It was Becky Klino’s dying wish to find her missing son.
“We would have liked nothing more than to have found him before the passing of his mother,” said Sheldon Lyon with Missouri State Highway Patrol.
Perry’s mother, Becky Klino, passed away Monday after a long battle with cancer.
Klino was actively involved in the search from her son, since he first went missing in April 2001.
Now, those close to the case are pushing forward. Many are more determined than ever to find answers in Perry’s disappearance.
“There is a steady flow of information,” said Monica Caison, with CUE Center for Missing Persons. “I feel like we are going to get a resolution. I don’t know why some cases take so long.”
Billboards with Perry’s face are surfacing again along the Belt Highway in St. Joseph. Nationally Perry’s name continues to circulate as well. He is featured on “America’s Most Wanted” and has his own Facebook page.
“We are keeping his information and his face out there,” said Caison. “It is working, but we hope we get that one call.”
Law enforcement feels leads are more valuable than ever in the case and tips continue to come in.
“We do get information even though it’s quite old,” said Lyon. “Then we act on it.”
The case remains active, but all tips have lead to dead ends.
Those involved still hope to find what they’ve been waiting for for nearly a decade.
“I know there is someone out there that is sitting on the fence,” said Caison. “I just want them to know they can remain anonymous.”
“Will we close the case because we can’t find Branson?” Lyon said. “No. We will keep looking.”
