Holly Bobo Family Opens Up On OpenLine

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - It will soon be four months since anyone has seen Holly Bobo alive. Her family is desperate to keep her case, and her face, out there in the public.

"I'm just doing what any loving parent would do and that is pleading and begging for anyone to come in and help," said Karen Bobo, Holly Bobo's mother.

Mrs. Bobo also revealed she had just recently even written the president for help in finding her 20-year-old daughter, missing since the morning of April 13.

On Tuesday night, Karen Bobo along with her husband, Dana, and son, Clint, agreed to take calls from NewsChannel 5 viewers during the hour-long, live broadcast of "OpenLine" on cable channel NewsChannel 5+.

Karen Bobo admitted she has had a hard time understanding the TBI's initial suspicion of Clint Bobo, Holly's brother. Clint Bobo was the first to be interrogated that fateful morning, since he was the last to see her alive.

Asked by host Kristin Priesol how he's coping, Clint Bobo replied:  "I spend every day and some effort to try to bring Holly home and I either search or I go around a different local businesses and towns and distribute fliers."

Dad Dana Bobo is back to work, but Karen Bobo, a school teacher, remains off the job. And money, she said, goes toward the family's day-to-day expenses as well as toward funding the ongoing search.

The reward for clues or information leading to an arrest has now grown to $85,000.

Several callers offered hope and support to the family, including Bo Tuders, the father of still missing Tabitha Tuders.

Karen Bobo said she heard from the mother of Natalie Holloway just this past Sunday; she also spoke recently with the once missing Elizabeth Smart and her father, who also offered encouragement.

"Her father, of course, his advice was as what we're trying to do, keep her name out there," Karen recalled.

TBI Director Mark Gwyn

Official: No one cleared in TN woman's abduction
Last Update: 4/18 8:34 pm
   
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Authorities say no one has been eliminated as a suspect in the disappearance of 20-year-old Holly Bobo, believed to have been abducted last week from her West Tennessee home.

Tennessee Bureau of Investigation Director Mark Gwyn asked the public for help Monday, urging them to think about any strange behavior from people they know since Bobo disappeared on Wednesday.

Law enformement officials said last week that Bobo's brother and boyfriend were not suspects but Gwyn told The Associated Press that the TBI hasn't cleared anyone, "no matter what their relationship" is to the victim.

Hard Rock Café to Host Hope for Holly Benefit
 8/10/11

Candlelight vigil also being held at fairgrounds

A number of Nashville musicians will gather at the Hard Rock Café this Saturday for a fundraiser to benefit the family of missing Darden resident Holly Bobo.

The Hope for Holly benefit concert and silent auction starts Aug. 13 at 9 pm in the Hard Rock Café’s Reverb Room at its location on Broadway in downtown Nashville.

The event marks the four month mark since Holly Bobo went missing on April 13. The 20-year-old nursing student was last seen being led away from her home by a man dressed in camouflage. The Hope for Holly benefit is one of many that have been held in recent months to aid Bobo’s family as they continue to search for her.

NASHVILLE, TN (WSMV) - You've seen the picture of her with makeup on. You've seen the one without it. Now Holly's parents are releasing a new picture where Holly isn't smiling, and this is just one thing she's doing to help bring her daughter back.

"Every morning of course I wake up with the same prayer 'Let today be the day that Holly arrives home safely to us,'" said Karen Bobo, Holly's mom.

Karen Bobo is no longer a teacher. Instead she spends her days going from business to business in Parsons and door to door handing out flyers and searching for unfound clues.

Janet ~ what are your personal thoughts/opinions on this, if you wouldn't mind sharing?

I do not understand why Clint Bobo's recollections change with the wind . . . or, maybe I'm not reading correctly.  :smt017

Could it be that that Holly met an unintentional demise through an act of wrongdoing in the hours prior to Karen and Dana leaving the home on the morning of April 13th?  Could the abduction account ... the abduction account that Clint cannot seem to get straight ... have been collaborated/staged?  Could it be that the silence forthcoming from investigators imply that there is a person of interest but without evidence/ witness/ body/ confession the case cannot move forward?

Inquiring minds want to know:

1. Where had the Bobo vehicle been parked? In the carport?  Anywhere near the blood without a trail?

2. Where did Dana go after dropping Karen off at the school?

3. In the process of elimination in the Holly Bobo investigation, was the Bobo vehicle confiscated and forensically searched?

4. In the process of elimination in the Holly Bobo investigation, did Clint, Karen, Dana and Drew all submit to and pass polygraphs?

5. In the process of elimination in the Holly Bobo investigation, were respective cell phone records requested?

6. In the process of elimination in the Holly Bobo investigation,were computer hard drives analyzed?

7. In the process of elimination in the Holly Bobo investigation was there a forensic search of the home and property?

In other words ... in the process of elimination in the Holly Bobo investigation was the Bobo family investigated and ruled out as potential suspects?

The Killing of Polly Klaas

<snipped>

The girls were giggling and playing a board game called Perfect Match when Polly decided it was time to fetch her friends' sleeping bags from the living room.  She opened the bedroom door and saw a heavily muscled middle-aged man who was a complete stranger.  He was holding a knife and he immediately ordered, "Don't scream or I'll cut your throats!

<snipped>

"I'm just doing this for the money," the stranger said.

Polly offered him a box with $50 in cash.  He refused it and told the three girls to lie down on the floor.  Then he tied their hands behind their backs and placed hoods over their heads.

"I'm not going to hurt you," he assured them.  "I'm just doing this for the money," he repeated.

"Please don't hurt my Mom and sister," Polly begged.

Kate and Gillian heard the terror in their friend's voice. This was no joke.

The stranger picked the 12-year-old Polly up and told her friend to "count to 1,000" before they did anything. 

Then he carried Polly out of her home.

<snipped>

As was standard in such cases, both Eve Nichol and her ex-husband, Polly's father, Marc Klaas, took polygraph tests.  Both were ruled out as suspects.

Holly Bobo Commentary Points Out Holes in Story
August 12, 2011 10:20 PM EDT

According to Karen Bobo ... it appears that investigators were skeptical of Clint's changing stories regarding an alleged abduction from the getgo.

On April 13th on the TBI website the News Release by TBI Kristen Helm states that Holly was observed being "dragged" from the carport into the woods.

On April 16 TBI John Mehr reveals in a press briefing that Holly was not "dragged" after all. She was observed "walking" into the woods with her alleged abductor.

Considering there was only one witness ... considering investigators were not present ... logic dictates that it was Clint's account that changed.

Could it be that the changing account came about when investigators questioned Holly's 25 year old brother did not immediate take off on foot ... jump on an ATV ... to assist his younger sister who he observed being "dragged" into the woods?

"When Holly comes home,[Holly's mother] wants her to have some money so she can go on a vacation, or just treat herself with anything she wants."

So far 2,500 shirts have been sold at $12 apiece.

It's in an indication that Holly's family and close friends strongly believe she is alive somewhere.

Parsons, TN -

(WMC-TV) - It has been four months since nursing student Holly Bobo went missing and a massive search began.

A vigil was held Saturday at the Decatur County Fairgrounds on the four-month anniversary of Bobo's disappearance.

"We miss you so much and we won't give up until we find you," said her mother, Karen Bobo.

It is the contradictions that cause inquiring minds to suspect that Clint is not being forthcoming.

Clint states to JVM that he was not concerned about what he perceived was turkey blood in the carport but ... according to TBI John Mehr the blood did concern Clint. I can assume that this spokesperson for the investigation derived his words in his media briefing three days following the disappearance of Holly from Clint's statement ... Clint's 911 call.

Mehr said investigators “did not see drag marks.” He added she was “not forcefully dragged and she’s like any other victim, maybe complying with her attacker, but she walked into the woods” outside her Pasrons, Tenn. home.

Bobo’s 25-year-old brother Clint watched from inside the home, but did not believe she was being abducted until later. He saw the stranger from behind and believed it was his sister’s boyfriend.

Her brother, said Mehr, “had reasons to believe [the man] was not an attacker,” and did not call 911 until he saw blood outside.

Two days into the investigation authorities did not have any suspects but according to Karen Bobo at that time period Clint Bobo was looked at with suspicion by investigators.

On April 18th ... TBI Director Mark Gwyn made it perfectly clear that NOBODY had been ruled out as a suspect ... not even Clint or Drew.

FAMILY NOT RULED OUT

My Talk with Kristin Helm of the TBI Regarding the Holly Bobo Disappearance
 2:54 PM  Chelsea Hoffman

Today(8/15/2011) I spoke with Kristin Helm of the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation at around 12:55 to around 1:00 p.m. PST.  It was a brief conversation, but it was an important one regarding some misinformation being spread around on the internet by certain individuals and a few ill-informed news sources.

<snipped>

One rumor in particular, or rather a myth, is that Clint Bobo and the rest of the Bobo family are cleared of any and all suspicion regarding whatever happened to Holly Bobo.

<snipped>

Kristin Helm explained to me that nobody has been cleared in this investigation. She explained that there have been no official changes to previous public statements surrounding being "cleared of suspicion."

"The focus is to find Holly first," said Helm.

Until then, nobody is cleared. Kristin explained to me during our brief chat that it's important to basically be receptive to all potential scenarios and not be blinded while considering these scenarios. Pretty textbook stuff, and it's definitely a common procedure to keep eyewitnesses on investigative radar when something like an alleged abduction occurs.

In short, I got this information from the source of all sources -- The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation.  Which can be contacted below:

On June 3rd it has been revealed in the media that investigators were interviewing extended family.  The reason?  It appears that the immediate family of Holly is not communicating with investigators.

Was there a falling out?  Could it be that the focus of the Holly Bobo investigation is focused on a family member but ... without a confession, evidence, witness and/or a body ... the case cannot go forward?

Could it be that Clint, Dana, Karen and possibly Drew have not been forthcoming to investigators regarding knowledge which implies that an abduction on the morning of April 13th did not not happen?

VELEZ-MITCHELL: What are the police or the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation -- what are authorities telling you?

K. BOBO: The way I understand it, it`s a Tennessee law that actually the TBI doesn`t have to share any information with you as long as the case is ongoing, so we don`t receive much information at all.

Holly Bobo's family holds out hope for her return
Nearly 2 months later, town still reels from shock
June 3, 2011

Family's account

The family won’t talk about the case, but TBI spokeswoman Kristin Helm said investigators have gotten this account from interviews with relatives:

The day she went missing Bobo put on her bright pink shirt, jeans and black flip-flops and packed her lunch for another day of nursing school at the nearby UT-Martin campus.

Could it be that the lunch box found 8 miles from the Bobo residence, the blood in the carport lacking a trail and the scream that would imply that that Holly was alive minutes prior to a reported 911 call were all props ... props to further an abduction fabrication that was collaborated hours earlier following the demise of Holly Bobo?

Was the vehicle that Karen and Dana drove away in on the morning of April 13th ... was Drew's vehicle ... was Clint's vehice ... confiscated by authorities and forensically tested for blood evidence?

In the process of elimination in the Holly Bobo case ... did Karen, Dana, Clint and Drew submit to and pass polygraphs.

D. BOBO: Yes, they did tell us -- after a few weeks they did tell us that that blood did belong to our daughter. And as far as the lunch bag found that far away and some more stuff, I believe that was just more likely thrown out for a decoy. Might be to lead them away from where that really went, maybe.

The Killing of Polly Klaas

As was standard in such cases, both Eve Nichol and her ex-husband, Polly's father, Marc Klaas, took polygraph tests.  Both were ruled out as suspects.

http://www.trutv.com/library/crime/serial_killers/predators/klaas/1.html

On April 13th ... what motivated the immediate response of three levels of LE?

Contrary to his denial ... could it be that Clint did initially report that he observed Holly being "drug" from the carport toward the woods.  There must have been a foundation that Kristin Helm derived her words from in the April 13th TBI Media Release.

Holly Bobo's Family Recounts the Day She Vanished

Her 25-year-old brother, Clint, said he saw her walking north, into the woods with a man completely covered in hunting camouflage.

“The main thing with me is, they say she was seen being dragged away. And that was completely false,” Clint Bobo said.

The family said it was very normal to see someone wearing such gear, as it was turkey hunting season.

Clint Bobo said he assumed it was Holly’s boyfriend, since he is known to go turkey hunting.

“At the time, I just seen the two walking toward the woods. He wasn't leading her, he wasn't dragging her. They were walking simultaneously toward the woods. ...."

MISSING WOMAN FEARED TO BE VICTIM OF HOME INVASION KIDNAPPING

Nashville, Tenn. - The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and the Decatur County Sheriff’s Office are actively looking for leads in a possible home invasion and abduction of a 20-year-old Darden, Tenn. woman from her home this morning.

Holly Bobo was last seen by a family member being drug across the carport of her home on Swan Johnson Road toward a wooded area by a man wearing camouflage clothing. Holly is 5’3”, weighs 110 pounds and was last seen wearing a pink shirt and light blue jeans at approximately 7:30 am. The TBI’s Violent Crime Response Team is responding to gather evidence at the scene. Currently, there is no vehicle information available. Anyone with information in the whereabouts of Holly Bobo is urged to call the TBI at 1-800-TBI-FIND.

Holly Bobo Abduction: Week-in-review
Wed., April 13, Day 1: Recap from Decatur County Sheriff

<snipped>

There were questions as to why so many law enforcement agencies, including federal agents from the FBI and the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI), became involved in Holly’s case on day one. Sheriff Wyatt said they were taking every precaution that they knew to take.

“At this time,” he said, “whatever it might be, then that’s what we’re trying to prepare for.”

Could it be that on April 13th following the TBI News Release which stated that  Holly's brother observed his sister being "dragged" from the carport into the woods investigators had questions?  Is this why three days days later ... in a news briefing by TBI John Mehr ... the had story changed?  Holly was not dragged from the carport into the woods ... she was led ... she walked.  The implication now was that Clint had not been concerned and that is the reason he did not attempt to intervene in an attempt to assist his sister.

Could the changing story "dragged" to "walked" imply that behind the scenes investigators were beginning to have suspicions regarding the an alleged abduction?

Holly Bobo ‘In Fear of Her Life’
April 16, 2011

<snipped>

Mehr said investigators “did not see drag marks.” He added she was “not forcefully dragged and she’s like any other victim, maybe complying with her attacker, but she walked into the woods” outside her Pasrons, Tenn. home.

Bobo’s 25-year-old brother Clint watched from inside the home, but did not believe she was being abducted until later. He saw the stranger from behind and believed it was his sister’s boyfriend.

Her brother, said Mehr, “had reasons to believe [the man] was not an attacker,” and did not call 911 until he saw blood outside.

<snipped>

http://www.asapnewsnetwork.com/holly-bobo-in-fear-of-her-life/

Let me preface this by saying, I am not accusing the Bob's of anything.

