A crisp autumn day in Oklahoma turns tragic when the Jamison family vanish without explanation, leaving behind $32,000 and their starving dog locked in their truck. What forces could lead a family of three to disappear in the remote Sandboi Mountains, only to be discovered as skeletal remains four years later?
The case of Bobby, Sherilyn, and six-year-old Madyson Jamison defies conventional explanation. Surveillance footage from the day they vanished captures the couple moving in trance-like states, walking back and forth to their vehicle without speaking, sometimes carrying nothing at all, sometimes the same items repeatedly. This haunting behavior, described by experts as appearing drug-induced, is just the first layer of strangeness surrounding their disappearance.
Delving deeper reveals a family struggling with chronic pain, mental illness, and increasingly bizarre beliefs. Their storage container home featured spray-painted warnings about witches and judgment. Sherilyn claimed to practice witchcraft, while Bobby sought special bullets to shoot the evil spirits he believed haunted their home. A Satanic Bible found in their possession and reports of seances add to the unsettling picture of their final days.
Most compelling are the conflicting clues – a vehicle left with thousands in cash yet missing a brown briefcase seen being loaded on camera; a family dog left locked inside a truck, slowly starving; and an 11-page letter expressing Sherilyn's hatred for her husband. Why would someone murder a family but leave behind $32,000? Was Sherilyn truly on a white supremacist cult's "hit list" as her mother believes?
The medical examiner could only declare their deaths "suspicious," leaving us to wonder what truly happened that October day. Was it murder, suicide, cult activity, or something else entirely? Join us as we examine every bizarre detail of this haunting Oklahoma mystery that continues to baffle investigators and true crime enthusiasts alike.

Speaker 1 (00:11):
A family of three head out into a rural area near
Red Oak, oklahoma, to look atsome land they were considering
to purchase.
It's a cool, crisp fall day andthe leaves are in full
(00:34):
transition to the orange, redand yellow hues that represent
autumn.
It's a very desolate area withvery little human interaction.
Upon arrival, bobby Jameson,his wife Sherilyn and their
six-year-old daughter, Madison,exit the family's white pickup
truck From there.
The events that follow remainunclear.
(00:55):
However, the tragic end tothree lives forever lost and the
mystery that has surroundedthis family's bizarre
disappearance for more than adecade raise more questions than
answers.
And just when you think thingscan't get any stranger, it does.
(01:17):
This is the case into thedisappearance of the Jameson
family.
And this is Gone in a Blink.
Hey, true crime fans, I'm yourhost, heather, and I'm Danielle.
(01:39):
Welcome to episode 38 of Gonein a Blink.
We are almost 40 episodes intoGone in a Blink.
We are almost 40 episodes intoGone in a Blink, and with that I
want to say thank you to all ofour dedicated listeners and for
spreading the word about ourshow to others.
When we started this podcastback in late 2023, I'll be quite
(02:01):
honest we weren't really surewhat we were doing or how to go
about doing it.
We knew that we wanted to dosomething relating to missing
persons and true crime and, moreimportantly, we wanted to help
people get their stories outthere.
All too often when people gomissing, the cases that are not
covered by mainstream media getoverlooked.
(02:23):
Some cases never receive anykind of attention whatsoever.
We are trying to help bringthose cases to light.
While we do mix up our casesand try to throw a variety of
them into our show, it'simportant that we continue to
help be the voice for the manypeople whose stories have been
(02:43):
left untold.
So today's case is one out ofEufaula, oklahoma.
Today we are talking about thestrange and mysterious death of
the Jameson family, so if you'reready, let's jump right in.
Bobby Jameson met Sherilyn in2002, and he pretty much knew
right away that he wanted tospend the rest of his life with
(03:06):
Sherilyn.
A short while later, sherilynlearned that she was pregnant
and by August 2003, she gavebirth to the couple's baby girl,
who they named Madison StormyStarr.
A year later, bobby andSherilyn got married and the
family decided to call Eufaulatheir home, and for geographical
(03:27):
purposes, eufaula isapproximately 123 miles, or 198
kilometers east of Oklahoma City, oklahoma, and it's a pretty
small town with a population offewer than 3,000 people of fewer
than 3,000 people.
Not long after the couplesettled into their home with
Madison, bobby was involved in aterrible car accident that left
(03:50):
him with chronic back pain andthe inability to walk or stand
for extended periods of time.
Because of this, he was unableto find a job.
Sherilyn was battling mentalhealth issues, including severe
bipolar disorder.
This kept her from being ableto hold down a regular job.
Her mental health became evenworse in 2007 when her little
(04:12):
sister, maria, was stung on thetongue by a bee and, as a result
, maria went into anaphylacticshock and soon died.
Due to the couple's instabilityand health issues, they were
forced to rely on the aid ofpublic assistance.
Sherilyn also had a son from aprevious relationship named
Colton.
(04:33):
Colton lived with his mom andBobby until he turned 12 years
old.
Then, in July of 2009, hedecided that he wanted to live
with his bio dad, so he packedup and moved to Oklahoma City.
That he wanted to live with hisbio dad, so he packed up and
moved to Oklahoma City.
This move destroyed Sherilyn,even though Colton wasn't really
that far away and she was stillable to talk with her son on a
frequent basis.
(04:54):
She had a really really hardtime dealing with him being away
, and this caused her mentalhealth to further suffer.
It was around this time alsothat the Jamisons made the
decision to pull six-year-oldMadison out of public school and
instead homeschool her Around.
This time, the family had beenlooking to purchase a 40-acre
(05:15):
plot of land approximately 30miles or 48 kilometers from
Eufaula, near Red Oak.
This is a very isolated area,which actually worked for them,
because they didn't really likesocializing with a lot of other
people anyway and kind of justwanted to be off the grid.
But they weren't planning tobuild a house or anything on
(05:36):
this 40 acre plot.
Instead, they were going tolive in a storage container that
they already owned on theirproperty in Eufaula and, to be
quite honest, I thought this wasrather bizarre, considering
there is not a lot of room in astorage container for one person
, let alone a family of three,and I will post a pic of the
(05:58):
actual storage container on ourFacebook page.
But it is basically a long,narrow container, almost like a
shipping container, really.
I think that's what ittechnically is.
They were going to live in it.
So on October 8th 2009, thefamily hopped into their white
pickup and traveledapproximately 30 miles out to
(06:21):
Red Oak.
It was reported that they wereplanning to meet up with the
individual that was going tosell them the plot of land.
