It's been six years today since Branson Perry, then 20, disappeared near Skidmore, Mo. He took a break from cleaning his house to take jumper cables to some people working on his Dad's vehicle. Nobody has seen him since.
At one point, police investigated a man convicted of child pornography now doing time in South Carolina, but nobody has been charged in Perry's disappearance. (My colleague, Mark Morris, wrote about Perry last year. His story is here, as a Rich Text file.)
KMBC's Jim Flink had a good interview with Perry's mother. I found two sites dedicated to his case, plus a press release about his disappearance. It quotes Perry's mother:
"I don’t want anyone to forget my son. It has been so long since he disappeared that I have to get the information out again. I believe if there is a constant reminder there again, that perhaps someone will come forward."
Police are still working on the case. They ask anybody with information to call the Nodaway Sheriff's Department at (660) 582-7451 or the Missouri Highway Patrol at
(816) 387-2345. A $10,000 reward is being offered.
