Default Help!! Truck stuck in park, but shifter will still move

My '04 4x4 console shifter is stuck in park, the shifter will pull all the way back, but it is not catching anything. I just shut my truck off and then got back in and this happened, never had any previous symptoms, I am over a 100 miles from home, luckily my wife met me down here (our weekend getaway) and then this happens!! I have pulled the cup holders and stuff out and tried the white button, but the shifter is not stuck, it moves, but the tranny will not come out of park, and I have never had any problems with it before, any ideas???

Sounds like a shift linkage came undone. Check for disconnected stuff. My dad had it happen with an 05
