Family Purchases Headstone for Missing Missouri Man

SKIDMORE, Mo.) More than a decade after the disappearance of a Missouri man, the family and authorities are still looking for answers.

And now, the family has a place to mourn in the disappearance of Branson Perry. Perry’s stepfather, Jim Klino, has purchased a headstone and placed it beside the grave of Perry’s mother.

Perry went missing on April 11, 2001, at his home in Skidmore, Mo.

According to his profile on the CUE Center for Missing Persons website, Perry was cleaning up the house before his father returned from the hospital. Perry went outside to put some jumper cables in a shed, but never returned.

He was officially reported missing on April 17, 2001.

Perry is still classified as a missing person. Circumstances found throughout the investigation has led authorities to suspect foul play.

Becky Klino has passed away-Mother of Branson Perry

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.”

We Will Never Give Up- Missing Branson Kayne Perry

Another Blow in the Branson Perry Case

Mom Continues Searching For Missing Son

A mother continues to push for new leads to find her missing son.

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.

Perry’s face is now posted on two Missouri billboards.

“There’s always the hope — until there’s evidence found that says otherwise — there’s always hope somebody knows where he is,” mother Becky Klino told KMBC’s Chris Nagus. “I don’t know what happened. I don’t know.”

Two years after Perry vanished, there appeared to be a break in the case when the FBI arrested Jack Wayne Rogers, of Fulton. Investigators found messages on Rogers’ computer claiming he had driven to Skidmore and abducted a blond-haired boy.

The lead didn’t pan out; Klino said she believes Rogers was lying and that someone else was involved in her son’s disappearance.

“It’s a small town, but I do believe there are people, maybe not in Skidmore, but in that area that do know the answers,” Klino said.

She said she hopes the billboards can provide some answers.

“If you hear anybody talking — Branson isn’t a common name,” Klino said.

Midland Empire Renews Call to Help Find Missing Man- Branson Perry

Wednesday, Feb 24, 2010
A Skidmore man, missing for almost nine-years would have celebrated his 29th birthday Wednesday.

Now, people looking for Branson Perry, are using the anniversary to renew a call for help.

“You have good days and you have bad days,” is how Becky Klino described the time since her son, Branson Perry, first disappeared from his Skidmore home back 2001.

“Its just you take each day as it comes and you deal with it and you go on,” Klino explained.

Since 2001, the nine year search for Perry has covered a lot of area, yielding few answers.

Billboards have lined highways miles away and the search even gained national attention as a feature on “America’s Most Wanted.”

Branson Perry would have turned 29 Wednesday. The family has a personal memorial planned.

A quick look at the Facebook site dedicated to finding the missing Skidmore man finds dozens of messages of hope and support.

Most recently—last June—investigators dug up a plot of land just east of Quitman, searching for Perry’s body.

They will not say what was found only that it is an on-going investigation.

“Even though a lot of time has passed, we still think its a solvable case,” said Sheldon Lyon of the Missouri Highway Patrol.

Perry was last seen at his home in Skidmore on April 11, 2001.

“You have to remember, whoever may have knowledge of Branson’s whereabouts or his body, or a group of people, it’s hard to keep that quiet for a long period of time,” Lyon added.

A $20,000 reward is offered for information leading to Perry’s whereabouts or the arrest and conviction of those responsible for his disappearance.