Tamikosmom- Like you, I'm wondering why Karen Bobo would be talking to Drew on the phone between 4:30 a.m. and 7:30 a.m. before Holly went missing. How many parents chat on the phone with their child's boyfriend between 4:30 and 7:30 a.m.?  Why would they, unless the boyfriend is meeting the family for breakfast, picking up their daughter for school (and running late), or he's calling to wish her well on a major test? I wonder which phone Karen Bobo chatted with both Holly and Drew on? When and why did she call Holly if she knew Holly was up and had seen her before leaving the house for work? Or did Holly call her? If so, on the home phone or cell phone (from where)? Did Drew call Karen? If so, where did he call from and when? Did she call Drew?  If so, from where and at what time? Karen did not say she called any of them, only that she "had spoken to Holly, her mother, and her [Holly's] boyfriend.". No one in the family has stated that Holly was home between 4:30 a.m. and 7: 30 a.m.. The article here http://www.wreg.com/news/wreg-holly-bobos-family-recounts-the-day-she-vanished-20110722,0,3902086,full.story (http://www.wreg.com/news/wreg-holly-bobos-family-recounts-the-day-she-vanished-20110722,0,3902086,full.story) states that Holly got up at 4:30 a.m. to study, but no one said she did study and where she studied. Karen said "she had spoken to Holly that morning....", but it doesn't tell us whether that was in person or on the phone (Karen stated she "had spoken to Holly, her [Karen's] mother, and her [Holly's] boyfriend." that morning before 7:30 a.m.). Why were there no details about Holly studying, any family members having breakfast with her (or her declining), or shared conversation about the upcoming big test/Holly's demeanor?  Why didn't Karen say that Drew had called to wish Holly well on the test?  There are waaayyy too many unanswered questions,IMO.  It seems like something's missing here. Why would Clint call Karen at work to ask about people in the garage?  Wouldn't a grown man call 911?  I would, right before I loaded one of my family's hunting rifles. Also, wouldn't Clint know his sister's voice?  If I heard people in my garage, I'd be peeking out the window or cupping my ear to the nearest door.

Something else, so Clint sees two people in the garage and calls his mom to see who they are.  Karen says she knew Drew was not there because she talked to him earlier (which puts Drew somewhere else). So, at that point both Clint and Karen knew it was not Drew in the garage with Holly.  So, Clint just forgets about it and gets in the shower. It was important enough to him a few minutes ago to call his mom at work and suddenly it's unimportant that there's an unknown man in the garage with his sister at 7:30 a.m.??? It's only after Clint's shower that he happens to look out and see Holly "being drug/led away into the woods" by Drew (he said he assumed)? The problem with Clint's statement is that according to both Clint and Karen, Clint already knows it's not Drew, but he says he assumed it was.  He knows because he'd already called Karen and she'd told him (paraphrase) Drew's not there, I spoke with him this morning. When Clint called to report two people in the garage and Karen told him it wasn't Drew, why didn't Karen call 911 or tell Clint to at that moment? How did Karen know it couldn't be Drew?  Who did Karen think was in the garage with Holly, that she wasn't instantly alarmed that a stranger was in her garage with her young daughter ? Did she call Holly at that point on her cell phone to check on her?

This is not making any sense and it seems the more the Bobo family talks, the muddier it gets.  If events transpired as we're being told, those details should be solidly etched in each family member's mind.  It's not like a lot of time passed between when Clint saw/heard the two people in the garage and when Karen called to tell him the neighbor heard a scream. Just my opinion.

Well, need to head out.  The 'puter needs to power up, as do I.  Take good care, everybody!

Bottom Line!!

Thanks ISpy.

Janet

So, summarizing from the Bobo's family interviews:

1. Clint saw/heard two people in the garage, but was unable to hear or recognize his sister's voice?  However, he could the two people well enough to know they were bending down over something and talking.
2. Clint, an adult male, called Karen at work (rather than LE) to find out who they were.  Karen said in her interview that she knew Drew wasn't there when Clint called prior to taking his shower. So, who did Karen say was there?  Did Karen tell Clint that the man in the garage was not Drew?  If so, why did Clint go on to tell LE he assumed it was Drew dragging/leading Holly into the woods? Why weren't Karen or Clint alarmed that Holly was in the garage with an unknown man at 7:00 in the morning? Why didn't Clint come out and check on her/confront the man/call 911?  Why didn't Karen call 911 and immediately come home? Why didn't Karen call Dana Bobo and alert him (and he come home)?
3. Why did Karen talk to Drew between 4:30 a.m. and 7:30 a.m.?  Did she physically see Drew or talk to him on the phone?  If there was phone contact, who called whom and from where? Did Karen physically see and talk to Holly that morning?  How did Karen definitively know Drew wasn't there or didn't arrive there after she had left for work?

I'm curious, where does Dana Bobo work? Is it somewhere he could not leave?  I know some companies seriously "discourage" employees from leaving (unless they're dying, that is).  Is his employer like that? Does Clint have a job? I must have missed this somewhere in the reporting. Honestly, so many young girls boys women men people going missing is ridiculous!  You'd think in a country as populated as ours, somebody, somewhere would have to see/hear/know/report something. I don't know how the families and friends or LE do this day in and day out, much less for years.  I know there's some bad apples, but LE, on the whole, has my sincere gratitude.  All MOO

Under the circumstances ... it would make sense that quitting was no necessary ... the public school district would have afforded Karen Bobo a leave of absence.

Hi Tamikosmom: ::MonkeyAngel::

Have you seen in the comments section of Blink's article, posted under "Blake Barnett"? You may have to read between the lines to understand what the poster is implying. I am just throwing this out there, food for thought per se. You may want to read the most recent comments regarding this on Blinks site. This is not the first time around the internet that "NB's" employer has come up. (I am quite shocked if this is true however about Nat B. so I am doubtful, but if true this could explain away the odd behavior of LE and the Bobo parents)

http://blinkoncrime.com/2011/05/10/holly-bobo-missing-and-endangered-are-suspects-naming-themselves-odd-dodd/#comments  (http://blinkoncrime.com/2011/05/10/holly-bobo-missing-and-endangered-are-suspects-naming-themselves-odd-dodd/#comments)

The fact that it was hunting season (turkey) only furthers my suspicions.  We know exactly who has permission to be on our land. Our family quickly shifts into high gear, if we don't immediately recognize somebody or their vehicle (as do most landowners who hunt).  Nobody wants a stranger on their land with a weapon, much less a poacher or worse. Every landowner we know has no qualms about confronting the person in question (usually with a weapon in hand, too). Maybe that's just our community, but we know better than to go on someone's property without permission (especially during hunting season). I'm a little surprised the neighbor didn't call 911 when she heard a scream.  That would have prompted the men to go in the woods and a the wives to call 911, where I live.  Just sayin'

ISpy

I will read your post later when I have the time to take it all in.  Three grandkids (8-11)  are patiently (?) waiting at the kitchen table for a game of 500 Rummy.

Thanks cartfly

I will take at boo at those links later.  Hopefully ... I can talk the grandkids into watching a video.  "Retired" hubby is at work so ... no backup.

Janet

cartfly- thanks for the posts! As far as Nat. Bobo goes...

**RANT ALERT**  Sorry if I'm preaching to the choir here.
I am SO OVER young girls, thinking they're "hot" and posting provocative pics all over the 'Net!  How stupid can they get???  No offense to anyone here, but "pretty" girls are a dime a dozen (no pun intended) and none of them have anything any other girl doesn't. They might as well hang a target around their neck and just wait.  Where are their parents??? Are they stupid too??? There's no such thing as "it's all in fun"or "They're just girls, being girls." with this stuff. There are P R E D A T O R S in every community, working at your local stores/delivery companies/construction companies/utility companies/restaurants.  If you doubt it, look up your state's RSO (Registered Sex Offender) list and see for yourself.  You place an ad with the way you're dressed or flaunting/advertising yourself and somebody's going to answer that ad.  You issue an invitation and someone will RSVP...it's just a a matter of who, where, and when. Perps are using medical and physical "enhancements", weaponry, and equipment that allow them to sexually assault repeatedly.  I'm fully convinced girls and their parents don't realize or completely understand the danger or they'd never let their girls dress or flaunt the way they do, online/in person. Sometimes I just want to post it/tell them bluntly what's out there. How many girls have to disappear before our society gets it; before parents get it?  How many, before the girls themselves get it? We live in a perverted society, so we should not be surprised there are perverts committing perverted acts. We need to be teaching our girls/women wisdom, self-respect, self-control, and self-defense. I am SO OVER seeing young girls/women trying to prove how "sexy" they are and trying to "out-sex" the competition. God help us and them (seriously).

Done. 
           

Great post ISPY!!! I completely agree. It always irritates me when these girls post pictures of themselves with that improper "I am so sexy" "pouty" look with their lips. It looks ridiculous and it makes me crazy that the parents have not instilled proper values in their daughters. Anywho, I share your frustration.

i kept wondering how clint saw from the house into the garage,unless he opened the door
that goes from the house to garage,now i know.the bobo house has an attached garage,and a
detached garage,i think he looked out what are prob bedR windows in the back near the pool
into the detached garage, FYI-north is to your right of the detached garage
i went back to the gis map,and still cant find a neighbor, close enough, that would associate
a scream, to holly bobo house,and not one of a neighbor thats closer to them,the bobo house
is 7/10 of a mile, from all houses,north of the woods,on the north side of the bobo property,
and at 7/10  mile due north of bobo house,there are 4 houses within, at the max 1000'
from each other,those houses are the closest houses to bobo that are due north, due south
are 4,i think only 2 houses  would hear a scream,and associate it to the bobo house,
maybe clint made a mistake when he said north
i dont have the link,but i saw a vid that showed a lot of LE car and truck, around the
 house,the morn holly was taken,so im thinking the LE compromised the scene,and whos
to say the perp only headed into the wood,because he seen clint,but then circled back
to the end of the drive or mid drive on that long driveway to where his car/truck was
parked

 
good view of house @ 2:10 to 2:14 and at 2:29,you can see a detached garage
and more views of house till 2:36

ISpy...great post indeed!  If Mama Bobo "spoke" to Holly and her BF early that am could it be that he had spent the night and that is the reason Clint really thought it was him in the garage and walking her towards the woods and had no need to worry?  Is the BF a suspect maybe but they are waiting to find her, trap him, build evidence???? JMO!

melisb-I too wondered if Holly & Drew hadn't spent the night together somewhere. I can think of so few reasons for a mom to talk to her daughter's boyfriend between 4:30-7:30 a.m.

I also thought it odd that Karen said Holly got up at 4:30 to study, but she didn't relate any details to Holly actually studying (like she saw Holly studying, where in the house Holly was studying, whether or not Holly was still studying when Karen left, Holly's demeanor that morning,any comments Holly or Karen would have made about the impending test, etc.).  She also skipped from Holly getting up at 4:30 a.m. to Clint calling.  There were in between details family interaction between Karen and Holly or Dana and Holly (all of whom should have been up and moving around the house, physically present, getting ready for the day, and eating breakfast/verbally declining -none of which would have been done in absolute silence).  Wouldn't you have gone over in your mind and verbally recounted the events of the morning in detail, if your family member went missing?  You would be constantly asking yourself, "What did I miss?".  Not casting any blame here, but where was Dana Bobo all morning? The interviews are short on a lot of details, IMO.

I can't figure out why a 25 year old would call his mom at work, as opposed to sneaking toward the garage and spying/peeking/eavesdropping to see who was there/going to the garage and confronting whoever/calling 911. If I suspect somebody's in my garage, 911 will be my first phone call (particularly if I live in the woods).  Thinking that last sentence through...Unless, of course, I don't trust LE because I have some inside info on corrupt cops.  Then, I'd call my parents, whom I'd expect to come immediately.  So, why didn't they come immediately?  I'm back to "How did Karen know it wasn't Drew in the garage or that he didn't come after Karen left for work?" How did she know where Drew was or wasn't?   She didn't say she "thought"; she said she "knew".

The University of Tennessee at Martin is 1 hr 46 mins away from Holly's home.  Most Nursing classes begin at 8 or 9. I'd like to know what time Holly usually left for class.  Did he car pool or pick friends up?  Was that why Clint called Karen?  To see where Holly was?  If he thought/was told it was Holly in the garage, wouldn't he have thought it odd/been concerned to see her walking toward the woods at 8:00 period?  If she had a test important enough to get up at 4:30 to study for and had to drive 1 hr 46 mins to make it to class, then why was no one concerned that she was still at home from 7:30-8?  In this article http://www.examiner.com/missing-persons-in-national/holly-bobo-s-family-shares-painful-memories-of-the-morning-she-vanished (http://www.examiner.com/missing-persons-in-national/holly-bobo-s-family-shares-painful-memories-of-the-morning-she-vanished), it says Karen and Dana had already left for work.  It says that "At around 7:30 a.m., Holly headed to her car.".  If Karen and Dana had already left for work and Clint was asleep in bed, how does anyone know when Holly headed to her car? It also states Tammy White (a very close Bobo family friend) was on the scene that morning-yet no one mentioned her? "Tammy recalled that around 7:40a.m. Holly went out to her car...".  A later article states that Tammy arrived on the scene after the fact and was repeating what she'd been told, not actually witnessed (per The Examiner).  Again, how does anyone know what time Holly went out to her car?  If Clint and Holly were super close and he was always looking out for her, don't you think he'd be yelling out a window, "Hey Holly, where are you going?  You're going to be late for class!" as she's walking towards the woods with "Drew"?  Anybody who's ever lived with a Nursing student can tell you, the stress level is up there on test days and there is no such thing as being late for class (much less a test). Most Nursing schools run a really tight ship and admission is pretty competitive.

Tamikosmom- Things just got a lot muddier. Searching a different aspect of the timeline we've been told and found this link http://www.examiner.com/missing-persons-in-national/holly-bobo-s-family-shares-painful-memories-of-the-morning-she-vanished (http://www.examiner.com/missing-persons-in-national/holly-bobo-s-family-shares-painful-memories-of-the-morning-she-vanished).  It seems people are having a hard time keeping their stories straight. Not accusing anyone of anything here, just my own opinion.  I can remember the morning a child I know "disappeared" (the child had kept the mom up most of the night and the dad took the child to work with him, so the mom could sleep in-he left a note that she didn't see).  This happened a few years back and that mom can still recite in exact order what she did, where she looked/went, what she thought, and how she felt both during and after. Anyone who's been in that kind of situation remembers details because the adrenaline heightens all of their senses, including memory and recall. So, why aren't the Bobos' recollections perfectly clear and consistent in each interview?

Time to scoot...too tired to think about this anymore + an early morning and busy day.  Have a good one everybody!  Take good care!

OOOhhh ISpy all good points and questions!  Maybe Holly and her BF didn't stay there that night and she talked to her dtr and bf to ask when is Holly coming home to get her car and go to school?  Maybe Clint knew she should be in garage and bf was dropping her off.  Idk!  One thing is obvious, we do not have the exact and whole story from the fam.  Could be due to LE not wanting them to but now who knows!

Is look first to the -- to the persons that are closest to the -- to the victim. I mean, it starts with their -- the boyfriend, the -- the best friend, any acquaintance that they`ve just made, family members, brothers, sisters. I mean, they do. I mean you have to begin -- I mean that`s -- that`s the dirty task that you have to begin looking immediately at those - - at those family members and friends -- friends closest to the victim.

HILL: Is that -- is that what normally happens? I mean, I know that -- that used to be the case and almost all instances of -- of murder that it was -- you look at the persons who were the closest to that -- to that victim and you usually find the one responsible. But now there seems to be more random crime.

HOLLOWAY: Well, you`re exactly right. There are more random crimes but I still think if you go back to the basics, and when you`re -- when you begin you have to -- you have to have a threshold and -- in a lot of cases, you might have a person of interest that -- who was the last person seen with this individual.

But if you don`t, as you said, you can`t be abducted by aliens.

Holly Bobo's parents still relive daughter's disappearance; 'Every second without Holly is too long'
11:51 PM, Aug. 20, 2011   

DARDEN — Holly Bobo's parents relive a nightmare every day.

Dana Bobo, Holly's father, leaves for work at the McKenzie Tree Service in Parsons at about 5:30 a.m.

He returns about 10 hours later to begin a second job of sorts, a job his wife, Karen Bobo, does most hours every day — they search for their daughter.

Karen Bobo starts her morning with prayer and Scripture, then begins her search efforts. She passes out fliers, takes calls and shares information with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation.

Authorities have been looking for Holly Bobo since she vanished on April 14. Her brother told
authorities he saw a man in camouflage leading her away from their home in the small town of
Darden. The young woman was heading to nursing classes at the Tennessee Technology Center's
Parsons campus at the time.

