I have never ever seen such a convoluted bunch of contradictory nonsense as we have here!
Honestly there is no way WE can try to figure this out not knowing even the most basic elements of the story. No wonder LE never released any of the 911 calls (which is pretty standard). They keep finding more and more!
If somehing(s) as simple as who/how many people called 911 can't be determined after 3 months, how do we know how accurate (or not) much of the rest of the story is?
Unless I see the family themselves speaking on video about what Clint saw or what they specifically did, I really don't know what to think about any of this.
I think a lot of us figured something fishy was going on a long while ago too. This case would constipate Einstein.
Go go Carla! You were on a roll there. There are a couple things still bothering me from the families most recent interviews and article. These have been brought up on the thread already, but I wanted to bring them back up. Individually, they are just more confusing statements but maybe together placed around the timeline, as we know it, may actually make a little bit of sense. First, CB says HB and abductor walked toward the woods together and that didn't alarm him, but he later "found out" that HB was threatened, because If all he saw was HB walking away what would be threatening about that? That is an odd statement IMO, because what clues him in that she was threatened, I doubt CB thinks that just because he found a little bit of blood around the property(which according to the article was not noticed by CB originally), or because the TBI may have said that to him or he was buying into the forcibly lead into the woods type statements, he was a supposed witness after all! Was there more or less to the CB sighting than meets the eye?
The second is the screams that a far away neighbor heard but CB did not. Another odd statement IMO. There are many sounds in a forested area that could sound like screaming, but to clearly identify a scream would mean it was quite the SCREAM!!!! Maybe CB saw them walking away together, went back to doing whatever he was doing, then heard a scream and thought something is not right at that point. If so, then it wouldn't be a far stretch to assume he went looking for HB at this point.
Now if you are the neighbor that hears a scream, you would be familiar with the comings and goings of your neighbors. This neighbor was fully aware that KB was at work. Would it be logical to assume the neighbor hears a scream coming from the Bobo home, and immediately thinks to call KB at work? Not to me, I think you need to at least try to call the house that you heard a scream coming from. So one could assume this neighbor called the Bobo home and did not get an answer, OR the neighbor did contact CB which sent him off looking for HB while the neighbor informed KB. CB realizes that HB was walking to the woods and now the neighbor calls about screaming, that would be concerning. KB claims she knew something was very wrong after receiving the information that a scream was heard around her home based on "motherly instinct". I fully believe that motherly instinct exists, but KB in this scenario is bordering on an amazing feat of premonition, anticipating the event without conscious reason. So by this example I think it is safe to deduce that there was serious concern for HB safety before the call was made to KB at work, because at this point in the timeline, KB had not called CB yet. If the neighbor was an eyewitness to the abduction, you would think that LE would also hang out around their home, but this did not happen. The quote from KB in the article tells you something about the call from the neighbor being relayed to her caused immediate panic. If all the neighbor heard was screams in the area of the Bobo home, would that be enough to shock KB when she receives the call? I do not think so.
Quote from KB, I was in shock, when I got the phone call. And with Clint being here, I know he was in shock. Until you've been through something like that, you just could not possibly understand. All of this because a neighbor heard screaming? Also, the quote "been through something like that" is eluding to much more than is being released. Something shocked KB and IMO she is eluding to the idea that when she contacted CB with what she knew, CB was already in shock. I'm thinking the neighbor and CB had made contact before the call to KB, makes soooo much more sense that way. CB sees HB and abductor walking away, he assumes it's her BF for whatever reason, short time later gets a call about screams (possibly more than screams) coming from the area and this sends CB off to search.
Now there are a few ways to look at this. You can believe that CB did try to help his sister after the supposed sighting because he heard a scream. Maybe he even caught up to them and this is how he "later" found out she had been threatened, because maybe he was too. I would imagine the Bobo's have at least one ATV at their house and CB being a hunter and knowing the woods around his property better than anybody else would give him an advantage in tracking them down. Would also explain why KB was called at work, the response from multiple LE agencies, why TBI was stationed at the Bobo home indefinitely, why 911 calls were being placed from people not close to the crime scene and maybe delayed the initial response. But this does not explain why KB had immediate concern for the situation.
Secondly, If CB and the neighbor are in contact with each other before the call to KB, then putting 2+2 together would certainly equal immediate concern for HB. I am now starting to wonder how much of the concern for HB was started by the neighbor? Did the neighbor actually witness something more than just hearing screams? Is this neighbor's account what "clues" CB into the fact that HB was threatened? The report of the scream and no follow up to it has always bothered me and with this most recent article, I think this is a much more plausible scenario. This would explain everything that is in the first scenario and also why KB was instantly concerned.
If there was concern for HB safety before this day, then KB reaction would make much more sense on it's own, but I am just calling as I see it.
