I didn't see these posted, but could have missed it earlier in the thread.
The Memphis Fox affiliate posted photos of the Grand Jury indictments.

From the above documents, which really don't say too much, it sounds as if Holly was, perhaps, more seriously injured during kidnapping and expired from her wounds on the 13th.
VELEZ-MITCHELL: Straight out to the "Lion`s Den". Wendy Murphy, former prosecutor, what does it mean when they say he`s accused of murder one, and especially aggravated kidnapping, meaning that she was killed in the process of this kidnapping? I just don`t even want to think about it. But please explain to us what they might be talking about.
WENDY MURPHY, FORMER PROSECUTOR: Well, there are a number of categories under Tennessee law that fit that definition. It`s an unusual category, by the way. Most states don`t have that extra word, "especially".
But according to Tennessee law, that means that probably a deadly weapon was used. Serious bodily injury was involved, which I think we can infer from the fact that there was a murder. But also there`s a possible category that she was taken for ransom. We haven`t heard that yet. But those are some of the reasons that police charged especially aggravated kidnapping.
VELEZ-MITCHELL: Well, we try to speak out in the war on women. Wendy Murphy, former prosecutor, 10 seconds. They have not found the body, to our knowledge. Is that going to hamper?
MURPHY: No, because if they are confident that they are charging him with murder, they found her parts in some way, shape or form, which is pretty awful.

:seeya: In the latest mugshot that was posted, that smile is gone !
:rose: RIP, Holly :rose:
Carla Lashelle, I don't interpret the GJ indictment which states 'on or about 04/13/2011, to mean that HB died from her wounds received during the actual abduction.
Is there a timeline posted somewhere to get caught up fast? I am a bit lost trying to find HB threads on here. TIA.
I know "of" the case but knew nothing about ZA until yesterday.

and sure looks like the artist composite drawing the young girl that escaped abduction! Are there more victims?
Unfortunately I have wondered this since yesterday. Short of massive amounts of blood,photos or video what else could it be. I think some of poor Holly may have been recovered. I hope I am wrong.
It's all speculation for now since LE won't confirm or deny if they have recovered Holly. We'll just have to wait and see what their proof is, just as we are waiting for the proof of death in Sierra LaMar and Heather Elvis' cases. They have enough to charge murder so it must be significant evidence.
Danielle Darnell, who grew up around Adams and has known him since he was a young boy, spoke to News 2 about her involvement in the case.
"I had called the TBI two years ago and spoke with them, and two years later they called me back and wanted to interview," she said.
Darnell explained she couldn't share exactly what she spoke to the TBI about, but feels the information she gave them was helpful.
"Right now, it's the beginning of the end. This isn't the end; it's the beginning of a whole new chapter of Zach Adams. It's just the beginning," she stated.
When asked if she feels Holly could have been killed by Zach, Darnell took a moment before answering with tears in her eyes.
"In my heart of hearts, I've asked myself that question a million times over, and I do. I do believe that," she said.
Darnell also told media that people in the community feared Adams due to "his wild behavior," saying it was "like he has nothing to live for."
I do based on this, from the actual document...
"That Zachary Adams... on or about April 13, 2011... did knowingly remove or confine Holly Lynn Bobo as to interfere substantially with her liberty, causing serious bodily injury (to Holly Bobo)."
she was seriously injured during the abduction and died. That is why he is charged wtih murder committed during the course of a kidnapping or however they worded it yesterday.

Yes and I hope I am wrong. Praying somebody knows where she is and talks. I hope they do go for the DP.

I hope they find her. I kind of doubt they will go for the DP if they haven't recovered her. I've read articles about that in the past and "no body" murder cases seem to be less likely to get DP sentences than murder cases where the body has been found.
I'm not really encouraged by Tennessee's use of the DP anyway. Someone upthread said that TN has only executed 6 people over the last several decades. As a Texan, that statistic does not impress me.
I hear ya. The not knowing must be a nightmare in itself :seeya: Meant to add in my above post I do think somebody got squeezed and talked. And I don't think it was the accused. That gave LE what they needed for those Search Warrants. IMO.