I saw an advertisment for the new season of Survivor and one of the contestants
is a girl named Whitney, who is idenified as "a country music singer"

Does anybody know if that is Holly Bobo's cousin?  Sure looked like her to me,
but IDK.

Magnolia, Whitney is her cousin.

Whitney Duncan Keeps the Faith With ‘Bring Holly Home’ Bracelets on ‘Survivor’ Preview
By: Amanda Hensel  |  2 days ago

Nashville country singer Whitney Duncan may be set to star on ‘Survivor: South Pacific‘ this fall, but that doesn’t mean she has forgotten about her cousin Holly Bobo, who is still missing since being kidnapped from her home in April. In a new promo for the show, Duncan sports pink bracelets that read “Hope for Holly” and “Bring Holly Home” in honor of her cousin.

Thank you, Grace-land.

Establishing a timeline based on the words of Karen and Clint is impossible.  Why?

Then there is the question that begs an answer ... "Why did neither Clint or Karen attempt to call Holly on her cell"?

Karen said she was in her school's cafeteria when she got the message that a neighbor's son had heard screams coming from their home.

"I think at that point I knew something was wrong because I knew Holly had a test, a big test, that day," she said. "And at the time she came and told me that, Holly should've already been gone to school."

Karen said Clint, who was at home asleep at the time, did not hear screams.

"Well, when I spoke to Clint, and he asked me did Holly not have school today because her car was still here, then I really knew something," Karen said.

He also asked his mom if Holly was going hunting with her boyfriend. Karen said no and that her daughter should have already been at school because she had a test.

Karen panicked, making two calls to the police as she made her way home and informed her husband, who also rushed home from work.

She said when her son realized what had happened, he also called the police.

I can't be the only one who finds it odd that Holly's cousin would star on Survivor, can I?  I do not find it odd at all that Karen Bobo has not returned to work.  I would be a basket case and likely heavily medicated just to get through the day.  I would not be able to do a good job at all.

Considering Whitney was not a participant in the happenings encompassing the morning of April 13th ... she is not my focus when speculating about the Holly Bobo case.

New Monkey

I would also be a basket case.

The elusive truth may be a topic of debate but ... the fact remains that Karen's precious daughter is missing.

Janet

YW, Magnolia.  I'm waiting patiently for TBI to solve this case and bring Holly home.

I don't think Whitney should be the focus of the case, for sure.  But it does seem rather odd she'd be up for doing a reality tv show when her cousin has been missing less than six months. IIRC, this family was allegedly really close knit.

She is gorgeous.  I hope she brings lots of attention to Holly.  Let's find her.  Please, God, we need to find this young lady and bring her home for those who love her.

Search for Holly Bobo now a full-time job for her family

 ::snipping2::

"Now all I do is search for my sister," said her brother, Clint Bobo.

Once a social work student at the University of Tennessee Martin, Clint Bobo has now taken up the search for his sister full time.  The 25-year-old is the last person known to have seen Holly Bobo as she was being led into the woods on their property by a man in camouflage.

Instead of attending classes, Clint Bobo travels to neighboring towns and states passing out flyers in hopes it leads to a breakthrough.

Karen Bobo, Holly Bobo's mother, was teaching at a local elementary school when she received the call about her daughter.  She has since quit after 26 years as a second grade teacher.

Authorities are still on the case and are assisted by constant updates from Karen Bobo.

 ::snipping2::

I agree with both of you but it could be possible that she applied to the show and was accepted and under contract to do it before or about same time as Holly's disappearance. I guess it is a good extra way to get her name mentioned on national tv again.  That is always a good thing and I'm sure she will speak about it in her one on one camera time or be asked about it in front of the other contestants.

melisb

My focus is attempting to comprehend the inconsistencies and contradictions encompassing the happenings claimed by only witness in regards to the alleged abduction of Holly Bobo.

Until then I am unable to move on in my speculations ... speculations that imply that Holly met her demise sometime prior to Karen and Dana's departure from the residence on the morning of April 13th ... speculations which imply that the abduction of Holly was a collaborated fabriction.

Why did Holly's blood which was located in the carport not have a trail?

Why did tracking dogs not detect Holly's scent leading to the woods?

Janet

Karen Bobo acknowledges that Clint was a focus of suspicion by the TBI? Did her son's changing stories within three days regarding what he observed on the morning of April 13th imply that something was not right.

VELEZ-MITCHELL: What are the police or the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation -- what are authorities telling you?

K. BOBO: The way I understand it, it`s a Tennessee law that actually the TBI doesn`t have to share any information with you as long as the case is ongoing, so we don`t receive much information at all.
 
http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/1108/04/ijvm.01.html

Haven't been able to spend much time here lately.  So blue since Caylee's case turned out the way it did.....Doesn't feel like we do much good.....Anyway.  Seems odd, the emphasis on the packed lunch, considering that lunch bag was found.  Makes me think even more that it was a decoy.......

Morning Janet, maybe the rift between the Bobo's and FBI is just as you thought all along and they are suspect of goings on that morning too in the Bobo home, Clint's weird story and just nothing fitting with what the family reported!!!

LE refusing to tell the family something as basic as whether or not they found her phone means one of two things to me; they still consider the family to be suspects, or LE is just puffing out their chests because they can.

Clint searching other towns and hanging flyers tells me that LE has not zeroed in on anyone and is not just waiting for evidence to justify an arrest (unless of course Clint is guilty and playing some kind of game, but I am not feeling that.) I really don't think LE has a single thing to go on in this case. Not a thing.

Could it be that the media silence for three months and ... the calling off of official searches at Easter imply that investigators have focused in on a person of interest but without a confession, evidence and/or a body ... the case has come to a standstill?  Something akin to so many missing person cases that have been discussed on this site.

Janet

 ::rhino::

Could it be that the lunch bag found eight miles from the Bobo residence ... the blood in the carport without a trail and ... the scream were all props in a collaborated fabrication ... a collaborated fabrication that implied an abduction of Holly ... a collaborated fabrication that took place hours prior to Karen and Dana's departure to work?

Only problem with a collaborated fabrication ... the participants require a good memory to keep the alleged happenings straight.  Changing and inconsistent stories create red flags.

Has the neighbor or neighbor's son been identified?  Who heard the screams?

Janet- You're coming through loud and clear on my channel.  Given the number of inconsistencies over multiple statements from differing media source, the odds are against it all being misquoting by the media.  It's just too odd. Things aren't adding up in the accounts we're being told and it doesn't fit what we know of parents of missing children. Seriously, if your child goes missing, you constantly rehash every little detail of what they were wearing, what they said or didn't say, what plans had been made for the day, any issues with family members/friends/neighbors/co-workers/classmates/significant others/former flames, the hours/days/weeks prior to the event, etc.  If anything, as details are related, the focus becomes narrower and sharper...not muddier and more confusing.  Why aren't we seeing that happen in Holly's case?  Things that make you go "Hhhmmm.".  My opinion

since the neighbor has not been named i wont put the names up of the neighbors

Which neighbor/neighbor's son heard the scream.  Has she/he been identified?  Has a name or address ever been revealed?  How far away from the Bobo home is the closest neighbor?  Did this neighbor live in the direction that Clint claimed that Holly and the abductor allegedly entered the woods?

Janet

Could Holly have met her demise hours prior to Dana and Karen's departure from the residence?  In an attempt to cover up the wrongdoing of a loved one ... could a collaborated fabrication have been quickly established ... a collaborated fabrication that implied an abduction?

Could the lunchbox located eight miles away and... the blood without a trail have been props to support the abduction fabrication?  Could the scream have been staged to imply that Holly was alive at 7:30 PM?

In the process of elimination in the Holly Bobo case ... was the Bobo vehicle that Dana drove on the morning of April 13th confiscated and forensically investigated?  Did Clint, Karen, Dana and the elusive Drew submit to and pass polygraphs?

The Elusive Drew Scott

Why has the media profile of Drew Scott been non-existent since the disappearance of Holly Bobo?  Why was Karen speaking to Drew on the morning of April 13th prior to being informed of the scream?

Karen said: "It's the same thing. It's like a nightmare that you live over and over every day."

Dana adds: "And it's not getting any easier. You might think it is, but actually it's getting harder."

Now, four months later the heartache rages on.Holly's bedroom is filled with mementos that remind her parents of their only daughter. A pink teddy bear that holds the words, "Luv Ya," is on Holly's bed. It was a gift from her boyfriend, Drew. Karen said the 20-year-old is doing as well as can be expected. She said: "I text him every night, and he texts me back."

http://crimesceneusa.blogspot.com/2011/08/holly-bobos-mom-nightmare-you-live-over.html

I have all the very same questions you have!

And some of my own!

was Danas place of work searched?
Were Cadaver dogs used?
Why have no sar teams been brought in?
Where is Drew Scott and why has he not spoken?
Why did Clint quit school?
Did something happen at school and he quit and that was why he was home.

Im confused by the many changing stories!

This has to be the strangest Missing persons case i HAVE ever followed

JMO

In the process of elimination in the Holly Bobo case ... was Karen, Dana, Clint and Drew's cell phone records retrieved by investigators ... cell phone records which would reveal activity in the timeframe between the last Holly sighting and the 911 calls?  Were harddrives investigated?

In the process of elimination in the Holly Bobo case ... was the house and property considered a crime scene and searched accordingly?

In other words ... in the process of elimination in the Holly Bobo case ... was Karen, Dana, Clint and Drew ... those who were closest to Holly ... considered persons of interest prior to being ruled out.

Eileen

I do not have a desire that Clint, Karen, Dana and/or Drew are either participants in what happened to Holly or in a persuing coverup.

However ... considering a missing Holly Bobo is my ONLY focus ... I firmly believe that all avenues must be investigated in the persuit of justice ... especially avenues where there are perceived red flags.

If it is officially revealed that those closest to Holly were considered persons of interests by law enforcement ... were exhaustively investigated and ... ultimately ruled out ... I will then move on in my speculations.

Janet

The words of Drew's grandmother and Holly's mother imply the relationship was current.  There was not a recent breakup as rumored.

Also ...Karen had spoken to Drew prior to 7:30 AM ... prior to being informed of the scream ... on the morning of the alleged kidnapping.

Holly had been dating a local boy, 19-year-old Drew Scott.

The boy's grandmother, Susie Siglow, told The Daily the two were madly in love and planning to marry, and said Drew was too distraught to speak.

"I’ve known Holly for a long time," Siglow said. "Holly would never hurt nobody and she would never run away from home. She is the sweetest person you could ever meet."

She added, "[Drew] is tore up. Last night was the first night they’ve been apart for about a year."

Something akin to the Caylee Anthony case ... I wish that the 911 calls regarding an alleged abduction of Holly Bobo that were placed on the morning of April 13th were released? I also wish that Clint's original statement to investigators was released.

Logic dictates that TBI Kristin Helm had a credible foundation that she derived her words from in the April 13th official TBI media release.

Why did the story change three days later when TBI John Helm stated Holly was not dragged from the carport but ... allegedly walked into the woods with who he perceived to be her boyfriend?

Karen states in one of her recent interviews that she could not comprehend why investigators were initially suspicious of Clint. Could it be that the changing stories created some red flags?

On Tuesday night, Karen Bobo along with her husband, Dana, and son, Clint, agreed to take calls from NewsChannel 5 viewers during the hour-long, live broadcast of "OpenLine" on cable channel NewsChannel 5+.

Annual 'Darden Day' to honor Holly Bobo
Posted: Aug 31, 2011 9:38 PM CDT

DARDEN, Tenn. – A small west Tennessee community plans to honor Holly Bobo at their annual "Darden Day" event scheduled for Saturday.

The event begins at 10 a.m. with a parade and walk for the missing nursing student who was last seen in April, followed by a balloon release by her Sunday School class at 11 a.m.

The 20-year-old's family is expected to participate in the events.

 ::snipping2::

I guess if Drew was not at the home that morning, there would not be much reason for LE to examine him too closely, assuming he can be placed elsewhere all morning. I don't doubt he has been questioned about their relationship and as to whether or not he knew anyone who was a threat to Holly. But if he has an alibi, then he couldn't have done it. Of course, there is always the third-party type situation where he could have set it up...and most likely he isn't techinically cleared either. Really, how can LE clear anyone, when they don't know what happened?

I think the fact that LE has not publicly cleared the family means that they are at a loss as to what happened to Holly; they may well believe her family, but no one can prove that Clint really saw what he says he saw.

How can anyone really be ruled out? Sure, lie detectors help, to some extent, but are not foolproof anyway. Until someone else is found to the culprit, I don't think can or will "clear" anyone.

For a case with an eye witness to an abduction, this seems like one of the least likely cases to be solved, to me. Everything just went wrong from the start...too long of a delay for searchers to get into the woods.

bebecat

The elusive Drew may have an alibi for 7:30 AM when the neighbor reported hearing the scream but ... does he have one for the timeframe between the the last time Holly was seen by anyone outside of Drew and family prior to the morning of April 13th?  Karen stated in one of her current interviews that she had spoken to Drew prior to the 7:30 AM scream.  Why?

As I prviously stated ... it is not my desire that Clint, Karen, Dana or Drew are involved with the happenings encompassing the demise of Holly or are participants in a persuing coverup.  However ... considering a missing Holly Bobo is my ONLY focus ... I firmly believe that all avenues must be investigated in the persuit of justice ... especially avenues where there are perceived red flags.

If it is officially revealed that those closest to Holly were considered persons of interests by law enforcement ... were exhaustively investigated and ... ultimately ruled out ... I will then move on in my speculations.

Janet

Well, seeing how we don't know any of the answers to the questions posed, we really don't know much at all, very little more than we did the day Holly vanished. LE refusing to speak out about this crime is getting ridiculous, IMO. It makes me think they know they messed up from the beginning.

I agree.

Nevertheless ... could it be that investigators are focused on persons of interest but without a confession, evidence or a body the Holly Bobo case has come to a standstill.

bebecat ... my sincere prayer is that a conscience will prevail ... the truth will be revealed and ... justice will prevail for Holly Hobo.

There will be consequences ... accountability will be required but ... repentence/ confession opens the door to peace of mind and above all ... to God's forgiveness.

Don Franks, the Pastor of Bobo's church, Corinth Baptist Church in Parsons, said "This annual celebration is just an event to bring this community together."

The 3rd Annual Darden Day festival was a typical celebration with a parade, singing and neighbors fellow shipping, but it's different this year.

"Under other circumstances, Holly Bobo would be in the parade marching with us and she would be down here providing music for the day," said Pastor Franks.

As the praise team from Bobo's church sang, it reminded her friends, like Jill White, that Holly wasn't there.

"We are just country people and we aren't giving up till we find her," said Franks.

There is still an $85,000 reward for information in Holly's disappearance.  September 13th will mark five months since Bobo disappeared and everyone in Darden is hoping she will be home by then.

Holly's family goes out and searches or does something every day to find her.  Dana Bobo said they receive tips, sometimes daily, but so far, nothing has led police to an arrest.

The Abduction of Holly Bobo - TBI John Mehr

Holly Bobo ‘In Fear of Her Life’
April 16, 2011

Holly Bobo, 20, was confronted Wednesday by a man in hunting camouflage who forced her to go with him into the woods, said John Mehr, spokesman for the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation.

“What we believe, and I’ll tell you he actually had an arm holding her and so we feel that she knew that she was in fear of her life so she was complying with his commands,” he told a news conference.

Mehr said investigators “did not see drag marks.” He added she was “not forcefully dragged and she’s like any other victim, maybe complying with her attacker, but she walked into the woods” outside her Pasrons, Tenn. home.

Bobo’s 25-year-old brother Clint watched from inside the home, but did not believe she was being abducted until later. He saw the stranger from behind and believed it was his sister’s boyfriend.

