TN - Holly Bobo, 20, Darden, believed abducted 13 April 2011 - # 1

[hollye]

The property to the north is approximately 125 acres and is agricultural. It has no buildings on it. It is owned by the same person as the property to the west of the Bobo property with an additional 50 acres and is also agricultural without any buildings on it. I wonder if this property is used for hunting purposes and if so, I wonder if her abductor is someone who hunts that property and is familiar with it, maybe someone who knows the owner of that property. The owner of these properties appears to live elsewhere in the town and there is at least one road in the town with the same last name as the owner. They appear to be a long established family.

Additionally, according to the property listings, the properties to the south of the Bobo property are farmland and only have 1 barn listed. The property across the road is also agricultural with no buildings.

So essentially, the Bobo property is surrounded by unoccupied property on all sides.

The closest residences appear to be on the opposite side of the property directly south of the Bobo's, as well as a home across the street from that property and another mobile home just to the south of that property. That is a fair distance for a neighbor to be able to hear which direction a scream came from and to call 911. JMOO!

I added those residences to the map, since they are somewhat difficult to see.

Interesting post by "Ashley" -- says mom was at work, brother was sleeping, saw her arguing with a man in camo, and they walked off into the woods....

Take it for what it's worth.

This doesn't jive with 'being dragged across the carport', though. Kwim?

If what Ashley says is true, it makes a lot of sense.
Explains why the brother didn't call 911 right away, explains the 2 911 calls, explains why no facial description (brother only saw them walking away form the back)....

does NOT explain blood in the car port though..

Also why argue with some stranger in your yard..... if it was someone i didn't know who did something to make me bleed I'd be screaming my fool head off and making my way back to my home... not arguing.. so that lends to the fact she knew this guy....

OR she made HIM bleed somehow..

Do we have a direct quote from the sheriff saying she was dragged?
Could have been the reporter adding in their own words to make it sound "more exciting".

That is what was said on local news last night, verbatim. I am glad to read it elsewhere because I was beginning to think my ears were failing me.

Well, that would be plausible and is about the 5th or so version I've heard. I'm not sure how productive we can be without a consistent storyline.

 

[peeples]

we keep thinking it's her blood. what if it's his.......

Jilted lover (one her current boyfriend didn't know about), she picks current boyfriend instead of this guy.. he freaks out.. says I LOVE YOU... I'd die for you. uses said found knife to slit his wrist or something because he's having some sort of psychological break....

I dunno just throwing things out there....

I think you're right. While googling it just now, I came across the following blog:

VERY VERY interesting. I won't post from it, but it's something worth reading. MOO

Here is a visual of the surrounding area, property lines and the closest 3 known residences. The Bobo's house is on the small hilighted tract with their additional property noted to the west & south. Hopefully it won't blow the margins, but let me know if it does and I will fix it.

I sooo want to discuss what is being said but have a feeling the mods will say 'no'. Can we start a thread in the parking lot so we can discuss it?

Right! That's what I was just going back to bold and underline....walking off together into the woods vs. being dragged off.

Or....he injured himself somehow before she came out.

Well that version makes a whole lot more sense.

 

[cluciano63]

IF she walked off into the woods, even arguing, she may know him, unless he had a knife to her ribs, of course...still hard to tell what is going on here. The blood came from someone.

 

[Carla Lashelle]

the detail that she supposedly had an injunction against an ex b/f who had threatened to kill her is interesting...

I thought the blood being found in the carport was a rumor. Did LE ever confirm that there was in fact blood found in the carport?

 

[belimom]

Carla, at this point I think the bit about the ex-BF is still a rumor until posted by MSM....

ETA: Cubs - can we discuss it?
