Authorities believe they are closer to finding the remains of a missing Skidmore man.

Investigators from the Missouri Highway Patrol and the Nodaway County Sheriff’s Department are in Quitman at this hour.

They say a tip led them to property where they believe Branson Perry’s remains might be buried.

Crews have dug a hole where a vacant house used to be. That’s where they say they found items they believed are linked to Perry’s disappearance.

Perry was last seen leaving his Skidmore home in 2001. His disapperance has gained national attention. His search was featured on America’s Most Wanted, a national cold case tour and billboards throughout the state.

Perry’s mom, Becky Klino, told KQ2 late Tuesday afternoon she has not been contacted regarding the search.
