QUITMAN, Mo. –
The search for a man, who disappeared eight years ago, led investigators to a northwest Missouri farm field this week.

Branson Perry, 20, disappeared in April 2001 from his Skidmore home. He said he was going to put away jumper cables and hasn’t been seen since.

Recently, authorities said they received a credible tip in the case that led them to Quitman.

KMBC’s Peggy Breit reported that investigators started digging a 25-foot hole in the field on Tuesday.

“I know if it was somebody who belonged to me, I’d want them to dig,” said Darrell, who owns the property where authorities were searching.

Authorities stopped the dig on Wednesday afternoon when they did not find anything to advance the case.