However, that has neveractually been confirmed.
So in the truck with them wastheir dog, maisie.
They reached the area where theplot of land was located, which
was deep in the SandboyMountains, and a man living in
(06:42):
the mountains actually confirmedthat he did in fact see the
family out there.
However, this would be the lasttime that anyone would see the
family alive.
On October 16th 2009, a localhunter stumbled upon the
Jameson's pickup truck.
Police were called and insidethe truck they discovered
Bobby's wallet, sherilyn's purse, some cell phones, an envelope
(07:07):
containing $32,000, and, moreimportantly, the family's dog,
maisie.
Maisie was malnourished andbarely alive, having survived by
eating her own feces.
The following day, hundreds ofvolunteers, along with police,
began searching the mountainsfor the missing family.
That search grew bigger andmore widespread, however, as the
(07:29):
days passed, with still no signof the Jamisons.
So they basically went out hereto meet the person that was
going to sell them the land andthen just completely disappeared
the whole family.
So when police arrived at theJamison's home, they noticed the
big storage container in thefront yard.
It's huge, you can't even missit and the container had several
(07:54):
phrases spray painted on theoutside.
One of the phrases stated,quote only God can judge.
Gossip is a sin, unquote.
Another phrase read quote threecats killed to date by people
in the area.
Witches don't like it whentheir black cats are killed,
(08:16):
unquote.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
So you're saying that these quotes were not on the
storage container before theywent missing?
This was only discovered afterthey went missing.
No, these quotes were on thestorage container before they
went missing.
This was only discovered afterthey went missing.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
No, these quotes were on the container before they
went missing.
But when the police went to thehouse after they went missing
is when they discovered it.
But no, the family actuallywrote this on the container.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
So the family wrote this on the container.
That almost seems like a littlebit of a twist there.
I was under the impression thatit was going in the direction
that they had found this andthis could maybe lead to some
clues.
But you're saying the familywrote this.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Yes, and this will be explained, as odd as it sounds,
a little later in the story,although it will still sound
batshit crazy.
There's a lot of things thatkeep occurring and a lot more
comes out as the story unfoldsto make this even more bizarre
than it started with.
On November 16th 2013, so fouryears after the Jamesons
(09:19):
disappeared, some hunters wereout in the area when they
stumbled on the skeletal remainsof what appeared to be two
adults and one child.
The remains were found justthree miles or 4.8 kilometers
away from where the Jameson'struck was found.
Further search of the areauncovered shoes, pieces of
(09:41):
clothing, adult teeth, part ofan adult arm and leg bone
fragments, and that part had mekind of stumped in a way,
because they searched that areabefore.
They searched that area as soonas they were notified that the
Jameson family were missing.
(10:03):
So I'm not quite sure how, fouryears later, they come upon all
of this Now.
Authorities are saying that theymight have missed it because
there were fallen leaves thatcould have covered up the
remains.
And while I understand that, ifthe bodies were so decomposed
(10:23):
and you hit that point,understand that if the bodies
were so decomposed and you hitthat point, because four years
later you're going to hit thatpoint where they are very well
decomposed by then.
But when they did the initialsearch they would not have been
that decomposed, so they wouldactually still pretty much being
intact for the most part, Iwould think.
But I don't know.
(10:44):
Leaves aren't to me.
Leaves are not going to coverup an entire body.
They will cover up possiblybone fragments and things like
that.
I mean, what do you think aboutthat?
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Yeah, that sounds pretty odd.
I would have thought exactlyhow you feel that when they
first looked at that they wouldhave been able to find something
, and leaves aren't going tocover it solely.
I guess where my mind was goingas well if they discovered all
this four years later but theydidn't discover it with their
initial search.
Could there be a fourth personinvolved?
Speaker 1 (11:15):
There could very well be a fourth person involved,
and that's what's so strange.
There's a lot of theories thatwe'll go over in a bit about who
that fourth person may or maynot have been.
So on July 3rd 2014, afterusing anthropological and
forensic pathological testing,oklahoma State Medical Examiner
(11:38):
Dr Joshua Lanter confirmed thatthe remains were that of Bobby
Jamison, his wife Sherilyn andsix-year-old Madison.
He stated in his report thatthe cause and manner of death
were unknown due to the amountof decomposition and the fact
that the skeletal remains wereincomplete.
He stated that there was noevidence of trauma, although he
(12:01):
could not completely rule thatout due to the incomplete
remains.
His final report stated thatthe deaths occurred under
suspicious circumstances.
So one of the most talked aboutand extremely creepy aspects of
this case is the footage fromthe family's surveillance camera
from the day they disappeared.
(12:21):
This was time stamped on theday they left their house.
In the footage, the coupleappeared to be almost in a
trance-like state, as if theywere sleepwalking kind of, and
they made several trips betweentheir truck and their house.
It was described that at timesthey were making several trips
back and forth carrying the samething.
(12:44):
Other times they would go backand forth carrying nothing at
all, and often they would bothjust stop at the same time in
between these trips and juststare into space for what
appeared to be no reason, andthen they would start walking
again.
They never appear to be talkingto each other and authorities
(13:04):
actually turned the video overto a behavioral expert who
immediately believed that itappeared the couple were under
the influence of some sort ofdrug, and you can actually find
the footage of this online, andI did.
However, the video pauses ateach frame, so it's just a video
that goes frame by frame byframe, so you're not really
(13:28):
seeing the full effect of whatinvestigators described.
So I'm thinking that the actualfootage is more continuous,
because what you're going tofind online or what I found
maybe someone else will findsomething else that is more in
tune with what investigatorsdescribe, but what I found?
You cannot tell that they'restopping to stare off into space
(13:50):
and you cannot tell really thatthey're walking in a
trance-like state, because itjust is playing frame by frame,
if that makes sense.
The video also shows Sherilynplace a brown briefcase into the
vehicle.
Former Latimer County SheriffIsrael Buchamp believes that
this briefcase could hold amajor clue in this case, however
(14:12):
, strangely enough it was not inthe truck with everything else
that had been recovered and infact to this day it still has
never been recovered.
Officers observed the fact thatthe Jameson's truck showed no
evidence of any kind of struggle.
Latimer County Sheriff Buchamplater stated, quote I think they
were forced to stop and got outof the truck to meet with
(14:35):
someone they recognize and Ithink they either left of their
own free will or by force,unquote.