Her brother, said Mehr, “had reasons to believe [the man] was not an attacker,” and did not call 911 until he saw blood outside.

JULY 13TH

The Abduction of Holly Bobo - Tammy White

3 months later, friend reflects on the morning Holly Bobo went missing
July 13, 2011

PARSONS, Tennessee (Isabelle Zehnder reporting)-- Tammy White, a very close friend of the Bobo family, said on Tuesday that as the three-month-mark of Holly's abduction approaches she can't help but reflect on the details of the morning that 20-year-old nursing student Holly Bobo was abducted from outside her Darden, Tennessee home.....

Tammy said during a phone conversation Tuesday, "Clint has told his story many times and his story never changes."

She said Holly Bobo's parents left for work early the morning of April 13 and were gone at the time of the reported abduction.

The TBI confirmed that at around 7:40 a.m. Holly went out to her car carrying her school supplies, lunch, and some other personal belongings.

Tammy said Tuesday that soon after Holly went outside one of their neighbors called Holly's mom, Karen Bobo, at work to tell her she'd heard someone scream. Karen panicked because their home is located in a very rural area with few homes nearby.

Karen followed her mother's intuition and asked a friend to ride home with her to see if everything was alright. She forgot her cell phone and borrowed her friend's to call Clint, Tammy said.

Tammy said that moments earlier Holly's dog barked and woke Clint up. He told police he looked out the window and saw his sister walking into the woods with a man who had his hand on Holly's arm. At the time Clint believed the man who was with her was her boyfriend, Drew Scott.

Given the location of Holly's home and the fact that it was turkey hunting season, it was not uncommon to see people dressed in full camo.

Tammy said that shortly after he woke up Clint received a call from his mom who asked him, "Where's Holly?" He told her that Holly went into the woods with her boyfriend, Drew.

Karen told Clint, "It wasn't Drew," panicked, hung up, and called 911.

Clint was concerned by what his mother said and went outside, Tammy said. He saw blood on the ground, ran back into the house, and called 911.

The two 911 calls went to different counties, Henderson and Decatur.

"After he made the 911 call Clint ran back outside and into the woods to look for Holly, but he saw no sign of her," Tammy said.

After I saw the blood, I thought that was blood of a turkey that Drew had killed.

http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/1108/04/ijvm.01.html

The April 13th Kirsten Helm TBI news release leaves no doubt why three levels of LE responded to the 911 calls.

If on April 13th Clint claimed there had been a home invastion and ... he observed his sister dragged across the carport into the wood by a stranger ... it makes sense.

However ... if the changed story revealed two days later by TBI John Mehr ... the changed story that Holly was not dragged but walked into the woods by who Clint perceived to be her boyfriend ... I do believe the response by LE would have differed.

There were questions as to why so many law enforcement agencies, including federal agents from the FBI and the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI), became involved in Holly’s case on day one. Sheriff Wyatt said they were taking every precaution that they knew to take.

“At this time,” he said,“whatever it might be, then that’s what we’re trying to prepare for.”

With less than 3,000 people, Darden's residents say their size is their strength.

"Well, this is just the greatest place to live in the world because of what we have here," said District 72 state Rep. Steve McDaniel. "We have a tight-knit community that is like a family. We pull together when times get tough."

 ::snipping2::

Don Franks, pastor of the church where Bobo attended, led a prayer for the day's events and for Bobo's return.

"This has been difficult times for the family and the community, but through faith we are pulling through," Franks said. "We have tried to support the family in any way possible."

Dana Bobo, Holly's father, said he was not surprised by the community's actions.

"I knew what they were going to do," he said. "We are all in it for the long haul, and we are appreciative of their prayers. Also, we have not given up hope, we won't and we are still expecting to bring Holly home."

Clint Bobo, Holly's brother, said his and his family's days are still filled with searching for clues and doing everything they can to help unearth information.

"A lot of days, I put up fliers and just try to keep her information out there," he said. "I would say we are closer now than we have ever been."

Karen Bobo, Holly's mother, was also at the festival but was not available for comment Saturday afternoon.

A table was set up at the festival for people to buy T-shirts and pins with Bobo's information on them.

When Clint's changing story regarding his alleged observation encompassing the alleged abduction of his sister is considered ... could it be that ALL the answers pertaining to the demise and disappearance of Holly Bobo lie in the hours prior to Dana and Karen departure from the home on the morning of April 13th?

In the process of elimination in the Holly Bobo case ...

1. Was the Bobos'vehicles conficated and forensicly investigated.

2. Did Clint, Karen, Dana and Drew all submitted to and pass polygraphs.

3. Was the Bobo home and property considred a crime scene ... a crime scene that was searched accordingly.

4. Were Clint, Karen, Dana and Drew ... those closest to Holly ... considered persons of interest and investigated accordingly.

Official: No one cleared in TN woman's abduction
Last Update: 4/18 8:34 pm
 
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Authorities say no one has been eliminated as a suspect in the disappearance of 20-year-old Holly Bobo, believed to have been abducted last week from her West Tennessee home.

Tennessee Bureau of Investigation Director Mark Gwyn asked the public for help Monday, urging them to think about any strange behavior from people they know since Bobo disappeared on Wednesday.

Law enformement officials said last week that Bobo's brother and boyfriend were not suspects but Gwyn told The Associated Press that the TBI hasn't cleared anyone, "no matter what their relationship" is to the victim.

http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/1108/04/ijvm.01.html

There are huge red flags for me in regards to Clint's changed story ... changed story regarding what he observed on the morning of April 13th ... changed story that was revealed by TBI John Mehr within three days of Holly's alleged abduction. Holly was not dragged into the woods. There were no drag marks. Holly walked into the woods.

There are also red flags when I consider Karen's words in interviews ... red flags that indicate to me that she may have been aware that Holly was not abducted but ... was going through the motions of a possibly fabrication that had been collaborated in the hours prior to her and Dana's departure from the home on the morning of April 13th.

IF it is revealed that there was no attempt by Karen and Clint to frantically contact Holly on her cell prior upon learning of the scream ... the scream which "mother's intuition" immediately told Karen that Holly was at risk ... an important dot would have been connected to support my skepticism that there was no abduction.

PARSONS, Tennessee (Isabelle Zehnder reporting)-- Tammy White, a very close friend of the Bobo family, said on Tuesday that as the three-month-mark of Holly's abduction approaches she can't help but reflect on the details of the morning that 20-year-old nursing student Holly Bobo was abducted from outside her Darden, Tennessee home.....

Karen followed her mother's intuition and asked a friend to ride home with her to see if everything was alright. She forgot her cell phone and borrowed her friend's to call Clint, Tammy said. ....

http://www.examiner.com/missing-persons-in-national/a-friend-reflects-on-the-morning-holly-bobo-went-missing

At this point in time ... I will not speculate on the underlying factors encompassing Holly demise and who is involved in covering up. However ... Karen and Clint stories that can't be kept straight and ... the fact that Karen stated that she talked to the elusive Drew on the morning of April 13th prior to being informed of the scream tells me the Clint, Drew, Dana and Karen have knowledge of the happenings in the hours preceeding the dawning of that day.

IMO

Why have hosts in current interviews afforded by Clint, Dana and Karen stayed clear of certain questions ... questions that inquiring minds have been demanding answers since the getgo? Are the interview qestions controlled.

1. Has Clint, Karen, Dana and Drew submitted to and passed polygraphs?

2. Did Karen and/or Clint frantically attempt to contact Holly on her cell prior to caling 911?

3. Did Clint frantically attempt to assist his sister when it was realized that she was at risk?

Did Drew spend the night at the Bobo house on the 12th? I can't think of any reason why Holly's mom would already have spoken to him before going to work that early in the morning. And did she see him leave, therefore her belief that he could not be at the house with Holly?

This is the first time I've been back here in a long while since the CA case. I just couldn't come. So, I really hoped when I came back today I would see more progress on this HB case. So disheartening!

Holly Bobo has been missing for five months now, and investigators have run out of leads pertaining to the young woman's case. As the case remains unsolved, friends and family members of the missing nursing student are planning a fundraiser.

Sources say that friends and family of missing nursing student Holly Bobo will be hosting a benefit fundraiser in the girl's honor on October 1st. With the young woman's reward nearly at $100,000.00, it seems that the family is trying pretty hard to raise a large amount of money. They've been selling t-shirts and decals as well, and a recent biker rally held in Holly's honor gave all of its profits to the family. It surely seems that albeit disastrous, the disappearance of Holly Bobo has proven lucrative to a certain extent.

Friends, family to hold fundraiser for Holly Bobo
Posted: Sep 08, 2011 3:51 PM CDT

PARSONS, Tenn. – Friends and family members of a missing 20-year-old nursing student are holding a fundraiser for her search efforts.

The fundraiser, which will benefit continuing search efforts for Holly Bobo will be held in Memphis on October 1.

Last month, the Hard Rock Café in Nashville hosted a benefit which raised more than $2,500 for the Bobo family

 ::snipping2::

I was driving on the interstate from Birmingham to Montgomery last week and I saw a picture/poster type advertisement on the back of an 18 wheeler.  It was a photo of Holly and said Bring Holly Home - asking for information on her.

Curiously, her hair was "up" in the photo.  I was wondering why that particular photo of her was chosen?  I certainly recognized her and knew who she was, but with her beautiful blonde hair, I questioned why they selected one of her hair up?  to profile her face more?  IDK - I am sure there is a reason.

Maybe the poster showed her hair up, in case it has been cut or changed. Mostly her face needs to be the focus, if she is alive and might somehow be out there someplace.

That makes sense to me, bebecat.   ::rhino::

Whitney Duncan Opens Up About ‘Survivor: South Pacific,’ New Music and Her Kidnapped Cousin Holly Bobo
By: Amanda Hensel  |  6 hours ago

Whitney Duncan will go from country singer to castaway when ‘Survivor: South Pacific’ kicks off tonight on CBS. The 27-year-old ‘Skinny Dippin” singer sat down with Country Music Is Love, where she dished about the show, her new EP, and — sadly — her cousin Holly Bobo, who is still missing after being kidnapped in April.

 ::snipping2::

In April, Whitney Duncan’s cousin Holly Bobo was kidnapped from her front yard early one morning while she was preparing to leave for school, and she has not been seen since. Duncan says that she kept her 18-year-old cousin in her mind while she was shooting, even though she wasn’t as in the loop as she would have liked to be. “I definitely talk about her on the show. It was difficult being away from my family and not knowing what was going on during filming,” she says, adding that while leaving was tough, it was something she had to do. “It was most definitely one of the hardest decisions I’ve had to make. After much discussion with my family, I decided it was best that I do the show. I would regret not doing it.”

The season premiere of ‘Survivor: South Pacific’ airs at 8PM ET tonight, September 14, on CBS.
 

...."C. BOBO: And then I got in touch with my mom and found out that Holly was supposed to be in school that morning and realized that that must have been her at the house and then I looked back out and saw Holly and a male walking towards the woods and that`s the last time I saw her."...


...."and that's the last time I saw her..." IOW, that's all I am going to talk about.

I get the impression that Clint was viewing this from a different place than inside the house.

What does he mean by "..realized that that must have been her at the house"...this is a very strange way of speaking and leads me to believe his viewpoint was from outside the house rather than in the house.

You need to provide links back to the quotes, please.  MB

When Holly's brother says he "got in touch with my mother" it reminds me so much of the Anthony's ridiculous phrase "we reached out".  I do not think these are the words of honest people trying to describe a situation.  These are words designed to hide something.  JMO

Sex Offender Sentenced in 3 Stalking Cases, Police Were Contacted by a Total of 13 Women Who Were Reportedly Approached by Nickell
CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION DIVISION
JACKSON POLICE DEPARTMENT
PRESS RELEASE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
DATE: September 16, 2011
BY: Chief Gill Kendrick

Sex Offender Sentenced in Three Stalking Cases, Jackson Police Were Contacted by a Total of 13 Women Who Were Reportedly Approached by Jason Nickell

On Friday, there was a sentencing hearing in Madison County Circuit Court wherein Jason Everett Nickell, 39, of Holladay, was charged with three counts of stalking. After hearing testimony from two of the women and a Jackson Police Investigator, the judge sentenced him to three consecutive sentences of 11 months and 29 days in jail. He will be eligible for release after serving a minimum of 75 % of the sentence. This was the maximum sentence allowed. He will serve his sentence in the Madison County Jail and will receive credit for time served following his April 16 arrest.

::snipping2:: & BBM.  I just figured out what has been bugging me about this statement.  He uses the term house dog.  Does that mean there were 'yard' dogs or 'field' dogs, if so where were they?  Using the term house dog seems odd to me, why not 'my' dog or 'our' dog or even i was awoken by the sounds of 'spot' or 'the' dog barking.  IMO, house dog is contrived and overly rehearsed to make it seem insignificant or an all out lie to cover what truly happened.

hi yuknomenot,FWIW
i grew up with folks that hunt,most of my relatives are from,w.va.,va.,tn.,nc.and their
term was hunting dog,sometimes yard dog was/is used if the dog is large and does not hunt
and lives outdoors because of its size,and a field dog is a bird dog,rabbit dog though you
dont hear the term field dog much anymore
most people keep their hunting dog/s in a fenced kennel with a dog house,and yard dog/s in
a dog house,though it can be the other way too,hunting dog no kennel and only a dog house
and from my experience if the outside dog barks,most dont pay attention to it unless it is
excessive barking,because they will bark at anything
if you look at mark 2:09 in this vid you can see a dog house to the left of the unattached
garage,and it looks like dog houses on the drive behind the unattached garage too,im thinking
no dogs live outdoors at the bobo,because you would seem them out looking at all the activity


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3d345Bokc98

Thanks for the explanation cw!  And that was part of the point I was trying to make, why the need to specify house dog.  It smacks of the type of TMI that comes with lies and obfuscation.

Not sure what this means if anything but got these tweets today:

Holly Bobo Thoughts and Comments Wanted by Jackson Sun
September 22, 2011 07:45 AM EDT

Holly Bobo has been missing now for over five months and investigators have released little to no information to the media. Still, some media outlets are trying to keep the story of the girl's disappearance alive. The Jackson Sun has been covering the case since the 20-year-old missing nursing student was first reported missing, and now they're recruiting the public for more details to keep in the media; even if it is local and on a small scale.

It's hard to imagine that five months ago the disappearance of Holly Bobo seemed to be booming with information and statements from the TBI and news anchors. Now it is almost as if the young woman never existed, with very few sources even mentioning her. The Jackson Sun doesn't want it to be like this evidently, and this article details that they want comments about the young woman by the 28th of this month.

In particular they are wanting people to share their ideas about the investigation and details surrounding the missing Tennessee woman's disappearance. You see, since the beginning the story has been that a mysterious man in camouflage led the girl into the woods behind her home as her 25-year-old brother watched -- and didn't intervene. The story has changed a few times, but as far as the TBI is concerned, this is due to communicative issues.

Public Comment on Holly Bobo Disappearance
 
1. ATTEMPT TO CONTACT HOLLY?

There are huge red flags for me in regards to Clint's changed story ... changed story regarding what he observed on the morning of April 13th ... changed story that was revealed by TBI John Mehr in a press conference within three days of Holly's alleged abduction. Holly was not dragged into the woods as originally reported. There were no drag marks. Holly walked into the woods.

There are also red flags when I consider Karen's words in interviews ... red flags that indicate to me that she may have been aware that Holly was not abducted but ... was going through the motions of a possibly fabrication that had been collaborated and staged in the hours prior to her and Dana's departure from the home on the morning of April 13th.

