Scared Monkeys Discussion Forum

The ongoing silence coming from within the the Holly Bobo investigation is deafening.

Considering the inconsistencies revealed by TBI spokespersons encompassing Clint Bobo's observations and actions on the morning of April 13th that cause me to speculate that an abduction may never have happened ... I cannot move passed my focus of suspicion ... Holly Bobo's brother.
 
There was only one witness to the alleged abduction of Holly Bobo.  TBI investigators were not present.  Logic dictates that the changing stories revealed by TBI spokespersons could have only come from one source.

Bottom line ... there is only one truth and ... the truth never changes.

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.

April 16th - TBI John Mehr - Not Forcefully Dragged

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.

April 27th - TBI Kristin Helms - There was Some Miscommunication

Holly Bobo Abduction: 2-week-wrap-up; rumors dispelled; next steps
April 27th, 2011 12:32 pm ET

<snipped>

“Dragged” or “led” into the woods

There has been some confusion regarding how the case was initially reported.

Initially law enforcement stated Holly was last seen being “dragged” into the woods by a man dressed in camouflage clothing.

They later changed the wording to Holly was “led” into the woods.

This spurred online attacks against Holly’s brother, Clint Bobo, who was the last person to see her as she was being led into the woods.

Some questioned whether Clint changed his story, if media misreported, or if there was a miscommunication from law enforcement.

Asked where the confusion came, Helm said, “I don't have Clint's statements in front of me to be able to tell you exactly what he said.

“I can tell you that there was some miscommunication,” Helm said.

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.

TBI John Mehr stated that Clint Bobo claimed he was unconcerned when he observed his sister walking into to the woods with who he perceived to be her boyfriend.

According to a April 13th FBI Media Release ... Clint's original description regarding height and weight of the alleged abductor did conform somewhat to the approximate size of Holly's current boyfriend.  However ... on May 4th according to TBI John Mehr ... the description changed.  Why?  There is no way that Drew Scott is 220 pounds.

There was only one witness to the alleged abduction of Holly Bobo.  TBI investigators were not present.  Logic dictates that the changing stories revealed by TBI spokespersons could have only come from one source.

Authorities: 20-Year-Old Woman May Have Been Abducted
Posted: Apr 13, 2011 9:38 AM PDT
Updated: Apr 13, 2011 7:33 PM PDT

DECATUR COUNTY, Tenn. - A massive search is underway for a missing Decatur County woman. Investigators believe 20-year-old Holly Bobo was abducted from her home on Wednesday morning.

Investigators said it happened on Swan Johnson Road in Darden around 7:30 a.m. Her brother told police that a man wearing camouflage grabbed the young woman, dragged her across her carport and pulled her into some nearby woods.

Authorities said Holly Bobo was on her way to school. She is a student at the UT Martin campus.

Authorities are now searching the area. The sheriff said they've been searching a five mile square radius on the ground and by air, but have yet to come up with anything.

Hundreds of people from the community have come out to help in the effort. 

Volunteers have been out on horseback, on four wheelers, even on foot doing all they can to find this young woman.

April 16th - TBI John Mehr - Not Forcefully Dragged

Holly Bobo ‘In Fear of Her Life’

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.

Nickell, a registered sex offender in nearby Benton County, was arrested by the Jackson Police after allegedly stalking two teenage girls on separate occasions in Madison County.

The Dickson County Sheriff's Office also has pending charges on Nickell for indecency in public, simple assault and attempted kidnapping.

The TBI and the Jackson Police Department were able to coordinate efforts, bringing about the arrest of Nickell.

According to Helm there has been no connection made to Nickell in the Holly Lynn Bobo disappearance.

Search For Whitney Duncan's Missing Cousin Turns Up Evidence
First Posted: 04/25/11 04:17 PM ET Updated: 04/25/11 04:17 PM ET
 
Local and state law enforcement authorities have coordinated massive search efforts behind Bobo's home and throughout the surrounding area. In the days following her disappearance, investigators found what they described as a vital clue in her abduction.

"We found her lunch box about 8 miles from her home. It was on [the side of the road] where searchers had been searching," Helm said. "[It was] easily identifiable by her family."

