This episode discusses the mysterious disappearance of the Jamison family in Oklahoma, covering theories of murder-suicide, misadventure, and foul play.

The Jamison family, consisting of a mother, father, and their 6-year-old child, vanished after visiting a potential property purchase. Their truck was found abandoned with $32,000 in cash, a dog, and personal items left behind.

One theory suggests murder-suicide, pointing to the mother's mental health struggles and a letter found in the truck. However, questions arise about the absence of a weapon and how they ended up far from their vehicle.

Another theory is misadventure, speculating they got lost while exploring the area. Yet, evidence shows they returned to their truck before disappearing, raising doubts about this scenario.

The final theory involves foul play, with the former sheriff suggesting that the large amount of cash they carried could have attracted unwanted attention. The episode invites listeners to consider which theory they believe explains the family's tragic fate.

TLDR

The Jamison family disappeared in Oklahoma, leading to theories of murder-suicide, misadventure, and foul play regarding their fate.

Episode

2:27
00:00:00
A mother, father, and 6-year-old child disappear into the Oklahoma mountains after going to look at a rural property
00:00:07
that they were interested in purchasing. Their truck is found near the tract of land that they were looking at buying
00:00:12
with a bunch of things inside that they would never have just left behind. I'm talking $32,000 in cash, a starving dog,
00:00:19
a phone, their keys, and there was no sign of them for 4 years. But then the family is found dead not far from where
00:00:27
the truck was. Now, as I looked in this case, I found three theories about what could have happened to the Jamison
00:00:32
family. Theory number one is murder-suicide. Now, this is the one that some people latch onto early
00:00:38
because of Sherilyn, the mother. She'd recently stopped taking her medication, and she'd struggled with mental health
00:00:44
issues. Police actually found this long handwritten letter in the truck where she talks about hating her husband,
00:00:51
Bobby, and she accuses him of trying to kill her. So, some wonder, did Sherilyn take her family onto that mountain and
00:00:58
kill them? But if that's true, where is the weapon? Cuz none was ever found. And how did
00:01:04
they end up miles away from their truck? The terrain was harsh. It would have been hard to make it there on foot.
00:01:12
Now, theory number two is that they could have died of misadventure. Did they go exploring and somehow get lost?
00:01:18
Maybe they're unfamiliar with the land and they got like turned around? Or some even wonder if they could have been on
00:01:24
drugs because there is this infamous surveillance footage of the family loading their truck before they
00:01:28
disappeared where people have said that they look like they're quote in a trance. But here is my issue with
00:01:34
misadventure. No matter how it could have happened, we know that the family made it back to the truck after
00:01:40
exploring the property because of the digital trail from their GPS and this picture on their BlackBerry. The truck
00:01:47
is even turned around like they were about to leave and drive down the mountain after looking around. So, then
00:01:53
why suddenly stop, leave everything behind, and then like go back out? Which brings me to theory number three,
00:01:59
foul play. And this is the one that I think fits most of the facts and the theory that the former sheriff seems to
00:02:05
buy into as well. He says, "Follow the money." The Jamesons were carrying huge amounts
00:02:11
of cash. They were looking at remote land. So who knew that they would be there?
00:02:16
If you have watched the whole video, I want to hear from you in the comments. Which theory do you think holds the
00:02:23
answers to what happened to the Jameson family?
