killed and their bodies buried in a shallow grave on their property in April 2004.
Warrrants charging their son, Jason M. Howard, with the murders were issued. Jason Howard fled the area

sometimes wears it long. He also wears a beard at times and uses prescription eyeglasses.

socialize and may tend to be uncomfortable in any type social setting.
He is known to be schizophrenic and may display violent tendencies. In the past, he was known to live among
homeless facilities or on the street.
If anyone has any information to assist in locating Jason Howard, please contact the Liberty County Sheriff's Office or