Helm said authorities do not know if Bobo was carrying the lunch box when she was abducted but did say it is an item she would typically take with her every morning to the local technical school where she was studying to be a licensed practical nurse.

Authorities are still trying to determine if another recent find -- a strip of duct tape with her hair on it -- is connected to the case. "It is being tested forensically to see if there is a connection," Helm said.

Sheriff Wyatt - Significant Find

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

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.

The Holly Bobo Case - Compromised Justice?

It is unlikely that Holly parents are guilty of any wrongdoing encompassing the disappearance of their daughter.  However ... Karen and Dana may be positioned between a rock and a hard place nevertheless.  Clint is their precious son.

If an impulsive action caused the demise of Holly ... an impulsive action within a moment in time that could not be taken back ... I believe a conscience could prevail and the truth encompassing the morning of April 13th would then be revealed.  However ... the justice system must be working on behalf of this young lady.

To avoid an appearance of a conflict of interest that may encompass community ties/relationships ... is it time that the FBI took over the leading role in the Holly Bobo case from local TBI and local LE.

The changing stories of Holly's brother ... the distancing of Clint as a person of interest within two days of the alleged abduction and ... the low profile of the only witness as well as his parents implies ... something is not right.

On Tuesday, the family of Holly Bobo reportedly issued the following statement to the Associated Press in Nashville:

"We could never thank everyone enough for all the kindness that has been shown to our family during this difficult time. Thanks for your search efforts, donations, and especially your prayers for Holly and our Family. I know everyone's daily life, routines, and work must go on, but ours never will until Holly's safe return. Keep your eyes and ears open, and search your own property. Please pray for Holly's strength and everyone who is searching for our precious Holly" Holly Bobo's family.

This is the first time the family has made an official statement since the day after her abduction. To date, the family has not granted any television interviews with immediate family members.

Investigators with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation say that a 'reduced' number of agents do remain in the county, following specific leads.

Officials add that no major 'cracks' in the case have occurred as of this moment.

Bobo has been missing since Wednesday morning when her brother called 911 to report she had been dragged from the carport of her her home by a man wearing camouflage clothing.

"I would tell her I love her, and tell her to call us," said her father, Dana Bobo, when asked what he would say to his daughter.

"Please help us find her, she's just so precious, you don't even know," said Karen Bobo.

Hundreds of searchers combed woods and fields in western Tennessee on Thursday looking for Holly.

"We are hopeful she's gonna be brought back soon," her father went on to say.

"The way it looks to me myself, it might have been somebody close. Somebody that kinda knew our routine, knew when she (mother) left, when I left, when my daughter left to go to school, is what I kinda got in my mind, but I don't know that for sure," her father told reporters.

"I just want her back," her mother, Karen, said in tears as she was carried away from the microphone.

"We just send a plea out to whomever might be watching to help this family, We can only imagine what they go through, they need your help," said Decatur County Sheriff Roy Wyatt.

Tennessee Highway Patrol spokesperson Lt. Brad Wilbanks coordinates the volunteers.

"This is day eight.  Y'all are tired, we're frustrated," said Wilbanks.  "We ain't brought Holly home yet.  We're going to bring Holly home."

Kevin Bromley, a Bobo family spokesperson, thanked the volunteers and read a message for Holly Bobo from her family.

"Holly, if you can see or hear this wherever you are, rely on God's strength and know we love you and we are doing everything we can to find you," said Bromley.

THE LOW PROFILE OF HOLLY BOBO'S FAMILY

Dana and Karen Bobo have held ONE press conference and that was the day following their daughter's disappearance.

A statement was read by the family spokesperson at the April 20th prayer vigil and ... other statement was afforded to a media source on May 3rd.

Currently the profile of Holly's 25 year old adult brother who was the ONLY witness to her alleged abduction has been non-existence.

What is wrong with this picture.  Has legal representation, FBI, TBI and/or local LE advised members of Holly Bobo's family not to speak publicly?

Nevertheless ... there appears to be something terribly wrong with this picture.

Search effort & TBI Update

Helm said via email Tuesday afternoon, “We have no new developments to report on today.

<snipped>

The search was called off Sunday evening, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday due to severe weather conditions in the search area. There were threats of tornadoes over the past few days and people were, at times, urged to take shelter.

