This week marks the 18th anniversary of the disappearance of Skidmore, Missouri resident Branson Perry. Perry was 20 years old at the time of his disappearance. Nodaway County Sheriff Randy Strong says his department has begun another push in trying to solve the case. Strong says they have a few leads from previous investigations.

"It appears to be drug related.  There are certain individuals whose names keep popping up in it.  I think it's time that we put all this together and come up with what we can and present it to the prosecutor for them to look at and decide.  Can we go forward if we don't find a body or do we continue to look?   And those are some tough decisions that we're going to have to make."

Strong says he feels there are people in the area that have direct knowledge of Perry's disappearance.

"I think that we're pretty familiar with who the individuals are that are responsible.  That there are some other individuals that probably have information that could come forward and help us bring this case back to life."

 Strong urges anyone with knowledge of Branson Perry's disappearance on April 11th, 2001 to contact the Nodaway County Sheriff's Department.
