Volunteers from North Carolina traveled to Nodaway County to assist local authorities in the continuing search for local missing man Branson Perry this weekend.
The group included the Community United Effort (CUE) Center for Missing Persons of Wilmington, N.C., Sgt. Sheldon Lyon with the Missouri State Highway Patrol said.
“An area was looked at with the help of a group from North Carolina that specializes with search dogs,” Lyon said. “These dogs searched an area in western Nodaway County.”
Beyond that however, the Missouri State Highway Patrol doesn’t disclose the details of ongoing investigations, Lyon said.
Branson Perry went missing from his father’s home in Skidmore on April 11, 2001. Twenty years old at the time, Perry was cleaning the house with a friend when he took some jumper cables to his father’s shed. He hasn’t been seen since.
Neither the Missouri State Highway Patrol or Nodaway County Sheriff’s Department have been able to close the case.
“This is really unfortunate situation. A young man has been missing for so long. His family just has no closure on this at all,” Nodaway County Sheriff Darren White said. “The really sad part about it is, is as time passes it just becomes more and more difficult to resolve it.
“Here we are, all these years later, still searching.”
Anyone with any information is encouraged to call the Missouri State Highway Patrol at (816) 387-2345

Since then, Perry’s case has gained national attention. America’s Most Wanted featured his search in 2007. His face continues to dot billboards throughout the state and even appears on a deck of playing cards in an attempt to find clues to his whereabouts.

I hope with our continued efforts we will be able to provide this family with some sort of resolution, that is what we truly hope for”, said Monica Caison, founder of CUE (Community United Effort) Center for Missing Persons.