One other important item missingfrom the truck besides the
brown briefcase was a .22caliber handgun registered to
Sherilyn.
This also has never beenrecovered, has never been
(14:58):
recovered.
So I thought that was kind ofstrange too, that the video
shows her putting a brownbriefcase into the truck.
Yet that was not found, nor wasthe gun.
So whatever happened to themmust have involved someone
getting into the vehicle andtaking the briefcase, or they
went and dropped it offsomewhere.
I don't know.
That's a huge mystery.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Yeah, that seems kind of odd.
I think also the brownbriefcase would be for important
things, obviously, but yet the$32,000 wasn't in there, it was
still in the truck.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Yeah, that's strange too.
So that makes me think they mayhave dropped off the briefcase
somewhere or to someone so muchlike any case like this.
There are many theories intowhat might have happened to the
Jameson family, and with eachtheory the case just keeps
getting stranger and stranger.
So the first theory we'll diveinto is the thought that maybe
(15:49):
the family got lost in the woodsand died of hypothermia.
I feel like this theory couldbe shot down pretty quickly,
though, simply for the fact thatit was reported that
temperatures for that areaduring that time only got down
into the 40s for a low, so itwasn't like crazy cold.
And then there is still thefact that the bodies were found
(16:10):
just a mere 2.7 miles or 4.35kilometers from the truck.
I mean, I guess they could havegotten lost and not realized
they were that close to thetruck.
That's possible, but I reallydon't think that is one of the
more likely scenarios.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
No, it's not sounding like it.
I kind of feel like, if theyintentionally went into the
woods as well, that they wouldhave brought their dog with them
too.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
I would have also thought that they would have
brought the dog, and that makesme lean more to the fact that
maybe, or the thought that maybethey were forced to get out of
the truck, or they had onlyplanned on getting out of the
truck for just a minute or two,because the child is with them
but the dog is not, so I don'tknow Sounds.
(16:58):
I mean, if someone was forcingthem to get out of the truck, I
don't feel like they would havebeen like take the dog too.
The next theory is that it wasa murder-suicide, and this was
actually.
This was actually my firstthought about this case.
During the investigation,police found an 11-page letter
(17:18):
inside the truck that appearedto be a hate letter written by
Sherilyn to her husband Bobby.
In the letter she talks abouthow she hates being married to
him, that he acts like a hermitand that she was considering
divorce.
I'm not so sure anymore thatthis was in fact a
murder-suicide I did it firstbut there's no mention of a gun
(17:41):
that was ever found near thebodies, and that's a big deal.
And Sherilyn's handgun is stillmissing.
So I mean, common sense kind oftells you, unless somebody came
along and found the gun andtook it.
That's a possibility, though, Iguess.
So I don't know.
I don't know that I feel thatone happened either.
(18:01):
I mean, what do you think aboutthat?
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Yeah, that's a tough one.
I mean it is a possibility, butyeah, I really feel like that
they would have recovered thegun in the midst of the search.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Another theory into the Jamesons' disappearance is
that Bobby's father, bob DeanJameson, had something to do
with the family's deaths.
Right before the familydisappeared, bobby was involved
in a lawsuit with his father,claiming that Bob had made
threats towards Bobby and thathe had struck him with his car
(18:35):
in November 2008.
Bobby also made claims againsthis father that he was involved
in meth, prostitutes, gangs andother criminal activity.
Bobby had also filed aprotective order against his dad
, stating that Bob was a verydangerous man and that the
family was afraid for theirlives.
This protective order waseventually dismissed on May 18,
(18:58):
2009, less than three monthsbefore the Jamisons went missing
.
Bobby and his father, bob,shared a pretty estranged
relationship, to say the least,and this carried on until the
time that the Jamison familydisappeared.
Bob Dean had owned a gasstation, apparently at one time,
where he and Bobby workedtogether and half of the gas
(19:20):
station's earnings were to go toBobby.
However, bobby stated that Bobnever paid him for his work.
I'm not even sure how peoplestill consider this a theory,
though, because it had beenreported that Bob Jameson died
approximately two months beforethe Jamesons disappeared.
So, unless he had orchestratedsome sort of plan before that to
(19:43):
have the family killed.
I don't think this theory has aleg to stand on, and he was
never considered a suspect inthis case.
Anyway, that could be becausehe was already dead.
Then there's the theory that theJamesons were murdered by a
cult.
So Sherilyn's mother, connie,firmly believes that the family
(20:05):
were murdered by a religiouscult, and Connie stated in an
article in BuzzFeed that herdaughter, sherilyn, was on a hit
list that belonged to aspecific cult.
According to an episode of theinvestigative discovery show
called Disappeared, sherilyn'sbest friend, nikki Chennauld,
stated that she had received aphone call from an anonymous
(20:27):
woman who claimed to have oncebeen part of a white supremacy
group.
She claimed that the group kepta book that contained a hit
list of names of individuals whohad created problems for the
group.
Sherilyn's name was on thatlist, along with many other
people who had gone missing, andcults were known to have been
(20:48):
an active thing, especially inthe area where the Jamisons
disappeared.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
I wonder could the Jamison family have been a part
of this cult?
Just from what you've said sofar about finding the shipping
container and the verbiage onthere, I think that's a strong
possibility and you know I meanit's anyone's guess.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
But there were also reports that they had dabbled
into things such as witchcraftand Sherilyn had professed to
neighbors that she was in fact awitch.
I'm sure not all people thatprofess themselves as being
witches are part of a cult, butit's a possibility that they
(21:31):
were dabbling in things likethat and this would explain the
graffiti she spray painted onthe outside of the storage
container about witches notliking when their black cats go
missing.
According to Sherilyn's friend,nikki, sherilyn believed that
her neighbors were trying topoison her cats.
Sherilyn spray painted themessage on the container in her
(21:52):
yard as a way to scare theneighbors into thinking that she
was a witch.
After that the neighbors prettymuch stayed away from the
Jamesons.
So keep in mind too, sherilynwas dealing with mental health
issues pretty bad that just keptgetting worse and worse.
So I'm sure that kind of playedinto a lot of stuff.
(22:12):
Whether or not her neighborswere actually poisoning her cats
I don't know, but the neighborsdecided just to stay away from
the family.
So also, a satanic bible wasfound in the Jamesons' home and
there were reports that Sherilynwould take part in such things
as seances and things like that.
Now Nikki says I think Nikkiwas taking part in those too.
