OUR BROTHER, BILL HAS BEEN MISSING FOR 34 YEARS TODAY. HE DISAPPEARED WITHOUT A TRACE IN 1981.

NUMEROUS PRIVATE INVESTIGATORS FOUND NO CONCLUSIVE INFORMATION RELATIVE TO BILL’S DISAPPEARANCE OR THAT OF HIS CAR, WHICH ALSO HAS NEVER BEEN FOUND.

INITIALLY REPORTED TO THE ROSELLE PARK (NJ) POLICE DEPARTMENT (RPPD), OUR FAMILY BECAME AWARE ONLY AFTER THE FACT THAT THE RPPD DELAYED FOR A WEEK OR MORE BEFORE HIS DISAPPEARANCE WAS FORMALLY REPORTED TO THE FBI. MOREOVER, THE DETECTIVE INTIALLY IN CHARGE BRANDED BILL WITH HIGHLY DEROGATORY NAMES NO MOTHER SHOULD EVER HAVE TO HEAR ABOUT HER CHILD. AFTER MANY YEARS. AND VERY LITTLE INVESTIGATION, THE CHIEF OF THE ROSELLE PARK PD AGREED TO MEET WITH A WORLD RENOWNED FORENSIC PSYCHOLOGIST RETAINED, OF COURSE, BY OUR FAMILY, WHO IS ONE OF THE ORIGINAL FOUNDERS OF THE VIDOCQ SOCIETY. AFTER SEVERAL SCHEDULED MEETINGS WERE CANCELLED BY THE CHIEF, HE INFORMED US THAT HIS DEPARTMENT WAS REALLY NOT EQUIPPED AND STAFFED TO MEET WITH THIS FORENSIC PSYCHOLOGIST AND HANDLE OUR BROTHER’S CASE/INVESTIGATION. THIS - AFTER 19 YEARS. AT THAT POINT, OUR FAMILY INSISTED THAT THE ENTIRE ‘INVESTIGATION’ BE TURNED OVER TO THE NEW JERSEY STATE POLICE MISSING PERSONS UNIT (NJSPMPU).

THIS WAS ACCOMPLISHED APPROXIMATELY 15 YEARS AGO. THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW SPURTS OF ACTIVE INVESTIGATION MOSTLY PROMPTED BY OUR FAMILY. AT OUR FIRST MEETING WITH THE THEN HEAD OF THE NJSP MISSING PERSONS UNIT WE WERE ADVISED  - AFTER ALL THESE YEARS – THAT BILL DID NOT FIT THE REQUIREMENTS FOR ‘AN ENDANGERED MISSING PERSON’, AND THUS HE SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN ENTERED IN THE NIC/NCIC DATA BASE MAINTAINED BY THE FBI. UPON CHECKING WITH THE FBI WE FOUND THIS NOT THE CASE. ONE THING THAT HAS BEEN MADE EMINENTLY AND PAINFULLY CLEAR TO OUR FAMILY IS THAT AN ADULT MALE IS VIEWED BY THE POLICE AS ‘TAKING OFF’, ‘OUT ON A BENDER’, ETC. THEY DO NOT TAKE THESE CASES AS SERIOUSLY AS THEY SHOULD.

THE SUPERINTENDENT OF THE NJSP HAS REFUSED ALL THESE YEARS TO MEET WITH OUR FAMILY. THE NJSPMPU HAS REFUSED TO MEET WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED FORENSIC PSYCHOLOGIST, WITHOUT REASON. PERHAPS, IT IS BECAUSE HE WAS ONE OF A TEAM THAT SOLVED THE INFAMOUS LIST FAMILY MURDERS IN NJ!! AND THEY WERE EMBARASSED. THEY SHOULD BE, BUT THEY SHOULD ALSO BE PROFESSIONAL ENOUGH TO DO THEIR JOBS.

