Hunters Found Them After Four Years... #truecrimeshorts #truecrimestories #crimejunkies #podcast

May 31, 2026 / 02:44

This episode discusses the mysterious disappearance of the Jameson family and their eventual discovery in 2013, four years after they went missing. Key topics include the circumstances surrounding their disappearance, the discovery of their remains by Tim Graham during a hunting trip, and the implications of their location.

In November 2013, Tim Graham, while on a hunting trip, finds a skull near where the Jamesons' truck was abandoned. He and his family realize they may have discovered the remains of the missing family, which includes a child's skull with missing teeth.

After a thorough analysis, it is confirmed in June 2014 that the remains belong to the Jameson family, found just 2.6 miles from their truck. The difficulty of the terrain raises questions about how they could have reached that location, especially considering Bobby's chronic back pain.

The episode discusses the implications of their remains being found so far from their vehicle, suggesting foul play rather than a murder-suicide scenario, which some still believe.

TLDR

The Jameson family's remains were found in 2013, raising questions about their disappearance and suggesting foul play.

00:00:00
That stops being a plausible theory in 2013. Because that's when the entire family is
00:00:06
actually found, not too far from where their abandoned truck stood four years earlier. On November 16th, 2013, this is
00:00:16
four years after the Jamesons disappeared, a man named Tim Graham is with his wife and family on their annual
00:00:23
hunting trip to the mountain. They're just looking for signs of deer when Tim sees something strange in the brush,
00:00:30
about like 50 yards away from a gravel road. It looks like a turtle shell at first. I mean, it's weathered,
00:00:37
discolored, and a little stuck to the ground. But when he picks it up, he realizes
00:00:43
that it is a skull. And there is a small hole near the forehead. Now, Tim immediately puts it down and
00:00:50
yells to his wife, but then he sees another one, like a slightly smaller one. And then as the family is trying to
00:00:56
get out of there and to go tell someone what they found, Tim's wife spots a third, really small skull with two front
00:01:04
teeth missing. And her mind immediately goes to the Jamesons because she remembers seeing missing persons posters
00:01:11
for the family. Madison's toothless grin is seared in her brain. >> [music] >> And in that moment, she says to her
00:01:18
husband, "Oh my goodness, I believe we just found that family that was missing."
00:01:24
And she was right. Now, there wasn't much left out there, just an arm and a leg bone, a leg boot, scraps of another
00:01:31
boot, and a child's shoe, but nothing else. No briefcase, no gun. And after about seven months of
00:01:40
analysis, in June 2014, they're able to confirm that they found the entire family just 2.6 [music]
00:01:48
miles from where their truck was found. >> Uh, like 2.6, like 2 and 1/2 miles away.
00:01:54
>> That's it. Which like, I know this sounds like nothing to us like flat-landed folk who like live in the
00:02:00
Midwest. I can see 5 miles for ages. Fields and fields. But Beecham said that to go from where their truck was found
00:02:07
to where their skulls were recovered, like as the crow flies, it would take like a half day for someone who is in
00:02:14
great shape to hike. Which makes this location all the more strange because Bobby was not in great shape. He had
00:02:21
chronic back pain. And I don't know if you've tried hiking with a 6-year-old recently, but like in this area that
00:02:27
would slow you way down. Most people don't think there is any way that they got to that location on their own. And
00:02:34
this completely nixes the murder-suicide theory. Like it has to be foul play. But
00:02:40
for some reason, it like it doesn't for some people.
