About this Case:

Sperry was last seen in Colorado Springs, Colorado on November 15, 1987. She was last seen driving a gray and white Pontiac Grand Am. In the summer of 2005, a Colorado Springs detective called the Sperry family and said Robert Charles Browne had confessed to strangling Rocio Sperry in 1987. According to Browne, Sperry walked to a Kwik Stop on Murray Boulevard in Colorado Springs where he worked. She told Browne that her husband had taken her daughter on a trip to Florida to visit family. At this time, Browne persuaded her to go to the movies with him. Browne admitted he strangled Rocio Sperry with his hands and put her body in a trash bin. When Sperry's husband returned from his six-day trip, he reported his wife missing. The car she had been driving was missing, and their new television set was gone as well, and there was evidence of blood and broken glass in the apartment. Her husband found the car a week later, but Rocio was not with it. The car had been driven over 300 miles during the time he was away. Originally, authorities believed Rocio had left her husband unexpectedly and didn't make a report. Browne, who already was serving a life sentence for other murders, confessed in 2006 to Rocio Sperry's murder. He also claims responsibility for the death of 47 other people across the United States. However, Rocio Sperry's body has never been found and she remains a missing person. Anyone with information about this case is asked to please contact the Colorado Spring Police Department.
