I though Holly Bobo lived in Darden.  Where is Lexington?

DeKalb County Sheriff's Mounted Unit assists with Holly Bobo search
Posted: Feb 27, 2012 10:35 AM PST

LEXINGTON, TENNESSEE (WAFF) - The DeKalb County Sheriff's Mounted Unit joined forces with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation for the search of 20-year-old Holly Bobo.

Bobo has been missing from Lexington, Tennessee since April of 2011.

The mounted unit including Sgt. Jonathan Langley, Tony Blackwell, Chris Black, Brian Darwin, Beth Emory, Casey Langley, Nick Wheller, Brandon Blackwood and Jason Wilkie arrived at Natchez Trace National Forest on Friday.

They searched for three days in wooded and roadside areas. Many of the areas they searched were impassable by anything other than a horse.

The unit searched using spiral and grid technologies and was able to find several significant articles of evidence. They tagged the areas searched with their GPS system and turned it over to the TBI.

It is relatively close. This is a map someone did I think on Facebook that may give you a good idea of the areas:

Lexington is West of Darden and Parsons about 11 miles or so.

I could be wrong but I have a hinky feeling that the latest is nothing but a horse and pony show.

Thanks cartfly.  I am going to do some googling (sounds obscene) regarding Lexington's location in relation to Darden.

No problem, Janet.    Hopefully, this latest search results in some credible evidence.  I just don't know what to make of it.

I think you're right, Janet.  So much for their "move forward with the investigation."  Just search an area and tag it.

O.k., I don't get it. This article says they did find evidence. It can't be both ways...they either did or didn't. Which is it?  If they did "find several significant articles of evidence", then the next question is who has horses in the area?  Who rides regularly? Who has horses (or easy access to horses), rides regularly, knows Holly/the Bobos well enough to know their schedule, and knows the area? That should narrow the field somewhat.

The online articles pertaining to this Lexington search are so conflicting ... even the dates.

What will be; will be.  However ... it is so frustrating to get a handle on an what is going on inside the Holly Bobo investigation.

Sheriff: evidence found in Holly Bobo disappearance
Posted: Feb 27, 2012 8:00 PM PST
Updated: Feb 27, 2012 8:02 PM PST

DECATUR COUNTY, TN - (WMC-TV) – Reinforcements have been called in to search for Holly Bobo. Investigators on horseback spent the weekend looking for the missing Mid-South nursing student.

The search happened over a three day period over the weekend with help from a sheriff in Alabama. His mounted unit was part of what neighbors said was a very large search.

The renewed search for Bobo, who's been missing since April, happened over the weekend in Decatur County, not too far from Holly Bobo's home in Darden.

People who work at Dottie's Convenience store say there were at least 100 people searching and many of them were on horseback.

"We was asking if they were here searching and they said they couldn't disclose that information and stuff and they wouldn't really tell us much," said Kayla Hatley, a clerk at the store.

However, Hatley said one person finally did confirm that the search was for Holly Bobo.

"One mounted unit came from DeKalb County, AL, and the sheriff wrote a news release saying that they discovered "significant articles of evidence."

The sheriff wouldn't say what those items were and neither would the TBI.

The TBI was working in conjunction with the searchers, but said it was just a routine search. People who saw the search say it covered a large area from Yellow Springs to Bible Hill and many people said it didn't seem Iike a routine search.

A TBI spokesperson played down the importance of the weekend search.

I contend that the $250,000 reward should not be limited to the "safe return" of Holly Bobo.  If Holly is deceased ... there is no incentive for anybody who has knowledge and/or had involvement to break a code of silence and come forward with the truth regarding the happenings encompassing the demise and disappearing of Holly.  Legal consequences are still an issue to be faced but maybe there could be a plea deal in exchange for the truth.

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.
 ::snipping2::

[Tamikosmom]

Reward or no reward ... when the spiritual foundation of both the Bobo/Scott families are considered ... could it be that in time a conscience will prevail ... the truth will be revealed and ... the house of cards encompassing the alleged abduction of Holly Bobo will collapse.  In other words ... the implication is that a burden will have been lifted as trust would have been place in God's Will in regards to the outcome.  On that glorious day justice will have been given a chance of prevailing.

 
Mark 4:21-23

Thanks Grace.

Sounds like more TBI damage control to me.

Was there bias within the Holly Bobo investigation from the getgo?  Could it be that TBI Spokesperson John Mehr was stating the truth two days following the alleged abduction ... the truth regarding TBI confidence that Drew Scott and Clint Bobo were above suspicion.  He did not pull those words out of thin air.  He was speaking officially on behalf of the investigation.  However ... when skeptics demanded an explanation to how that was possible ... three days later TBI spokesperson Mark Gwyn attempted damage control.  It is something akin to denying your belly button.  However ... everytime you look down ... it is still there.

The officer (John Mehr) 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.

TBI: Search in Holly Bobo case didn't find evidence
11:43 PM, Feb. 28, 2012

<snipped>

Mehr said Sheriff Jimmy Harris in DeKalb County, Ala., sent out incorrect information in a news release, which incorrectly stated that evidence in the case was found by DeKalb County’s mounted search team. Mehr said Harris was supposed to send out a correction.

The DeKalb County Sheriff’s Mounted Unit completed a three-day search on horseback in some wooded areas near Natchez Trace State Park on Sunday.

The Alabama unit’s help was requested by the TBI. Mehr said the search was routine.

Harris said in a news release printed by The Times-Journal newspaper in DeKalb County that the unit searched using “spiral and grid technologies” that were then tagged by GPS and handed over to TBI agents.

In an original news release, the sheriff was quoted as saying they turned over evidence, Mehr said. The TBI asked the sheriff’s office to send a correction because, Mehr said, no evidence was found last weekend.
