Neighbors in shock over Jersey Bridgeman's murder and Holly's arrest
 UPDATED 5:21 PM CST Nov 29, 2012


BENTONVILLE, Ark. — Since Jersey Bridgeman's body was found inside an abandoned house near A and 7th Streets, the neighbors are reeling.


Parents said children were not playing outside they way they used to in days past.

Instead, there are numerous passers-by. They bring traffic to a stand still to take pictures of the homes involved in the murder investigation and the suspect, Zach Holly.

Many neighbors have been talking of Zachary Holly's behavior on the day Jersey's body was found, Nov. 20.

"He was pretty bad that day," said Julie Pickard, Holly's neighbor.

In response to questions if there were  signs that Holly may have had something to do with the crime, Pickard said, "..to me---that never struck my mind."

There was video of Holly near the crime scene show which aired on 40/29 News. "He was in every picture I seen on the news," said Pickard.


For most of the morning, she said Holly was visibly shaken and very upset.

Neighbors also said Amanda Holly was close to Jersey's mother, DesaRae Bridgeman.

"I knew DesaRae and Amanda were really good friends," said Lopez.

Jersey Bridgeman murder suspect, Zachary Holly, attacked in jail

CBS/AP) BENTONVILLE, Ark. - Authorities in northwest Arkansas said a fellow inmate attacked accused murderer Zachary Holly on Tuesday, a day before Holly was expected in court for the slaying of 6-year-old Jersey Bridgeman.

Holly, 28, was arrested Monday on capital murder, kidnapping and residential burglary charges in Jersey's death. He was due in court later Wednesday, when a judge was expected to assign him a public defender.

Holly was attacked in Benton County Jail, where an inmate managed to slip into his cell while helping hand out fresh clothes and towels, jail Capt. Chris Sparks said. He said Holly wasn't seriously injured. The inmate, who was in jail on a parole violation, could face additional charges.

"Obviously this case has gotten a lot of exposure in the media and all the inmates know what he's in for," Sparks said. "We're going to do our best to try and keep him safe, just like we do every other inmate."

Thankfully, even criminals have certain moral codes.  Just like Jersey's last night on this earth, they will make sure he doesn't get a restful night's sleep for the rest of his life.

Formal charges filed in murder of Arkansas girl, 6
January 3, 2013

LITTLE ROCK, ARK. –  A prosecutor filed formal charges this week against an Arkansas man accused of raping and killing his 6-year-old neighbor who had been a victim in a prior abuse case.

Prosecutor Van Stone filed paperwork Wednesday charging Zachary Holly, 28, with capital murder, kidnapping, rape and residential burglary in the disappearance and death of 6-year-old Jersey Bridgeman.

The formal charges come days before Holly is due in court Monday for an arraignment.

Authorities arrested Holly several days after Jersey was found dead on Nov. 20 in a vacant home next to Holly's in Bentonville, a community about 215 miles northwest of Little Rock that is best known as the home of Wal-Mart's headquarters.

In the charging paperwork filed Wednesday, prosecutors said Holly restrained the girl "with the purpose of engaging in sexual intercourse, deviate sexual activity, or sexual contact with Jersey Bridgeman..." Authorities have said the child was suffocated.
