    About this ebook

    The Jamisons disappeared on a warm October day. It would be four years before their bodies were discovered. They were not missed for several days; neither worked and Madyson was home schooled. They were known for setting off at short notice and without informing friends and family. Nobody really noticed their absence, at first.
    When their disappearance finally reached the ears of the police, they set out to find what had happened to the family. The white pick-up truck in which they travelled was not going to be easy to hide, and indeed, it was eventually discovered a few days later, parked – maybe - in a clearing off the road. It was about a mile from this spot that their decomposed bodies would eventually be found four years on.

      THE DISAPPEARANCE OF THE JAMISON FAMILY

      TABLE OF CONTENTS

      JAMISON FAMILY

      JESSICA HEERINGA

      BOBBY GREENLEASE

      Still Lost in the Wilderness

      A perfect family unit.  Mom, dad and little Madyson.  An idyllic home, a large property set in a comfortably garden, plenty of room for Madyson and the family dog, Maisy to play.  The house even looks out onto a pretty lake. 

      As glorious as all of that sounds, it was going to get better.  Bobby and Sherilyn Jamison had grand plans.  They were going to get off the beaten track altogether.  Near Red Oak, Oklahoma, a plot of land had come up for sale.  In the semi-wilderness, mountainous, it would be hard to picture anything more attractive to a family who loved each other and wished to grow up as a self-contained unit.  Forty acres, woodlands, waterways.  They planned to live, to begin with at least, in a converted container.

      That might sound a bit rough and ready but take a look on line and it can be seen that beautiful homes can be constructed from containers relatively easily, extremely quickly and with some charm.  Indeed, Sherilyn, who had an artistic streak, had already painted their container. Of sorts. All that was needed was to secure their purchase of the land, move the trailer in, set up a power supply and they could begin their new life.

      The lakeside home, which was in Eufaula, Oklahoma, would be kept, and rented out to supply the funds needed to turn their dream into a challenging, but desirable reality.  Theirs was a vision many of us hold.  The difference appeared to be that the Jamison’s planned to make that vision a reality.  They had worked it out, now they were ready to begin their new life.  Almost.

      Eufaula is a pretty community itself.  Inevitably, based as it is around the city’s eponymous lake – the name translates to ‘Gentle Giant’ - Eufaula became busy in the summer as tourists flocked to enjoy the water sports on offer, the walks or just the gorgeous landscape.  Maybe that was why the Jamisons were seeking somewhere even more rural.  But that does not take away from the fact that the city of just under three thousand permanent residents offers a lot to its locals.  Some excellent restaurants, concerts, a strong sense of community, farmers’ markets, surprisingly high-quality shops and a museum.

      It even has its own small airport; maybe being the main seat of Mcintosh County makes that necessary.  The city’s name originates from its native American heritage, the region was once home to the Eufaula tribe, and even today it sits within the Muscogee Creek Confederacy, after the name given to these indigenous people by European settlers.  Like many smaller settlements in rural Alabama, Oklahoma and Georgia, the city grew after the railroad passed through the region and a station was located within its boundaries.  As with many rural communities, there is some poverty in the city, but not a lot for a location with a very mixed ethnic population.  Indeed, that cultural mix would play a small role in what was to develop in this case.

      Not in a bad way, as far as the Jamison’s own attitudes were concerned, but possibly in a slightly significant one.  By the Autumn of 2009 the deal on the new land was close to being sealed and so, on October 8th, the family, Maisy the dog included, went to see the land and speak to an agent involved in the sale.  It was a relatively short journey, just thirty miles to the foot of the Santa Bois Mountains where the land was located.  We can imagine the excitement in the family, the sense that they were close now to finding their dream.  Not that they were leaving behind anything other than a home that was extremely pleasant.  A lucky family. A happy family.  A family with a future.

      How words and pictures can deceive us.  The facts above are correct.  Their implications false.  The extent to which they mislead might surprise.  Because the Jamison’s were undergoing a very, very tough time.  All of
