Remains Presumed to be Brandon Lawson Found

Updated May 16, 2022; Posted February 5, 2022


Brandon Lawson Missing from Texas 2013

Nearly ten years after he disappeared, the remains of 26 year old Brandon Lawson may have been found.

On August 8, 2013, Brandon Lawson disappeared after leaving his San Angelo, Texas home at approximately 11:55 pm. His last known location was along US Highway 277, north of San Angelo, Texas.

The Help Find Brandon Lawson facebook page, which is ran by his family, posted a message on February 4 stating that remains presumed to belong to Brandon had been found.

Recently, one of those advocates led a small search party in the vicinity of Brandon’s last known location. The search team came upon some clothing that were consistent with Brandon’s clothing. Authorities in local law enforcement were contacted and were able to take the evidence in for testing. The Texas Rangers conducted a search that ultimately led them to discover human remains in this same area. Although DNA tests are needed to confirm identification, it in our hearts that we know that it is Brandon.

Our main focus throughout this entire ordeal has been to bring Brandon home so that he can finally rest in peace and our family can have the answers we have prayed for. I know that many of you will have questions, but at this time we do not have those answers. We will keep everyone notified of all new developments. I ask that you please, respect our family’s privacy at this time while we wait for results.

The Disappearance of Brandon Lawson

Brandon Lawson Missing

26 year old Brandon Lawson was last seen leaving his San Angelo, Texas home on August 8, 2013 at approximately 11:55 pm. He left after getting into an argument with his girlfriend, with the intention of going to his father’s home.

On the night of August 8, 2013, Brandon got into an argument with his longtime girlfriend, Ladessa Lofton. Looking for some time to cool off, he called his father and told him he was coming over. He left in his truck to head off to his father’s house at approximately 11:55 pm.

About 45 minutes later Brandon called his brother, Kyle, stating that he had run out of gas on Highway 277 near Bronte, Texas. After the call Kyle and his girlfriend headed out to bring him a gas can.

Brandon then made a call to 911 at 12:50 am, stating he was 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.

A Deputy arrived at Brandon’s truck around 1:10 am, after a 911 call reported Brandon’s F-150 obstructing traffic on U.S. 277 by being over the white line. Kyle and his girlfriend arrived at the same time, but there was no sign of Brandon.

The truck was located on U.S. 227, approximately four miles south of Bronte, Texas. The gas tank was empty, and there was no damage to the vehicle. His keys and cell phone were also missing.

While talking with the responding deputy, Kyle received another call from Brandon, telling him he was “ten minutes up the road,” and that he was bleeding; after that his phone went dead. His cell phone was going in an out during the call, making it hard to understand him.

Kyle, not aware of the 911 call Brandon had made at this point, assumed he may have been hiding due to an outstanding warrant he had, so didn’t mention it to the deputy.

According to reports the Deputy then drove up and down the road to see if he could spot Brandon, but found no signs of him. Kyle and his girlfriend left the gas can in the bed of the truck, so if Brandon came back he would be able to get gas.

Brandon hasn’t been seen or heard from since. His case remains unsolved.

    Brandon Lawson. Sometimes when I read or watch these disappeared stories I really think the 911 operator’s and police are idiots. Obviously no one searched the area or body would have been found before now. Just saying. Suspicious all way around to me.

      I read on a post from someone local saying the local authorities had it held up for years and there wasnt cooperation from all land owners. All cases anymore where they say “thorough searches over and over”…..dont believe it lol. So many times the body is missed and found years later.

      They searched all of the land that could be searched for years. I heard that some of the land owners wouldn’t allow the search parties on their property. I moved from San Angelo in 2014 but still tried to follow this case. It was devastating. Still is. I pray the family gets the closure they need.

    I’m sure family is devastated. I still find it hard to believe they could not have found him sooner.