(22:35):
But Nikki says it was just allfun and games, that they didn't
believe in that stuff, they werejust playing around and that
could be a possibility.
A lot of people do things likethat just for fun, not really
putting much stock into it.
I don't know that this familywas one of those people that
just kind of did it as fun andgames.
(22:56):
I don't know.
But according to Sheriff Buchamp, the family definitely had an
obsession with the dead and atone point the family believed
that their house was hauntedwith evil spirits.
Bobby went to their churchpastor Gary Brandon and asked
him about special bullets thatcould be used to shoot evil
(23:17):
spirits.
The evil spirits weresupposedly that of two children
that lived there prior, namedEmily and Michael, who had
befriended their daughterMadison.
Madison would haveconversations with the spirits.
According to Nikki, when Bobbycouldn't get any help from
Pastor Gary, bobby obtained theSatanic Bible in an effort to
(23:40):
perform an exorcism on thespirits himself.
Nikki believes that there wereactually evil spirits in the
Jamesons' home and that Sherilynonce told her that Bobby had a
few episodes where his eyessuddenly went black and he
(24:04):
lunged at her in a threateningmanner.
So make of this what you will.
There was also an incident worthmentioning regarding a man by
the name of Kenneth Bellows.
An incident worth mentioningregarding a man by the name of
Kenneth Bellows.
Apparently, bellows was anacquaintance of the couple who
had recently moved into theJameson house to help the family
with some handiwork around thehouse.
(24:25):
Now I that is the first bigno-no, in my opinion.
In true crime, never let astrange man move into your home,
especially when you havechildren, or at all, but
especially when you havechildren, in this case, a
six-year-old child.
It's something that, more timesthan not, will not end well.
(24:47):
So it turned out that this manwas part of a white supremacy
group, whatever, and he foundout that Sherilyn's ancestors
were Native American.
Sherilyn was very proud of that, as she should be, but it was
reported that after engagingwith Sherilyn one day about her
ancestors, bellows gets fired upand tells her that it would be
(25:10):
better if she were dead, becausehe stated that those who are
not white don't deserve to live.
Those were his words, so it'spretty sick stuff.
So apparently he had grabbedher before saying this and
refused to let go.
And she eventually manages tobreak free and she grabs Madison
(25:34):
and runs to the bedroom and ashort while later she comes back
with her .22 caliber pistol andfires shots into the ground
near where Bellows is standingand tells him to get out of the
house.
So it goes without saying thatthis family has been involved
with some pretty strange things.
Sherilyn's mental health wastaking a toll and, according to
(25:56):
her mother, her behavior in themonths leading up to the
family's death just kept gettingmore strange.
There was even an incidentwhere she was riding with her
daughter to Oklahoma City whenSherilyn just pulled over and
demanded that her mother get outof the car.
When Sherilyn just pulled overand demanded that her mother get
out of the car, I'm unsure ofwhat led up to that moment, but
Sherilyn's mental health wasdefinitely struggling.
(26:18):
So obviously there are severaltheories into this case.
No one knows exactly whathappened, but there are many
theories.
Some are a little morefar-fetched than others, but
what is your take on all thetheories that we've discussed so
far and what may or may not bemore likely to have happened?
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Well, definitely that there's a lot of good theories.
What you've mentioned about thecult activity, I think could be
very likely that they weredabbling in cult and with
Sherilyn's mental health Iwonder if that started to cause
trouble for the colt.
And just you know, you had saidshe had bipolar, so you never
(26:59):
know, like how her behavior isgoing to be if she's going to
lash out at somebody, and so Iwas thinking of that theory as
you were talking.
But also when you mentioned theguy that came and moved into
the home, I kind of feel likethere's our fourth person, that
it very likely could be him.
But I guess what's a mystery forme in all of this is one the
(27:21):
dog, the poor little guy, was inthe car, as if they thought
they were going to be comingback to the car.
Because I feel like if theythought, okay, this is our spot,
or we're going to be out backto the car, because I feel like
if they thought, okay, this isour spot, or we're going to be
out for a little while, thatthey would have had the dog come
with them and then also the$32,000.
If it was any kind of likerobbery or someone that knew
(27:44):
that they had it.
I feel like that would havebeen gone.
We know it wasn't in thebriefcase, but I guess that
maybe they hid it someplacereally well in the car.
If it was a robbery, they wouldhave looked for that.
But this fourth person ifthat's the theory, then maybe
not.
Maybe their goal was to killthe family.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Well, and the car was found locked and I think that
is extremely strange, because ifthey were forced out of the car
, why would they lock it?
But at the same time, if theywere getting out of the car to
meet with someone, why wouldthey leave the dog in there and
(28:27):
lock it unless they were meetingwith someone?
And it was only for a momentand they knew they had that
money in there.
I could see them locking itbecause of the money.
If they were only going to be ashort while, so maybe, but then
they had the keys on them.
So if someone, if someone shotthem or killed them, why
(28:51):
wouldn't they get the keys?
You would think that they wouldwant to get into the car and
see what they could take out ofthe vehicle.
They wouldn't just leave, Iwould figure.
I mean, it's all really strangeLocking the car, leaving the
dog in the car, $32,000 in thecar, but the briefcase and what
(29:11):
was in the briefcase?
That's my big thing.
You would think the $32,000would have been in the briefcase
, right.
But then, like I mentioned, whoreally walks around with money
in a briefcase?
That's kind of movie like.
But I don't know.
Nothing makes sense in thisentire case.
There's no logic.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
It almost reminds me of kind of like a Facebook
market transaction, to whereyou're meeting someone to
exchange and it sounds like thewhole family got out except for
the dog.
They locked the car, talkingwith the person first and then
was going to go back in toexchange the $32,000.
(29:51):
And so maybe a ploy to get themout there.
I mean, there's so manypossibilities of who that kind
of the fourth person could be orof what happened.
I just kind of thought, okay,with the Colt situation, to kind
of lure them out there in asecluded area.
They thought they were gettingsomething and brought the
(30:12):
$32,000, but really it wasbecause they wanted to kill them
, like I was saying.
Like, unless the goal is to robthem in this case, if that's,
you know the scenario, becausethere's so many scenarios it
sounds like that it was.
It was to kill them.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
It definitely, definitely does sound like that.
It does sound like that, butthe $32,000 was still in there,
so they, as far as we know, theygot away with nothing except
murder, and that's why I'mleaning towards the cult theory,
because that's what a cult or asatanic cult in this situation
(30:48):
would be after.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
They wouldn't be concerned necessarily about the
money.
