Hunt for missing family goes national
A search for a missing Eufaula-area family is now getting assistance from a national group which tries to help locate missing children.
“The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children is trying to help us out now,” said Latimer County Sheriff Israel Beauchamp.
Madyson Jamison, who is 6 and from the Eufaula area, has been missing since Oct. 7, along with her father, Bobby Jamison, and her mother, Sherilynn Jamison.
This morning, Madyson Jamison’s picture and information about her had been prominently listed on the center’s Web site at www.missingkids.com.
A media representative for the center, which is based near Washington D.C. in Alexandria, Va., said the photos are rotated throughout the day, but information can be pulled up by conducting a search on the Web site.
The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children’s Web site states that “When Madyson was last seen, her front teeth were missing. She was last seen wearing blue jeans and a long sleeve pink shirt with small flowers printed on it.”
She stands three feet, 10 inches tall and weighs 50 pounds.
Anyone with any information can contact the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children at 1 (800) THE-LOST, which is 1 (800) 843-5678, or the Latimer County Sheriff’s Department at 465-2161.
Beauchamp said Latimer County Undersheriff Matt Bohn met with a representative from the group on Monday. They traveled to the scene where the family’s pickup had been found parked on Panola Mountain, near Red Oak.
The Latimer County Sheriff’s Department found the truck on Oct. 17 after hunters reported the pickup had been sitting by the side of the road for some time with a small dog inside it.
They found the pick-up parked on a dirt road in an isolated area near a well-site where a natural gas drilling rig had once been, according to Wells. Inside the pickup, they found a large amount of cash and a small dog, still alive.
Beauchamp, Bond and other investigators continue to hope that the search for the missing family will end with the family being found.