OUR FAMILY HAS CONSISTENTLY REQUESTED REPORTS AND INFORMATION ABOUT WHATEVER THE NJSPMPU IS DOING AND COPIES OF BILL’S FILES. WE ARE ADVISED THAT BILL’S CASE IS AN ACTIVE INVESTIGATION AND THAT THEY CANNOT PROVIDE US WITH INFORMATION WITHOUT JEOPARDIZING THE ‘INVESTIGATION’ FOR NUMEROUS REASONS THE MOST RIDICULOUS OF WHICH IS THAT ALL FAMILY MEMBERS ARE VIEWED AS POTENTIAL SUSPECTS (‘PERSONS OF INTEREST’ IN TODAY’S POLICE PARLANCE). OUR ENTIRE FAMILY ASKED TO BE INTERVIEWED (CAN YOU BELIEVE 34 YEARS AFTER A MAN AND HIS CAR DISAPPEAR NOT ONE OF BILL’S 9 BROTHERS AND SISTERS HAVE BEEN INTERVIEWED BY ANY POLICE IN CONNECTION WITH THIS CASE??), TO BE THE SUBJECT OF LIE DETECTOR TESTS, TO WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL AND THE RELATED DEFENSE IF, IN FACT, ANY OF US WERE CHARGED (THIS IS HOW SURE WE ARE) BUT THIS WAS ALL TO NO AVAIL.

LET US CLARIFY ONE POINT IN THE PRECEDING PARAGRAPH. WITHIN THE LAST 10 YEARS, 5 OF BILL’S BROTHERS MADE A TRIP TO ROSELLE PARK AND NEARBY TOWNS TRACING WHERE BILL WAS ON HIS ‘LAST’ NIGHT. WE HAD VISITED KENILWORTH, LINDEN AND ROSELLE AND THEN MADE OUR WAY TO ROSELLE PARK. WE WERE PULLED OVER BY TWO RPPD POLICE CRUISERS AND TWO OFFICERS APPROACHED OUR VEHICLE WITH HANDS ON THEIR WEAPONS. WE INQUIRED AS TO WHY WE WERE BEING PULLED OVER AND THEY STATED THAT THERE HAD BEEN COMPLAINTS AND WE WERE ACTING SUSPICIOUSLY – THAT IS PROBABLY TRUE BECAUSE WE DID CHECK OUT SOME GROUNDS NEAR BILL’S APARTMENT IN ROSELLE PARK, AND TRIED TO ASCERTAIN WHETHER OR NOT A BODY COULD HAVE BEEN DUMPED OR BURIED IN THE CRAWL SPACE UNDER HIS BUILDING.

TO THE BEST OF OUR KNOWLEDGE THIS MAKES THE FIRST TIME IN BILL’S ‘INVESTIGATION’ WHEN SOMEONE WAS ACTUALLY STOPPED AND QUESTIONED – AND THEY WERE 5 OF BILL’S BROTHERS. WE WERE ADVISED BY THE CHIEF OF THE RPPD THAT THIS WAS STILL AN ACTIVE INVESTGATION AND WE COULDNOT DO AN INVESTIGATION ON OUR OWN.

WE DO WANT YOU TO KNOW THERE HAVE BEEN SOME TRULY WONDERFUL OFFICERS, TROOPERS AND DETECTIVES INVOLVED IN TRYING TO FIND BILL. HOWEVER, THEIR NUMBERS CAN BE COUNTED ON ONE HAND AS FAR AS THIS FAMILY KNOWS. CANDIDLY, THE MISSING PERSONS DEPARTMENT AT THE NJSP IS LIKE A REVOLVING DOOR. A DETECTIVE GETS THE CASE, MAYBE HAS A CHANCE TO READ THE FILE, AND DO A LITTLE, AND THEN HE/SHE IS SENT TO ANOTHER UNIT.

ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO, THE FAMILY WENT THROUGH EXHAUSTIVE MEASURES AND SECURED APPROVAL FOR A SEARCH IN AND AROUND THE LINDEN PD FIRING RANGE. WE INVITED THE NJSP AND ITS MISSING PERSONS UNIT MEMBERS, THE ROSELLE PARK POLICE DEPARTMENT AND THE LINDEN POLICE DEPARTMENT TO BE IN ATTENDANCE AND TO HELP US SEARCH. ONLY OFFICERS FROM THE LINDEN PD WERE THERE. THEIR HELP, AND THE RESULTANT FORENSIC ANALYSIS OF SOME BONES, WAS EXPEDITIOUS AND PROFESSIONAL.

THE LACK OF PARTICIPATION BY THE NJSP AND THE NJSPMPU AND THE RPPD WAS JUST PAR FOR THE COURSE AS TO THE WAY OUR BROTHER, A HIGHLY DECORATED VETERAN OF THE VIETNAM WAR IN WHICH HE FLEW HELICOPTERS ON ALL KINDS OF MISSIONS, HAS BEEN TREATED.