They're concerned with akilling.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
Well, and that was definitely the direction that
Sherilyn's mother is going withthis and I mean Sherilyn's on a
hit list.
They have a hit list andseveral people have gone missing
, apparently reportedly fromthis hit list.
Several people have gonemissing, apparently reportedly
from this hit list, so who knowsif it was just Sherilyn that
(31:16):
was on the hit list and Bobbyand Madison were collateral
damage because they were there,which makes sense too right?
I don't know, but there arestill so many questions of how
an entire family goes missingand the only survivor is the
family dog.
Investigators continue tosearch for clues into their
(31:39):
bizarre disappearance in thehopes of one day bringing
closure to the family thatremain.
As for their dog, macy, she isdoing well and has since been
adopted by Sherilyn's mother,connie.

A family of three head out into a rural area near
Red Oak, oklahoma, to look atsome land they were considering
to purchase.
It's a cool, crisp fall day andthe leaves are in full
(00:34):
transition to the orange, redand yellow hues that represent
autumn.
It's a very desolate area withvery little human interaction.
Upon arrival, bobby Jameson,his wife Sherilyn and their
six-year-old daughter, Madison,exit the family's white pickup
truck From there.
The events that follow remainunclear.
(00:55):
However, the tragic end tothree lives forever lost and the
mystery that has surroundedthis family's bizarre
disappearance for more than adecade raise more questions than
answers.
And just when you think thingscan't get any stranger, it does.
(01:17):
This is the case into thedisappearance of the Jameson
family.
And this is Gone in a Blink.
Hey, true crime fans, I'm yourhost, heather, and I'm Danielle.
(01:39):
Welcome to episode 38 of Gonein a Blink.
We are almost 40 episodes intoGone in a Blink.
We are almost 40 episodes intoGone in a Blink, and with that I
want to say thank you to all ofour dedicated listeners and for
spreading the word about ourshow to others.
When we started this podcastback in late 2023, I'll be quite
(02:01):
honest we weren't really surewhat we were doing or how to go
about doing it.
We knew that we wanted to dosomething relating to missing
persons and true crime and, moreimportantly, we wanted to help
people get their stories outthere.
All too often when people gomissing, the cases that are not
covered by mainstream media getoverlooked.
(02:23):
Some cases never receive anykind of attention whatsoever.
We are trying to help bringthose cases to light.
While we do mix up our casesand try to throw a variety of
them into our show, it'simportant that we continue to
help be the voice for the manypeople whose stories have been
(02:43):
left untold.
So today's case is one out ofEufaula, oklahoma.
Today we are talking about thestrange and mysterious death of
the Jameson family, so if you'reready, let's jump right in.
Bobby Jameson met Sherilyn in2002, and he pretty much knew
right away that he wanted tospend the rest of his life with
(03:06):
Sherilyn.
A short while later, sherilynlearned that she was pregnant
and by August 2003, she gavebirth to the couple's baby girl,
who they named Madison StormyStarr.
A year later, bobby andSherilyn got married and the
family decided to call Eufaulatheir home, and for geographical
(03:27):
purposes, eufaula isapproximately 123 miles, or 198
kilometers east of Oklahoma City, oklahoma, and it's a pretty
small town with a population offewer than 3,000 people of fewer
than 3,000 people.
Not long after the couplesettled into their home with
Madison, bobby was involved in aterrible car accident that left
(03:50):
him with chronic back pain andthe inability to walk or stand
for extended periods of time.
Because of this, he was unableto find a job.
Sherilyn was battling mentalhealth issues, including severe
bipolar disorder.
This kept her from being ableto hold down a regular job.
Her mental health became evenworse in 2007 when her little
(04:12):
sister, maria, was stung on thetongue by a bee and, as a result
, maria went into anaphylacticshock and soon died.
Due to the couple's instabilityand health issues, they were
forced to rely on the aid ofpublic assistance.
Sherilyn also had a son from aprevious relationship named
Colton.
(04:33):
Colton lived with his mom andBobby until he turned 12 years
old.
Then, in July of 2009, hedecided that he wanted to live
with his bio dad, so he packedup and moved to Oklahoma City.
That he wanted to live with hisbio dad, so he packed up and
moved to Oklahoma City.
This move destroyed Sherilyn,even though Colton wasn't really
that far away and she was stillable to talk with her son on a
frequent basis.
(04:54):
She had a really really hardtime dealing with him being away
, and this caused her mentalhealth to further suffer.
It was around this time alsothat the Jamisons made the
decision to pull six-year-oldMadison out of public school and
instead homeschool her Around.
This time, the family had beenlooking to purchase a 40-acre
(05:15):
plot of land approximately 30miles or 48 kilometers from
Eufaula, near Red Oak.
This is a very isolated area,which actually worked for them,
because they didn't really likesocializing with a lot of other
people anyway and kind of justwanted to be off the grid.
But they weren't planning tobuild a house or anything on
(05:36):
this 40 acre plot.
Instead, they were going tolive in a storage container that
they already owned on theirproperty in Eufaula and, to be
quite honest, I thought this wasrather bizarre, considering
there is not a lot of room in astorage container for one person
, let alone a family of three,and I will post a pic of the
(05:58):
actual storage container on ourFacebook page.
But it is basically a long,narrow container, almost like a
shipping container, really.
I think that's what ittechnically is.
They were going to live in it.
So on October 8th 2009, thefamily hopped into their white
pickup and traveledapproximately 30 miles out to
(06:21):
Red Oak.
It was reported that they wereplanning to meet up with the
individual that was going tosell them the plot of land.
However, that has neveractually been confirmed.
So in the truck with them wastheir dog, maisie.
They reached the area where theplot of land was located, which
was deep in the SandboyMountains, and a man living in
(06:42):
the mountains actually confirmedthat he did in fact see the
family out there.
However, this would be the lasttime that anyone would see the
family alive.
On October 16th 2009, a localhunter stumbled upon the
Jameson's pickup truck.
Police were called and insidethe truck they discovered
Bobby's wallet, sherilyn's purse, some cell phones, an envelope
(07:07):
containing $32,000, and, moreimportantly, the family's dog,
maisie.
Maisie was malnourished andbarely alive, having survived by
eating her own feces.
The following day, hundreds ofvolunteers, along with police,
began searching the mountainsfor the missing family.
That search grew bigger andmore widespread, however, as the
(07:29):
days passed, with still no signof the Jamisons.