IF it is revealed that there was no attempt by Karen and Clint to frantically contact Holly on her cell prior upon learning of the scream ... the scream which "mother's intuition" immediately told Karen that Holly was at risk ... an important dot would have been connected to support my skepticism that there was no abduction.

2. IN THE PROCESS OF ELIMINATION

When Clint's changing story regarding his alleged observation encompassing the alleged abduction of his sister is considered ... could it be that ALL the answers pertaining to the demise and disappearance of Holly Bobo lie in the hours prior to Dana and Karen departure from the home on the morning of April 13th?

In the process of elimination in the Holly Bobo case ...

1. Was the Bobos'vehicles conficated and forensicly investigated.

2. Did Clint, Karen, Dana and Drew all submit to and pass polygraphs.

3. Was the Bobo home and property considered a crime scene ... a crime scene that was searched accordingly.

4. Were Clint, Karen, Dana and Drew ... those closest to Holly ... considered persons of interest and investigated accordingly.

Then Jesus asked them, “Would anyone light a lamp and then put it under a basket or under a bed? Of course not! A lamp is placed on a stand, where its light will shine.  For everything that is hidden will eventually be brought into the open, and every secret will be brought to light.  Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand.”

Friends, family to hold fundraiser for Holly Bobo

PARSONS, Tenn. – Friends and family members of a missing 20-year-old nursing student are holding a fundraiser for her search efforts.

The fundraiser, which will benefit continuing search efforts for Holly Bobo will be held in Memphis on October 1.

Last month, the Hard Rock Café in Nashville hosted a benefit which raised more than $2,500 for the Bobo family

According to one of the FB pages, Holly's mother cancelled it, as she had not authorized it...not sure which event.

Do you have a link where it says that?

We have all the info we need about why the benefit was ASKED not to happen..we all spoke to Mrs Bobo ourselves. That is between myself, my team, and them. Please dont post messages on what you believe, what Karen may or may not have said, or any kind of rumors here on my page. There is NO legal steps to having a benefit for someone...this isnt my first go round. But all that matters is we were asking NOT to do it, and im honoring that and going against everything i know and feel in my heart. I dont want to talk about it anymore..i am not healed yet and it hurts! Thank You , Ashlee

Public Comment on Holly Bobo Disappearance

FIRST RESPONDERS

The April 13th Kirsten Helm TBI news release leaves no doubt why three levels of LE responded to the 911 calls.

If on April 13th Clint claimed there had been a home invastion and ... he observed his sister dragged across the carport into the wood by a stranger ... it makes sense.

However ... if the changed story revealed two days later by TBI John Mehr in a press conference ... the changed story which implied that Holly was not dragged but walked into the woods by who Clint perceived to be her boyfriend ... I do believe the first  response by LE would have differed.

Holly Bobo Abduction: Week-in-review
Wed., April 13, Day 1: Recap from Decatur County Sheriff

There were questions as to why so many law enforcement agencies, including federal agents from the FBI and the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI), became involved in Holly’s case on day one. Sheriff Wyatt said they were taking every precaution that they knew to take.

“At this time,” he said,“whatever it might be, then that’s what we’re trying to prepare for.”

http://www.jacksonsun.com/VideoNetwork/903287890001/JS-Video-Sheriff-Wyatt-Kidnapping

Until the truth is revealed regarding Clint's changing story encompassing his alleged observation of an alleged abduction of his sister on the morning of April 13th ... I cannot move on.

I give TBI Kirsten Helm the benefit of the doubt that she had a firm foundation to derive from prior to posting an April 13th MEDIA RELEASE on the official TBI website ... an April 13th MEDIA RELEASE which stated that Holly was dragged from the carport into the woods by an unknown abductor.  Those word were not pulled out of think air.

I also give TBI John Mehr the benefit of the doubt that he had a firm foundation to derived from in his official April 16th press conference when the story changed. Holly was not dragged. There were no drag marks. Holly walked into the woods with who Clint perceived was her boyfriend.

Think about it. Clint was the only witness.

1. What did Clint state in his 911 call?

2. What did Clint state in his April 13th interrogation?

3. Why did the story change?  Could it be that Clint could not answer the question that inquiring minds inside and outside the investigation were asking from the getgo ... Why did Clint not frantically attempt to assist his sister who was being dragged into the woods? Why Clint did not jump onto an ATV?  Why Clint did not run after her?

The second account did answer the question that inquiring minds were asking but ... the changing story immediately case suspicion on Clint.  The truth does not change.

On the FB page where they explained about Holly's mom calling off the event, it is all gone now from the page...the whole conversation.

What a mess!!

Thanks bebecat.

THE EVOLVING HEIGHT AND WEIGHT

The changed story regarding Holly Bobo's abduction which was revealed by TBI John Mehr in an official media conference on April 16th implied that Clint perceived the male he observed "walking" into the woods with his sister was her boyfriend.
 
What is the height and weight of the elusive Drew Scott ... the elusive Drew Scott who Clint Bobo knew well?
 
Why did the height and weight of the alleged abductor evolve over time in official LE releases?  Considering Clint was the only alleged witness to the alleged abduction of his sister ... logic would dictate who was LE's source regarding the evolving description.

Official searches for Holly were called off at Easter due to weather conditions and ... official searches were never resumed.

Think about it. The end of the official searches ...the beginning of media silence from LE and ... the three month silence from the Bobo camp appeared to coincide.

After Easter ... why were Dana and Karen not beating a path to the door of LE demanding that searches were resumed?  Why were Dana and Karen not complaining in the media circuit? 

Could it be that Drew, Clint, Karen and Dana are the focus of LE suspicion?  In other words ... LE suspects that an abduction never happened.  It was all a fabrication/staging that took place in the hours prior to Dana and Karen's departure from the home on the morning of April 13th and ... Clint played a major role.  However without a body, hard evidence, witnesses and/or confessions ... the Holly Bobo case has come to a halt.

Public Comment on Holly Bobo Disappearance

I do not have any idea what happened to Holly but ... red flags were raised by inconsistencies in both Clint and Karen's own words in afforded interviews following three months of silence ... inconsistencies that defy the creation of a timeline/chain of events encompassing an alleged abduction.

Could the alleged abduction have been a fabrication collaborated in the hours prior to Karen and Dana's departure from home on the morning of April 13th ... a fabrication to cover up what actually happen to Holly ... a fabrication that neither Clint nor Karen could keep straight?

Considering Karen does state that she had contact with the elusive Drew Scott prior to being informed of the scream ... could it be that the elusive Drew has knowledge and was a participant in the cover up collaboration.

In other words ... could it be that an abduction never happened and ... Drew, Clint, Karen and Dana all hold the answers to the questions encompassing the demise and disappearance of Holly Bobo.

In the process of elimination in the Holly Bobo case did investigators initially focused on those closest to Holly. Were polygraphs requested? Were indepth interrogations conducted? Were vehicles confiscated? Were cell records and hard drives obtained? Were the Bobo and Scott residences considered crime scences and investigated accordingly?

Why have we never heard him or read even one sentence about Drew begging for Holly to be found? I sometimes wonder if they're together, FGS!

With no substantiation and pure speculation, it appears Clint is describing what happened from outside the house not inside.

Bumped

OK, Karen had spoke with her mother, Holly and Drew that morning prior to going to work and we haven't heard from any of these people. Who gave the description of the clothing Holly was wearing? At what time did Karen last see her daughter? What time did Karen leave for work? I know Parsons is close by and only about 12-15 min. away to the best of my kge, I assume karen worked in Parsons..seems like everyone did.

First 911 call came in @ 7:59am according to Sheriff Wyatt.

   http://scaredmonkeys.net/index.php?topic=9894.5;wap2

Some say there were FOUR calls...I wonder when they were received. Why hasn't tape of 911 been released?

Sometimes 911 tapes aren't released because it's an ongoing investigation. 

Clint cannot keept his story correct for a 20 minute interview. When his contradictions in the JVM interview are considered ... it makes sense that there have been no more afforded interviews by the Bobos.

C. BOBO: No, I assumed -- I was inside the house and I ASSUME THAT THAT WAS HOLLY AND HER BOYFRIEND DREW and he was dressed in full camouflage so I thought that Drew had been to the woods and killed a turkey and brought it back to the house and the two were sitting there over the turkey talking.

Holly Bobo's family expresses frustration
Posted: Sep 30, 2011 3:40 PM PDT
Updated: Sep 30, 2011 4:35 PM PDT

PARSONS, TN (WSMV) - Inside Holly Bobo's home, Holly's mother Karen Bobo starts each day the same way, with a call to the TBI.

"I call every day and ask 'is there anything you can tell me today,'" Bobo said.

For the last two months, she's been getting the same reply.

"Of course their answer is not today. We're just not hearing anything and of course almost six months into it just gets more frustrating every day and harder every day," Bobo said.

That's not the only thing frustrating the Bobo's. First there are the constant rumors, calls and visits from psychics claiming they have answers, and even friends wanting to help.

"I do kind of get in these panic attacks when I have to leave the house. Being out in public and thinking everybody is looking at me," she said.

Perhaps worst of all, Bobo said, are the vicious accusations against Holly's younger brother Clint Bobo.

"They don't know all the facts because, if they knew the facts, they would not be pointing the finger," Bobo said.

In fact, Bobo thinks that's what Holly's country singer cousin, Whitney Duncan, was tweeting about when she recently expressed anger with investigators.

"Any time anybody speaks negatively about Clint, Whitney is extremely defensive toward that," Bobo said.

Duncan later took the comment down and tweeted she was "frustrated as you can imagine any family would be."

Bobo said they'll stay that way until today ends and tomorrow investigators bring new answers.

"I want that day to hurry up and get over so that the next day can roll around and I can ask them 'anything you can tell me today?' hoping one day that there will be something. It will not go away until Holly is home with us," she said.

Recently community members planned a "birthday bash" for Holly's upcoming 21st birthday.  Family members got wind of it and nipped it in the bud. They said they don't want to celebrate anything until Holly is back home.

Bobo asked that anyone wishing to plan events or fundraisers contact the family first.

An Altercation?

There are those who claim that Clint had an altercation with the alleged abductor of his sister.

I don't buy it.

The implication would be that inaccurate information was coming from the lips of TBI John Mehr in an official press conference as well as Clint in the JVM interview.

Holly Bobo ‘In Fear of Her Life’
April 16, 2011

Mehr said investigators “did not see drag marks.” He added she was “not forcefully dragged and she’s like any other victim, maybe complying with her attacker, but she walked into the woods” outside her Pasrons, Tenn. home.

Bobo’s 25-year-old brother Clint watched from inside the home, but did not believe she was being abducted until later. He saw the stranger from behind and believed it was his sister’s boyfriend.

Her brother, said Mehr,“had reasons to believe [the man] was not an attacker,” and did not call 911 until he saw blood outside.

Could it be that TBI believes that an abduction did not happen and are suspicious that the Bobo's as well as the elusive Drew have knowledge of the truth but ... without a body, confessions, evidence or witnesses ... the case has come to a standstill.

Think about it.

1.  The official searches for Holly Bobo and the official media updates regarding the case ceased at Easter. Why.

2.  On April 18th ... TBI director stated that the family was not ruled out as persons of interest in the disappearance of Holly Bobo..

3.  There appears to have been a falling out between LE and the Bobo family.

Cell Phone Discovery?

Missing Holly Bobo Update: Cell Phone Found Roadside
By Robin Stanfill
Published Apr 25, 2011

<snipped>

The new evidence found during the search for Holly Bobo was her cell phone, found roadside on Hwy. 69.

Although law enforcement are not revealing any information concerning the "significant" item found during Sunday's search, a member of the search teams has revealed the item was believed to be Holly's cell phone.

Reportedly, the cell phone was located on side of the road on Hwy. 69 in Parsons, near Holly's father's place of employment, as well as Kolpack, a nearby factory, and the Tennessee Technology Center, where Holly was attending school.

Decatur County Sheriff Roy Wyatt has related that law enforcement received a tip Sunday, April 24, 2011, which lead the investigation and search for Holly Bobo into Northern Decatur County. The Sheriff stated that a tip was received by phone, prompting a search of the area, during the late evening hours of Easter Sunday. In the course of the search, a new item was discovered, which law enforcement considered "significant", and apparently substantial enough for the Decatur County rescue squad and volunteer firefighters to be dispatched in order to perform a specialized foot search of the area. Law enforcement are not revealing any further information about the lead or the item found, at this time.

Questions Not Asked

I speculate that Dana and Karen are not providing untruthful answers in interviews  but ... could it be that questions are controlled and ... questions that inquiring minds want answers to are not being asked.

1. Did Drew, Karen, Clint and Dana submit and pass polygraphs?

2. Did Karen and/or Clint attempt to contact Holly on her cell?

3. Did Clint attempt to assist his sister when he learned she was at risk?

4. Where where Holly, Clint, parents and the elusive Drew in the hours prior to Karen and Dana's departure from the home on the morning of April 30?

5. Who was the neighbour that contacted Karen at school and where does she live in relation to the Bobo home?

6. Why does there appear to be a falling out between the Bobos and LE?

7. Have Clint, Karen, Dana and the elusive Drew retained attorneys?

An Attempt to Contact Holly

Prior to calling 911 Karen has stated that following her "mother's intuition" that something was wrong in regards to the reported scream she called Clint ... she called Dana but ... nothing about calling Holly.

At no time after learning that his sister may be at risk does Clint mention in interviews that he frantically attempted to contact Holly on her cell. He has never stated that in an attempt to catch up with his sister and her alleged abductor that he ran into the woods or jumped on his ATV.

I would not have been able to hold my 13 year old grandson back if it was his 10 year old sister who was at risk. In other words this young man would have been more proactive than Holly's 25 year old brother.

Something is hinky.

Polygraphs?

Has Drew, Clint, Karen or Dana submitted to and/or passed a polygraph.

Think about it. Inquiring minds want to know but the polygraph issue has not been touch by hosts in any Bobo interview. Why?

Parsons, TN -

(WMC-TV) - The parents of missing West Tennessee nursing student Holly Bobo said they call the TBI every day hoping for a clue to their daughter's disappearance.

The waiting and not knowing has been painful for the Bobo family.  They said they have faced rumors from people in the area and constant speculation.

"I do kind of get in tense panic attacks when I have to leave the house, and of course I can have my house phone forwarded to my cell phone, but I still have a real problem with that or being out in public and thinking everybody is looking at me," said Holly Bobo's mother Karen Bobo.

Holly Bobo's brother, Clint Bobo, has been the target of most of the speculation.  He is the last person who saw her being led into the woods by her house.

(http://i604.photobucket.com/albums/tt126/jerseygirl12345/HollyBoboCase.jpg)

This picture reminds me of the pictures of Cindy Anthony in Caylee's room, completely posed and disingenuous.

Holly's cell phone? Considering my doubts that the alleged abduction ever happened ... I believe that Holly's cell phone was in the possession of her family or Drew Scott at the time of her demise. The lunchbox was planted as a part of the original fabrication and staging but the cell phone planting was a afterthought.

IMO

Answers to the follow questions directly from the lips of Clint, Karen, Dana and Drew as well as official answers from TBI/LE spokespersons have never been forthcoming. Why?

1. Did Karen and Clint attempt to contact Holly on her cell prior to the 911 call.

2. Did Karen and Dana drive separate vehicles.

3. What time did Karen and Dana leave the home.

4. Was Holly home when Karen claimed she spoke to her at 4:30 AM.

5. What was the reason Karen spoke to Drew prior to learning of the scream/s?

6. Was Drew at the Bobo home in the hours prior to the dawning of that day?

7. Did Clint, Karen, Dana and Drew submit to and pass polygraphs?

8. Have Clint, Karen, Dana and Drew obtained legal counsel and are no longer cooperating with the investigation?

9. Who is the neighbour/son who heard the scream and when does she/he reside in relation to the Bobo residence.

10. Were cell phone records requested and hard drives seized.

11. Why did Clint not attempt to assist his sister when informed she was at risk? Why did he not run into the woods ... jump on an ATV.

