The search for a missing Skidmore man marks its seventh anniversary.
Branson Perry’s family continues its effort to find him at all costs.
His face has become familiar to folks in the Midland Empire. From billboards to websites, the search for Branson Perry hasn’t stalled the past seven years.
Branson was last seen at his Skidmore home in 2001. His mother says he took a pair of jumper cables to a shed next to his house and was never seen again, but the cables mysteriously reappeared two weeks after an investigation began.
The search for Branson is still an open case. Sgt. Sheldon Lyon, with the Missouri State Hwy. Patrol says troopers feel Branson’s case is solvable.
Branson is 27 years old this year. A $10,000 reward is out for information that can help find him. His family will hold a fundraiser to try to increase that amount Saturday in Skidmore. The Highway Patrol will also be on-hand to make free child identification cards.