So they basically went out hereto meet the person that was
going to sell them the land andthen just completely disappeared
the whole family.
So when police arrived at theJamison's home, they noticed the
big storage container in thefront yard.
It's huge, you can't even missit and the container had several
(07:54):
phrases spray painted on theoutside.
One of the phrases stated,quote only God can judge.
Gossip is a sin, unquote.
Another phrase read quote threecats killed to date by people
in the area.
Witches don't like it whentheir black cats are killed,
(08:16):
unquote.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
So you're saying that these quotes were not on the
storage container before theywent missing?
This was only discovered afterthey went missing.
No, these quotes were on thestorage container before they
went missing.
This was only discovered afterthey went missing.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
No, these quotes were on the container before they
went missing.
But when the police went to thehouse after they went missing
is when they discovered it.
But no, the family actuallywrote this on the container.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
So the family wrote this on the container.
That almost seems like a littlebit of a twist there.
I was under the impression thatit was going in the direction
that they had found this andthis could maybe lead to some
clues.
But you're saying the familywrote this.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Yes, and this will be explained, as odd as it sounds,
a little later in the story,although it will still sound
batshit crazy.
There's a lot of things thatkeep occurring and a lot more
comes out as the story unfoldsto make this even more bizarre
than it started with.
On November 16th 2013, so fouryears after the Jamesons
(09:19):
disappeared, some hunters wereout in the area when they
stumbled on the skeletal remainsof what appeared to be two
adults and one child.
The remains were found justthree miles or 4.8 kilometers
away from where the Jameson'struck was found.
Further search of the areauncovered shoes, pieces of
(09:41):
clothing, adult teeth, part ofan adult arm and leg bone
fragments, and that part had mekind of stumped in a way,
because they searched that areabefore.
They searched that area as soonas they were notified that the
Jameson family were missing.
(10:03):
So I'm not quite sure how, fouryears later, they come upon all
of this Now.
Authorities are saying that theymight have missed it because
there were fallen leaves thatcould have covered up the
remains.
And while I understand that, ifthe bodies were so decomposed
(10:23):
and you hit that point,understand that if the bodies
were so decomposed and you hitthat point, because four years
later you're going to hit thatpoint where they are very well
decomposed by then.
But when they did the initialsearch they would not have been
that decomposed, so they wouldactually still pretty much being
intact for the most part, Iwould think.
But I don't know.
(10:44):
Leaves aren't to me.
Leaves are not going to coverup an entire body.
They will cover up possiblybone fragments and things like
that.
I mean, what do you think aboutthat?
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Yeah, that sounds pretty odd.
I would have thought exactlyhow you feel that when they
first looked at that they wouldhave been able to find something
, and leaves aren't going tocover it solely.
I guess where my mind was goingas well if they discovered all
this four years later but theydidn't discover it with their
initial search.
Could there be a fourth personinvolved?
Speaker 1 (11:15):
There could very well be a fourth person involved,
and that's what's so strange.
There's a lot of theories thatwe'll go over in a bit about who
that fourth person may or maynot have been.
So on July 3rd 2014, afterusing anthropological and
forensic pathological testing,oklahoma State Medical Examiner
(11:38):
Dr Joshua Lanter confirmed thatthe remains were that of Bobby
Jamison, his wife Sherilyn andsix-year-old Madison.
He stated in his report thatthe cause and manner of death
were unknown due to the amountof decomposition and the fact
that the skeletal remains wereincomplete.
He stated that there was noevidence of trauma, although he
(12:01):
could not completely rule thatout due to the incomplete
remains.
His final report stated thatthe deaths occurred under
suspicious circumstances.
So one of the most talked aboutand extremely creepy aspects of
this case is the footage fromthe family's surveillance camera
from the day they disappeared.
(12:21):
This was time stamped on theday they left their house.
In the footage, the coupleappeared to be almost in a
trance-like state, as if theywere sleepwalking kind of, and
they made several trips betweentheir truck and their house.
It was described that at timesthey were making several trips
back and forth carrying the samething.
(12:44):
Other times they would go backand forth carrying nothing at
all, and often they would bothjust stop at the same time in
between these trips and juststare into space for what
appeared to be no reason, andthen they would start walking
again.
They never appear to be talkingto each other and authorities
(13:04):
actually turned the video overto a behavioral expert who
immediately believed that itappeared the couple were under
the influence of some sort ofdrug, and you can actually find
the footage of this online, andI did.
However, the video pauses ateach frame, so it's just a video
that goes frame by frame byframe, so you're not really
(13:28):
seeing the full effect of whatinvestigators described.
So I'm thinking that the actualfootage is more continuous,
because what you're going tofind online or what I found
maybe someone else will findsomething else that is more in
tune with what investigatorsdescribe, but what I found?
You cannot tell that they'restopping to stare off into space
(13:50):
and you cannot tell really thatthey're walking in a
trance-like state, because itjust is playing frame by frame,
if that makes sense.
The video also shows Sherilynplace a brown briefcase into the
vehicle.
Former Latimer County SheriffIsrael Buchamp believes that
this briefcase could hold amajor clue in this case, however
(14:12):
, strangely enough it was not inthe truck with everything else
that had been recovered and infact to this day it still has
never been recovered.
Officers observed the fact thatthe Jameson's truck showed no
evidence of any kind of struggle.
Latimer County Sheriff Buchamplater stated, quote I think they
were forced to stop and got outof the truck to meet with
(14:35):
someone they recognize and Ithink they either left of their
own free will or by force,unquote.
One other important item missingfrom the truck besides the
brown briefcase was a .22caliber handgun registered to
Sherilyn.
This also has never beenrecovered, has never been
(14:58):
recovered.
So I thought that was kind ofstrange too, that the video
shows her putting a brownbriefcase into the truck.
Yet that was not found, nor wasthe gun.
So whatever happened to themmust have involved someone
getting into the vehicle andtaking the briefcase, or they
went and dropped it offsomewhere.
I don't know.
That's a huge mystery.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Yeah, that seems kind of odd.
I think also the brownbriefcase would be for important
things, obviously, but yet the$32,000 wasn't in there, it was
still in the truck.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Yeah, that's strange too.
So that makes me think they mayhave dropped off the briefcase
somewhere or to someone so muchlike any case like this.
There are many theories intowhat might have happened to the
Jameson family, and with eachtheory the case just keeps
getting stranger and stranger.
