I have to bring up Clint's unusual attitude, behaviors, statements regarding the trail through the woods that he, alone bears witness to Holly/male walking to(and suppose even possibly witnessed their going as far as to enter the woods on that specific trail.. Atleast he seems to indicate this at times).. I am further flabbergasted at this individual's statements, behaviors, and attitudes..
I need to know why in God's creation was Clint under the impression "that they'd likely not be getting Holly back anytime soon" while LE, fam, etc were first arriving and he was to have been writing out his statement to LE of the events that had just occurred?!?!
He would have BEEN THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS IMPRESSION BY ANY STRETCH OF THE IMAGINATION..IMO.. With LE having arrived LESS THAN 10 Minutes from when he witnessed Holly/male casually walking towards the woods.. With the circumstances what they were it's my opinion that in the beginning the opinions, thoughts, views were the exact polar opposite of what Clint states that his were in his believing they'd not be getting Holly back anytime soon!?!? Again, really?? WTH?? Why in the world would he think this when it'd only been less than 10mins from when he'd personally last laid eyes on his sister, the response time is truly unheard of, remarkable in very positive ways of truly having such a small window of literal single digit minutes to have elapsed for the perp being ahead of LE.. It is unheard of.. And I know all of us here in the beginning fully recognized how remarkable it was and many if not most were of the strong belief that this was a huge positive working in Holly's favor and with there being single digit amount of minutes between brother seeing her walking towards the woods(not even counting the minutes it would have taken from that point of their taking the trail thru the woods to where a vehicle had to have been waiting, and then for him to get her into the vehicle and then leave the area.. Once that is combined into the amount of time we are talking literally maybe 5minute head start ahead of LE.. Why in the hell would the eye witness, the brother who knew for certain that he'd just had his eyes in his sister moments prior.. Why him most of all would not be overly positive of Holly quickly being found blows my mind?!?!
Instead we learn from Clint himself the truth of what he felt could not have been more polar opposite.. With his stating he felt that they'd not be getting Holly back any time soon???
Truly within my heart of hearts this is only further directly indicating that what he is telling us is the sequence of events is NOT AT ALL ACCURATE TO WHAT ACTUALLY OCCURRED THAT MORNING!!! IMO his attitude, his words, his demeanors, and his very own account is indicative of polar opposite of whT is claiming to have happened..
Why was this individual so preoccupied with this entrance and trail thru the woods..?? To the point of being preoccupied away from his LE given task at hand of writing out his exact account of the mornings events.. But he instead feels so strongly about this area.. Even tho according to him he never even saw them actually enter but rather at the time he witnessed the two they were merely walking towards the woods.. His need to keep people away, including his mother in telling her to stay away from and do not go down the trail.. The trail that actually his mom had directed him to go with gun in hand and go after the man with Holly(We know Clint never did.).. IMO mainly because according to Clint the entire duration of all of the events of that morning he firmly believed the male to be Drew. He discredited his moms direct statements to him stating IT WAS NOT DREW.. Each time by continuing to believe it was Drew.. Never becoming in the least bit alarmed(his statements), continuing to discredit his moms fears and statements, and only becomes alarmed as LE are heard on Swan Johnson Rd(his statements)..*
Now suddenly a few moments later and he goes from feeling no alarm or worry of his sister's well being.. To his stating that he knew they'd likely not be getting Holly back anytime soon.. WTH?? Really??
I just cannot stress enough just how very alarming these details of this case are.. And they defy logic as well as they are as nonsensical as anything I have EVER SEEN OR HEARD?!?!
*WTH? Why of all people would Clint Bobo at that time and place have been of the opinion, attitude, view that they'd not be getting Holly back anytime soon?? Now really?? Why??
Why the sudden preoccupation of that one particular area?? To the point of directing his mother to not go on that trail(when fact is that's exactly what she did.. Just as I would have too.. As a mom desperately running after your child you know was there just moments before).. Clint desperate to keep people away from this area.. But no concern of an area where he'd actually seen a puddle of fresh blood, *that so easily could have been the perps.. A direct DNA link to the perp.. Talk about something to be preoccupied with keeping people away from.. But nope per Dana(who didn't even arrive home til ATLEAST 8:30am) the open garage had ppl walking thru it, milling around the blood and some being just nosy..
But Clint mind you was worried about preserving the perps footprints cuz thats all they got(per Clint's words).. Does that make sense?? When in the garage there's a puddle of blood easily belonging to the perp that would be a DNA link to the perp.. But yet there's ppl all over and around that area.. Clint is preoccupied with the entrance to the woods and the trail thru it.. Along with being of the mindset that they'd not be getting Holly back anytime soon!?!?! Hello?!? WTH?!?
What do you guys make of that issue?!?

Hi Smooth -
IMO, Holly and the abductor were already 10 - 15 miles away, by the time the first officer arrived at the scene. ("A mile a minute. That's how fast your child can disappear." -Marc Klaas.) They were driving at a high rate of speed, possibly on the freeway, and still driving further away. Clint may have realized that by the time orders were given out to officers, they would be further away still, and the chances of finding her right now, is not looking good.
I believe the abductor knew that he had been seen by Clint, and that the area would be flooded with officers in a matter of minutes. He knew he would have to get away from there as fast as possible.
I doubt he ever in his wildest dreams, would have thought when he first planned this, that there would be Sheriffs and Deputy Sheriffs from 3 counties, The TBI, The FBI, US Marshalls, SAR dogs, SAR Teams, dive teams, Black Hawk helicopters, and paragliders here.
I believe that the abductor had a gun on Holly, and Clint saw it, realizing that this guy had absolutely no intention of letting her go, another reason for his hopes to be dimmed a little. I think he then backed off, in hopes he wouldn't hurt her.
IMO, officers didn't start the search far enough out, to prevent them from getting away. They should have set up immediate road blocks, @15 miles out, on 412 and 882, in both directions of travel, on each one.
I believe that by the time it sunk in, for Clint, that it truely was not Drew who took her, he went into a deep shock, and that usually causes slowed reactions, and mild to moderate confusion, and the inability to tell a story in detailed step by step sequence. Most folks bounce all over the place when they give an interview when they're upset.
None of the accounts of events that day that I have seen, has included all details, and that's why they appear to be differing accounts. Truthful statements from witnesses are usually like that. The first time they tell it, they tell a string of events. The next time, they may have remembered a few more details, and add them. Then the next time a statement is given, maybe the person is tired, and they'll give a general synopsis of the crime. So while they are all true, they appear different.
I believe that all 2nd witness interviews should start out by the investigator saying, "Take a deep breath, and try to relaxe. Then tell me in your own words, step by step, what happened. And take your time ."
The first interview I think should be listened to as fast as they want to recount it, so if there are urgent matters, they'll likely get to those first.
To add to it, it is generally thought that if this is a recovery, and not a rescue, it will be within 3.5 - 5 miles from the point of abduction.
So I throw up my hands in utter confusion.
all moo, as usual