SO IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO HELP US  AND FEEL LIKE REALLY SUPPORTING OUR TROOPS, PLEASE CALL THE SUPERINTENDENT OF THE NEW JERSEY STATE POLICE ( Col. Rick Fuentes 609-882-2000)             AND THE CHIEF OF THE ROSELLE PARK POLICE DEPARTMENT ( Paul Morrison 908-245-2300), OR IF YOU RESIDE IN NEW JERSEY, CONTACT YOUR LOCAL AND FEDERAL REPRESENTATIVES AND SENATORS AND ASK THEM TO HELP, OR CONTACT GOVENOR, CHRIS CHRISTIE AT (609-292-6000).

THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN BILL’S CASE, AND PLEASE COMMENT WITH ANY SUGGESTIONS.

REWARD

WILLIAM J. JAMISON

MISSING IN AMERICA

SINCE MARCH 26-27, 1981

The family of Bill Jamison (William J. Jamison) is offering a REWARD of $100,000. for definitive and conclusive information as to the whereabouts of our brother, Bill, who disappeared the night of March 26-27, 1981. He was last seen in the Chez Lounge at the Linden Lanes Bowling Alley in Linden, NJ as well as the St. George Diner, also in Linden. Bill resided in Roselle Park, NJ and worked at Haug Die Casting in Kenilworth, NJ.

Additionally, the family is offering a smaller REWARD (no less than $10,000. depending on what is recovered) for definitive and conclusive information as to the car Bill was driving the night he disappeared. That car was a 1981 Ford LTD Station Wagon, Midnight Blue with a stripe on sides, and its rear supports were modified to carry heavy loads, NJ Plate 861-PKY.

If you have any information about Bill or the car, please contact Lon Jamison at lonjamison@gmail.com. Thank you.

33 Years Later

Bill: Here it is March 27, 2014; thirty-three long years ago that you disappeared without a trace from our lives. Our memories of you are all fixed as if you were the same looking 33 year old that we remember. But, if you are alive, of course, you are not; you are 66 years old. We keep hoping and praying that you are, in fact, alive; that you have found happiness and love and perhaps have a wife and children. Nothing would make us all happier, especially since we are sliding down the back side of the mountain awfully fast, then to see you walk through the door with that quirky, smirky, smile and raising a can of Miller’s Lite, puffing on a Marlboro, jutting out that Buddha Belly, and dragging along your entourage.

Perhaps, that is never to be; perhaps, that night or early morning in New Jersey you met fate, and the end of your life. But that is what we do not know, and for 33 years we have NOT known. It is the ‘NOT KNOWING’ that is so unbearable – so gnawing. To think of the thousands and thousands of parents and siblings of MISSING CHILDREN and ADULTS, and all those MISSING IN ACTION in all the wars, and the millions of families who never find CLOSURE is heartbreaking, and we are in that group.

Oft times we think of THE HOLY FAMILY: Jesus, Mary and Joseph. Joseph died sometime before Jesus, and our father died shortly before you disappeared; Jesus died an horrific death at the age of 33; you either died or disappeared at the age of 33; and Jesus’ Mother, Mary lived for a time after Christ’s death, and your mother and ours lived for 21 years after you disappeared suffering every day with the doubts about what had happened to you. Maybe, it is right and just that THE HOLY FAMILY had closure – they knew that Christ died, rose from the dead and ascended into heaven.

Why cannot our family and all the others have the same closure, bringing to end the suffering, the doubt, the pain and anguish?? We pray that THE HOLY FAMILY hears our prayers and brings us peace and comfort and healing soon. May God’s will be done. We ask all who read these words to share in our prayers, and also to continue to share with your relatives and friends our mission to FIND BILL through these various Social Media.

With love always, Your Family

Bill Jamison

Mar. 27, 2013

On Mar. 26-27, 1981, 32 years ago, our brother, William J. Jamison disappeared along with his company car. Bill lived in Roselle Park and Strathmere, NJ, worked in Kenilworth, NJ and was last seen from the best we have been able to ascertain in Linden, NJ. Whatever efforts may have been made by the Roselle Park Police Department, the Union County Sheriff’s Office and the New Jersey State Police have proved futile to date. The FBI refused to become involved.

