Brandon Perry, 35, of Indianapolis was last seen on May 26, 2024. His sister reported him missing three days later after he missed work and had no contact with family. Perry’s trailer was found abandoned about three miles from his last known location, and his truck was located two days after that with no sign of him.

Investigators found substantial blood on the bottom of Perry’s mattress and more blood on the basement stairs. A makeshift burn pit outside the home held Perry’s charred driver’s license and credit cards; one of the family trash cans was missing. Police say surveillance footage showed a male resembling Perry’s 17-year-old son, David Perry, abandoning the truck, and that David had not reported his father missing. Cell phone data, text messages allegedly referencing a conflict, purchases made the day Perry disappeared, and the discovery of the father’s handgun in a new gun safe inside David’s car led to David’s arrest on June 1 and charges of murder and dangerous possession of a firearm.

Perry’s body has not been recovered; search efforts, including diving operations on the White River, are ongoing. If anyone knew Brandon’s movements on or after May 26, or saw relevant activity near his home or the river, please come forward with information.
