The Mysterious Disappearance of Branson Perry
In this true crime podcast episode, the host Carolina explores the unsolved disappearance of Branson Kayne Perry. The case took place in the small town of Skidmore, Missouri, known for its surprising criminal history despite a small population of about 340 people. Perry, born on February 24, 1981, was missed by his family since April 11th of 2001. Carolina discusses various theories about what could have happened to Perry such as the involvement of his neighbors, two unknown mechanics, or even the notorious convicted criminal Jack Wayne Rogers. The local law enforcement are speculated to have engaged in deep investigation but couldn't draw a conclusion. The case still remains a mystery two decades later. The podcast episode attempts to shed light on some unturned stones in Branson's tragic disappearance.
