No Struggle. No Sign of Them. #truecrimeshorts #truecrimestories #crimejunkies #podcast | Forensic Files

Now, there's nothing in the immediate area around the truck that would suggest something happened to the family there.
[music] No sign of a struggle, no blood. But, I will say there had been big rain
storms the last few days there that could have washed away evidence if there was any to find.
>> [music] >> Either way, all signs point to bad. And authorities need to get boots on the
ground and find the Jamesons because they're already days, if not a full week, behind and this isn't going to be
an easy search. This area on the mountain, I said, rugged terrain and I do not mean that lightly. This isn't a
developed area with fully built homes or walking trails. This is middle of nowhere country and the people who live
up there are living off the grid. In fact, that was Bobby and Sherilyn's plan. They were going to buy some land
and live out of a shipping container and home school Madison. Which honestly, when I heard the story years ago, back
when I first learned about this case, like I couldn't even wrap my head around that. Off-grid, I don't know, these days
is kind of sounding more like the way to go, but like they were excited about this plan. So, over the next week or so,
massive searches start getting underway to find the family. They're combing the mountain up from the base through the
north side into an area called Smokestack Hollow. And not only are they dealing with the harsh environment as it
normally is, but those rain storms that they had earlier make it so that they're
slogging through mud and wet brush along the way. But, they search and search and there is
just not so much as a sign of this family or what happened to them on the mountain. But, that might be because the
biggest clues are actually buried in what was happening with the Jamesons before they ever even got to the
mountain.

When Bobby, Sherilynn, and Madyson Jamison disappeared in Oklahoma’s Sans Bois Mountains, investigators launched massive searches across the rugged terrain surrounding Panola Mountain.

But despite days of searching through mud, thick brush, and remote off-grid land, authorities found almost nothing connected to the family. There were no obvious signs of a struggle near the abandoned truck, though heavy rainstorms may have washed away evidence before investigators arrived.

The Jamisons had reportedly planned to move off-grid and start a new life in the mountains. But as searches continued without answers, investigators began to wonder if the biggest clues to what happened were connected to problems the family faced before they ever arrived on the mountain.
