Murder, Meth, or an Innocent Mishap: What Happened to Brandon Lawson?
Brandon Lawson had a lot to live for. He had been dedicated to his fiancee, Ladessa Lofton, for 10 years and the couple had three children. Brandon also had a child from a previous relationship. By all accounts, Brandon was a loving and attentive father. But he had struggled with substance abuse issues in the past and had recently relapsed shortly before his disappearance in 2013.
More than six years later, Brandon’s family and those familiar with the case still wonder whether his drug issues played a role in his disappearance and, if so, what role?
Into the Darkness
The evening of August 9, 2013, wasn’t a very good one for Brandon Lawson. The 26-year-old San Angelo, Texas, resident was an oil field worker who sometimes spent 13 hours on the job at a time. According to Ladessa, Brandon sometimes worked 95 hours a week. The long hours precipitated a job change, and Brandon was to start his new job soon. [1]
