Branson Kayne Perry (born February 24, 1981; disappeared April 11, 2001) was an American missing person who vanished under mysterious circumstances from his residence at 304 West Oak Street in Skidmore, Missouri. His disappearance received national media coverage and was profiled extensively by journalist and crime writer Diane Fanning in a book concerning Perry's relative Bobbie Jo Stinnett, who was murdered and had her unborn child stolen in 2004.

Timeline

Perry disappeared on the afternoon of April 11, 2001, after walking out of his house, having told a visiting friend that he was returning a pair of jumper cables to an exterior shed. This was the last time he was seen. After several years of investigation, police arrested Jack Wayne Rogers of Fulton, Missouri, on various charges unrelated to Perry's disappearance. In their investigation, they recovered message board posts made from Rogers's home computer that described a first-hand account of Perry's rape and murder. Rogers denied any involvement, and was sentenced to thirty years in prison on the unrelated charges in 2004.

Background

Branson Kayne Perry was born February 24, 1981, and raised in Skidmore, Missouri. He graduated from Nodaway-Holt High School in 1999. After graduating, he worked odd jobs, including work as a roofer and helping maintain a traveling petting zoo in the area.Шаблон:Sfn Perry resided with his father, Bob Perry, at 304 West Oak Street in Skidmore;[1] his parents were recently divorced.[1][2] Perry suffered from tachycardia, a condition that made his heart race excessively.Шаблон:Sfn He was a black belt in hapkido.[1]

On April 7, 2001, Perry visited the home of his neighbor Jason Biermann and was inadvertently drugged.Шаблон:Sfn While intoxicated, he allegedly danced around the house nude, shaved his pubic hair, and then engaged in sex with Biermann.Шаблон:Sfn After the incident, Perry confessed it to his father and was upset as he felt he had been taken advantage of.Шаблон:Sfn Perry's father, Bob, said he knew that his son was homosexual and suspected he had had encounters with men in the past, and was angry with Biermann for "drugging and then using his son."Шаблон:Sfn

Disappearance

On a Wednesday afternoon of April 11, 2001,[3][4] Perry invited his friend Jena over to his house to help clean the residence as his father, Bob Perry, who had recently been hospitalized, was due to return home.Шаблон:Sfn At this same time, two other unnamed men were outside the residence working on Bob's car, which needed a new alternator.[1] At approximately 3:00 p.m., Perry told Jena he was going to take a pair of jumper cables outside to a shed adjacent to the house.Шаблон:Sfn This was the last time he was seen.Шаблон:Sfn

Investigation

On April 12, Perry's grandmother, Jo Ann, stopped by his home and found the house unlocked and deserted.Шаблон:Sfn She found this unusual and called the residence periodically over the next several days, but got no answer.Шаблон:Sfn Upon calling Perry's mother, Rebecca Klino, she found she had not spoken to him either.Шаблон:Sfn Bob was discharged from the hospital several days later than planned and, after his release, he and Klino filed a missing person report on April 17.Шаблон:Sfn Ground search parties were organized by Nodaway County police within a Шаблон:Convert radius of the Perry residence.Шаблон:Sfn Numerous fields, farms, and abandoned buildings were searched, but the efforts proved fruitless.Шаблон:Sfn During a search of the property, police were unable to locate the jumper cables Perry had purportedly left to return in the shed; two weeks later, however, they were found just inside the door.[1]

Over the following month and a half, over one hundred people were interviewed in Perry's disappearance.Шаблон:Sfn Jena, who had been at Perry's home the day of the disappearance, admitted to law enforcement that he had recently been experimenting with marijuana and amphetamines.Шаблон:Sfn A family member also informed police that Perry had a bottle of Valium in his possession the day he disappeared.Шаблон:Sfn Law enforcement questioned drug acquaintances of Perry's in St. Joseph, but all stated they had not seen him and each passed polygraph examinations.Шаблон:Sfn Further investigation into the local drug trade was undertaken, but no discernible leads were uncovered despite rumors that Perry owed drug dealers money.Шаблон:Sfn Bob initially suspected that his son had left to stay with friends in Kansas City.Шаблон:Sfn Because Perry did not have a working car at the time, Bob presumed he may have hitchhiked.Шаблон:Sfn

