A thought occurred to me that if a/the perp was there with Holly for 20 minutes before taking her, more than likely, it was someone she knew and was arguing with. It would be a really bad perp that argued with Holly for 20 minutes about kidnapping her, a stranger who had planned this crime would most likely be in a hurry to nab her. IMO, this was a culmination of an ongoing conflict with someone.

To me, nosyone, this is an indicator of an experienced predator. Clint, normally would not have been at home. Until Clint was awakened by rascal; Holly's dog. The perp prolly thought that Holly was the only one at home. He would not have been in any hurry and would first need to gain compliance of his victim. Imo, Holly would not have been a compliant victim, but would have courageously fought the perp.
The first thing most folks do when they wake up is turn the lights on. This would have alerted the perp that someone else(Clint) was at home...
Another indicator that the perp was experienced, is the way he casually walked into the woods with Holly, in compliance, knowing that he was likely being watched. A novice, or first timer would have hurriedly left the area, likely without the victim..This is an indicator of the predator's determination..
There are many many indicators that she had been stalked and abducted by an experienced sexual predator/sk; no stranger to the game/recidivist..
Predators/SKs leave residue/indicators. Many times the lack of evidence, forensics, etc., is a distinct indicator. These indicators/residue aren't obvious to even experienced investigators because they can't be seen, touched, heard, or smelled.. Occam's razor or deductive reasoning seldom works in these cases because psychopaths do not think like we do. Their thought pattern and reasoning is 180 degrees from ours. They are very creative, calculative, deflective, and manipulative, and will fool the best of the best..
In the Mickey Shunick, abduction, it was obvious to most perceptive folks on 05/19/2012, that she was abducted by a sexual predator/serial killer due to these identical indicators..
