I keep going back to the date and time Holly was kidnapped. If you were someone like ZA, how do you get away with not being scrutinized immediately after Holly went missing. It seems Everyone in town would look at him or his gang as number 1 suspect. Why did it take all this time for them to finally get enough evidence to not only arrest him, but arrest him for murder?
....and if he was such a menacing person and it was all about sex, then WTH would he take the chance of abducting her from her home. Why not just wait and grab her one night when she was alone out somewhere. I have to think others were in on this if for no other reason than to provide an air tight alibi for ZA because he had to know his where about's would come into question. They had to have found something when they searched his property that led them not only to the kidnapping but confirmation of her murder.
Why is it taking this long to find her body . At this point I could care if he sits in jail for 20 years until their is a trial, but I do feel her body and COD should have been revealed by now, especially since what they found confirmed Holly was murdered. I find this so unfair to Holly's family, especially when Clint was living under a cloud of suspicion. Impatient???? Hell yes! RUK?
I think one of the reasons he got away with it for so long is he was known as a drugged out meth supplier and user. The violence he perpetrated against women, were women known to him in his inner circle. He did not have any past criminal record showing up that he went outside of his comfort zone to abuse other women who weren't associated with him.
Although I am not sure he got away with it for so long. I believe the TBI/FBI has had him in their radar for quite awhile and silently doing a long extensive investigation all along. Imo, they had been investigating him for some time. Just like I mentioned earlier in some crime shows I have watched where detectives knew all along who the suspect was but for the longest couldn't find the evidence needed to prove the case BARD. ZA is not the only person to be arrested for a murder years later that was suspected as the suspect all along.
It takes more than local chatter to get a probable cause search warrant. Local gossip always runs rampant in such cases especially on an unmoderated board. Most of it turns out to be nothing but rumors put out by attention seekers. I truly feel for LE if they have had to wade through all the lies on Topix looking for a semblance of truth. That had to be exhaustive within itself.
It is hard to ascertain why kidnappers do the things they do in the order they do them. Unfortunately many young woman just like Holly have been kidnapped in broad daylight right from their own yard or home. So ZA isn't some anomaly.
It may be considered unfair to the public at large because inquiring minds want to know, but I firmly believe the Bobo family has been told what proof LE has uncovered that she was murdered. How she was murdered may never be known to anyone if ZA destroyed Holly's remains and they are no longer intact. That also has happened in other cases such as this.
At first I did think others were involved but now I am not so sure. He sure wouldn't need help doing this. Many druggies have been successful in kidnapping and murdering defenseless young women and didn't seek help nor did they need it to accomplish their evil deeds. He may have told others about it and as you say used them for alibis.
People are going to believe what they want to believe. No matter if the announcement was made that Holly's body has been located there would still be Clint Bobo naysayers. They tend to totally dismiss the fact that the real suspect has now been arrested and charged.
When charges were brought against Zach Adams for aggravated kidnapping, and murder of Holly Bobo by default the police has now identified the real suspect, and much to the dismay of some it isn't Clint Bobo and it will never include anyone in the Bobo family imo. But that will not stop them from falsely blaming an innocent man. So releasing further information isn't going to stop that, imo.
I believe during their long ongoing investigation they finally found something that would give them probable cause to search his home and property. The TBI/FBI was careful because they didn't want to mess this case up. It had to be done at the right time with the right evidence to support the SW. They knew beforehand what they were looking for and they found it just like they thought they would, imo. That is why ZA was arrested very shortly after the SW was done and charged with the kidnapping and murder.
What it was that they quickly found remains unknown to us, but because the Bobo family is now convinced beyond all doubt that Holly is now in Heaven, it isn't unknown to them.
IMO