12. Was the Bobo and Scott residences/properties considered a crime scene and searched accordingly.

13. In the process of elimination were Clint, Karen, Dana and Drew ... those closest to Holly ... considered persons of interest and investigated accordingly?

14. Did Karen make Holly's breakfast and lunch prior to leaving for work?

15. Did Karen normally arrive at work prior to 7:30 AM?

16. Why was Clint home on the morning of April 13th?

17. Why did Karen speak to her mother prior to being informed of the scream/s?

18. Why has 911 calls never been released?

It makes sense that Karen would have shared in interviews all the happenings encompassing the time she last saw her daughter until the she placed the 911 call ... an approximate three hour span.

I seldom raise my voice but I was screaming at the television during the JVM interview ...

JAAAANE!! Ask Karen to provide from her perspective a timeline/chain of event encompassing EVERYTHING that took place from the moment she got up until she placed the 911 call.

So many questions that inquiring minds were anticipating answers to in that interview were not asked. Why? Was the interview that provided more questions/suspicion than answers controlled?

Janet ~ thank you so much for your continued questions/mullings over this incredibly strange case.  I check every day to read your questions and thoughts. Thanks.  ::MonkeyKiss::

Hi Janet  ::HelloKitty::  You've raised some interesting questions and believe me, I would like to know the answer to some of the questions too.  However, we need to keep in mind The State of Texas doesn't have The "Sunshine" Laws like Florida.  LE isn't going to release things such as the 911 calls in an ongoing investigation because it may compromise the investigation, unless it serves a purpose for solving the investigation.    The same with some of the other information.  They won't release information unless they feel it will help solve the case.  What purpose would it serve to solve the case if  all the information you listed were released?  It might in fact compromise the investigation by tipping off some people.  There are a lot of questions I'd like answers to too.   ::rhino::

MuffyBee

Are there any Tennessee missing person cases on the SM site?  A comparison in regards to the role of LE/TBI/FBI would be interesting.

Florida Sunshine Law?  The Casey Anthony case reveal 911 calls almost immediately and ... there were dump after dump of case documents release ongoing.

However, there are currently more than 200 exemptions on the books, scattered throughout the reams and reams of text of Tennessee Code Annotated. [2]

Janet, the Tennessee Open Records stuff looks complicated, but I've chosen the 911 recordings as a place to start, and here's what I found.  (Google is my friend) The point I was trying to make earlier is that not all states have the same laws in regard to transparency and such and it makes it very confusing.  Plus, there seems to be ongoing legislation to change things, as I can show here in the State of Tennessee.  These are recent.

SECTION 1. Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 7, Chapter 86, Part 1, is amended by

adding the following as a new section:

7-86-1__. Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, all 911 calls and

transmissions of such calls received pursuant to this chapter and all tapes containing

records of such calls shall remain confidential and be used only for the purpose of

handling emergency calls and for public safety purposes as may be needed for law

enforcement, fire, medical, rescue, dispatching, or other emergency services. The 911

calls shall not be released to any other parties without the written consent of the caller

whose voice is recorded, or upon order of the court.

SECTION 2. This act shall take effect upon becoming a law, the public welfare requiring it.

Freedom of Press and Information Act? Tennessee Senate Votes to Prevent Broadcast of 911 Calls
April 21, 2011

The Tennessee Senate has passed a Bill to block public rebroadcasting of 911 emergency calls without the written consent of the person whose voice is recorded.  According to Newschannel 9 the 23 to 8 vote bans media broadcasts of 911 tapes. That includes all recordings, including that final radio call for Sergeant Tim Chapin, which was played 2 weeks ago. The Senate’s amended version does not include banning written records of those calls. Meanwhile, the House is aiming to ban the text, and that’s where the bill is headed next according to Newschannel 9.

Is this information public record? The amended version of the Bill declares that such calls are public record , but does a limitation on rebroadcasting or publication of the transcript actually impede public access? Should the government be concerned about privacy rights of people who call 911 and protecting the dispatchers and police (who work for the public) from having their official radio conversations broadcast?  The Freedom of Information Act requires the release of any information related to any government agency or public agency, including emails sent and received by government employees and agents.  There are  notable exceptions such as  matters relating to national security, or information which is Germain to an ongoing investigation.  Obviously the public should not expect the police to release key information which would jeopardize a criminal investigation or release the names of certain witnesses and place them in danger, etc.  But 911 tapes and radio calls do not typically involve any of these issues.

Three days following the April 13th TBI Media Release which stated that Holly was "dragged" across the carport towards the woods ... another version was revealed in a press conference.  Holly was not "dragge"d ... she was not "forced" ... she "walked" towards the woods with who Clint perceived to be her boyfriend.

Considering investigators checked the Bobo property for "drag" marks implies that the words in the  April 13th Media Release reflected Clint's original statement.

Did the changing statement revealed April 16th by TBI John Mehr come about when investigators questioned Clint as to why there were no "drag" marks ... why he did not attempt to assist his sister who was at risk?

11:12 p.m. CDT, April 24, 2011

T-shirts bearing the favorite scripture of Holly's mother were sold for the Holly Bobo Fund.

The proceeds are not going to the reward fund, but to the Holly Bobo Fund.

D'Lynn Burton, a close family friend and neighbor, helped sell the shirts after working with Holly's mother on the design and wording.

"When Holly comes home,[Holly's mother] wants her to have some money so she can go on a vacation, or just treat herself with anything she wants."

So far 2,500 shirts have been sold at $12 apiece.

Considering TN has not been doing too well finding missing women (Holly, Gail Palmgren, Shelley Mook...) maybe their strategy of not saying a word isn't really working for them. Maybe it is time to let the public help, if they can...JMO

This is the oddest thing, yet I've seen from a parent of a missing child.  I am sorry but even The Anthony's had enough sense to not broadcast where the funds for vacations they took came from.   I can't imagine that a mother in the face of the gravity of the issues at hand, is mounting a T-shirt sale for a vacation for her missing daughter.  My Hinky Meter is going crazy!

Ockham's Razor
A rule in science and philosophy stating that entities should not be multiplied needlessly. This rule is interpreted to mean that the simplest of two or more competing theories is preferable and that an explanation for unknown phenomena should first be attempted in terms of what is already known

+++++

Bottom Line!

Considering the truth is constant ... the changing stories regarding the observations of the ONLY witness encompassing the alleged abduction ... the changing stories revealed by TBI spokespersons and ... the changing stories revealed in Clint Bobo's own words ... imply that an abduction never happened and Holly brother harbors the truth ... the truth regarding what happened to his his sister and ... the truth regarding others who have knowledge.

Everything else is speculation!

IMO

My speculations begin from one place of truth and ... that one place of truth is Clint Bobo's changing stories regarding the happenings encompassing the alleged abduction of his sister ... the changing stories that imply an abduction didi not happen.

I ask myself. "If the abudction did not happen in that 30 minute timeframe prior the placing of 911 calls ... when did something happen to Holly Bobo?"

I SPECULATE that Holly Bobo met her demise in the hours prior to the dawning of the morning of April 13th.

I SPECULATE that Karen, Dana, Clint and the elusive Drew all have knowledge.

I SPECULATE that a fabrication and staging was collaborated ... Clint played the staring role and ... others made certain they had alibis.

I SPECULATE that when Clint was chosen to play the staring role ... the staring role as a witness to an alleged abduction ... one crucial fact was overlooked ... the crucial fact that a fabricated story would requires a good memory as interrogations and interviews would dictate that fabricated story would have to be conveyed over and over again.

Janet

I also SPECULATE that Holly Hobo met an UNINTENTIONAL demise through an act of wrongdoing ... an act of wrongdoing which dictated that contacting 911 was not an option.
 

THE SCREAM

I speculate that the scream may have been staged to imply that Holly Bobo was alive at 7:30 AM on the morning of April 13th ... a time that Karen, Dana and Drew had alibis ... a time which would imply that Clint did not have the time to dispose of a body prior the arrival of LE.

WHO is this neighbour's "son" who allegedly heard the scream?

WHO is this neighbour who contacted Karen Bobo at work re the alleged scream?

WHERE does this neighbour and her son reside in relation to the Bobo residence ... distance and direction?

No answers to my questions have been forthcoming by TBI/LE spokespersons in their own words in media releases and/or press coferences. No answers to my questions have been forthcomig by Clint, Karen and/or Dana in their own words in afforded interviews.

Something is hinky.

Taking advantage of their 15 minutes of fame ... in the majority of high profile cases on this forum witnesses are making the talk show circuit revealing all they know ... reaping big bucks at the same time. However ... this neighbour and son are not even identified and quoted in the local publications.

I also SPECULATE that a conscience will prevail ... the truth will be revealed and ... justice for Holly Bobo will be realized.

There will be legal consequences but ... a heavy spiritual burden will be lifted.

1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness

In my speculations ... different scenarios abound but ... when all is said and done ... I am unsure who is covering for who but ... considering Karen was speaking to the elusive Drew on the morning of April 13th prior to learning of the "scream" and has admitted to texting him every day since ... my hinky meter tells me that Holly's boyfriend has an involvement.

Considering writer Jordan Buie has quoted Dana Bobo in regards to the last time he spoke to his daughter ... I believe that Dana did convey these words.

Do I believe that Dana had this exchange with Holly ... that is another story.

Family , Friends, Police Reconstruct Time before Holly Bobo’s abduction

DARDEN - Before dawn on April 13, Holly Bobo dressed for nursing school, ate breakfast and studied for a test. By 8 a.m. she had been abducted from her home in Darden and has not been seen since.

At 8:05 a.m., the first of several sheriff's deputies and other law enforcement pulled into the Bobos' driveway, 10 minutes from the time Holly was last seen by her brother Clint. Holly's mother, Karen, arrived moments later and her father, Dana, rushed home from work to learn about the abduction of their only daughter.

Wednesday is Holly's 21st birthday, and Thursday marks the six-month anniversary of her disappearance. The Jackson Sun spoke with family, friends and law enforcement to reconstruct the three and a half hours leading up to Holly's disappearance.

That morning, the woods outside Holly's home on Swan Johnson Road were chilly and damp. The National Weather Service in Memphis said the low temperature in Parsons, a few miles from Darden, was 41 degrees. An inch of rain fell the day before. Sunrise was at 6:23 a.m.

Inside the house, family members said, Holly woke up about 4:30 a.m. to study for a nursing exam she was scheduled to take at 8 a.m. at the Tennessee Technology Center of Jackson at Parsons.

Holly studied in the quiet of her room, as her parents and brother slept. Dana said he woke up right after Holly and saw that his daughter's door was shut.

"A lot of mornings before I leave, I'll ask her if she needs any money to buy gas," Dana said. "It is about 5:30 I guess, when I usually leave to go to work, and I talked to her through the door. She said leave her some money, and I left the money on the bar at 5:30 or 25 until 6, and that was the last I talked to her."

--

As Dana left for his job at McKenzie Tree Service, Karen woke up to get ready for her teaching job at Scotts Hill Elementary School. She went into Holly’s bedroom, where Holly sat on her bed to study.

“I leave the house to go to school at around 7,”Karen said.“And by that point (Holly) had already gotten up, put her clothes on and was sitting at the dining room table. I fixed her lunch and stuck her breakfast in the microwave, and I left for school.”
Right after Karen left, Holly spoke on the phone with Hannah Reece, her friend and fellow nursing student. Reece was the last of Holly’s classmates to speak with her.“I knew Holly before I started the nursing program, but at the start of the year she was just a nursing classmate,” Reese said.“By April, she was like my best friend.”
The morning Holly disappeared, Reece and Holly texted back and forth about their test that morning. Reece’s cell phone signal was weak.“So around 7 o’clock I called her on her cell phone from my house phone,” she said. Holly told Reece she was going to eat breakfast and put her shoes on and said goodbye.“All right, Weece,” Holly said, calling Reece by her nickname, I’ll see you. Love you.

Holly studied at the kitchen table for a few minutes, then got a call from her boyfriend, Drew Scott, who had been turkey hunting on the other side of Decatur County on Holly’ grandmother’s property. Since April 2, the opening day of turkey season, hunters from around the state had been entering the woods a

Pg 2 -
half hour before daybreak. One of Karen’s relatives did not recognize Drew and his dad and Drew explained to them that he was Holly’s boyfriend and that Holly’s grandmother, Karen’s mother, had given him permission to hunt on her 60 acres on the south end of the county. Drew called Holly and told her what happened. That was just before 7:30 a.m., according to the family.

A flurry of phone calls followed between Holly, Drew and Karen about the confusion of Drew hunting on grandmothers property, Karen said she last spoke to Holly between 7:30 and 7:35 while Clint was still asleep in his room.

Investigators have tried to determine what happened to Holly in the next 20 minutes.
Authorities say they need people to speak up if they saw anything out of the ordinary that morning.“I urge citizens to go back to that day and think if anything stands out to you,” said Decatur County Sheriff Roy Wyatt.“It may be something they saw that could lead to Holly.”

Reece said Holly usually arrives in class around 7:55 a.m., sometimes earlier. Karen said the drive from their home to the school in Parsons is about 10 minutes.“Holly usually leaves around 7:45, and that would put her getting to school at 7:55,” Karen said.“But, I figure that morning she was planning on being a little early because they had the big test.”

James Barnes, a neighbor of the Bobo’s, lives about 350 yards away in a mobile home beside his mother’s home. The neighbors are separated by a ravine and a small pond.

Barnes said he walked out of his home at about 7:40 that morning as he prepared to go to his construction job and heard a scream from the Bobo’s house. He told his mother, Cathy Wise, about the scream and went to work. Wise called the school where Karen taught and told a secretary she did not want to alarm Karen, but that her son heard a scream from the Bobo’s house. Karen was in the cafeteria away from her cell phone, and a secretary found her and relayed the message.

Clint, who is 25, woke up around this time and called his mother. He did not hear the scream.“The dog woke me up barking, and I looked out front and expected to see the electric truck or something,” Clint said.“I woke up about 7:50 and I expected to see someone checking the meter, but I didn’t see any vehicles.“I looked out the window and saw Holly’s car still here, and I knew she wasn’t in the house because I had looked in her room,” Clint said.“That’s when I called Mom to ask her if Holly had caught a ride with someone or if she didn’t have school but she didn’t answer.

Karen said she did not answer her son’s call because she left her phone in a classroom. After she received the message from the secretary, she went into the school library, not far from the cafeteria, and called home to ask if everything was OK.

When Clint answered the phone he said Holly’s car was still at the house.“At that point I knew something was wrong because Holly should have already gone to school,”

Clint said he had talked to Holly's boyfriend the night before, and Drew told him he was going turkey hunting the next morning, but Drew had not specified where he was going to hunt. Clint said that even after he talked with his mother, he still did not know Drew was hunting on grandmother’s property that morning.

Pg 3-
“It was after I spoke with (Mom) that I walked into the kitchen and looked out the window and saw (Holly) and a man dressed In camouflage walking toward the woods,” Clint said. I called Holly’s cell phone, and it rang five times and went to voice mail, and I called Drew’s phone also, and the same thing happened. What that assured me was that they were in the same place because neither one of them answered their cell phone.”

The Bobo’s live in Decatur County, but the first time Karen called 911 she said she reached Henderson County dispatch. After a few moments, frustrated, she called the house again, and Clint told her that Holly and Drew were out at the edge of the yard walking toward the woods.

“Oh, my God, Clint!” Karen told her son.“That is not Drew! Call 911!”