Asked when volunteer searchers might be back out searching for clues into Holly’s disappearance, Helm said, “They’re taking it on a day-by-day basis depending on the information they have.”

Asked if the search for Holly is still a search and rescue effort, Helm said, "We don’t have information indicating she is either alive or dead.”

May 12th - Family Spokesperson Kevin Bromley - One Piece of the Puzzle

Investigators Close To Cracking Holly Bobo Case
Woman Missing From Parsons For 1 Month
POSTED: 5:26 pm CDT May 12, 2011
UPDATED: 6:58 pm CDT May 12, 2011

Dana and Karen Bobo have not spoken publicly about their daughter's disappearance since one month ago, when Karen Bobo could hardly stand because of grief.

They are still not stable enough to speak, so a close family friend spoke to Channel 4 News on their behalf.

"Emotionally, it's tough on them," said Kevin Bromley. "You go looking around their home, and you see Holly's picture when she graduated kindergarten, eighth grade and high school, and it just breaks your heart."

Holly Bobo was last seen with a man dressed in camouflage in the woods outside the family's home. Blood was found outside, and Bobo's lunch box was found miles away.

Investigators said each new day brings many new leads and sometimes new information. While they're still not naming suspects, they said they are getting closer.

"They're needing one piece of the puzzle," said Bromley. "Someone knows something, and when they find that, I believe we will find Holly."

April 25th - Sheriff Roy Wyatt - Phone Tip Prompted Search

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

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.

<snipped>

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.

April 18th - TBI Director Mark Gwyn - No Matter What the Relationship

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.

In the name of justice ... to avoid an appearance of a conflict of interest that may encompass community ties/relationships/illegal activity ... it is time that the FBI took over the leading role in the Holly Bobo case from local TBI and LE.

The changing stories of Holly's brother regarding the alleged abduction ... the distancing of Clint as a person of interest within two days of the alleged abduction and ... the low profile of the only witness as well as his parents implies ... something is not right.

Has legal representation, TBI and/or local LE advised members of Holly Bobo's family not to speak publicly?  Karen and Dana held one press conference and released one media statement.  It is as if Clint dropped off the face of the earth on April 13th.

Holly Bobo ‘In Fear of Her Life’
April 16, 2011
 
Her brother, said Mehr, “had reasons to believe [the man] was not an attacker,” and did not call 911 until he saw blood outside.

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

When you consider the changing/conflicting official accounts that have been revealed encompassing the alleged kidnapping ... the changing/conflicting accounts that emerged from an immediate TBI media release ... from official media briefings within a four day period and ... now from a media family account three months later ... somethng is hinky.  The truth does not change.

Think about it.  Authorities were not present at the Bobo home on the morning of April 13th which implies the changing accounts have to be coming from the words of the only alleged witness ... the only alleged witness who is unable to get details straight.

Could it be that EVERYTHING ... the abduction story ... the timing of the scream and ... the location of the lunch box finding two days later/eight miles away have all been fabricated/staged.

1.  Why are the April 911 calls not being released?  Did Clint call 911 as TBI/LE spokespersons revealed early in the investigation or ... did Clint not call 911 as the family revealed in a media interview three months later?

2.  If Clint, Karen and Dana submitted to and passed polygraphs ... why are the positive  results not being released?

3.  Why are Clint's April 13th statement to authorities as well as subsequent statements to authorities not being released?

4.  Prior to calling 911 ... did Clint and/or Karen attempt to contact Holly on her cell?

5.  Why have investigators for the most part remained silent since Easter while never clarifying the reason for the official changing accounts?

6.  Why were official searches called off at Easter?

7.  Could it be that the changing stories imply investigators have a focus of suspicion but cannot move forward with the Holly Bobo case as a confession, evidence and/or a body is lacking?

The Scream

Considering the changing details encompassing the scream revealed through TBI/LE media briefings/release in the days immediately following Holly's disappearance and ... the family's account three months later ... could it be that the scream may have been staged to imply that Holly Bobo was alive at 7:30 AM ... staged in an attempt to eliminate the family from suspicion when a timeframe was established.

