The Jamison family mysteriously disappeared in October 2009, but then reappeared in 2013. The missing four years of the Jamison family is still a mystery involving their background, evidence, and multiple theories. Bobby Dale Jamison, Sherilynn Leighann Jamison, and their six-year-old daughter were residents of Eufaula, Oklahoma. The Jamison’s were purchasing a 40-acre plot, 30 miles away from their rented residence. The last time they were seen alive was on their home security camera footage. They looked dazed, as though something was not quite right in the house. They packed their belongings, left the home, and were never seen alive again. (Wax, N.P.) The mysterious disappearance of the Jamison family has been a difficult case, but the investigators …show more content…
At the scene, investigators found a hatefully written 11-page letter among some of the Jamison’s belongings. Upon further investigation, police found the letter had been written by Sherilyn which led them to believe it could have been a murder-suicide. The next theory regarding the disappearance of the Jamison’s is they were involved in witchcraft. The Jamison’s made it known their house was haunted and that they were involved in spiritual warfare. Police found a strange message inside of the Jamison’s house, but they were never able to figure out who wrote it. Police also found a witch’s bible belonging to Sherilyn. Sherilyn’s mother said her daughter was part of a cult and her daughter’s name was the cult’s murder list. (Swancer, n.p.) The final theory is they were both involved with drugs which could have been the cause of their deaths. It has been said that crystal meth was a huge hit in the Jamison’s home town and they both looked like they could have been using drugs for a while. The proof for this theory is $32,000 was found in their car and items for making meth were found near the bodies. This could have been the reason for the Jamison’s strange behavior before they disappeared. Investigators believe there could have been a disagreeable drug deal which may have led to the murder of the

The two janitors were then taken to the hospital and made to give sperm, blood, and hair samples from their head
There has been many unsolved murder mysteries, and one of them is the case of Jonbenet Ramsey. The case hasn’t been solved for over twenty years. There have been many theories about the case, one of them is The Intruder Theory. The Intruder Theory states that someone broke into the house and murdered Jonbenet Ramsey on that infamous christmas night. There has been enough evidence to support that theory. In 2008 DNA was found to show that it was not anybody from the family. Though many believe that her parents, John and Patsy Ramsey, and brother, Burke Ramsey are responsible for her murder. So many theories, yet none were answered.

Everybody had an opinion on what happened at the Ramsey household on December 25, 1996. Most people believed that the family is responsible for killing JonBenet. Ever since that day, the public has held the Ramsey family under a cloud of suspicion. The family did everything they could do to defend themselves. They believe that an intruder must have done it, but most of the public believes that the family should be held responsible for the killing. The main suspect that police keyed in on was the mother of JonBenet. The reason for the suspicion of the mother was the 911 call made by Patsy Ramsey the day of the murder. In this 911 call, the mother seemed very suspicious. Patsy said “We have a kidnapping” ( McClish). “It seemed like she knew something she was not telling” (McClish 2001).

On Thanksgiving evening, November 27, 1992, Sergeant Kenneth Mathison and his wife Yvonne drive their 1988 tan Ford van along Route 131 in Hilo, Hawaii. The rain is pouring down and before he knows it, Kenneth Mathison is awaiting police assistance as he cradles his wife’s dead body in the back of their van. Mathison, a sergeant of 25 years with the Hilo Police Department was allegedly informing his wife, a maternity nursing professional at the Hilo Medical Center, that he was being investigated in his second paternity suit. According to Mathison, when Yvonne heard the news, she jumped from the passenger side of the van. While he was looking for her in the blinding rain, Mathison purportedly ran over his wife. He then carried the body into the van and secured it with yellow rope in the back before attempting to find help. Will the forensic evidence support Mathison’s account of that fateful evening?
The book Murder in the Bayou: Who Killed the Women Known as the Jeff Davis 8?, written by independent journalist and private investigator Ethan Brown, tells the horrific true story of the bayou town of Jennings, Louisiana located in the heart of the Jefferson Davis parish. During the four year duration between 2005 and 2009, the town of Jennings was on edge after the discovery of the bodies of eight murdered women were found in the filthy canals and swamps. The victims became known as the “Jeff Davis 8.” For years, local law enforcement suspected a serial killer, and solely investigated the murders based on that theory alone. The victims were murdered in varying manors, but when alive they all shared many commonalities and were connected to

Alicia Pereira was the first. In 1972, five-year-old Alicia disappeared after her brother left her alone in a hotel lobby. One minute she was playing around, and the next she was gone. Rand was the prime suspect in this case. Although they never proved Andre killed her, little Alicia was never seen again. There isn't much to his next victim. Her name was Audrey Lyn Nerenberg, and she was 18 years old. Just like Alicia, Audrey was never seen again after the day she went missing in 1977. In 1981, Holly Ann Hughes, a seven-year-old girl did not return home after she went with a friend to get candy from a local store. Andre Rand saw Holly at the store, drove by her in his Volkswagen, pulled her in, and drove off. Holly’s parents filled out a Missing Person’s report. Unfortunately, they never got their daughter back. Why did Rand leave her friend? Who knows why. Tiahease Jackson, in 1983, was 11 years old when she went missing. She did not return home after her mother sent her to get groceries. Tiahease was last seen on August 14th, 1983. This was 12 days after Andre was released from a previous prison sentence. Like Alicia, Audrey, and Holly, Tiahease was never seen again. Henry was his oldest victim, at the age of 22. In 1984, Henry Gafforio disappeared. Some say, Henry was “slow.” Not physically slow, but mentally slow. He was last seen with Rand at a local diner. Now this next
Sue Grafton once stated: “Except for cases that clearly involve a homicidal maniac, the police like to believe murders are committed by those we know and love, and most of the time they're right.” This is clearly the thought the Boulder Colorado police conceived in the case of little beauty queen JonBenet Ramsey. As many have observed from the onslaught of media coverage, the day after Christmas 1996, six year old Jon Benet Ramsey was found buried under a white blanket, bound, beaten, and strangled to death in the wine cellar of their Boulder home. With such a strikingly rare and glamorous story of a six year old beauty queen dead, who was a part of a “perfect American upper-middle class family”, combined with a lack of a lead and ever mounting suspicion piling up against the parents it was no surprise to find that it was fuel to the media and soon stories sold and became a matter of competition between the press. So, like wildfire, this heart-breaking story spread, stretching across the nation, shattering the souls of the world. News broadcasts, magazine and newspaper articles, and television specials all shaped and molded peoples perceptions of this beautiful child’s murder, especially her parents, John and Pasty Ramsey’s involvement or lack there of. The police and FBI’s merciless quest to connect Jon Benet’s murder to her parents, seemed to cause the them to overlook important evidence, or at the very least dismiss suspicious findings that would otherwise send red flags to investigators. There are many contributors as to why this case remains unsolved including lack of investigative expertise, failure to protect valuable evidence, and focusing too much on the parents as suspects but, ultimately, the over involvement of...

On that night in Brentwood, the two murders were committed by a heartless individual who had no remorse for his victims. The scene outside Nicole's apartment was gruesome to say the least. Goldman and Brown Simpson’s blood covered the once cement-colored sidewalk. The investigators found multiple pieces of evidence at the crime scene. Most of the evidence leads directly to O.J. as the perpetrator of the two murders. Detectives collected and examined hair, blood, and small fibers (Linder). Other incriminating evidence at the site included a bloody glove and multiple shoe impressions that match the ones found in O.J. Simpson’s white Ford Bronco
