TN - Holly Bobo, 20, Darden, believed abducted 13 April 2011 - #16

What of holly's could be easily identified if found laying on the side of the road, in a ditch, where ever it was found?

Hairbrush, clothing, checkbook, cell phone, pda, credit card, library card, college Id card, pages from a school textbook, jewelry, acrylic nail, the list goes on and on. Even something that might not appear to connect to Holly COULD be assumed to possibly be connected to her if found next to an item easily attributed to her. For example, if a library card is found on the side of the road, and near it is a dated reciept from Walmart, that too might be gathered and examined for fingerprints, dna, etc.

I mean, I really don't know. Just tossing out random thoughts.

Make/Model/Color. chances of finding the same phone are slim, tiny if you consider the likelihood of the perps getting caught if they tried to buy an identical one just to throw off investigators.



Drugs come in many forms legal and illegal. I've heard there's a sizeable meth problem like many rural areas (and now urban too) but there's also the "legal" drugs. There are many prescription drugs that are actually legally prescribed for individuals that can lead to all sorts of altered behaviors. I've seen it happen with my own eyes where normal people went off the rails in a very short period of time.

Question: I really don't know the answer to this cause I don't have one but do all I phones not look the same?

Thanks MK,
now I will never go to sleep. :seeya:
I think everything you listed is good and could be easily seen beside the highway except an acrylic nail.

Was her name on something?
Was her address on something?

her school books? and they were searching the grass for her keys/cell? just a guess

Alright I'm officially embarrassed that the smart people here didn't put 2 and 2 together. Come on guys, we're slacking.
:crazy:

Of course we're not sure that's what he meant. CYA CYA.

Of course it could have been these 2 messages she relayed to him

Will Nunley
Source: mother wished to speak to volunteers in person, but it was said to be too emotionally challenging.

Will Nunley
Breaking: The mother of Holly Bobo says she wishes she could come and hug everyone. She understands that people have to work tomorrow.

Oh I had to read this five times to get it. lol

You think Nunley was hinting that Holly's mom is the one who called LE with the tip?
Not that she had the tip, but someone called her and she passed along the information? It has to be what Nunley was saying, right?

I read through Nunley's tweets in chron order.

What I get is that Holly's mom called LE because she wished to thank the searchers that responded to the emergency search call on Easter.

I just don't think that's it, but it could be I guess. Why wouldn't she just call the media (Will Nunley would be a great choice) if she wanted to send a thank you message to the volunteer searchers? It just doesn't add up to me.

MOO

Some other possible items. As a nursing student she would always wear a watch for taking pulse and blood pressure. She would most likely carry her own personal stethoscope. I know as an EMT we all had preferences to what scope we liked more than others. She probably had a student pass to get into the school also. Most students also carry a lap top or a computer notepad. If she had medical problems she might have had a medical bracelet or necklace.

Would that be considered "BREAKING"? Yea I guess it is considering he used that term with the message about the volunteers.

Who knows, he was very vague with the tweet about Karen Bobo calling the deputies with a message.

If she was asked not to speak to the media, perhaps she felt she needed to contact LE to pass along a message to the searchers indirectly.

Was she in the parking lot when she called? They came at one point but turned back around.

Okay, don't laugh (oh go ahead!) but do any of you remember a movie from the 70's called Sweet Hostage? Martin Sheen abducts Linda Blair, takes her to a remote cabin, and tries to teach her how to be a proper young lady. Terrible movie...seriously. But anyway, she starts working on gaining his trust, and eventually sends him into town with a list of items she wants. Every item is a clue to the people looking for her...specific things only she would ask for.

For some reason, ever since I've been reading about this case, I can't get that movie out of my mind. And I hadn't thought about it once in 20 years or more. Go figure.

Could be. Just seems strange to me to term that Breaking News.

I read that Holly's parents drove out to a search site to thank searchers but Holly's mom couldn't bring herself to actually get out of the car and talk to them...

Do you think we'll ever get a clear comment in this case?
:banghead:

It could be about the tip, it could be about wanting to thank the volunteers. Oy!

Good point!!! Would all/most of the searchers been in a central area to hear the Deputy/Sheriff relay the Bobo's message when it came in? However....the message did filter out through the media anyway.

I 100% think the two go hand in hand. Whatever she called in led to the find.

That's what I'm thinking, yes.

MOO

Me too.

I also totally agree. I've had that feeling from the moment they intimated it was someone in the community, but tried to clear the brother and boyfriend. Why would they say that if they thought it was a stranger abduction? That would be so counterproductive. To me, the only reason I can possibly see LE playing their cards so close to their chest is to avoid alerting who they already suspect. If this was a stranger from the get-go, I think they would've released a lot more info. I admit I could be totally wrong.

I'm not entirely sure the motive behind the silence but my guess is they know who it is. We know way less than most people in that area I think.

I was worried about the rules here/what is allowed and what isn't.

Question: I really don't know the answer to this cause I don't have one but do all I phones not look the same?

Older iphones came in white or black but they all looked exactly the same. You'd only be able to tell by the EIN. Keep in mind though all phones have a history. If they were ever used anywhere someone will find out. I bought a "new" phone off ebay. The guy said he turned it on once to make sure it worked before selling it. I got it and used it for months before a button broke. I brought it in under warranty. They agreed to replace it saying we appreciate your business "first name last name"....that not being my name I said you must have the wrong phone. Nope, the first time he turned it on for a total of about 1 minute it was picked up by the provider as a phone on his account. They all leave a trace. I guess what I'm saying is planting an identical phone would only open up the door for more narrowing. I think it's all moot, I suspect you as a local and most other locals know the culprit.

Thank God I have no previous knowledge of anything like this. I tried to stay open minded too but you know, small town, you hear who has been questioned and it definitely gives you tunnel vision.

I don't think there's any reason to be anything but narrow minded. I remember distinctly what Whitney said on twitter when people first took shots at her cousing Clint "you don't know the real story"..you can find it on her twitter page still http://twitter.com/#!/whitneyduncan

Interesting. It reminds me of Gavin De Becker, who likes to ask people with stalkers who may be someone they know, "If you had to guess the first person who popped into your mind, no matter how crazy, who would it be."
Please note: I'm not accusing anyone of anything. FTR, I don't think the family is involved.
