MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF: The Jamison Family
This episode explores the mysterious disappearance and deaths of the Jamison family—Bobby, Sherilyn, and their six-year-old daughter Madison—who vanished on October 8, 2009, while looking at land to purchase on Panola Mountain in Oklahoma. Their truck was found abandoned on October 17th with their malnourished dog inside, along with $32,000 in cash, their phones, IDs, and a disturbing seven-page letter from Sherilyn detailing abuse and fear for Bobby's soul. Despite massive searches, no trace of the family was found initially, leaving investigators puzzled about what happened after they took a photo of Madison at 2:51 PM and returned to their truck.
The case becomes increasingly complex as investigators delve into the Jamisons' troubled past. Both Bobby and Sherilyn struggled with prescription painkiller addiction, financial difficulties, and were involved in multiple lawsuits, including Bobby suing his own father and obtaining a protective order against him. Sherilyn had recently gone off her psychiatric medications, attempted suicide, and lost custody of her older son. In the months before their disappearance, the family reported their house was haunted by spirits, reached out to a pastor for help with demons, and had begun spray-painting strange messages about witches on their property. The episode presents a case filled with contradictions—domestic abuse allegations, supernatural beliefs, family conflict, and financial stress—all of which muddy the waters around what actually happened to this family seeking a fresh start by living off-grid in a shipping container.
