At the time of his disappearance, Perry lived with his father. His parents are divorced. His father was hospitalized on the day Perry disappeared, but due to come home shortly. Perry had wanted to make the sure the house was cleaned up before his father’s return, and had asked a friend to help him with that.

If you don’t know what exactly happened, but you’ve heard something, or part of something, you don’t know if that could be the key. “Until you walk in my shoes, and I would never wish this upon anyone, you will never know what it feels like. I don’t care if you’re scared. I understand and respect that fear. Please understand where I’m coming from.” ~Becky Klino~ mother of missing Branson Perry