So the first theory we'll diveinto is the thought that maybe
(15:49):
the family got lost in the woodsand died of hypothermia.
I feel like this theory couldbe shot down pretty quickly,
though, simply for the fact thatit was reported that
temperatures for that areaduring that time only got down
into the 40s for a low, so itwasn't like crazy cold.
And then there is still thefact that the bodies were found
(16:10):
just a mere 2.7 miles or 4.35kilometers from the truck.
I mean, I guess they could havegotten lost and not realized
they were that close to thetruck.
That's possible, but I reallydon't think that is one of the
more likely scenarios.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
No, it's not sounding like it.
I kind of feel like, if theyintentionally went into the
woods as well, that they wouldhave brought their dog with them
too.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
I would have also thought that they would have
brought the dog, and that makesme lean more to the fact that
maybe, or the thought that maybethey were forced to get out of
the truck, or they had onlyplanned on getting out of the
truck for just a minute or two,because the child is with them
but the dog is not, so I don'tknow Sounds.
(16:58):
I mean, if someone was forcingthem to get out of the truck, I
don't feel like they would havebeen like take the dog too.
The next theory is that it wasa murder-suicide, and this was
actually.
This was actually my firstthought about this case.
During the investigation,police found an 11-page letter
(17:18):
inside the truck that appearedto be a hate letter written by
Sherilyn to her husband Bobby.
In the letter she talks abouthow she hates being married to
him, that he acts like a hermitand that she was considering
divorce.
I'm not so sure anymore thatthis was in fact a
murder-suicide I did it firstbut there's no mention of a gun
(17:41):
that was ever found near thebodies, and that's a big deal.
And Sherilyn's handgun is stillmissing.
So I mean, common sense kind oftells you, unless somebody came
along and found the gun andtook it.
That's a possibility, though, Iguess.
So I don't know.
I don't know that I feel thatone happened either.
(18:01):
I mean, what do you think aboutthat?
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Yeah, that's a tough one.
I mean it is a possibility, butyeah, I really feel like that
they would have recovered thegun in the midst of the search.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Another theory into the Jamesons' disappearance is
that Bobby's father, bob DeanJameson, had something to do
with the family's deaths.
Right before the familydisappeared, bobby was involved
in a lawsuit with his father,claiming that Bob had made
threats towards Bobby and thathe had struck him with his car
(18:35):
in November 2008.
Bobby also made claims againsthis father that he was involved
in meth, prostitutes, gangs andother criminal activity.
Bobby had also filed aprotective order against his dad
, stating that Bob was a verydangerous man and that the
family was afraid for theirlives.
This protective order waseventually dismissed on May 18,
(18:58):
2009, less than three monthsbefore the Jamisons went missing
.
Bobby and his father, bob,shared a pretty estranged
relationship, to say the least,and this carried on until the
time that the Jamison familydisappeared.
Bob Dean had owned a gasstation, apparently at one time,
where he and Bobby workedtogether and half of the gas
(19:20):
station's earnings were to go toBobby.
However, bobby stated that Bobnever paid him for his work.
I'm not even sure how peoplestill consider this a theory,
though, because it had beenreported that Bob Jameson died
approximately two months beforethe Jamesons disappeared.
So, unless he had orchestratedsome sort of plan before that to
(19:43):
have the family killed.
I don't think this theory has aleg to stand on, and he was
never considered a suspect inthis case.
Anyway, that could be becausehe was already dead.
Then there's the theory that theJamesons were murdered by a
cult.
So Sherilyn's mother, connie,firmly believes that the family
(20:05):
were murdered by a religiouscult, and Connie stated in an
article in BuzzFeed that herdaughter, sherilyn, was on a hit
list that belonged to aspecific cult.
According to an episode of theinvestigative discovery show
called Disappeared, sherilyn'sbest friend, nikki Chennauld,
stated that she had received aphone call from an anonymous
(20:27):
woman who claimed to have oncebeen part of a white supremacy
group.
She claimed that the group kepta book that contained a hit
list of names of individuals whohad created problems for the
group.
Sherilyn's name was on thatlist, along with many other
people who had gone missing, andcults were known to have been
(20:48):
an active thing, especially inthe area where the Jamisons
disappeared.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
I wonder could the Jamison family have been a part
of this cult?
Just from what you've said sofar about finding the shipping
container and the verbiage onthere, I think that's a strong
possibility and you know I meanit's anyone's guess.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
But there were also reports that they had dabbled
into things such as witchcraftand Sherilyn had professed to
neighbors that she was in fact awitch.
I'm sure not all people thatprofess themselves as being
witches are part of a cult, butit's a possibility that they
(21:31):
were dabbling in things likethat and this would explain the
graffiti she spray painted onthe outside of the storage
container about witches notliking when their black cats go
missing.
According to Sherilyn's friend,nikki, sherilyn believed that
her neighbors were trying topoison her cats.
Sherilyn spray painted themessage on the container in her
(21:52):
yard as a way to scare theneighbors into thinking that she
was a witch.
After that the neighbors prettymuch stayed away from the
Jamesons.
So keep in mind too, sherilynwas dealing with mental health
issues pretty bad that just keptgetting worse and worse.
So I'm sure that kind of playedinto a lot of stuff.
(22:12):
Whether or not her neighborswere actually poisoning her cats
I don't know, but the neighborsdecided just to stay away from
the family.
So also, a satanic bible wasfound in the Jamesons' home and
there were reports that Sherilynwould take part in such things
as seances and things like that.
Now Nikki says I think Nikkiwas taking part in those too.
(22:35):
But Nikki says it was just allfun and games, that they didn't
believe in that stuff, they werejust playing around and that
could be a possibility.
A lot of people do things likethat just for fun, not really
putting much stock into it.
I don't know that this familywas one of those people that
just kind of did it as fun andgames.
(22:56):
I don't know.
But according to Sheriff Buchamp, the family definitely had an
obsession with the dead and atone point the family believed
that their house was hauntedwith evil spirits.
Bobby went to their churchpastor Gary Brandon and asked
him about special bullets thatcould be used to shoot evil
(23:17):
spirits.
The evil spirits weresupposedly that of two children
that lived there prior, namedEmily and Michael, who had
befriended their daughterMadison.
Madison would haveconversations with the spirits.
According to Nikki, when Bobbycouldn't get any help from
Pastor Gary, bobby obtained theSatanic Bible in an effort to
(23:40):
perform an exorcism on thespirits himself.
