According to statements made by the men repairing Bob Perry's car, they never saw Branson leave the house and left after finishing the job. Branson's friend also left when he failed to return. Bob passed away in March 2004, and Rebecca is not clear on who asked the two men to fix the car. Police gave several people lie detector tests; however, they have not commented on the results.

The investigation quickly came to a standstill. Branson's mother was beginning to lose hope. But then, in April 2003, the arrest of 58-year-old Jack Wayne Rogers, a former Presbyterian minister and Boy Scout leader from Fulton, Missouri, caught everyone's attention.
Perry states, "Rogers had been a minister in a Fulton church, about 150 miles away from Skidmore. The police came across him because of a chat log from another man arrested for child porn. The chat log suggested that Rogers might have something to do with Branson's disappearance."

On March 22, 2003, the FBI arrested 26-year-old Michael Adam Davidson, a University of South Alabama medical student, during an Internet child pornography sting known as "Operation Candyman." According to the original arrest warrant, Davidson received and transmitted child pornography over the Internet. When authorities searched Davidson's computer, they found an interesting chat log between Davidson and Rogers. The log was dated February 21, 2002. Davidson used the screen name "MickPower2134," and Rogers used the screen name "Buggerbutt."
