Nacogdoches County, TX — Texas Parks and Wildlife, Texas DPS, and the Nacogdoches County Sheriff’s Office are searching for 44-year-old Jason Patrick Hogard.
Hogard told family he was going kayaking yesterday afternoon and was updating a relative along the Angelina River. His last message was that he had come across another creek and was going the wrong way. A location ping yesterday afternoon possibly placed him near CR 2604, the Angelina River, Gibbons Creek, and Bingham Creek. Officials believe his phone battery died.
Hogard is a white male, 6 feet 3 inches tall, with brown hair and blue eyes. He was last seen wearing blue jeans, a white shirt, and work boots. His kayak is gray.
DPS has assigned air resources to the search. Anyone in the area is asked to watch for him.
