Rogers denies having anything to do with Branson's disappearance and claims that the chat he had with Davidson was a fictional fantasy. For his other crimes, Rogers was sentenced to 30 years in prison. Davidson was eventually sentenced to federal prison for possession of child pornography.

"I just think that somebody or several somebody's are keeping things secret that need to come out in the light," Rebecca Perry states. "Skidmore residents are notorious for keeping their mouths shut. Skidmore is the town where they had a vigilante shooting in broad daylight, and nobody saw a thing then, either. That is Skidmore, unfortunately."

The shooting Perry refers to involved "Skidmore bully" Ken McElroy. For many years, McElroy terrorized the town, until 1981 when residents took the law into their own hands and gunned him down in broad daylight. Despite multiple witnesses, no one ever came forward to say what happened.

It is also interesting to note that two of Branson's relatives have been the subjects of national media attention in recent years. In 2000, his cousin Wendy Gillenwater was stomped to death by her boyfriend, and in 2004 Lisa Montgomery was accused of strangling Bobbi Jo Stinnett, another of Branson's cousins and cutting her fetus out of her womb.
A spokesperson for the Nodaway County Sheriff's Department states that the investigation into Branson's disappearance is ongoing and that new leads pour in every few months. Calls to the Missouri Highway Patrol were not immediately returned.
