TN - Holly Bobo, 20, Darden, believed abducted 13 April 2011 - #13

Her brother says he saw her walking into the woods, yet the dogs didn't pick up on her scent? :waitasec: I'm assuming these are trained scent dogs? :waitasec: Something is definitely wrong here! MOO

Assuming Mark's information is correct, I agree with you! I am just reluctant to run with what Mark says because so often the press is hugely wrong and they rarely bother to correct any of it.

14, 234,767 + or - a few. Good guess on my part. IMO

:floorlaugh:

AMEN to that! I remember firstr becoming acutely aware of that after Princess Diana died. People would get up their and talk quite confidently about this being thus and so. And later, it came out that it was no such thing. Did they say, we're correcting earlier reports? Noooo... they just started using the new information. Drove me crazy.

 

[maskedwoman]

With all the rainstorms, would the dogs be able to pick up a scent now? Or, is it being reported that the dogs never picked up a scent from the beginning?

That is a very good question and one that has concerned me. We have had several very heavy rains, lots of wind, tornado warnings, tornadoes, etc., all across Tennessee. A few rains I would consider torrential downpours.

What that means for the dogs, I have no clue.

According to this, it sounds like the T shirts are being sold to cover the family's portion of the reward money. Perhaps the 'vacation' is where any overage would be directed?

"We're going to print one thousand more t-shirts Thursday and hopefully we'll be able to continue this until we have sold enough to cover the reward the family has offered," said Steve Hinson of Amerawear.

"Any remaining money will go to the family"

Wow.

 

[maskedwoman]

That's what I forgot. Mark Furman said they have the DNA of the blood back and they know who it belongs to but they are not releasing the information.
Unfortunately, we don't know any more now than the day poor Holly disappeared. It is all so very sad. IMO

Hmmm... if that report is accurate (big if in my book), it suggests that the blood is from someone for which there is a "known" sample.

Mark said this about the dogs days ago on another show. I believe it. The searches do not seem like they've been directed by any concrete evidence or leads like a scent. That kind of backs up what he said he's been told..imo.

It's interesting to me that the brother didn't get a stranger vibe off the sight of his sister being escorted away-- he actually seemed to recognize and dismiss him. Imo, there is an instinct about strangers, especially in a scenario so out of place. I think this individual may be, subconsciously, known to CB. jmo

My brother's atv has a rack on the back or front (sorry dont remember which, they may make both). This allows him to carry his deer out of the woods instead of dragging them a long distant.

And you just had to bring up that duct tape again......LOL...just kidding

I pray that Holly will be home for Easter Sunday

They do have the racks.....a dead deer or game / is different then trying to carry off someone fighting for there lives!

I do believe there are two sets of shirts being sold.

Chloroform comes to mind...

I am going to ask this anyway. Why do you think they are not releasing the 911 call?

I think part of the reason its not been released is they mentioned the perps name who they think has her. JMO

That is a strong possibility.

The solution to the problem that people have regarding purchasing a T-shirt for Holly to go on vacation if and when she returns is really simple, don't buy a T-shirt. If you aren't planning to buy a T-shirt, then it's really not our business what they do with the money. ~jmo~

It's the perception...

This is the first case I've seen where money is not going toward a search or a reward.

 

[another nosey mom]

No offense intended but why do you think no timeline has been established? I'm confident they will have done that, since there are a great many well-trained professionals looking for her. Unless you mean, why they haven't told us what it is? We have the MIL of a TBI forensic examiner on here and she has told us they have good reasons for what they are doing.

All I was saying is that in other missing persons cases, the timeline from when the last person that saw the missing person would be established and they would have a timeline of events published - maybe to try to refresh peoples minds if they were in the area at that time, etc.. jmo

I agree with this possibility and I think there may be other details given by CB in the call that they don't want released.

The report in the media that the perp was holding or leading Holly by the arm may or may not be true, but if it is, I'm assuming he was holding her with one of his hands. What might he have had in his other hand? Maybe a weapon that CB saw?

I wouldn't run after someone with a gun or knife, but then again, I'm not a guy, so maybe I'd feel differently about that if I were.

MOO

If that's the case it seems they would be hoping that he still has Holly alive and that they might discover him and he would lead them to wherever he hid her?
The only problem I have with a scenario like this is that he might just slip away unnoticed and by the time his name finally does get released he would have been long gone by then.

However I tend to believe they just don't know due to some comments from the sheriff expressing frustration about where this is heading. Just my hunch.

This is the first case I've seen where money is not going toward a search or a reward.

Not being snarky or rude, but the choice should be simple, don't purchase a T-shirt and you won't have to worry about where the money goes.

There is no rule book that a family has to follow when their child is missing. Often times, these families are damned if they do or damned if they don't in the public's eye and that's just plain wrong. The truth of the matter is that selling T-shirts in no way shape or form has any bearing on Holly being missing. I'm just so sad that her family is dealing with not only their precious daughter being missing but having to deal with constantly being scrutinized over their actions. Just like I said, it's a damned if you do or damned if you don't situation and it's certainly a position that I don't ever want to be in.

LE has already stated clearly they know where Holly went into the woods (and aparently, based on that statement, she/he/they exited the woods).

Happy Easter fellow Websleuthers!

There was an article that said that LE believed that Holly and the abductor were still in the woods because they were able to block all of the exits.

I can't find the article, but I know I saw it somewhere.

Off to go hide Easter eggs!:boing:

My feelings and opinions about this case.
I don't think the brother had anything what so ever to do with the disappearance of his sister. He just by chance, and a good one at that, happened to look out the window, and see his sister going into the woods, with who he thought was her boyfriend. No red flags at that time, why would there be. Went outside later to see her car still there and blood on the ground, red flag, makes phone calls including 911.
As far as the T shirts go, Mom is involving herself in the recovery of her daughter, not sitting at home watching T.V. if the money is going towards the reward fund to cover what they offered, so be it. The rest of it to go to Holly, so be it, at least it's not going to be used for tats, a car for the brother, or to pay their bills.
I have gotten no feeling what so ever, that this family is anything but a normal loving involved with the community, church going family.
I'm sure they have been sleuthed on their records, haven't heard of drug arrests or anything negative.
I commend the family, friends and searchers for not going to the press and not compromising the the investigation, I'm sure as per LE requests.
There is a missing person here, the most important thing, is that she be found, hopefully safe.

Hubby & friends were trying to figure out how someone would of done it & its darn near impossible. Unless he did knock her out & put her in a bag...thing is she still had her books / cell & lunch with her. Unreal!!!!

If that is what happened!
