The mystery surrounding the disappearance of Brandon Lawson gets more perplexing as time passes. His elusive phone call to 911 provides multiple interpretations that lead investigative minds in all different directions. Even with a world full of internet sleuths and couch detectives working on the case, Brandon remains out there, lost in the expansive world of missing persons.

Following an argument with his girlfriend and mother of his children, Ladessa, Brandon Lawson left San Angelo, Texas on August 8, 2013, and started making his way to his father’s house. Less than an hour later, he called his brother, Kyle, to tell him he had run out of gas and was stranded on the side of the road. Lawson ended the call with his brother and dialed 911 for help.

This is where the mystery deepens.