Karen said she panicked, but her co-workers didn’t understand her concerns. It was like I knew, but I couldn’t make anybody else understand,” she said.“People were like,“Calm down, Karen,” the secretaries, the principal. I know at one point I fell on the floor, and everybody at school just thought I was in this panic.

Clint described the man as wearing a non-insulating type of camouflage a turkey hunter might wear and said that he couldn’t see the man’s face or hands He believes he might have been wearing gloves and a cap. He said both Holly and the man had their backs turned to him. Clint told investigators the man was between 5 feet 8 inches and 6 feet tall and weighted around 200 pounds.

Karen said she told Clint to get a gun and go after the man. She hung up to call 911 again and reached Decatur County. She still had (cut off)

Clint got a loaded pistol, walked out of the back door and went through an open garage attached to the house, that's when he saw a puddle of blood near Holly’s car.“When I walked out the back door, I saw a small puddle of blood, and I still wasn’t alarmed because who I thought was with her boyfriend was dressed in camo,”

Clint said.“I thought,“He’s killed a turkey up here on this trail behind the house and brought it to the house to show Holly before she goes to school.”“The thing is there was not a turkey,” Clint said,“I wondered why they would take the turkey back to the woods unless they were walking back to put the turkey in his truck. I was not worried until the neighbor pulled up and said her son heard screams.”

As Clint walked toward the woods, Cathy Wise, the neighbor, pulled up in the driveway because the secretary at school had asked her to go to the Bobo home and make sure everything was OK.

“The neighbor pulled up and she said she heard screams about 15 to 20 minutes ago and that was about 8 o’clock,” Clint said “At that time, I had my phone on my side or in my hand and I don’t think I spoke to her, I just called.

Clint said that as he was dialing 911 he could hear the engine of the first patrol car coming up Swan Johnson Road, responding to his mother's call, and that the first deputy arrived in less than 10 minutes from when his sister walked toward the woods with the man in camouflage.

Karen showed up shortly after the neighbor and the first patrol car. Terrie Bromley, a friend from school, had driven her home. Drew was at his job at the city of Parsons at 8 a.m., and Dana Bobo said he arrived home from work at about 8:30 a.m.

Pg 4-
Officials have said they think Holly’s abductor was familiar with the winding roads and rolling landscape of Decatur County, and that Holly was abducted as she tried to get into her car to drive to school.

As the nursing exam began at 8 a.m., Holly’s friend and classmate, Britney Brown, looked around the room for her study partner who she said never missed class. When Holly was not there, her heart dropped.“If you miss a test, it’s nearly impossible to pass a make-up test,” Brown said. Holly usually walks in five to 10 minutes before a test starts, and she doesn’t miss.“When she was not here at the start of the test, I started to cry because I thought she had been in a car accident,” she said.“When I told the teacher I thought something bad had happened to Holly.

"She is such a sweet and kind person who would never judge anybody," Brown said.“She’s very grown-up and respectful and modest. She was the kind of girl who never did anything on her own and who only felt secure when she was at home.”
Hannah Reece also said Holly is quite and did little other than study, spend time with family and ride four-wheelers with her boyfriend. She mostly stayed at home, Reece said.

Karen said Holly is shy at first, but funny and loud in he own little comfort.” Now, the family struggles to find any normality or routine in their lives without Holly.

Clint said he has to take medication to sleep because he feels uneasy at night. He took an incomplete in his senior social work classes at the University of Tennessee Martin and quit his jobs at two nursing homes.

Dana has returned to work, and said that has helped him to talk to people which sometimes takes his mind off the fact that his daughter is still missing.

Karen says her days are consumed with the search for holly. She said she will not give up” Nothing is the same and I don't feel like anything will be the same without Holly," Karen said. "I still feel like there is somebody out there who knows something, but isn’t telling it. It may be something normal, something they have not previously realized would be important."

In other word the writer of this Jackson Sun article does not state ANYTHING about Clint Bobo alleged observations except Holly's vehicle was still at home.

Every time Clint is interviewed ... the story in that 30 minute timeframe on the morning of April 13th changes.

C. BOBO: I was asleep in my bedroom and I was awoken by the sounds of our house dog barking.

VELEZ-MITCHELL: And what did you see?

C. BOBO: I saw the silhouette of two people in our garage. At the time I had no idea who either one of the people were. And then come to realize later that that was my sister and her abductor.

VELEZ-MITCHELL: Wait, in the garage?

You were -- how do you -- when you`re asleep -- I`m just trying to get a picture. You`re asleep and then how do you see what`s going on in the garage? Ok, the dog barks, you wake up. Are you on the same level -- it`s all one floor.

C. BOBO: Right. Yes, we have a one story house?

VELEZ-MITCHELL: And you walk into the garage?

C. BOBO: No, I saw them from inside the house and they were outside the house in the garage.

VELEZ-MITCHELL: They were in the garage or outside the garage?

C. BOBO: They were inside the garage.

VELEZ-MITCHELL: Ok so as you watched, it was a man inside the garage with your sister and then what happens?

C. BOBO: And then I got in touch with my mom and found out that Holly was supposed to be in school that morning and realized that that must have been her at the house and then I looked back out and saw Holly and a male walking towards the woods and that`s the last time I saw her.

thank you for the updates janet

now that we know a few more details,i got to thinking some more about how could holly, and by whom be abducted from her home,and i think dad/dana supplied the answer.
thinking holly abductor knew her,but from where? her friend weece said she sees mostly fam,and BF,and the fam says the same thing,so maybe her abductor works along her route to school,she stops at least once a weekfor gas,maybe holly had a stalker at which ever gas station she stopped
at usually.
is there a local here that thinks any of the guys/gals are.........at the gas stations on holly route

Faith, prayers sustain family of Holly Bobo
Posted on Oct 11, 2011 | by Lonnie Wilkey

DARDEN, Tenn. (BP) -- Nearly six months have passed since 20-year-old Holly Bobo was abducted from her home in rural Tennessee. A massive search effort involving hundreds of volunteers took place with no results.

There is still no word on her whereabouts or who took Bobo, a nursing student, but family and friends have not given up hope that she will return.

"We believe she is still alive. There is no evidence to the contrary," Don Franks, pastor of Corinth Baptist Church in Darden, Tenn., where Bobo's family are members.

"We are praying that we will be able to find her and bring her home to her family."

Faith and prayers have sustained the family during this traumatic time, Holly's mother Karen Bobo said.

"Every day I pray that this will be the day Holly returns. It hasn't happened yet. We are still waiting for that day," she said.

 ::snipping2::

The family has remained active in their search for Holly, primarily by posting flyers and passing out business cards with Holly's picture and phone numbers to call should anyone see her.

Holly's brother is in the process of placing flyers at gas stations and rest areas within a 100-mile radius of Decatur County, including Memphis and Nashville, Tenn., Murray, Ky., and Corinth, Miss. In addition, friends and family members have placed flyers throughout the South as they travel for vacation and business.

 ::snipping2::

Something still troubles me about one of the characters mentioned. That person would be "B Barnett", "the infamous ex-boyfriend". For someone who was rumored to be so upset that Hollie broke up with him he has not once mentioned Holly on his facebook. In the first week he was criticized for some vulgar pictures and comments he had on his facebook (animal bestiality) among other things. Then there were the photos of him with Holly eating out and the crude comment below the photo that he wrote. His facebook is wide open, always has been. Almost like he is taunting LE. His comments continue to be crude and vulgar and again, never a peep regarding Holly or her family. I think he had every reason to want to hurt Holly. His families past is less than stellar as well....JMO but he bothers me.

Whitney Duncan’s Cousin Holly Bobo Still Missing on Her 21st Birthday
By: Amanda Hensel

It’s been six months since Holly Bobo, cousin of country singer and ‘Survivor’ star Whitney Duncan, was kidnapped from her Tennessee home as she was preparing to leave for nursing school on April 13. October 12 marks Bobo’s 21st birthday, and what would normally be a celebration has become deep pain for the family in light of her disappearance.

“Today is Holly’s 21st birthday…keep her in your prayers please,” Duncan, who appears on the fall season of ‘Survivor: South Pacific,’ tweeted early Wednesday. Bobo’s family has not given up hope that they may find the University of Tennessee Martin student alive, but at this point, all they can do is pray.

“Every day I pray that this will be the day Holly returns. It hasn’t happened yet. We are still waiting for that day,” Bobo’s mother, Karen Bobo, said. “We are holding on to the hope and have faith that she is still alive and that we will get her back. We just don’t know when.”

Holly Bobo's family questions early handling of investigation
12:03 AM, Oct. 13, 2011

When Holly Bobo disappeared on the morning of April 13, the first Decatur County sheriff's deputy arrived at her family's home shortly after 8 a.m., about 10 minutes after Holly's brother, Clint, said he saw Holly walk into the woods with a man dressed in camouflage.

Today marks six months since Holly's abduction, and investigators remain tight-lipped about the case. Her family still clings to hope she will be found, but they have raised questions about how authorities initially handled the investigation.

The Bobo family said they are concerned as to why an immediate, comprehensive search was not done of the woods where Holly, then 20, was taken and that they believe a large portion of people who came onto their property that morning were a hindrance to the investigation. Other neighbors and searchers say a lack of organization seemed to complicate the investigation. Law enforcement officials deny this, despite multiple people describing what one searcher called "a mess."

Decatur County Sheriff Roy Wyatt said as soon as deputies arrived, they took a statement from Clint and began searching where Holly was last seen. No one caused a hindrance to the investigation, he said.

6 Months Pass After Tenn. Woman's Abduction

 ::snipping2::

While they have been checking out every lead, Tennessee Bureau of Investigation spokeswoman Kristin Helm said their investigation has stayed focused on the area around her home.

"They are still concentrating on the geographical area of Parsons and Darden and the people there," Helm said.

No additional physical ground searches were planned, Helm said.

"The best clues that we have is everything that was found and the eyewitness account from the crime," Helm said. "That's the best information we have to work off of."

Still the frustration level for everyone is high as no arrests have been made and no suspects announced.

 ::snipping2::

Bobo's mother Karen left her job as a teacher to devote her time to spreading the word about her daughter's abduction and searching. Her father, Dana, and older brother, Clint, have gone back to work part-time, but they spend their days off traveling throughout the region and even into other states to hand out fliers, Bromley said.

Until then, citizens continue to wear tee shirts, put decals on their vehicles, and decorate mailboxes with pink ribbons in support of the Bobo family and pray that Holly will return home safe to her family soon.

Tennessee's first deer season since Holly Bobo went missing last April is upon us, and that has the Decatur County sheriff asking hunters for help.

With hunting season here, authorities know there are going to be a lot more people out there in the woods than usual, and they ask hunters to be on the look-out for anything unusual that could help in the investigation.
 ::snipping2::
Local hunters said they are more than willing to take that extra glance when out. They said when you are in the woods scouting for deer, you notice things that are out of place. Many residents said they are always looking, not a day goes by when they are not thinking about Bobo.

With other missing person cases springing up; like recent Dyer County mother, Karen Swift, officials encourage all hunters in any area to always be aware of your surroundings

After reading the article again, I see CB says the male was wearing turkey camo. I know nothing about the lifestyle there but have been informed that they wear camo often down there...I didn't know there were different types of camos for different occasions. If Clint said Turkey Camo, doesn' that narrow the playing field down...LIKE ALOT? Clint is not going to be confused, I don't want to hear it. He is a turkey hunter himself. He knows about the camo worn. I researched it and it is distinguished from the military type camo I was familiar with. It looks very different from military camo.

Yes, Clarice, there is alot of different types of camo that hunters and the military use.  I know deer hunters typically use one kind for the fall and another for the winter (leaves and no leaves, etc.).

Paragliders Offer Services In Holly Bobo Search
Posted: Dec 13, 2011 8:03 AM CST
Updated: Dec 13, 2011 8:05 AM CST

DECATUR COUNTY, Tenn. - It's been more than six months since Holly Bobo disappeared. Now, a stranger to the family is stepping in to help.

Dave Dubin contacted Bobo's mother to offer his service. He and other paragliders searched ground that investigators have not been to. Dubin said Bobo's mother is concerned that more needs to be done in the search for her daughter.

"Mrs. Bobo says she has some charts to look at when we get up there today. She mentioned that the TBI had some areas that they want us to look at as well," said Dubin.

The church Holly Bobo's family attends in Decatur County will have a special New Year's Eve night watch service this year in honor of the missing nursing student.

In years past, members of the church have met and read nonstop through the Bible, according to a news release. This year, the church will usher the old year out and the new year in by reading through the list of names from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

Search warrant issued after accusation of hindering Bobo case


Posted: Jan 06, 2012 3:57 PM CST
Updated: Jan 06, 2012 6:45 PM CST
Reported by Jeremy Finley - email

NASHVILLE, TN (WSMV) -
An Ohio man is being investigated by both the TBI and the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigations for obstructing the investigation into Holly Bobo, the Channel 4 I-Team has learned.

On Wednesday, investigators with the TBI and the BCI served a search warrant at the East Liverpool home of Tony Calabrese.

Investigators seized his computer and other belongings, and Calabrese said he and his roommate were questioned for hours.

The TBI tells the Channel four I-Team Calabrese has been obstructing their investigation by soliciting leads and stating that his tactical search and rescue team is finding clues on the case.

A TBI spokeswoman said Calabrese is not a suspect in Holly's disappearance, but has been obstructing their investigation by soliciting leads and portraying that his search and rescue team is actively investigating on their own.

The Channel 4 I-Team spoke with others who said that Calabrese mislead them into believing he was with law enforcement.

Sheriff: Remains of small female found in Loudon Co. shed
Authorities are treating the death of a small female whose remains were found in a Loudon Co. shed as a homicide, according to Loudon Co. Sheriff Tim Guider.

LENOIR CITY, Tenn. (WVLT) -- Authorities are treating the death of a small female whose remains were found in a Loudon Co. shed as a homicide, according to Loudon Co. Sheriff Tim Guider.

The remains were found wrapped in a decomposing comforter by two men who said they were looking for scrap metal, District Attorney General Russell Johnson explained. The pair came across a fallen shed in a wooded area near Eblen Road around 6:30 p.m. When one of them picked up the comforter to see what was wrapped in it, a skull rolled out and a sun bleached bone stuck out of the wrapping.
Click here to find out more!

Investigators returned on Friday and, with the help of the UT Regional Forensics Center and a forensic anthropologist, Dr. Murray Marks, identified the skull and the remains as those of a female. They have not given an age or race yet. Marks estimated the body had been there for several years, but said he would need to examine the remains further to determine exactly how long. The body was taken to UT Forensics Lab.

The TBI and the 9th District Attorney General's Office have joined in the investigation. Also, since the remains were found near the Roane Co border, Sheriff Jack Stockton was called in to observe. Stockton said he has at least two missing female cases from several years ago that his department has been working as cold cases.

The property is owned by Howard Eblen, who is currently at an assisted care facility in Knoxville.

Hopefully the body will be quickly identified and some family can bring their loved one home.

When looking at the Bobo house and the carport (called a garage by Clint), there is no way to see anything in the carport unless observing through a kitchen window, if there is one directly in front of garage. If you did this the person/people in the carport would also see you.

My instincts tell me he was observing from a different vantage point. His words lead me to believe he was outside the house, not inside as he says.

If Holly was kneeling down and he could see her, he wasn't looking out the kitchen window if it is normal height (as if over a sink) because he would not see them kneeling unless they were almost out of the carport cover. If so, then he would know who the people were. He says "Silhouettes". What time was he really talking about? That term is light driven. That would put Holly and perp inside with a light on and the viewer outside of the area with a screen/shade between them.

It almost seems as if Clint was driving towards the house when this crime was occuring. I notice he uses the word house instead of "home".

..."My sister wasn't supposed to be at the house" seems like distancing, viewing from outside.  If he had said, "My sister wasn't supposed to be home" sounds like they were both together in a home situation...and close, nearby each other.

