I saw this on a post (not sure how much is true and proven):
-The jumper cables: when police checked the storage shed, they were not in the shed. In a search 2 weeks later, the cables turned up in the shed
- Authorities got tips that after leaving his home that day, Perry was sighted at a particular house a mile east of Quitman, Missouri, a house known at the time as a popular place to buy drugs. This house was destroyed by fire less than a week after Perry’s disappearance, before he was reported missing.
-The police announced that two individuals were being questioned about Perry’s disappearance and they both identified a particular spot in the rural Quitman area where they claimed his remains were. Police dug up the location and didn’t find Branson’s body, but they did find that the earth was disturbed and that something had definitely been buried there sometime prior
-Jena Crawford is the friend who was with him that day and she told police they had used methamphetamines in the hours before he disappeared
