101: MURDER: The Jamison Family

Derrick Levasseur
About this episode
On October 8, 2009, Bobby and Sherilyn Jamison, along with their six-year-old daughter Madyson, set out to look at land for sale in the Sans Bois Mountains of Oklahoma. Days later, their truck was found abandoned less than a mile from the property. Inside were their wallets, coats, a phone, $32,000 in cash, and their dog, who was barely alive.

Despite an extensive search, there was no sign of the family for years. Then, in November 2013, hunters discovered the partial skeletal remains of Bobby, Sherilyn, and Madyson just a few miles from where the truck had been found. 

It’s been nearly 12 years since then and investigators are still searching for answers…

44-year-old Bobby Jamison, his 40-year-old wife Sherilyn, and their six-year-old daughter Madyson disappeared on October 8, 2009. Their truck was found days later abandoned in the Sans Bois Mountains, with $32,000 in cash, personal belongings, and their dog Maizy inside.

Despite an extensive search and years of investigation, no trace of the family was found until November 2013, when hunters discovered three skulls and other remains about three miles from the truck’s location. The remains were later confirmed to be the Jamisons, but their cause and manner of death could not be determined.

If you have any information in this case, please call the Latimer County Sheriff's Office at (918) 465-2161.
