From heresay, she had made several calls to HPS regarding JD (threats, abuse, and a break-in) and lived with her brother until recently out of fear. Again, heresay. The calls were acted on but there was "no proof of anything". Again, here say.
Yes, it seems as though whatever he did to Holly between Sunday and Wednesday, he did so knowing he had a court appearance Wednesday...and intended to show up.BBM - So he was due in court before he even murdered Holly?! If he was always planning on attending court, he must have thought he could get away with the murder because surely he knew the cops would show up.
I would like clarification on what custody arrangement they had (if any; I heard she would never leave her daughter alone with him) and to know how he got Holly to come by on Sunday. She told her family she was visiting "a friend" so either she was keeping it from them, or she didn't know she'd end up at his place.
Such a senseless crime.

I can't speak to this specific encounter, as I don't know them personally, but I can say that domestic violence is a vicious, manipulative cycle, and perpetrators say everything and anything to engage in contact with their partners or ex-partners. Gifts or money for the kids, flattering language, pity, sympathy, threats, extortion, the list goes on, and when you get there, it's never what it's supposed to be. It's a horrific way to live, and I'm so deeply sad for this young woman.
I believe their daughter was with the two of them. Then sadly, Holly was murdered. JD then dropped off their daughter with her grandparents, and went into clean up mode...Many people close to Holly have said she would not leave her daughter for that long. I am wondering when her daughter was dropped off at her parent's house, was it Sunday? Or Monday? Or have those details not been released?
I believe JD killed Holly in the early hours of Monday morning either way. IMOO.
Thank you so very much for this. How tragic and deeply heartbreaking to the core. The photos of the break and enter gave me chills. Holly was living in fear.CHCH released an interview with Holly's brother, who seems like a really great guy. Some key things from the below clip:
- JD broke into Holly's apartment in December and completely trashed the place (they show a pic of a glass dining table shattered).
- The day she disappeared, Holly texted her mom and said JD wouldn't stop calling her.
- JD dropped their daughter off on Sunday and the 4 year old told her grandparents "Mommy was choking in the shower and wouldn't wake up."
I really feel for Holly's loved ones. This is heartbreaking.

Previous arrest of JD, charges included assault, cruelty to animals, taking an automotive vehicle without consent and threatening death.
It does seem quiet most of the articles are from January.Any update on this case? All seems very quiet
