The investigation into the tragic accident involving 17-year-old Gary “Landyn” Jacobs has taken a dramatic turn. Authorities confirmed that a new piece of evidence has been uncovered at the crash site — a mobile phone that could hold crucial answers about what happened in the final moments before the incident.
Police officers at the scene revealed that while conducting a routine sweep of the area, they noticed an object partially hidden near the damaged vehicle. Upon closer inspection, they discovered it was a phone belonging to Landyn. When investigators carefully turned it over, they realized it had survived the crash and may still contain retrievable data.
Detectives are now examining the device for potential clues — including messages, call logs, and location tracking — to piece together the timeline leading up to the accident. Sources say this discovery could shed light on whether distraction, outside contact, or other factors played a role in the tragedy.
For the family, who have been desperate for answers, this new development offers a glimmer of hope. Loved ones of Landyn have expressed that while nothing can undo the heartbreaking loss, understanding the truth behind the accident is an essential step toward closure.
As one investigator put it: “Sometimes the smallest detail can change the entire direction of a case. This phone might hold the missing piece we’ve been searching for.”
The investigation remains ongoing, with police urging the public to be patient as forensic experts work to recover information from the damaged device.