Could it be that Clint's claim to investigators that he observed Holly walking into the woods with who he perceived to be her boyfriend became part of the equation when ... following the April 13th TBI Media Release ... inquiring minds began questioning why Clint did not make an attempt to assist his sister when she was being drug into the woods?

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. ...."

RESULTS WITHHELD

Investigation Narrowed in Holly Bobo Search
Updated: Tuesday, 26 Apr 2011, 2:34 PM CDT
Published : Tuesday, 26 Apr 2011, 2:34 PM CDT

PARSONS, Tenn. - The investigation into the abduction of a nursing student has narrowed its focus but no one is yet being identified as a suspect.

Tennessee Bureau of Investigation spokeswoman Kristin Helm said the agency is in the process of identifying people of interest in the disappearance of 20-year-old Holly Bobo.

Helm said many possibilities have been ruled out. The focus of the investigation and search is still on the area surrounding the small community of Darden, where Bobo lived with her parents and brother.

The agency has analyzed a small amount of blood that was found outside the home, but Helm said they are not releasing the results to the public.

Holly Bobo's Family Recounts the Day She Vanished

“I was in shock, when I got the phone call. And with Clint being here, I know he was in shock. Until you've been through something like that, you just could not possibly understand,” Karen Bobo said.

She said she had spoken with Holly that morning and knew that her daughter had a big test at the UT Martin nursing school in Parsons.

Holly had gotten up that morning at 4:30 to study.

Her mother and father had gone to work, and she set out for school sometime before 8:00a.m. But she didn’t get far.

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. And then later come to find out she had been threatened. I mean, she definitely went into the woods against her will,” he said.

A neighbor had apparently heard screams coming from the house and alerted the school where Karen Bobo works.

“Motherly instinct. I knew something was wrong as soon as the secretary came to the cafeteria and told me,” she said.

Four 911 calls were made: one from the school, one from the neighbor, and two from Karen Bobo herself.

She also called Clint at home. He came to realize the man he saw with Holly was not her boyfriend.

“I had spoken with Holly, my mother and her boyfriend, all that morning. And of course Clint didn't know any of this, so I knew her boyfriend wasn't here,” Karen Bobo said.

Pretty soon, law enforcement and about 50 neighbors were up their driveway.

A small amount of blood was found near their parked cars.

Sheriff Wyatt

Three months later: What happened to Holly Bobo?[/b]

<snipped>

Decatur County Sheriff Roy Wyatt said Clint Bobo was the only one at home with Holly Bobo.

"This is according to her brother that he had seen her being led into the woods," said Wyatt.

Clint Bobo thought the man he saw wearing camouflage and walking toward the woods with his sister was her boyfriend.  Investigators were initially not clear about how long it took her brother to realize something was wrong, but Wyatt said it did not take long.

"A very, very short time," said Wyatt.

Wyatt said Clint Bobo called his mother first.  She then called 911.  Soon after, people were searching the wooded area around the Bobo family's house.

Holly Bobo is the focus and ... until answers are forthcoming in regards to the questions that abound encompassing an alleged abduction ... questions that abound regarding changing stories encompassing the alleged happenings on the morning of April 13th ... many will be unable to move past the family in in regards to speculations.  Until otherwise revealed ... there will be skepticism that an abduction ever occurred.

+++++

1.  Could it be that in the hours prior to the reported abduction an act of wrongdoing resulted in the demise of Holly Bobo ... a fabrication was collaborated and ... a staging took place?

2.  When and why did Karen speak to Drew on the morning of April 13th?

3.  Why has Drew's media profile been non-existence since the disappearance of Holly?

4.  Could it be that Drew possesses knowledge that could shed some truth on the actual happenings related to the disappearance of Holly?

5.  Why was there a three month period that the media profile of Clint, Karen and Dana was non-existent?

6.  Why did an alarmed Karen not attempt to contact Holly on her cell prior to calling 911?  Could it be that Karen was already aware of her daughter's whereabouts.

7.  Why did an alarmed Clint not attempt to contact Holly on her cell?  Could it be that Clint was already aware of his sister's whereabouts.
 
8.  Considering dogs did not detect Holly's scent leading into the woods ... could it be that a staged scream was all about establishing a time frame ... a time frame that would imply that Holly was alive at 7:30 AM?

