26-year-old Brandon Lawson vanished one night in August 2013. Since his enigmatic disappearance in Coke County, Texas, along a desolate stretch of roadway, his family has been determined to find answers.
On August 8, 2013, about 11:55 pm, Brandon Lawson was last seen leaving his San Angelo, Texas, home. After arguing with his longtime girlfriend, Ladessa Lofton, he left.
During the evening of August 8, 2013, Brandon and He called his father to let him know he was coming over and asked for some time to calm down. Around 11:55 p.m., he drove off to his father's house in his pickup.
Brandon called his brother Kyle around 45 minutes later to report that he had run out of petrol on Highway 277 close to Bronte, Texas. Kyle and his girlfriend headed out to bring him a gas can after the call.
At 12:50 in the morning, Brandon called 911 and reported being stranded. “Yes, I’m in the middle of a field (inaudible) pushed some guys over, right here going toward Abilene, on both sides,” Lawson says, according to a transcript of the 911 call. “My truck ran out of gas, there’s one car here, the guy’s chasing (inaudible) to the woods, please hurry!”. When the 911 operator asked if he needed an ambulance Brandon replied no, he needed police to respond. “Three (expletives) are chasing me out of town,” said Lawson, going on to clarify he was talking about “the Mexicans in the neighbourhood.”
After receiving a 911 call reporting that Brandon's F-150 was hindering traffic on U.S. 277 by crossing the white line, a deputy arrived at Brandon's truck around 1:10 am. At the same time when Kyle and his girlfriend came, Brandon was not present.
About four miles south of Bronte, Texas, on US 227, the truck was discovered. The vehicle was undamaged, and the petrol tank was empty. His phone and keys were also gone.
Kyle received another call from Brandon while speaking with the responding officer, informing him that he was "ten minutes up the road" and that he was bleeding; after that, his phone went silent. During the call, his cell phone went in and out, making it challenging to understand him.
Kyle felt Brandon may have been hiding due to an outstanding warrant because he had at this point not heard about the 911 call Brandon had made, so he chose not to reveal it to the officer.
The deputy reportedly drove up and down the road to look for Brandon but was unable to find any indications of him. So that Brandon could get gas if he came back, Kyle and his girlfriend left the gas can in the truck's bed.
Since then, no one has seen or heard from Brandon.
Brandon Lawson went missing on August 13, 2013, the same day Texas Rangers began a helicopter search. He was no longer in the county, according to a finding made by neighborhood police the day before. In order to coordinate searches in the area where Lawson vanished and solicit clues, his family eventually set up the Facebook group "Help Find Brandon Lawson."
Nearly ten years after Lawson went missing, clothing that could only belong to Lawson was discovered on February 4, 2022. According to GoSanAngelo, a second search resulted in the finding of human remains close to Lawson's last known location.
The family hopes DNA evidence will prove the remains belong to Lawson, bringing the case to an end.
