Gotcha! Whew. Thank you for clearing that up because others could have assumed what I started to assume. And that's right, I forgot she would more apt be at church than a bar. :doh:
And there very well could have been someone at her church who became obsessed with her. Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than going into a garage makes you a car.
A family infamous locally for its crimes might, in its encompassing badness, be able to keep the lid on if one of its own committed this act. Does such a family exist? Could they have had reason to kidnap Holly Bobo?
I do think looking at recent bookings or just men in the area committing crimes could be fruitful. I am always amazed by how many people who do stuff like this have related, but perhaps more minor crimes on their record. Like, Mickey Shunick's murderer had charges for sexual misconduct.
For some reason, I have a feeling whomever did this has a record, but not one that would immediately make him suspicious. Like, maybe some misdemeanor stuff, but Holly was his first obsession.
I may be way off, but in the absence of further evidence that is what it feels like to me right now.
The search criteria asks for a county. Does anyone know what County would be closest to the Bobo's? Decatur/Parsons/Darden doesn't appear on the list. :waitasec:
Henderson County.
The problem I have with that theory is if the perp was incarcerated for another crime, wouldn't they have their fingerprints/DNA on file? One would assume fingerprints/DNA was taken at the Bobo home, Holly's vehicle. What about footprints? The perp walked into the woods with Holly. Surley there would be footprints. A connection would be made somehow. I think. No?
Thanks. Henderson County is not on the scroll down list either.
These are the choices:
Anderson
Hamilton
McMinn
Robertson
Wilson
Blount
Knox
Montgomery
Shelby
Franklin
Lincoln
Rhea
Warren
Giles
Loudon
Roane
Washington

Clues. Do they have mug shots in the area and one could look at them and see if someone was arrested wearing camo? That's just one example. I was watching a lot of cases via Netflix on the Investigative channel and it boggled my mind at the clues out there on so many solved crimes that were overlooked. The Kristi Cornwell case is one example. Not that the clues are similar, but how they were able to put what little they had together to find the killer.
"Weeping Lovegrass" sounds like a woman in Arthurian myth.Respectfully snipped for space because OMG this made me laugh:
<BTW, I was watching "Bones" one night and they said Weeping Lovegrass can only be found on another continent>
I just recently had a botanist tell me that kudzu seeds will only germinate in the fall.
What??? ?
Tell me that when it's May and the seeds are sprouting!

I'm trying to recall the timeline of those who saw Holly last. She had an 8am exam ( I believe that time is correct?)
4am Karen/mom, said she saw Holly studying for her morning exam around 4am
530am Dana/dad goes to work around 530am, says goodbye to Holly with her bedroom door closed as he's standing next to it
7am Karen leaves for work
For Holly to get to her college exam in Parson TN, she had to drive, park, walk to her class, so I'm figuring at least a 30 minutes timeframe, it's my best guess
730am Clint/brother sees Holly with some guy in the carport, first kneeling, then talking, then walking off to their backyard woods
If this was a local guy who knew the family routine, as is suspected by TN LE, then the perp could've have known Clint was still home, he probably saw Clint's and Holly's cars in the carport.
My feeling is Holly probably walked to the carport to her car very shortly after her Mom left. So the perp sees Karen drive off, then sees Holly come out. Holly's exam was an important one. So if she's talking to the perp for a considerable amount of time, thus making her late, which she knew she could'nt afford to be late, I'm wondering as we all are what went on during this timeframe?
Could the perp made up a story, he was driving to go hunting and ran out of gas, he saw the Bobo's house, needed money, a plastic gas tank, or a lift to get gas? There are a million scenarios, this is just a guess
Because it was stated Holly and the perp were together for quite some time in the garage/carport it leads me to believe she knew the perp well or he was an acquaintance she recently met
Because the Bobo's area has been described as a close knit community, everyone knows everyone and thus LE spent alot of time asking the locals if they know of anything about this case to speak up
I have a suspect in mind and he's locked up awaiting trial, so I hope LE gets a huge break and this guy gets enough heat on him and confesses....