9.  Considering dogs did not detect Holly's scent going into the woods ... could it be that a staged scream was all about affording credibility to an alleged abduction that was reported by Clint?

10.  Was the area eight miles away from the Bobo residence the focus of an official search ... the area where Holly's lunch box was located?

11.  In the process of elimination in the Holly Bobo investigation ... did Clint, Dana, Karen and Drew submit to and pass a polygraph?

12.  In the process of elimination in the Holly Bobo investigation ... were the cell phones and computers belonging to Clint, Dana, Karen and Drew confiscated?

13.  Why did official searches cease at Easter?

14.  Is there currently a falling out between the family and those investigating the Holly Bobo case?

15.  Could it be that the deafening silence forthcoming from investigators since early on the in the investigation imply that they are focused on a person of interest in the Holly Bobo case but ... without a confession, evidence, witness and/or a body ... the case cannot go forward?

Prior Karen placing two calls to 911 ... did she attempt to contact her daughter on her call phone?

THE BLOOD

April 16th - TBI John Mehr - Called 911

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.

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

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?

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.

APRIL 16TH

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.

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.

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.

At what position in the house did Clint have to be see them enter the woods? It they entered the woods near the shed or carport side of the house, his vision had to be limited if he were in kitchen. Why did he move from kitchen and lose track of them when contacting his mother?

The small puddle of blood is significant. Now I first heard that were flecks on lawn...which lawn? back or front? Of course that has now been discounted and has disappeared from clues. Now we have the puddle. I have to say a "puddle" changes everything. That is pulled blood which means dripping down. Where must Holly have been wounded for blood to drip down and form a puddle? Why were there no other spots of blood indicated? What value would it be for LE to hide the bleeding Holly to the public?

If no other blood was found (we don't know), it would be easy to conclude that the puddle was the last place she was. If she was walking into the woods, there has to be more blood around in that carport, lawn, etc..

I can't imagine anyone walking with a perp after they have been injured. It is at this point you scream and refuse to co-operate...imo. If a stranger injures you, you don't walk away with him..that is simply crazy.

If she knows her brother is around, this is more reason to plant your feet firmly on the ground and refuse to leave.

Didn't the Bobos have another dog besides the small one in the house?

...OOP! Sorry, in the above post, I was going to ask who gave this description of Holly? Did her mother see her before she left? The only part I heard was her mother tell the media Holly was studying @ 4:00am that fateful day.

Exactly!  clarice ... in interviews ...Karen stops short of claiming that she saw Holly on that fateful morning and ... hosts do not ask the question that inquiring minds want to know.  Why?  Are interview questions controlled?

I can assume that on April 16th TBI John Mehr did not pull his words out of thin air. Protocol dictates that press conference updates are derived from official foundation. It makes sense that the official foundation of Mehr's words was the changing statement of the ONLY witness ... Clint Bobo.

However ... in the August 4th JVM interview ... Clint diverts from the words of TBI John Mehr's April 16th press conference.

It is said that the truth never changes but ... lies require a good memory.

THE HOLLY BOBO CASE

When Clint Bobo's changing stories in his own words in afforded interview are considered ... could it be that an abduction of Holly Bobo never happened?
 
Could it be that the UNINTENTIONAL demise of Holly Bobo prior to the morning of April 13th through an act of wrongdoing ... maybe drug related ... involving both Clint and Drew ... implies that out of a misguided sense of love two sets of parents ultimately become participants in a collaborated abduction fabrication as well as the disappearing of Holly.

1.  Why was Drew and his father really on Holly's Grandmother's property so early on a April morning? By sunrise it would be too late for any "turkey hunting". Think about it. Drew was at his place of employment at 8:00 AM.

3.  Where was Dana on the morning of April 13th? Does he have a locked-in alibi?
 
4.  Does the small amount of blood in the carport ... the small amount of blood without a trail imply that a deceased Holly was place in a vehicle and taken from the Bobo residence?

5.  Has Holly's Grandmother's property been officially searched?
 
6.  Has all members of the Bobo and Scott families been interrogated/investigated?  Did they submit to and passed polygraphs?

7.  Was Hannah Reece ... James Barne ... Cathy Wise and ... the "relative" and Holly Bobo's Grandmother interrogated?
 
8.  Have all cell phone/computer records belonging to members of two familys been retrieved as well as cell phone/computer records of those who assisted the two families in establishing alibis?
 
