I had Kimster open the thread again.
The search operations and discussion had been shut down as there was the perception that some of the searchers were being stalked. One of the SAR sources I spoke with indicated that they were not being called in as the PSP had told them the case was a homicide.
I was able to verify that one of the original searchers was questioned by PSP and is no longer involved in the searches.
The PSP did confiscate the rear steps of the mobile home and I have confirmation blood was found either on the steps or on the rear door. Money was still sitting out. Her glasses, smokes and ashtray were dumped on the floor.
The boyfriend did say he saw clear signs of human passage in the tall grass behind the trailer and what appeared to him to be the tire marks of a pickup truck with dual rear tires. To the best of Holly's mom and the boyfriend, PSP did not pay much attention to the grass push downs or tire marks.
I met with the mother, boyfriend and about 20 friends and searchers yesterday. PSP is not telling the mother or boyfriend anything. The boyfriend has been fully checked out by PSP. The mother is distraught.
There were a number of rumors that Holly was involved in risky adult fetish activities. According to family and the boyfriend, these rumors are false.
She has a son, mother and boyfriend that miss her very much.
One close friend had attempted to follow the "sex" angle and found what she is sure was a picture of Holly on a fetish site. She showed it to PSP. They promptly took her phone, deleted all her online searches and contacts...pretty much wiped her phone and told her NEVER to look at that site again. Something is odd about PSP acting in this manner.
The volunteers want to start searching again within a five mile radius of the mobile home park. I see no harm in this. I have asked them not to pester PSP with any sock, shoe etc...unless it is directly tied to Holly and can be confirmed by family.
New posters are being made up for distribution over a wide area. Lots of brainstorming about organizations and places to update with new posters.
I talked to the PI. He seemed not to have much information or leads.
OK, WS sleuthers....ball is in your court!
