In autumn 2009 six-year-old Madyson Jamison vanished along with her parents, Bobby and Sherilynn Jamison, after they drove from their Eufaula home to inspect a remote 40-acre tract near Red Oak in the Sans Bois Mountains. Their pickup was later found locked and abandoned by hunters; wallets, IDs, cell phones and $32,000 in cash remained inside, and the family’s malnourished dog was alone in the vehicle. Surveillance from the Jamisons’ home the day they left reportedly showed the family moving toward the truck in a zombie-like trance, a detail that deepened the mystery and prompted an extensive search that initially turned up nothing.

In November 2013 deer hunters found skeletal remains of two adults and a child less than three miles from where the truck had been located. Forensic testing completed in July 2014 identified the remains as Madyson, Bobby and Sherilynn Jamison. The bodies were recovered lying side-by-side face down; decomposition was so advanced the medical examiner could not determine a cause of death, and a small hole in Bobby’s skull was ultimately attributed to decomposition rather than a confirmed wound. No arrests or official suspects have been announced.

What details about the Jamisons’ movements or the land they visited might help explain how they ended up there?
