Holly Bobo Family Statement, Comments From Sheriff & District Attorney
Tue, Sep 09 2014, 01:07 PM CDT
 
A statement was delivered by Steve Farese Sr, the spokesman for the Bobo family on behalf of Dana, Karen and Clint Bobo.
"On behalf of Holly we would like to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers. We will never understand the actions or the motives of those who took Holly from us. Those responsible will be afforded a trial. As an innocent victim Holly had no such right. Although in prison they can breathe and visit with loved ones, not Holly. We've lost a precious daughter...but those responsible have lost their souls.
The family knows that Holly is in a better place. We hope that no family will have to experience what we have endured.
The family has asked for privacy to grieve." 
Sheriff Keith Byrd also spoke not as Sheriff, but as friend to the family.

And hopefully there will be forensic evidence to help toward bringing those responsible to justice.

Forensic team helps with Bobo investigation

Somewhere in the woods near the University of Tennessee at Knoxville are decomposing bodies whose owners willed them to science. It's a forensic anthropology research facility, commonly referred to as the "Body Farm" by students.

Those who decide to donate their bodies to the study of human decomposition give a gift that allows the living to draw answers from beyond the grave, and hopefully bring killers to justice.

The value of such gifts may shine brightest at times like this, when forensic anthropologists are using their research in hopes of gathering evidence and providing answers to the family of Holly Bobo.

A team of those experts traveled to Decatur County from Knoxville on Tuesday, according to Decatur County Sheriff Keith Byrd. A workstation was constructed at the site where Bobo's partial skeletal remains were found on Sunday just north of County Corner Road.
 
On Tuesday, The Jackson Sun requested a comment from the UT Forensic Anthropology Center, but a university spokeswoman said forensic scientists from the school do not comment during an ongoing case in which they are working.

According to the UT Knoxville Forensic Anthropology website, study of the field began at the university in the early '70s, with a Dr. William Bass. The research facility, on 1.3 acres, is "the first of its kind to permit systematic study of human decomposition," the website says. Bodies at the facility are arranged in manners to simulate a crime scene.

Man says he saw Adams, Autry in area where Holly Bobo's remains found

DECATUR COUNTY, Tenn. -- A man says he regularly saw both Zach Adams and Jason Autry in the area where Holly Bobo's remains were found.

Adams and Autry have both been indicted for Bobo's kidnapping and murder.

John Tubbs said he has known both men most of his life. He said they often were in the area.

"Him and Jason both. Jason rode a dirt bike through there quite a bit," Tubbs said.

He said his father's business, Tubb's Sawmill, closed its doors earlier this week, overwhelmed by the discovery of Holly Bobo's remains less than a quarter of a mile away and all the investigators and media that followed.

"It's hard to be here right now running the mill, I mean knowing she was right there," Tubbs said.

Wednesday, investigators still swarmed the area where two ginseng root hunters found her skull on Sunday. The TBI said at least 30 investigators from multiple agencies are on the scene.

Eyewitnesses said they have seen cadaver dogs, four-wheelers and dozens of cars since the TBI took over the investigation.

"They come down here yesterday and went down this old logging road right here, went down into the swamp I reckon," Tubbs said.
 
Newly elected District Attorney Matt Stowe was also on the scene Wednesday

TBI clears scene where remains of Holly Bobo were found

DECATURVILLE, TN (WSMV) -
Investigators with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation have cleared the scene where the human remains of Holly Bobo were found in Decatur County on Sunday.

The TBI says they cleared and released the scene on Wednesday, but they are still continuing to investigate the case.

The agency is not releasing any information about what, if anything, was recovered from the area.
 
The TBI says no additional arrests have been made in the case since the remains were found.

Decatur County Sheriff Keith Byrd said on Tuesday that other arrests in the case will be forthcoming.

One of the ginseng hunters, Larry Stone, expressed his condolences to the Bobo family on Facebook. Stone posted a picture of flowers he said he left near the place where he found the remains.

"I feel so much sorry and pain for her family," Stone wrote.
