Holly Bobo - The Abduction - According to TBI, FBI and Local LE
Tamikosmom:
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.

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.

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

Tamikosmom:
Despite changing stories revealed by TBI spokespersons ... within two days of Holly's alleged abduction ... according to TBI John Mehr ... Clint Bobo had been ruled out as a suspect. Whether or not Clint was involved with the happenings encompassing his sister's disappearance .... he was the ONLY witness to the alleged abduction. In the process of elimination ... in the persuant of justice ... was Clint investigated as a person of interest? Did Holly's brother submit to a polygraph?
On April 17th ... in a press conference Kristin Helm backtracked from TBI's original position and ... conceded the Clint had not be ruled out as a personal of interest but ... she upheld Holly's brother nevertheless.

Helm said authorities decided not to eliminate anyone from a potential list of suspects, including Bobo's 25-year-old brother, Clint, who was present at the time of the abduction, and her boyfriend, both previously ruled out.
"Both her brother and her boyfriend have been nothing but cooperative," Helm said again, "but we can't afford not to keep our minds open. Every detail counts."

In Disappearance of Holly Bobo, No One Ruled Out as Suspect

Clint and the woman's boyfriend have not been named as suspects in the case, but Helm said Monday, "We haven’t ruled out anyone" in the investigation.
"We’re trying very careful not to get tunnel vision," she said, adding that the woman's brother and boyfriend have been "very cooperative" in the case. Helm said authorities were treating Clint as a "witness."

Tamikosmom:
When it is considered that according to Sheriff Wyatt three Law Enforcement agencies responded to Clint Bobo's 911 call on April 13th ... it makes sense that the original account ..."drug across the carport" ... is what caused all the activity ... not the second account reported in a press conference by TBI John Mehr on April 16 ... not the second account which revealed a small amount of blood discovered which was deemed not to be life threatening ... not the second account regarding a walk into the woods with a longtime boyfriend.

Gwyn said investigators have not given hope that Bobo will be found alive.
"We have no indication otherwise," he said. "We did find blood at the scene, but not enough to lead us to believe that it was a life-threatening injury, so we've got to just hope and pray that she is still alive."
