TN - Holly Bobo, 20, Darden, believed abducted 13 April 2011 - #11

If he's a hunter (or not) and there's dog hair on the tape, I think the specific breed can actually be identified these days. Really, anything on the tape will tell a story. If there's sawdust, for example, he's probably been around wood construction projects.

True maybe even some of his skin cells...

I got some cheap duct tape here from packing a box... just with normal use its got carpet fiber, fur from three cats, and long blonde hair from 3 diffrent people stuck to the side of the roll.

I'm guessing the tape is our best bet since industrial type tape rolls (duct, packing, etc) can get pretty nasty and pick up a lot of stuff. It's probably the item most likely to preserve evidence, whether it's fingerprints or anything else. If he ever sat the roll of tape down in his vehicle outside of a bag, perhaps enough fiber or material from the floorboard or seat upholstery would've stuck to the side of the roll of tape to identify the specific make and model of his vehicle. With luck, maybe there's hair, fingerprints, or even skin cells. I know my tape rolls are pretty damn nasty on each side. Hopefully his was.

I really hate to do this, but can someone bring me up to speed on the duct tape?

Where was it found?

What is the link to Holly?

Thanks so much!

A smallish piece of silver duct tape was found away from the house wtih blonde hair stuck to it. The tape is real and has been shown on some of the news video. But the exact location found has not been said and no other details are known. It has not been said if the hairs are Holly's, etc. So thats about it. It isn't new news either. It was found last Thursday or Friday.

LOL like i said the duct tape was a wealth of information.

Why do ppl commiting a crime use Duct tape? To me thats one of the things that will give them away. JMO

maybe the guy was wearing gloves.

OK folks, I must admit to some sarcasm. It seems like anyone with a FB account, or goes geocaching, or post on YouTube, or has ever driven through Parsons gets listed here as a suspect. So, I thought I would throw the mailman under the bus with them.

I know, I know, no one has been ruled out as a suspect. But that has to be taken with some reasoning or else put the Pope on the list as well. I wish folks would have some logical theory before listing or implying someone as a suspect.

Please pardon my frustration this morning.

Let's not do this again, thank you. It distracts our posters from looking for real clues and is not allowed.

Carry on.

HB's FB friends are private now.....I was wondering if they were going to do that. I know if it was my family I would have the second day.

The thing is (like Casey Anthony?) the guy probably used Duct Tape that was laying around the house. So unless he wore gloves the day he bought it at the store, there could be fingerprints, touch DNA, etc. on the tape. Even if it is inconclusive now, if someone is found in the future, the brand and type of tape could be matched to tape found in the suspects house, car, etc. (again as in the Anthony case).

video showed where the lunch bag was purported to have been found. From what I could tell there was a road (paved) not much or any real median or shoulder (no big gravely area) and then some grass (some feet not sure how much but not more than 50 feet?) and then a creek/stream seeming to run parallel to the road.

Some reports state the lunch bag seemed to have been thrown from a vehicle. I dont think it was actually in the stream (as if it had washed there). The video focused on the grass.

The wind around here has been blowing extremely hard for the last few months. I think it's possible that the wind blew the lunch bag. It's been blowing my patio furniture and cushions out in the fields, and it's heavy furniture.

If I'm not mistaken, a reporter pointed it out to LE when he/she was walking thru the woods doing her report.

After watching that ABC tape, I stand corrrected. It said that a volunteer found the duct tape, not a reporter.

People are ______ not to be private anyway. Only my own friends can see me, no one can search me on FB, and friends of friends can not see me. I will find people all the time set totally public with their phone numbers, addresses, saying hey Im going out to the beach for the day, on vacation, will be in Australia for two months. Im not trying to insult people but man, be safe.

Im not sure it would blow a purse size, fairly heavy (from what we have figured) bag, full of lunch, 8 miles from the house. WHen it was found it was said to have looked like it was thrown from a vehicle.

Was it that windy last week?

I guess small is relative given a roll has what 300 feet of tape. It was more like "face size" not "king tut mummy wrapping" size.

I agree! Also I'm sure everyone on her friends list who is public has probably had to put up with a lot of craziness from people thinking they can get the inside scoop from them.

Good morning. I am hoping and praying that Holly is found today.
