Brandon Lawson was 26 and a father of four when he vanished after leaving his home in San Angelo, Texas, on the night of August 8, 2013. After an argument with his longtime girlfriend Ladessa Lofton, he drove toward his father’s house in Crowley but ran out of gas on Highway 277 near Bronte around 12:30 a.m. on August 9. He called his brother Kyle saying he was being chased by unknown people and then made a frantic 911 call at 12:50 a.m., reporting he was stranded and that someone was chasing him into the woods.

When Kyle and a sheriff’s deputy reached Brandon’s truck about 1:10 a.m., the vehicle was parked haphazardly with an empty gas tank and no visible signs of struggle, yet Brandon was gone despite reportedly telling his brother he could see him. Multiple searches over the years failed to locate him. In 2022 human remains were discovered near where he was last seen and the family believes the remains are his; DNA results were reported as still pending. What can readers add about Brandon’s last known movements or the area along Highway 277 near Bronte?
