TN - Holly Bobo, 20, Darden, believed abducted 13 April 2011 - #10

I disagree, if a phone is off then it's really off otherwise you'd drain the battery real quick. Either way even if she had it on this whole time there's no way the battery could still hold power & it would be useless at this point.

Standby power on most cell phones is only a day or two max. Off they can last for a LONG time but they will still drain down over time because they're never totally off. Charge a modern phone fully, turn it off and check it again in a month or three. Sent you a message too.

It should be easy enough to find out if the Sullivan attack was reported. Most counties have a crime report in the newspaper or on the LE web site. Going to the web site for the local newspaper and searching or to the city or county LE site should provide a report date. I know here the paper has a weekly crime log listing what has happened in the county.

It was reported. the original article posted on these threads indicated she reported it to police. TBI confirmed the other day they knew about it.

I just wanted to say if Heather Sullivan did contact LE or vice versa I am glad. Every avenue needs to be looked at in this case. So many times something goes overlooked that could possibly have a meaning that someone would other wise think doesn't.

One scenario I've had recently is that perhaps the perp was driving a pickup, pulling a horse trailer with an ATV inside. Horses are very common sights here as well as horse trailers. After the abduction, he could have pulled the ATV back into the trailer, and placed Holly in the front compartment, which is often used for storage; gotten into his truck; and, proceeded to wherever. Wearing camo, driving a pickup, and pulling a trailer is something no one would deem suspicious even if he met dozens of people on the road after the abduction.

I'd never though of that, Good one. :goodpost:

I don't know why, and I may very well be the only one, but I'm not feeling the connection between the 2 cases.

Im not either!

 

[hinman]

I personally don't think that 20 and 31 are the same age group, but the cases do seem similar.

They had a pic of her on NG and she was similar stature and looks. Maybe perp isn't going for age.

Its not necessarily the age but the look. I am approaching 30 but look to be 19-22ish

Depending on how people dress and present themselves, age can be subjective to who is looking at them...I am 25 and look younger than Holly, but my bf's sister who is 30 looks younger than us both! I think if they are related, the perp was just looking for girls on campuses...and maybe these two he was able to follow easily....or stood out to the perp for some specific to him reason. Really hoping I'm way off base though!

How long a cell phone lasts on standby really depends on what type of phone you're talking about. True a smartphone sucks the battery and only lasts a few days, but there are a lot of phones that will last for a week even 10 days if calls aren't being made on standby.

I'm wondering if it is possible for him to have used a horse? I just wonder why they have not mentioned that but a ATV, maybe they did find tracks? JMO

Also about the blood...maybe it is not her's....since they found duct tape close to the road...maybe when he first confronted her he grabbed her, she screams he put it on her mouth and she bit him? If the brother only seen the back of the guy maybe he only seen the back of her also, possible she had duct tape on her being led away. After he gets her to the road he takes it off if she agrees not to scream...JMO

I also wonder if hunter's that hunt around that area have a place they normally park close to her home, like a turn off area. where if someone did park there it would not seem out of the ordinary....JMO

My mom lives in a rural part of Alaska, very much like Holly's area. Her neighbors are about the same distance or more. It is so quiet out there you can hear the horse's almost half a mile away..you can also hear the highway noise and people coming up the road 2 miles away. At 7 in the morning anyone out there would be alarmed with a scream. Gunshots happen all the time but most the time it is dismissed, but not a scream. I think it is very likely the neighbor could hear her loud and clear even at her house. JMO

On HS FB page, back in January she described her attacker as 6ft, dark hair, grey hoodie and jeans. She did report it. Police contacted her then the media.

Police contacted her, but after Holly was abducted, I believe. I have not read a major news source confirming that Heather reported this incident at the time it happened to her, before Holly was abducted.

 

[concentric]

Again, what are the commonalities between the Heather and Holly cases? I listed a few earlier.

she reported it when it happend and im sure she would have called LE when she heard about Holly also. JMO

I posted yesterday about the TN Technology Center where Holly attends...and wondered if Heather also attended a TTC even in a different town. The article referenced stated that she is a 31 yr old business student. TTC offers a vocational business track.

Has anyone heard or read where she is pursuing her studies in the business field?

 

[concentric]

I also need a "confirm" on this:

I was the one who first posted the video where police showed the duct tape with the blond hair by the side of a road.

I believe that on NG last evening, there was a screen at the end of the broadcast that listed the duct tape with the blond hair had indeed been found by the side of a road.

Again, what are the commonalities between the Heather and Holly cases? I listed a few earlier.

Tall, white male, grabs her by the arm, lives in wooded area, blond hair, Bf home, early morning attack, surprised her by car, 40 mins from Hollys town.
That is all I know. We don't have a lot of detail on it.

I don't see a major news source that says that, or a crime report, as Carla says.

True!

 

[Bradjenkins]

I doubt a horse was used because you have to have a sizable trailer for it and a ATV would be a much faster and reliable mode of transport.

 

[Miziree]

Does the LE have a system that puts in info of a certain crime and can compare it with all of the same crimes in the USA? Like do they compare unsolved murder's and murder's to missing people's reports?

 

[concentric]

What about Heather's presence on-line. Could the perp. have shopped on-line or off-line? What are your opinions? That is, if you believe the two are connected.
