Identified by friends and family, Bobby and Sherilyn Jamison displayed unusual behavior and left behind eerie messages before their mysterious disappearance.

Strange behavior observed before disappearance

The period leading up to the Jamison family's disappearance was marked by a series of peculiar incidents and behaviors. Bobby Jamison, who had been suffering from chronic back pain due to a car accident in 2003, and his wife Sherilyn, who was bipolar and at times refrained from taking her medication, experiencing severe depression and angry outbursts, were not acting like themselves. Their belief that their house was inhabited by spirits, which they thought were living on the roof, led Bobby to go as far as to inquire with his pastor on where he could purchase special bullets to shoot these apparitions.

Adding to their unconventional behavior, the Jamisons were contemplating a move in an effort to find happiness and start anew—a decision they had not shared with their friends and family. Prior to their disappearance, they were observed making multiple trips to and from their truck. On some of these trips, they carried items, but on others, they walked empty-handed. Witnesses noted their odd demeanor during this activity; they stopped abruptly, stared off into the distance without acknowledging one another, and seemed to be ...

The mysterious case of the Jamison family, whose partial remains were found after their disappearance, has spurred various theories due to the inconclusive evidence and strange circumstances surrounding their case.

Murder by the white supremacist boarder

Although not explicitly listed in the outline or the content provided, it is implied through mentioning the holes found in Bobby's skull and the bones that some speculated could be bullet holes. Given this, one of the theories posits that the family could have encountered foul play at the hands of a white supremacist boarder. However, due to a lack of confirmation about the bullet holes, this theory, like many around this case, remains unverified.

Murder-suicide by Sherilyn due to instability

Another theory suggests that Sherilyn, wrestling with untreated bipolar disorder, might have led to a murder-suicide. However, this theory is contested by her family, who firmly believe Sherilyn would never harm her daughter. Additionally, the presence of the dog and $32,000 in cash left in the car obscure this theory, as both might have been taken if a planned murder-suicide were the case.

Became lost in the woods and died of exposure

Some initially thought that the Jamisons might have simply become lost after walking into the woods. The police conducted searches based on cell phone GPS locations, which showed the family moving up a trail to the top of a mountain before returning to their truck. However, the family’s remains were not found despite extensive searches. Given that conditions were mild, they would have had to be lost for a while to die from exposure. Moreover, the area's search shortly after their disappearance yielded nothing, despite their proximity to the road, which challenges the theory.

Theories have emerged attempting to explain the mysterious disappearance of Colin Madsen, with evidence ranging from suspicious injuries to lab findings pointing towards potentially sinister events.

Murdered by the Russian government

Some people speculate that the Russian government was involved in Colin Madsen's disappearance and death. This belief is fueled by Colin's history of activism; he had participated in a peaceful protest in Siberia and received a written warning from the Russian police urging him not to attend another. The theory posits that he was targeted by the government, who later kidnapped and killed him, and that the investigation into his death was merely a cover-up.

Murdered by unknown persons after disappearance

The condition of Colin Madsen's body when found also raises questions. He was discovered in a clearing showing signs of a physical altercation, with visible abrasions and cuts on his hands, wrists, and neck indicative of being restrained. Furthermore, his clothing was ripped, and notably, he was not wearing socks—peculiar because he usually needed them due to painful scars on his ankles.

An autopsy by Russian authorities proposed that Colin died of hypothermia after getting lost in the forest. However, Colin's parents doubted this explanation given his knowledge of the Siberian region and commissioned a US-based private lab to review the findings. The US lab concluded that Colin had not suffered from hypothermia, was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol, and likely died from suffocation, pointing towards mu ...
