EUFAULA, OK -- The holidays are a time for loved ones to be together, but Niki Shenold worries her best friend's family has been forgotten. 44-year-old Bobby Jamison, his 40-year-old wife, Sherilyn, and their 6-year-old daughter, Madyson have been missing since October 7th.
The family's truck was found near the town of Red Oak in Latimer County.
Investigators found a small dog, cell phones, a global positioning system, maps, shoes, jackets, and cash inside the truck.
More than 300 volunteers searched the heavily-wooded area nearby for weeks with no results.
Shenold is Sherilyn's best friend. The two met in 1998 in the metro, bonded over books, and the friendship took off.
Shenold says, "Our daughters were born exactly one month apart and they were best friends as well."
The Jamison's had a lake house in Eufaula and loved it so much they moved there full time.
Shenold says, "They were good people. People are speculating about drug deals and this or that, but they just were people trying to live. I don't know what to think, I mean it's as if they stepped out of the truck and vanished."
After weeks of unsuccessful searches, Shenold says she's convinced the family is gone for good.
She says she wants to grieve, but can't because she does not know where Sherilyn, Bobby, and young Madyson are located