Jack Wayne Rogers

On April 10, 2003, law enforcement arrested Jack Wayne Rogers, a 59-year-old Presbyterian minister[5] and Boy Scout leader.Шаблон:Sfn Rogers was arrested on charges of first-degree assault and practicing medicine without a license after removing a trans woman's genitals in a makeshift gender reassignment surgery at a hotel in Columbia.[6]

While investigating Rogers's personal belongings, detectives discovered child pornography on his computer,Шаблон:Sfn as well as evidence of various posts made on message boards under the usernames "BuggerButt," "ohailsatan," and "extremebodymods," describing the graphic torture and assault of multiple men.Шаблон:Sfn In the posts, Rogers also discussed cannibalizing the genitals of men he had castrated.Шаблон:Sfn Among these posts was a firsthand account of Rogers' picking up a blond male hitchhiker, then raping, torturing, mutilating, and murdering him.Шаблон:Sfn In the online post, it was claimed that the man's body was buried in a remote area of the Ozarks.[7] Despite this, Rogers denied ever seeing Perry or knowing him,Шаблон:Sfn and asserted that the post made was fabricated and purely fantasy; law enforcement, however, suspected the man in question was Perry.Шаблон:Sfn While performing a subsequent search of Rogers' property, a turtle claw necklace resembling one owned by Perry was discovered in one of his vehicles.Шаблон:Sfn

In April 2004,[8] Rogers was convicted and sentenced to seventeen years in prison for assault and seven years for performing illegal surgery, as well as thirty years for child pornography charges, which would run concurrent with the former two charges.[6] At his sentencing, Perry's mother begged for Rogers to reveal his whereabouts, but Rogers denied being involved in the disappearance.Шаблон:Sfn[9] His earliest release date is October 30, 2028, when he will be 83 years old. After attending the sentencing, Perry's mother stated she no longer felt Rogers was responsible for her son's disappearance: Шаблон:Quote

Subsequent developments

Perry's father died in 2004.[10] In June 2009, law enforcement revealed they were completing an excavation of a site in Quitman, Missouri, after receiving a "credible tip" that Perry's remains may have been located there.[11] Over a period of two days, excavators dug a Шаблон:Convert-deep hole that covered an area of around Шаблон:Convert by Шаблон:Convert.[11] At the time, another local farmer who resided Шаблон:Convert east of Quitman stated that law enforcement had searched his property several years prior searching for an abandoned well, but the search yielded no results.[11] In 2010, Klino offered a $20,000 reward for information leading to her son's whereabouts.[2]

In February 2011, Klino died after a years-long battle with melanoma.[10] Jo Ann Stinnett, Perry's grandmother, said at the time of Klino's death: "Around town, we searched every oil well, every outside toilet. We searched everywhere that was possible for us to think that something could be there."[10] Monica Caison, the founder of the CUE Center for Missing Persons and a friend of Klino, stated that she and other close friends has "promised her they would continue to look for her son."[10] In her obituary, it was noted that Klino was "preceded in death" by Perry,[12] and she was buried beside an empty plot for Perry that lists his date of death as April 11, 2001, the same day he disappeared.[7]

On August 14, 2022, the current Nodaway County Sheriff, Randy Strong, announced a suspect had been identified, but more evidence was needed before an arrest could be made.[13]

Publicity

Perry's disappearance was profiled extensively in a chapter of Diane Fanning's 2006 book Baby Be Mine, which focused on the murder of his cousin, Bobbie Jo Stinnett, in 2004.Шаблон:Sfn The case also received coverage in a July 17, 2010, episode of the Fox television program America's Most Wanted[2] and in the Sundance Channel series No One Saw a Thing in 2019.
