Mystery in Skidmore: The Haunting Disappearance of Branson Perry

Gone in a Blink

What if a small town held more mysteries than it could ever reveal? In this gripping episode, we unravel the haunting disappearance of Branson Perry, a 20-year-old who vanished without a trace from his front yard in Skidmore, Missouri. We get to know Branson through the eyes of his friend, Jenna Crawford, who offers an unsettling account of the day he went missing. From his hobbies and health struggles to the disturbing incident with his neighbor, Jason Bierman, Branson's story is as perplexing as it is tragic.
But the shadows of Skidmore don't end with Branson. We explore the interconnected tragedies that have plagued this tiny town, focusing on the gruesome murder of Bobby Joe Stinnett and the tragic death of Wendy Gillenwater. Both women were connected through their grandmother, Mary Jo Stinnett, amplifying the collective grief experienced by their family. We also delve into the controversial figure of Rogers, a suspect in Branson's case whose online confessions and the steadfast belief of Branson's mother create a complex web of suspicion and doubt.
Skidmore's notorious reputation for violence is not a recent phenomenon. We take you through a macabre history, from the 1910 Hubble family murders to the 1981 vigilante killing of Ken Rex McElroy, and beyond. Through a series of chilling events—including the Merrigan family massacre, Tessie Hilt's unsolved murder, and the monastery shooting by Lloyd Robert Jeffress—we expose how this small town has become synonymous with tragedy. As we close, we invite you to support the podcast, share your thoughts, and suggest future cases, reminding everyone to stay vigilant.