All efforts by the family to have Law Enforcement work with the Forensic Psychologist who worked to solve the John List (NJ Murderer of his entire family) Case, and many others, have also proved futile as Law Enforcement has refused to investigate his conclusions.

Bill is one of the many, many Americans who are THE MISSING IN AMERICA.

We respectfully request your help by sharing this information with as many people as you can. We need your help.

The family is offering a substantial REWARD for definitive and conclusive information as to the whereabouts of Bill Jamison, and a lesser, but significant, REWARD for definitive and conclusive information as to the whereabouts of his Company Car,

If you have such information, please contact Lon Jamison at:

Thank you,

MISSING IN AMERICA

MISSING IN AMERICA

WILLIAM J. JAMISON

MISSING SINCE MAR. 26-27, 1981

Today, March 27, 2012 marks the 31^st anniversary of our brother, Bill’s, disappearance from the Roselle Park, Kenilworth, and Linden, New Jersey area – near the cities of Elizabeth and Newark.

31 years ago there was no indication of what happened to Bill or the company car, which he drove.

Today – 31 years later - there is still no information as to his whereabouts or that of his car.

We are asking all of you to help us in our quest to find Bill. Information and photos are on his web site: www.williamjamison.com; his Facebook page: William J. Jamison; and his blog: www.williamjamison.blogspot.com. We ask each of you to share this information with your friends, acquaintances, relatives, etc. and ask them to share it also.

Bill was 34 when he disappeared, and would turn 65 on his next birthday – for almost half of his life (if he is alive), he has been among THE MISSING IN AMERICA. It is staggering how many people are missing in this country. It is even more staggering that Law Enforcement does little to help. Just look back at the Jaycee Duggard and Elizabeth Smart cases. Law Enforcement is content to wait for a DNA match – if it ever happens. We have been told recently by the agency having jurisdiction – The New Jersey State Police Missing Persons Unit – that if we uncover any information to let them know.

So we feel not only is Bill’s case a Cold Case, not only is it Frigid, it has been Abandoned by those charged to look for Missing Persons – yes, they are overwhelmed and have no leads; yet, they refuse to meet with his family; to meet with a forensic psychologist retained by the family, who was part of the team responsible for the capture of the infamous NJ mass murderer, John List; to divulge records in Bill’s case because allegedly this is an Active Investigation; nor do they communicate with Bill’s family on a regular basis; and they consistently refuse our offers to help them in research of files, etc.

YOUR HELP IS REALLY NEEDED BECAUSE WE ARE ON OUR OWN.

Any questions can be directed to Lon Jamison at lonjamison@verizon.net or at 401-295-4416

Thank you.

The Jamison Family

Merry Christmas!

Bill: On Dec. 25, 1981 our family celebrated our very first Christmas without you, and without knowing where you were. It would be unbelievable – if not so tragic – to have thought then that 30 years later, this Dec. 25, 2011, we still would not know your whereabouts or what happened to you.

All your family misses you and wishes you a Merry Christmas 2011 and we pray that by this time next year we will have found you – God willing.

May God continue to bless and care for you wherever you are.

Love, Your Family

"Six Degrees of the Bracelet: Vietnam's Continuing Grip"

The Siegfried Family like many of ours settled in Glenside, Pennsylvania, outside of Philadelphia, and we all grew up knowing and going to school with each other.

John Siegfried's first book "Six Degrees of the Bracelet: Vietnam's Continuing Grip" has an official publication date of 11-11-11 - Veterans Day. John was nice enough to include a Chapter dedicated to our brother, Bill Jamison, and about the five Jamison brothers who served during that era.

I have read many parts of the book over the last year - it is compelling, sad, patriotic, strong, introspective, heart warming and heart wrenching all at the same time. It is a real tribute to the men and women who served in Vietnam, and in many cases provides their first hand accounts of the War and its impact on our country and them as individuals.

I highly recommend it.

You can secure copies through:

www.johnsiegfried.com; (contact John directly if you would like signed copies) www.amazon.com; or www.xlibris.com

The book comes in hardcover ($29.95). Soft cover ($19.95) or E-book s for $3.99.

On Mon., Oct. 3rd John will be at The Glenside Pub for a book signing from 7-9 PM. I hope as many of us as possible will make it, and also buy this book. You will note many other events on John's web site, including other signings in the Glenside area.

Thank you, Lon
