On October 8, 2009, Bobby, Sherilynn, and six-year-old Madyson Jamison vanished during what was supposed to be a simple trip to view a parcel of land in Oklahoma’s remote Sans Bois Mountains. Their truck was later found abandoned with $32,000 in cash, cell phones, wallets, and their beloved dog — yet no sign of the family. Four years later, skeletal remains confirmed their deaths, but no cause or culprit was ever determined. This disappearance stands among the most mystifying in modern American true crime.
Into Thin Air plunges into every facet of this labyrinthine case: surveillance footage showing the Jamisons in a "trance-like" state, missing items like Sherilynn’s handgun and briefcase, suspicion of drug involvement fueled by the cash, domestic strife, mental-health struggles, alleged occult beliefs, and ominous family tensions . Drawing on police and FBI files, witness interviews, and the Jamisons’ own words, you’ll trace the haunting footsteps from their truck into the wilderness—and follow the official searches, conspiracy theories, and personal tragedies that followed.
This book goes beyond a cold‑case recounting—it’s an exploration of how grief, fear, desperation, and delusion intertwine. The narrative balances meticulous reporting with compassionate storytelling, unpacking Bobby’s chronic pain and Sherilynn’s mental health, and allowing readers to witness their daughter Madyson’s last moments. Into Thin Air isn’t just another missing‑family tale—it’s a cautionary, human story with no easy answers, and will grip readers who crave deeply researched, emotionally resonant mysteries with lingering chills.
