The tragic death of 17-year-old athlete Gary “Landyn” Jacobs has taken another chilling twist as police revealed new evidence pointing to a mysterious vehicle near the crash site.
According to investigators, CCTV footage and traffic cameras captured a car passing down the same rural stretch of road just moments before Jacobs’ vehicle veered off at 4 a.m. Authorities now believe the driver of that vehicle may hold crucial information about what really happened that night.
“The timing is too precise to ignore,” one officer familiar with the case told reporters. “We are working urgently to locate this driver, who may have witnessed the crash — or been directly involved.”
The discovery comes after earlier reports of unusual skid marks and unexplained movement near the treeline, fueling speculation that Jacobs’ accident was not a simple case of fatigue or speeding.
The Jacobs family, still reeling from the loss of their son, has pleaded with the public for information. “If anyone saw that vehicle, or knows who was driving it, please come forward,” a family spokesperson said. “We just want the truth.”
Police have yet to confirm the make and model of the vehicle but have intensified their search, warning that the driver could become a central figure in the investigation.
What began as a heartbreaking accident is now unraveling into a deeper mystery — one that could change everything about the final moments of Gary “Landyn” Jacobs’ life.
