in Greece.

According to current statistics, 4,000 people in the United States go missing every day. Sometimes a child suddenly vanishes from the bus stop or the local park or even from their own yard or bedroom. Or a teenager doesn�t return home after a walk to the neighborhood grocery store or a bike ride or a party with friends. Other times, an adult is mysteriously absent from their job or neighbors haven�t seen them for several days, and family and friends haven�t heard from them either.

Markings and/or Distinguishing Characteristics Caucasian male. Brown hair, brown eyes. Landry had a goatee at the time of his disappearance. He wears both contact lenses and eyeglasses, but didn't have the glasses with him when he went missing. He has a scar on the right side of his neck, a scar on his left ankle and acne scars on his face.
Details 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 to Missouri City, Texas, where his family is from. He has never been heard from again.
After his disappearance, his vehicle, a silver 2003 Nissan Altima with the Texas license plate number BV1Y123, was found wrecked and abandoned in the 2300 block of Salt Flat Road just outside of Luling, Texas, about a thirty-minute drive from San Marcos. 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 in the underwear. 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.
Investigators believe the crash happened between 11:30 p.m. on December 13 and 12:30 a.m. on December 14, and that Landry was driving, sustained little to no injury and was able to walk away from the crash site. They believe whatever caused his disappearance, happened after the crash occurred. Dogs tracked Landry's scent for a quarter of a mile from the crash site, then lost the trail.
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.
Landry was a student at Texas State University in San Marcos at the time of his disappearance, and went missing shortly after finishing his autumn term final exams. His remains unsolved.