9.  Were all vehicles belonging to members of the two families seized and forensically searched?
 
10.  Are local TBI/FBI/Local LE persuing all avenues of investigation regarding those closest to Holly or ... as rumors imply ... are members of the Bobo and Scott families being given a pass.  Are there conflicts of interest within the investigation ... conflicts of interest that are allowing the Holly Bobo case to go cold?  I hope not.
 
Think about it.  It could be that at any time a conscience will prevail and one with the least involvement will reveal the truth and ... when that happens justice for Holly Bobo will be realized.

Since April 2, the opening day of turkey season, hunters from around the state had been entering the woods a 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 AM., according to the family.

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.

"The dog woke me up barking, and I looked out front and expected to see the electric truck or something," Clint said.

"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.”

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's grandmother's property. Since April 2, the opening day of turkey season, hunters from around the state had been entering the woods a 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 over Drew hunting on Karen's mother's property.....

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 his grandmother's property that morning.

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.

THE HOLLY BOBO CASE

The 60 Acre Bath Springs Property

In the process of elimination in the Holly Hobo case ... has an official grid search been conducted on the 60 acre Bath Springs property owned by Karen Bobo's mother ... the 60 acre property where Drew and father were placed on the morning of April 13th?

Considering sunrise was at 6:30 AM that morning and considering Drew was at his job in Parsons 17 miles away from Bath Springs at 8:00 AM ...  could it be that father and son not "turkey hunting".

When the small amount of blood ... the small amount of blood without a trail is considered ... where did Dana Bobo go when he drove away from the residence at 5:30 AM ... one hour prior to daybreak ... on the morning of April 13th?

When the changing story of Clint ... in his own words ... in afforded interviews in regards to his observations is considered ... could it be that an alleged abduction never happened?  Could it all have been a fabrication collaborated prior to the dawning of April 13 following the unintended demise of Holly Bobo through an act of wrongdoing?

Could it be that two sets of parents ... through a misguided sense of love ... made a choice to do what they felt had to be done to protect their own from the legal consequences of wrongdoing ... wrongdoing that may have been drug related?

It is as though Scott family disappeared along with Holly.

In the name of justice ... after ten months ... is it time the FBI took over the Holly Bobo investigation and could that investigation begin with the immediate Bobo and Scott family members ... the immediate Bobo and Scot family member who appear to have been afforded passes by local LE and TBI.

It appears that two days following the alleged abduction of Holly Bobo ... both LE and TBI had afforded the immediate Bobo/Scott families a pass.  There is no way that ... in the process of elimination ... all six members were interrogated, polygraphed and fully investigated in that time period.  Were cell phone records obtained and analyzed?  Were vehicles seized and forensically tested?  Were alibis checked out?  Were .....?

On April 15th the writing was on the wall and ... the writing revealed that those closest to Holly were to be afforded a pass.  Affirmation from Kirsten Helm (TBI) happened on April 19th.  The spokeswoman for the investigation informed that the investigation was focused on those outside of the families.

Sheriff Harris says his deputies were contacted on February 14th and asked to help search near Lexington. The mounted patrol unit was dispatched and assisted for three days. Sheriff Harris says the unit was able to find several significant articles of evidence which they then tagged with their GPS system and turned over to the TBI.

"The TBI and other officials were impressed and pleased with the mounted unit’s tactics used to discover these crucial articles that will allow them to move forward with their investigation." Sheriff Jimmy Harris said in a prepared release. "They are recognized as one of the top mounted units in the country."

Officials with TBI say no new evidence was discovered in Bobo case
12:31 PM, Feb. 28, 2012

Local officials with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation said a search in Decatur County this weekend did not lead to new evidence in the case of missing student Holly Bobo.

Special Agent in Charge John Mehr also said the news of a body found in Decatur County this weekend was untrue.

He said Sheriff Jimmy Harris in DeKalb County, Ala. sent out incorrect information in a press release about evidence being found by his mounted search team and he was supposed to send out a correction today.

Both articles are from February 27th.  However ... the prepared release of Sheriff Harris differs.  Could it be the Sheriff Harris never claimed that evidence was found?  Could it be that Waay TV got it wrong?

