National group joins search for missing family

EUFAULA, Okla. ( — EUFAULA, Okla. (AP) — A national group that helps look for missing children is joining the search for a missing family from the Eufaula area.



Six-year-old Madyson Jamison, her father Bobby and mother Sherilynn have been missing since Oct. 7.



Latimer County Sheriff Israel Beauchamp says the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children is offering its help. The center has placed Madyson Jamison's photo and information about her on its Web site.



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 family's pickup truck was found Oct. 17 after hunters reported it had been sitting by the side of the road for some time with a small dog inside. A large amount of cash was found inside the truck.
