Klaas, I'm not sure if this reporter is from Channel 5 out of Memphis or out of Nashville but have you seen this tweet?

Knowing the way my links usually flop, you'll probably have to fix it.

Investigators have used DNA to determine whose blood was found in Holly Bobo's carport. They won't release a name until an arrest is made.

Hi Janet,
Sorry I didn't posts links. They are from news articles. I will posts the links as soon as I can. I basically did a search on the timeline and what time the calls were made. If I'm not mistaken it was LE who quoted the times of the calls. For some reason I believe some statements were backtracked re the screaming and what Clint saw. I do know his story changed but not sure if he changed or Strategy by LE?

Thanks StarMonkey

Considering my speculations are based on media reports ... I would appreciate reading the articles that you are basing your timeline on and ... I would appreciate reading your timeline.

Have a good day.

Hi Janet,

here are some of the reports. I guess I can say that regardless of the times of the 911 calls, the neighbor heard her screaming at 7:30 and Clint reports he was not concerned because he thought it was her BF,he never says she was screaming.but she was...
 ::snipping2::
The 20-year-old was allegedly kidnapped from in front of her home by a man dressed in camouflage at about 7:30 am, as she left for class.
Holly was last seen being dragged across the home's carport and into nearby woods by the suspect. Her older brother witnessed it happening and called 911.

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2011/04/15/earlyshow/main20054214.shtml

 ::snipping2::
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation says that her 25-year-old brother told investigators that he saw her abduction.
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-504083_162-20054075-504083.html
 ::snipping2::
Sheriff Wyatt revealed today that two 911 calls regarding the abduction had been placed at the time of the girl's disappearance.

( was it 2 because I thought the mom called too)?

 ::snipping2::
A neighbor called 911 when she heard a woman screaming shortly after 7:30 a.m. Bobo's 25-year-old brother, who was inside his sister's house at the time, also called 911.

“At approximately 7:30 [a.m.] this date we received a call on Swan Johnson Road of a young lady there that had been abducted supposedly,” Sheriff Wyatt said.
"When asked who saw Holly being abducted Sheriff Wyatt said, “It was a neighbor that lives just up the road there from the house. She didn’t see it but heard the screams of the young lady as she was leaving the house.”

TBI said Clint says he saw her being led away. no screams...

[Cappuccino]

Producer for NG was just on HLN and reported again that Clint thought Holly was talking to her boyfriend & added that he is a hunting buddy of Clint's.  Reported that investigators have been targeting certain areas & over the phone TBI Director Gwyn stated that they are following every lead & similar possible crime.  I caught the tail end of it as I was taking a time out for a manicure, just finished my gel overlay & now deciding on design Ill finish tonight.   Vinnie mentioned that NG will have Holly's case on again tonight.

If Clint is revealing the truth about the events encompassing the morning of April 17th ... he would know beyond a doubt whether or not it was Drew he observed from behind talking with his sister on the morning of April 13th.  His hunting buddy!  His sisters boyfriend!

I can only conclude that his backtracking in regards to implicating Drew may be a sign of a guilty conscience.  I could be wrong.

Janet

[Tamikosmom]

Despite the changing stories ... two days following the disappearance of Holly ... two days following Clint's belief that he observed Holly's boyfriend leading her into the woods ... two following the discovery of blood that had yet to be analyzed ... Clint and Drew were distanced as persons of interest by John Mehr.  Mehr conceded that there were no other persons of interest.

It does not add up.

Do either family have influential connections?

Holly Bobo Followed Kidnapper into Tennessee Woods in 'Fear of Her Life'
PARSONS, Tenn. April 15, 2011

<snipped>

The officer said that neither Bobo's brother nor her boyfriend were suspects. "We are confident of that," he said.

But police have no leads to the identity of Bobo's abductor.

"There is not a person of interest at this time," he said.

http://abcnews.go.com/US/holly-bobo-attacker-woods-fear-life/story?id=13381683

 No, but by all accounts they are rather respected in the community & that is evident by the outpouring we are witnessing.

It is evident that the members of the community love and respect the Bobos and Scotts.  However ... considering Clint and Drew were immediately ruled out by investigators as persons of interest ... it is the influence that may exist in "higher places" that I would be interested in knowing about.

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.”

Is Holly Bobo abduction linked to other kidnapping attempt?
Posted by Edecio Martinez


Heather Sullivan of Hickman County reported that a tall, skinny man in a gray hooded jacket grabbed her arm as she stepped out of her home early in the morning, but when the glass top of a lamp she was holding fell and shattered, the potential kidnapper ran away.

"I was scared. I was numb. I couldn't move. I couldn't say anything or do anything," said Sullivan according to local station WSMV.

Sullivan called police, who searched the woods. No one was found, and Sullivan said she hasn't seen the man since.

While police initially believed an abductor dragged Bobo, 20, away as she left for school last Wednesday, investigators now suspect it was a community member who led Bobo into the woods near her home.


Mark Gwyn, director of the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, said authorities will look at all possibilities.

Two more recent cases of Missing, Young Tennessee Girls

As reported TODAY in the above story, they have found out about an attempted abduction in Centerville, TN (Hickman County) which happened a few months ago, AND I searched and found a report about another recent case of a hijacked and missing Teacher in Shelbyville, TN. It seems to me that both cases have similar characteristics ..... search it yourself and see.

And this info, it appears, came independently from Centerville and Shelbyville sources, and not from the TN State Investigation Bureau.

Wouldn't this be a logical first place to look (plus the Local Sex Offender List) ??
What the hell is going on ??

They have talked to area listed SO's and TBI Director Gwyn did state that they are looking at all possibilities including similar crimes.   I heard him say it personally in a phone interview on HLN today.