BBM
Your post is very interesting and does raise some questions.  I just wanted to say though that the  use of the word "house" instead of "home" is something very common around here.  For example "Come on over Friday, we'll be out at the house all day".   If I called my son on his cell and asked him where he was, he could very well say "I'm at the house", instead of saying he's home.  Maybe it's a Texas thing or even a southern thing.  JMHO 

Thanks for sharing about the word house vs. home. I was thinking that they both together would call it a home instead of a house but if they were not in the home together they would call it "The house". IDK, anymore. This case is the most peculiar case I've researched. There is something "Off" in the telling of the events.

My gut instinct tells me Clint was not recalling this crime from inside the home. I do not know 'Southern Talk" but somehow I think most of us can tell about events without many being confused.

Why aren't these people screaming for the release of Holly? The parents, brother, boyfriend and friends are noticeably absent. Frankly, I need to stay away from these cases in the rural South. I don't understand the culture...and I tend to think the "Good Ole Boys" network is alive and thriving.

TBI: Sex Offender Stalking West TN Women
By Emily Cassulo
By ecassulo@wbbjtv.com

Story Created: Jan 31, 2012 CST

Story Updated: Jan 31, 2012 at 7:54 PM CST
A Decatur County man officers said is a violent sex offender is off the streets Tuesday after being indicted by a Madison County grand jury.

The convicted sex offender has a record that dates back more than three decades and spans at least two states.

Terry Britt, 53, now faces new charges in Madison County, and investigators fear there could be even more victims.

Investigators said Britt has been on the Tennessee Sex Offender Registry since the 1970s.

Terry Britt's neighbors said they always knew he was a sex offender, but never knew just how violent his offenses are.
 ::snipping2::
He's been alleged that he would go out and pick up girls and ladies and then take them somewhere," said John Mehr, Special Agent in Charge, TBI.

Agent Mehr said Britt is accused of picking up the women in vans, similar to the ones found outside his house in Parsons, and officers said he did not always work alone.

"We don't feel that this is an isolated incident, that he would drive around with another individual and possibly seek out their victims," Mehr said.

Investigators said Britt has a violent criminal record in at least four Tennessee counties, and even in North Carolina.

In Decatur County, he most recently was charged with violating the sex offender statute, and driving on a revoked license.

Investigators do believe there could be other victims. If you have information about any suspected criminal activity by Terry Britt, call the TBI hotline at 1-800-TBI-FIND.

Sex Offender Arrest Could Have Ties to Holly Bobo Case

 ::snipping2::
Britt lives in Parsons, Tennessee, the same town as Holly Bobo. Right after Bobo disappeared, people on online message boards started blaming Britt.

Investigators have not confirmed if he's a suspect in Bobo's disappearance, but they do believe there are more victims.

Britt is currently being held at the Madison County Jail.

PARSONS, Tenn. (AP) - A spokesman for the family of a missing Decatur County nursing school student says the reward for her safe return has been increased to $250,000.

ISSUES WITH JANE VELEZ-MITCHELL
Aired August 4, 2011 - 19:00:00 ET

VELEZ-MITCHELL: When you saw them kneeling down did you think to ask them or approach them? How far away were you?

C. BOBO: No, I assumed -- I was inside the house and I assumed that that was Holly and her boyfriend Drew and he was dressed in full camouflage  so I thought that Drew had been to the woods and killed a turkey and brought it back to the house and the two were sitting there over the turkey talking. After I saw the blood, I thought that was blood of a turkey that Drew had killed.

Holly Bobo ‘In Fear of Her Life’
April 16, 2011

Bobo’s 25-year-old brother Clint watched from inside the home, but did not believe she was being abducted until later. He saw the stranger from behind and believed it was his sister’s boyfriend.

http://www.cbsnews.com/2300-504083_162-10007417-18.html?tag=page;next

It cannot be forgotten that there is an alleged witness to the alleged abduction of Holly Bobo. Clint Bobo claims he observed his sister walking into the woods with who he perceived to be her boyfriend. Drew Scott's built does not equate that of Terry Britt.

I consider the latest “update” nothing but a distraction from the truth encompassing Clint’s changing stories regarding his observations the morning his sister went missing.

I think you are right CW about the lunch bag. I wish they would clear up the "full camouflage" the perp was wearing. To me full camo also includes the head gear like a ski mask. If that is the case, I wonder if Clint was just assuming that it was Drew because he was supposed to be hunting that morning on family property. I wish he would elaborate on why he thought it was Drew. I find it interesting the reward jumped substantially with the arrest of the Britt guy. Britt was supposed to be in court today but I haven't seen anything today yet regarding that.

Clint Bobo locked himself into a story that is hard to retreat when he has claimed repeatedly in interviews that he had assumed the male who walked into the woods with Holly was her boyfriend.  Terry Lee Britt may be scum but ... I don't believe that he was involved in the disappearance of Holly Bobo.  IMO

$500K bail set in kidnap, sex assault case; next court date set for March for Terry Lee Britt
9:01 PM, Feb. 6, 2012

<snipped>

Mehr has declined to comment on whether there could be a connection between Britt and the case of Holly Bobo, who was abducted from her home near Parsons in April and has not been found. Mehr has said it is routine to question anyone arrested on sex offenses in the area about the Bobo case.

Considering the truth regarding the disappearance of Holly Hobo has not been revealed ... speculation is where it is at.

Could it be that an act of wrongdoing cause the unintentional demise of Holly prior to the rising of the sun on April 13th ... perhaps on April 12th and ... the scenario encompassing the alleged abduction was a collaborated coverup effort by Karen, Dana, Clint and the elusive Drew prior to Holly's parents leaving the home that morning?

Could this account for Clint's inconsistencies regarding his observations of the alleged abuction? Think about it. It is said the truth never changes. It is also said that lying requires a very good memory.

Hi Cartfly

 ::HelloKitty::

Other than a wonderful (hot) week in October with two grandkids (8/10) at Disneyland and ... a couple of short getaways to Vancouver Island to visit eldest son and family ... hubby and I have stayed close to home.

Although my position of speculation has not changed regarding the Holly Bobo case ... I am thankful that incidences do arise which imply that media attention is once again focused on this beautiful young lady.  My worst fear is that the disappearance of Holly will become a distance memory and ... something akin to so many of the cases discussed on this site ... justice will forever remain elusive.

Janet

You are so right Janet! At least this Britt stuff is bringing much needed attention to Holly again. Any attention could get someone talking. I was getting worried too about this becoming a cold case. I pray LE knows what the heck they are doing.

You have made some great points Janet. I do not understand the changing stories from Clint. What could his motive be to hurt his sister? He seems so shy and meek.... (jmho)
 I wish we knew more about him, but no one is talking....

I also still can't get past the abrupt halt on Easter regarding the searches...... I can't recall a case shrouded with this much mystery before....ugh, praying for answers for poor Holly.

Cartfly

Considering my theory implies that Holly met an unintentional demise prior to the morning of April 13th ... an unintentional demise as a result of "wrongoing" ... maybe drug related ... it is my prayer that a conscience will prevail and the truth will be revealed. There will be consequences but a burden will have been lifted.

I suspect that the "wrongdoing" is the reason that a cover up was an automatic response ... an automatic response to protect those involved.

Janet

Thanks for clearing up you theory for me. I hope we have answers soon.

"I looked out the window and saw Holly's car still here, and I knew she wasn't in the house because I had looked in her room," Clint said. "That's when I called Mom to ask her if Holly had caught a ride with someone or if she didn't have school, but she didn't answer."

“It was after I spoke with (Mom) that I walked into the kitchen and looked out the window and saw (Holly) and a man dressed In camouflage walking toward the woods,” Clint said. I called Holly’s cell phone, and it rang five times and went to voice mail, and I called Drew’s phone also, and the same thing happened. What that assured me was that they were in the same place because neither one of them answered their cell phone.”

ISSUES WITH JANE VELEZ-MITCHELL
Aired August 4, 2011 - 19:00:00 ET

C. BOBO: I was asleep in my bedroom and I was awoken by the sounds of our house dog barking.

VELEZ-MITCHELL: And what did you see?

C. BOBO: I saw the silhouette of two people in our garage. At the time I had no idea who either one of the people were. And then come to realize later that that was my sister and her abductor.

VELEZ-MITCHELL: Wait, in the garage?

You were -- how do you -- when you`re asleep -- I`m just trying to get a picture. You`re asleep and then how do you see what`s going on in the garage? Ok, the dog barks, you wake up. Are you on the same level -- it`s all one floor.

C. BOBO: Right. Yes, we have a one story house?

VELEZ-MITCHELL: And you walk into the garage?

C. BOBO: No, I saw them from inside the house and they were outside the house in the garage.

VELEZ-MITCHELL: They were in the garage or outside the garage?

C. BOBO: They were inside the garage.

VELEZ-MITCHELL: Ok so as you watched, it was a man inside the garage with your sister and then what happens?

C. BOBO: And then I got in touch with my mom and found out that Holly was supposed to be in school that morning and realized that that must have been her at the house and then I looked back out and saw Holly and a male walking towards the woods and that`s the last time I saw her.

If a conscience does not provoke someone who ... out of a warped sense of loyalty ... has kept quiet regarding his/her knowledge of the deception encompassing the alleged abduction of Holly Bobo ... the private donor may be hopeful that a substantial reward will motivate.  IMO

Well, it isn't Holly but someone else loved one:

LENOIR CITY, Tenn. (AP) - Skeletal remains found last month in Loudon County have been identified as a Knoxville woman missing more than six years.

According to The Knoxville News Sentinel, Loudon County Sheriff Tim Guider said Thursday that 35-year-old Pamela Knight was identified through dental records.

The remains, found Jan. 19 in a secluded area, were wrapped in what authorities said appeared to be a blanket or comforter. The body was in the debris of an abandoned shed that had fallen to the ground.

East Liverpool man's involvement in case of missing Tennessee woman questioned

Updated: Feb 10, 2012 10:24 PM EST

COLUMBIANA COUNTY, Ohio -

 ::snipping2::

It has been nearly 10-months since 20-year-old nursing student Holly Bobo disappeared. She was last seen in April walking into the woods near her home with a man in camouflage.

The missing woman's mother, Karen Bobo, made a plea to the public asking for help in finding her daughter, and hundreds of people responded to her cries for help searching the wooded area along with police.

Thousands of miles from Tennessee, here in the Mahoning Valley, a laid-off home builder with no connection to Holly Bobo also wanted to help.

Tony Calabrese of East Liverpool set up a website that featured photos of the missing young woman and solicited leads, saying he would pass the information on to investigators.

Calabrese says, "I'm just your average normal guy that got intrigued by a case." Calabrese says he specifically organized a tactical search and rescue team to assist in the case, but the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation tells 21 News the search team does not exist.

The East Liverpool man says by soliciting information on the case he received what he perceives as a confession from the man who possibly abducted Holly.

He doesn't want to provide any further information to reporters on that person saying he doesn't want to jeopardize the case.

But he tells 21 News when he forwarded the information to the Tennessee governor, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, that's also referred to as TBI, felt threatened.

Calabrese says TBI accused him of interfering in the Holly Bobo case.

Tennessee authorities subsequently raided his East Liverpool home in January confiscating computers and other items. According to Calabrese, "It has literally ruined my life. I have literally been harassed online because of it."

Internet posts on websites make it clear some members of the community where Holly Bobo lives are also not interested in the Ohio man's help on the case. One person referred to Calabrese as a "scary person." Another person wrote, "I don't believe anything that man says."

When asked if he has an unhealthy interest in the case, Calabrese admits that normally he would agree with that. However, he says if Tennessee investigators check the facts they would see that his own children were kidnapped in 1999 and that's a major reason he has an interest in the case.

Calabrese's children were found with family members unharmed, no charges were ever filed.

As for Holly Bobo's case, Kristin Helm with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation says, "Anytime there is a lot of reward money at stake in a high profile case it is not unusual for people to try and monopolize on the money trying to ‘help.' Instead it can create rumor and speculation and not result in the evidence and facts needed by law enforcement to solve a case."

In this case the state has put up a $85,000 reward, and just recently an anonymous donation came in raising the reward to $250,000.

The TBI goes on to tell 21 News that Calabrese is not a suspect in Holly's disappearance, but the TBI does believe he obstructed it's investigation and a case on Calabrese is open and ongoing as the evidence from his home is analyzed.

Calabrese says he just wants to help a mother find her missing daughter and he does not accept donations or rewards for any help that is offered.

School Sponsors ‘Bring Holly Home Day' On Anniversary
Posted: Feb 13, 2012 6:42 AM CST
Updated: Feb 13, 2012 3:28 PM CST

DECATUR COUNTY, Tenn. - Monday marked ten months since nursing student Holly Bobo disappeared from her Decatur County home, and a local high school is trying to renew efforts to bring her home.

On Monday, Riverside High School sponsored "Bring Holly Home Day".

Students wore Holly T-Shirts, pink ribbons and anything else to help keep her in thoughts and prayers.
 ::snipping2::
Students at Riverside High said they hope "Bring Holly Home Day" will encourage her family not to give up.

Could it be that 25 year old Clint was forced to change his "drug" across the carport into the woods story when he was faced with immediate skeptics within and without of the investigation who challenged why he did not take off on foot or jump on an ATV in pursuit of his little sister?  Could it be that Clint was also challenged by interrogators as to why there were no drag marks found by investigators.  Logic dictates that the immediate TBI release reflected the statement of the one who claimed to be a witness to an abduction of his sister.

The problem is ... the truth does not change and ... this is why my position remains firm that an abduction never happened.

Mehr said investigators “did not see drag marks.” He added she was “not forcefully dragged and she’s like any other victim, maybe complying with her attacker, but she walked into the woods” outside her Pasrons, Tenn. home.

TBI did not pull the words "DRUG" and "HOME INVASION" out of thin air in the TBI News Release of April 13th. THREE LEVELS OF LE did not immediately converge on the Bobo property because Clint reported that he observed his sister 10 minutes earlier walking into the woods with who he perceived to be her boyfriend and ... a neighbor heard a scream ... a scream that he or his mother did not consider important enough to immediately act upon.

It would be sooo interesting to read Clint original statement to authorities. It would be sooo interesting to hear the words spoken to the 911 operator.

The Scream

Final hours with Holly: Family, friends, police reconstruct time before Holly Bobo's abduction
October 10, 2011

<snipped>

James Barnes, a neighbor of the Bobos', lives about 350 yards away in a mobile home beside his mother's home. The neighbors are separated by a ravine and a small pond.

Barnes said he walked out of his home at about 7:40 that morning as he prepared to go to his construction job and heard a scream from the Bobos' house. HE TOLD HIS MOTHER, CATHY WISE, ABOUT THE SCREAM AND WENT TO WORK.

Wise called the school where Karen taught and told a secretary she did not want to alarm Karen, but that her son heard a scream from the Bobos' house. Karen was in the cafeteria away from her cell phone, and a secretary found her and relayed the message.

<snipped>

Clint said that as he was dialing 911 he could hear the engine of the first patrol car coming up Swan Johnson Road, responding to his mother's call, and that the first deputy arrived in less than 10 minutes from when his sister walked toward the woods with the man in camouflage.

LOCAL TBI - PERCEIVED CONFLICTS OF INTEREST?
 
In the process of elimination in the Holly Hobo case ... were those closest to Holly investigated by local TBI or ... did personal/communty relationships create conflicts of interest ... conflicts of interest which imply that members of the Bobo and Scott families were/are afforded passes.  Clint and Drew were dismissed by TBI as persons of interest within two days of Holly's disappearance. Why? TBI did backtrack but continued to uphold Cling and Drew nevertheless.
