Hi Carla!


I think many of those Rumors will eventually be truth!
 
'
I think the storms last night knocked many of them off line i hope they are ok
alot of lives were lost 178 ....
 
Hi Shefner, I'm sorry to hear about what you and your family have gone through. That sounds incredibly frightening. In Holly's case, I don't think we have any confirmation that a similar situation existed.
 
I am still new, so I am wondering how do I PM a moderator so that I can ask for permission to post some information that I just stumbled across? TIA

You can scroll down to the bottom to 'view forum leaders', or you can hit the 'alert' button (the red/white triangle) in the top right corner of each message box (such as the one where you asked the question) and ask them that way.

Yes. I think that it's hard for a lot of people to understand life in a rural area and how people really are a bit different in their "ways" than those in the big city. I grew up in a big city in California and now live in Nashville, but I lived in rural areas for a lot of my life in between (Alaska) and can tell you that its just a different kind of life. I don't fault anyone because they don't understand it. I can't understand a lot of things about big city living, and I live in one! :D

ITA. The boys in a community like this are raised on hunting, fishing, camping. His father runs a business that's very dependent on weather. Or maybe he just looked out as he was passing a window on his way to the fridge or coffeepot. I think we are really starved for news if we are now scrutinizing why people look out the windows of their own homes!

That's what I was thinking - that he was walking past a window and just happened to notice them outside.

FYI, I'm from a small rural town and everyone wears camo. My dad and older brother hunt anything that moves so they wear it a lot. But even my younger brother who doesn't hunt at all wears it to work in the yard, etc. He has two sons (8 and 2) who also wear camo hats, pants, etc. As a teen, I had camo pants and shorts. I now live in a metro area yet my own children (DS and DD) both have camo shorts.
 
I'm curious.... A lot of people believe that Holly is stashed somewhere in the woods or in a cabin. I wonder if they would still think that if the man she was seen with was wearing jeans and a t-shirt or a full on suit and tie?

I sadly don't believe Holly is still alive. Based on how long she has been missing the statistics are totally against a live Holly. I think the "clues" found may have been thrown out the window of a car by the abductor or Holly herself.

I really hope I am wrong and Holly is somewhere safe.

I wasnt SCRUTINIZING i was wondering if maybe he HEARD something outside like voices a car door slamming heck no one even knows what room hes in
I was just wondering if he heard something that made him look.
 
I've not seen it mentioned what kind of business HB's father has?
 
OldSteve:

Holly's father is in the tree trimming business.
(I'll get a link if I need to, but I'm sure someone will get back on here with the link that has already been posted upstream in the threads.)

When I thought of the tree trimming business, my mind went to:

I wonder if they have logging there, and if so, I posted: Wonder if they are searching on logging roads? No one answered. But later I did read in an article, that the searchers are searching ATV trails and logging roads.

The reason I ask is obvious, and there have been many cases where perps. have gone down logging roads to leave their victims.
 
Hi all,
I've been lurking since the second day of these threads. Question: Where is the link to the basement thread? I've been apart of WS for about a year but rarely post so I am unsure of this.

My theory on this is that Holly was clearly lead away by someone she is familiar with. It seems to me that this man was "trying to show" Holly possibly a turkey that he killed etc. Looking at the maps its entirely possible that he had a planned get a way with her. I want to believe that she is still alive but at the same time I don't think she is. It tells me a lot that LE has stuck to searching within the town. I wish they would release more information to the public because we really honestly don't have much to go by. It seems that we are just going in circles now, which is a problem.

As far as the items that have been found...it is possible that it is the perp trying to screw up the investigation. There have been cases where the perp has helped LE (Zahra Baker) to find things they may need. I think that the perp in this case is starting to think they have gotten away with though. And that makes me livid to think that someone is walking around town thinking they have gotten away with it. Any way that's just my two cents.

Also, I have a friend who has just finished her last year in nursing school (she graduates in about three weeks), and I was wondering what year Holly was at as of right now? I know that, according to my friend, you have to do a lot of on site exams at the hospital towards finals. Is it entirely possible that someone at the hospital she was working/interning at maybe got a little obsessed with her and then started planning this whole abduction thing?
 
Back to the morning of the abduction.
As far as I can tell the theory has been that the brother saw Holly being led to the edge of the woods. It would help if we had more information knew which direction the brother was looking out the window. Was the carport and driveway in view? Supposedly we are lead to believe they either walked or took off through the woods on an ATV and at a later point Holly was put into a car and whisked away. What was done with the ATV, did the perp leave it behind or take the time to trailer it off?
I have had a nagging question in the back of my mind but what if the perp parked at the Bobo property, maybe even in the driveway. Holly could have put up a fight which caused the blood in the carport at that time, which would explain why no further blood evidence found trailing to the woods and would also explain why search dogs also stopped at the tree line.
Is it possible clint saw Holly and perp outside which seemed innocent then jumped in shower? The perp walks her back to the carport where she resists and Clint heard the scream or commotion in his own driveway?

JMO and nagging questions

I'm starting to believe the same, I think a lot of this is an attempt to smoke out the suspects.
 
Why a cigarette butt? There could be dozens, even hundreds of butts up and down the road, and unless someone saw Holly in the car with the perp, and saw him throw that butt out the window and got out and flagged the location... how is that going to help them? So are they going to test DNA on every cigarette butt they found on that stretch of road? And if they do... how is that going to find Holly or the kidnapper? What would they compare it to? Doesn't make sense. No offense intended, just trying to think logically.

I don't know what they were looking for out there, but my guess is, it was something personal of Holly's... her cell or parts of it, a piece of jewelry, a shoe, a purse or wallet... something that might lead them to her.

If they have a particular perp in mind that perhaps works at MTS and know he smokes a specific brand of cigarettes, they could test it for his DNA. And yes, I believe that they would test every cigarette in an area (but probably not for miles of road..) if needed.

Not saying that's what they were doing, just throwing that out as a possibility. If they had to be down on their hands and knees to find whatever it was, it had to have been small and they had to have something specific in mind that they were searching for.

Greengreen commented in an earlier post that she thought they did the entire stretch of road in which case you are correct that it is probably not a cig butt.