Natasha Chen - TBI confirmed Saturday night there is NO body found in Parsons. That was in response to a rumor posted on the internet. As for DeKalb County helping in the search, that was not discussed.
Monday at 4:33pm

Natasha Chen - Ok, I just got off the phone with Sheriff Jimmy Harris from DeKalb County, AL. The above report you posted is inaccurate, because the person writing the media release made a mistake this morning. The DeKalb County sheriff's dept. did NOT find any critical evidence or articles important to the investigation. The press release was meant to say they tagged the areas they searched by GPS system, so TBI could keep a record of where they had searched.

GRANDMA'S PROPERTY

When it is considered that sunrise was 6:30 AM on the morning of April 13th and Drew Scott was to be at his place of employment in Parsons at 8:00 AM ... a 15 minute drive from Bath Springs ... it would have been a mighty quick turkey hunt for him and his father.  Why were father and son really on Grandma's 60 acre property?

Could it be that the small amount of Holly Bobo's blood that was found in the carport ... the small amount of blood without a trail ... imply that the alleged abduction was a fabrication and that a deceased Holly was placed in a vehicle earlier and driven away from the Bobo residence.

Think about it.  Dana Bobo left home at 5:30 AM on the morning of April 13th.  Does Dana have backup to his alibi that he was at his place of employment one hour prior to the rising of the sun on April 13th.  Could Dana have been with Drew and his father Brian at Grandma's 60 acre Bath Springs property ... Grandma's 60 acre Bath Springs property located 17 miles from Darden/Parsons?  Why did Dana not arrive home until 8:30 AM ... 25 minutes after the arrival of the first responders?

Ten months have come and gone since Holly Bobo was allegedly observed by her brother walking into the woods with a male dressed in camouflage.  In the process of elimination ... has Grandma's Bath Springs 60 acre property been grid searched or ... will those closest to Holly Bobo continue to be given a perceived pass by local LE/TBI?  Does Clint's changing story in his own words in afforded interviews regarding the happenings encompassing the alleged abduction of his sister not raise any red flags.

After ten months ... justice demands that the FBI takes over the Holly Bobo investigation.  After ten months ... justice demands that ... in the process of elimination ... those closest to Holly Bobo are investigated prior to being ruled out as persons of interest.  After ten months ... justice demands that Grandma's Bath Springs 60 acre property is officially grid searched.

CLINT BOBO'S CHANGING STORY

In the week following the alleged abduction of Holly Bobo .. TBI and LE spokespokes persons when relating to media the observations of Clint Bobo ... failed to mention the two "silhouette" kneeling in the carport ... failed to mention Clint running towards the wood with gun in hand ... attempting to contact his sister on her cell.

Considering it can be assumed that the statements of official spokespersons were not pulled out of thin air ... could it be that it was Clint who failed to mention the "silhouettes" in his initial statement given to investigators ... failed to mention the attempted chase ... failed to mention the attempted cell phone contact?

When compared to then and now ... has Clint's alleged observations evolved over time in regards to an approximate 15 minute period of time on the morning of April 15?

Does that changing story of Clint Bobo in his own words in interviews not raise red flags within the Holly Bobo investigation ... red flags that imply that the alleged abduction did not happen ... red flags that indicate that maybe a collaborated fabrication and staging took place prior to the dawning of April 13th OR ... is those closest to Holly Bobo being afforded a pass.

Clint Bobo’s Changing Stories – In His Own Words

Final hours with Holly: Family, friends, police reconstruct time before Holly Bobo's abduction
11:00 PM, Oct. 8, 2011

<snipped>

"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."

“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 neighbor pulled up and she said she heard screams about 15 or 20 minutes ago and that was about eight 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 911 like Mom had said."

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.

ISSUES WITH JANE VELEZ-MITCHELL

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.

THE DESCRIPTION

Considering Drew Scott is reported to be 5'8" tops and ... considering Clint Bobo is the only witness ... it is not rocket science where TBI gleaned the discription information regarding the alleged abductor of Holly Bobo.  The discription update implies that the male who Clint alleges to have walked into the woods with his sister could not have been her boyfriend.