Nikki believes that there wereactually evil spirits in the
Jamesons' home and that Sherilynonce told her that Bobby had a
few episodes where his eyessuddenly went black and he
(24:04):
lunged at her in a threateningmanner.
So make of this what you will.
There was also an incident worthmentioning regarding a man by
the name of Kenneth Bellows.
An incident worth mentioningregarding a man by the name of
Kenneth Bellows.
Apparently, bellows was anacquaintance of the couple who
had recently moved into theJameson house to help the family
with some handiwork around thehouse.
(24:25):
Now I that is the first bigno-no, in my opinion.
In true crime, never let astrange man move into your home,
especially when you havechildren, or at all, but
especially when you havechildren, in this case, a
six-year-old child.
It's something that, more timesthan not, will not end well.
(24:47):
So it turned out that this manwas part of a white supremacy
group, whatever, and he foundout that Sherilyn's ancestors
were Native American.
Sherilyn was very proud of that, as she should be, but it was
reported that after engagingwith Sherilyn one day about her
ancestors, bellows gets fired upand tells her that it would be
(25:10):
better if she were dead, becausehe stated that those who are
not white don't deserve to live.
Those were his words, so it'spretty sick stuff.
So apparently he had grabbedher before saying this and
refused to let go.
And she eventually manages tobreak free and she grabs Madison
(25:34):
and runs to the bedroom and ashort while later she comes back
with her .22 caliber pistol andfires shots into the ground
near where Bellows is standingand tells him to get out of the
house.
So it goes without saying thatthis family has been involved
with some pretty strange things.
Sherilyn's mental health wastaking a toll and, according to
(25:56):
her mother, her behavior in themonths leading up to the
family's death just kept gettingmore strange.
There was even an incidentwhere she was riding with her
daughter to Oklahoma City whenSherilyn just pulled over and
demanded that her mother get outof the car.
When Sherilyn just pulled overand demanded that her mother get
out of the car, I'm unsure ofwhat led up to that moment, but
Sherilyn's mental health wasdefinitely struggling.
(26:18):
So obviously there are severaltheories into this case.
No one knows exactly whathappened, but there are many
theories.
Some are a little morefar-fetched than others, but
what is your take on all thetheories that we've discussed so
far and what may or may not bemore likely to have happened?
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Well, definitely that there's a lot of good theories.
What you've mentioned about thecult activity, I think could be
very likely that they weredabbling in cult and with
Sherilyn's mental health Iwonder if that started to cause
trouble for the colt.
And just you know, you had saidshe had bipolar, so you never
(26:59):
know, like how her behavior isgoing to be if she's going to
lash out at somebody, and so Iwas thinking of that theory as
you were talking.
But also when you mentioned theguy that came and moved into
the home, I kind of feel likethere's our fourth person, that
it very likely could be him.
But I guess what's a mystery forme in all of this is one the
(27:21):
dog, the poor little guy, was inthe car, as if they thought
they were going to be comingback to the car.
Because I feel like if theythought, okay, this is our spot,
or we're going to be out backto the car, because I feel like
if they thought, okay, this isour spot, or we're going to be
out for a little while, thatthey would have had the dog come
with them and then also the$32,000.
If it was any kind of likerobbery or someone that knew
(27:44):
that they had it.
I feel like that would havebeen gone.
We know it wasn't in thebriefcase, but I guess that
maybe they hid it someplacereally well in the car.
If it was a robbery, they wouldhave looked for that.
But this fourth person ifthat's the theory, then maybe
not.
Maybe their goal was to killthe family.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Well, and the car was found locked and I think that
is extremely strange, because ifthey were forced out of the car
, why would they lock it?
But at the same time, if theywere getting out of the car to
meet with someone, why wouldthey leave the dog in there and
(28:27):
lock it unless they were meetingwith someone?
And it was only for a momentand they knew they had that
money in there.
I could see them locking itbecause of the money.
If they were only going to be ashort while, so maybe, but then
they had the keys on them.
So if someone, if someone shotthem or killed them, why
(28:51):
wouldn't they get the keys?
You would think that they wouldwant to get into the car and
see what they could take out ofthe vehicle.
They wouldn't just leave, Iwould figure.
I mean, it's all really strangeLocking the car, leaving the
dog in the car, $32,000 in thecar, but the briefcase and what
(29:11):
was in the briefcase?
That's my big thing.
You would think the $32,000would have been in the briefcase
, right.
But then, like I mentioned, whoreally walks around with money
in a briefcase?
That's kind of movie like.
But I don't know.
Nothing makes sense in thisentire case.
There's no logic.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
It almost reminds me of kind of like a Facebook
market transaction, to whereyou're meeting someone to
exchange and it sounds like thewhole family got out except for
the dog.
They locked the car, talkingwith the person first and then
was going to go back in toexchange the $32,000.
(29:51):
And so maybe a ploy to get themout there.
I mean, there's so manypossibilities of who that kind
of the fourth person could be orof what happened.
I just kind of thought, okay,with the Colt situation, to kind
of lure them out there in asecluded area.
They thought they were gettingsomething and brought the
(30:12):
$32,000, but really it wasbecause they wanted to kill them
, like I was saying.
Like, unless the goal is to robthem in this case, if that's,
you know the scenario, becausethere's so many scenarios it
sounds like that it was.
It was to kill them.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
It definitely, definitely does sound like that.
It does sound like that, butthe $32,000 was still in there,
so they, as far as we know, theygot away with nothing except
murder, and that's why I'mleaning towards the cult theory,
because that's what a cult or asatanic cult in this situation
(30:48):
would be after.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
They wouldn't be concerned necessarily about the
money.
They're concerned with akilling.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
Well, and that was definitely the direction that
Sherilyn's mother is going withthis and I mean Sherilyn's on a
hit list.
They have a hit list andseveral people have gone missing
, apparently reportedly fromthis hit list.
Several people have gonemissing, apparently reportedly
from this hit list, so who knowsif it was just Sherilyn that
(31:16):
was on the hit list and Bobbyand Madison were collateral
damage because they were there,which makes sense too right?
I don't know, but there arestill so many questions of how
an entire family goes missingand the only survivor is the
family dog.
Investigators continue tosearch for clues into their
(31:39):
bizarre disappearance in thehopes of one day bringing
closure to the family thatremain.
As for their dog, macy, she isdoing well and has since been
adopted by Sherilyn's mother,connie.

or Madison Jameson, pleasecontact the Latimer County