[sdmike1974]

Someone commented that they thought the mother (Karen Bobo) had called 911 even though the sheriff said there was only a call from the neighbor and the brother (Clint). I agree that it was reported that the mother called 911. Seems like this is yet another example of an erroneous report. Fortunately it does not appear to be too significant.

LE has said that neither the brother nor the boyfriend is a suspect or a POI. But this is really not all that revelatory ... especially when LE makes it quite clear that they have not cleared anyone at this time. In recent years no one seems to be named a suspect or POI until an arrest is imminent.

I must admit that it is difficult for me to point the finger of suspicion at the brother.

Can anyone really consider him as a suspect after all that has been reported? I don't know what time the last parent left that morning. Regardless, that is a very small window of opportunity to have been a likely suspect. If it is true that he did not hear the scream that could be troubling - unless he was in the shower and/or he heard the scream and it simply wasn't reported by either the media or LE.

As to the boyfriend (Drew), his involvement seems less clear. LE reported his whereabouts were confirmed and that he has an alibi. While I would like to hear more specifics, I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt unless something is reported that makes this alibi less believable.

what I dont get is he Saw her being led into the woods and did not hear her scream. The neighbor did and didnt see her ..just heard her.

I wanted to post this comment from Clints friend.. the last comment re what Clint said happened. this scenario was also on the Nancy Grace show from someone that reported this to the show (cant remember who it was a family member or friend though) - could it be true that Clint thought he saw Drew coming from the woods at 7:30 to show her a turkey? I mean why would he come to take her into the woods to show her a turkey does that make sense?
 
again this tells me something is wrong that Clint should have heard her scream or known something was wrong IMO.

Holly's mother was at work, along with Holly's aunt (Whitney Duncan's mother).  They are both teachers at an elementary school.  Ive heard the same that Drew has an alibi & we'll just have to wait to hear more about him, but I do not think Clint or Drew are responsible in any capacity whatsoever for Holly's abduction.

Another account of where Holly's mother was can be found here in the comments:

http://abcnews.go.com/US/comments?type=story&id=13371580

Jolie, that's inaccurate; the mother was already at school (she's a teacher). ot sure why tis got repoted wrong, but three of my kids were present when she got the news. Her aunt is also a teacher there (and singer Whiney Duncan's mother). Most of the teachers left to go assits and subs were called in... but the mother was at the school when this happened, not watching.BTW the top suspect has made countless threats against her and every guy she has dated lately... and he has some pretty disturbing stuff on his Facebook page. This doesn't mean he's guilty, but at least it gives the police a suspect. Since they can't find him, chances are, in a town this size, they are looking for the right guy!

Just a side note, the media was wrong to ever say "home invasion," it was known from the first report to police that he was apparently laying in wait for her as she went outside to get in her car to go to class, and grabbed her outsideof the house. The media is just reporting anything it thinks will get attention wothout regard for the actual facts. Those of us who are on the ground, searching, feeding volunteers, and supporting this heartbroken family any way we can know better than to believe everything we read... all of the outside observers should know that, too.

GET YOUR FREAKING FACTS STRAIGHT!!! Before you people go name calling and making wild accusations, get your facts straight. I know this family, and they would have done anything within their power to save Holly!! 3 of my daughters were at school with her mom when she got the news, and they will never forget the blood-curdling scream she let out. My heart breaks for them, and our family is doing everything we can to help the family and the search crews. Thank you, "readitnow" for trying to explain ACTUAL facts in case ANY readers out there are interested. Fo rthoseof you who don't live in the middle of forested no-man's land, you cnnot imagine how fast a person can disappear into thickforest with undergrowth. Try this: look at Googlemaps or mapquest, pull up "swan Johnson Road, and look at the satellite photos of the area. As you zoom out a bit, you will see nearby Natchez Trace, a state park that is nothing but wilderness. Don't make judgments without the facts, please!

I happen to agree with Clint & Holly's friends, and for those that know me by now if I had any doubt I'd say so just as adamantly.   Just shy of a week ago I went thru every non private set FB on Holly, Clint & Drew's FB friends as some are doing now....it should be noted that NOTHING was found that contradicts Clint or Drew should be looked at disparagingly.

Holly Bobo Abduction: 3,000 attend vigil, searchers will be out in force Friday
April 21st, 2011 9:06 pm ET
Isabelle Zehnder
Missing Persons Examiner


PARSONS, Tennessee (Isabelle Zehnder reporting) -- Nothing could stop some 3,000 people in Decatur County – not pouring rain, not power outages – from gathering together for a candlelight and prayer vigil to mark week one of Holly Bobo’s abduction from outside her Parsons, Tennessee home - volunteers are expected to be out in force again Friday, looking for clues into Holly's disappearance.

 ::snipping2::


Last Wednesday morning Holly did the same thing she did every day – she headed off to school at about 7:30 a.m. Her 25-year-old brother, Clint Bobo, saw her being led into the woods outside their home by a man dressed in full camo. Clint believed the man was Holly’s boyfriend, Drew.

Police surmise now that Holly was forced to walk into the woods by her abductor, fearing for her life.

Many people who have read Holly’s story have commented that they would find it odd to see a man outfitted in camouflage clothing at 7:30 in the morning. But to those living in Decatur County, there’s nothing odd about it.

Sometime later Clint went outside and noticed Holly’s car still in the driveway and blood on the ground. He became alarmed and immediately called 911.

Another 911 call was made by a neighbor who claimed she heard Holly scream. Some have questioned why she was the only one to hear Holly screaming.

 ::snipping2::


TBI spokeswoman Kristin Helm said in an email to me on Wednesday that they are not going to release information about who has taken a polygraph test.

As long as this is an active investigation, much information in this case will be held close to the chest and not released to the public. This is not unusual.
