TN - Holly Bobo, 20, Darden, believed abducted 13 April 2011 - #26

[Whisperer]

Hes 25 shouldnt he be done school?

:dunno:

 

[Whisperer]

I know it's not a popular thing to say around here, but everytime I hear the family speak, and things change.....I focus on thier behavior....and I wonder.....

I hear ya! I understand what you mean.

Any confirmation if the family has an attorney?

 

[BeanE]

All I have to say is - I'm really gonna miss that carport.

 

[cluciano63]

I think it past time that the Bobo family should worry about what LE thinks and just tell it like it is. They seem to be holding back and at this point, I can think of no good reason to be doing so. I think they get mixed up by certain questions because they have been told the media has no business knowing, etc...and it comes out all jumbled.

That said, I don't really understand some of the basic changes I've heard, such as who called who, who placed 911 calls and where Holly was actually first seen. Those things should not change.

 

[BeanE]

I think we need to make a list of what Karen, Clint, and Dana have each said. What they've said directly, picking it out of videos - and not what anybody else - reporters, LE, anybody - has said they've said.

 

[BeanE]

After that, I don't have a clue right now what we should do. :floorlaugh:

I've never seen anything in MSM. Or anywhere really.

We were kinda waiting for you to produce this in easy-to-follow format for boneheads like me

I really don't think Clint is involved.

Do we know when Holly's parents left the house that morning? I know Holly was up at 4:30 AM studying. Clint would need time to hurt Holly, figure out what he was going to do and then go on a 16 mile roundtrip journey to drop off the lunchpurse as a diversion. Police were at the house at about 8:00. Seems implausible to me.

I read about this being similar to the LS case so I tried to read through most of the topics. I don't think it is related to LS, but wow this is a frustrating case. I must have scanned through at least 20 topics discussing what happened and I still don't know how that morning went down. So, the brother sees her with an adult male in the carport/garage...adult male does something that makes Holly bleed and drop her coke...Holly and adult male walk away, but she ISN'T being dragged...when this is happening Clint calls his mom and says hey, Holly is with some guy and somehow the Mom knows it isn't the boyfriend and starts freaking...somewhere in there and supposedly after they walk away a random neighbor hears screaming and calls 911 and/or the Mom?

So. Many. Questions.

This much I know: If the family keeps talking, then this case will stay on top of the threads page!

Ok another point... If Clint saw them in the garage how far away was he? The original story had him catching a glimpse of camo man from a distance out in the yard. So, if they are in the garage, how did he see camo man? I assume he went to the door to the garage and looked in. How big is a garage? Our two car garage is what 20 feet square? Even if holly and camo man were at the far side they wouldn't be that far away! Something just isn't right.

Part of me wants to say Clint knew who this person was, and that's why he called his mom and perhaps that's why she seemed to get so emotional before anyone knew what happened. But then I can't imagine having an idea who the person was, yet having the basically useless description for public consumption.

Oddly this version of events does remind me of original, loose reporting which mentioned a confrontation in the garage, before that story was pooh poohed.

 

[shefner]

Perhaps because the "garage" is attached, it was initially called a "home invasion?"

I need to go back and view the house again.

Well THAT shouldn't take very long! :banghead:

This absolutely makes no sense! This is like the 10th different story I have heard about what happened that morning.

I thought we had confirmed that the garage was closed in and made into living space...and the carport was to the rear of the home and did not have a door on it but was 3 sided. So that is not true now?


And I wonder, if Clint had already called his mom concerned about who was outside, then why didn't he go out when he saw Holly walking with someone towards the woods? I mean...he could have walked out and called, "Holly, what are you doing? I just called mom. Don't you have class today?"

I feel like I am living in "Bizarro World" when dealing with these criminal cases.

Why would you call your mother if you hear voices outside to begin with?

What is she going to do... say "Oh yes, I invited some people over to talk outside our house." :waitasec:

This isn't like when I woke up and there was a strange vehicle parked in our driveway... so I called my Dad and verified he knew about it.

Or when I saw the very drunk guy opening car doors, finding hornet's nests... and called my Dad to ask him if he wanted me to call the cops or videotape him. :floorlaugh:

Calling your Mom because you hear people outside (who may or may not be your sister) makes no sense to me.
And I obviously, don't do things like most typical people would. :crazy:

 

[Darcyline]

I don't really get why he would call his mom if he just saw Holly talking to a guy anyway. Would it be very strange for a neighbor or friend or boyfriend to be talking to her?

Well like I figured he's not 5 just say hey what's up. If there's people in the garage or talking outside GO LOOK. I don't get it. I will be upstairs and hear stuff downstairs and I go see what it is ... It never occurred to me to call someone XX miles away to ask them.

My brain hurts :banghead:

 

[cluciano63]

If there was reason enough to be concerned to call mom, even more reason to get down there and ask Holly if she is okay, IMO...

 

[shefner]

Well, if he saw two people he wasn't sure about talking in the garage, he might call his mom and say, "Did you or dad ask some guys to come over here and do some work in the garage today? Holly's car is still here...is she not in school?"

I have been back to BeanE's Case Signal (which is magnificent, by the way) and looked at several views of the Bobo home. I just can't figure out where the garage is located. In the aerial view, I do see the "carport" or what I think is the carport to back of the home, near the woods. That detached building is where I assumed Holly parked and was taken that fateful morning. But Clint now says it was the garage attached to the home...and I can't find where that is.

Could it be that they know who the abductor is, but he is from a prominent family who is very protective of Sweet Little Abductor Boy, and LE can't find enough evidence against him....so they are waiting until he makes a big mistake or they have better facts? I don't know...it's late and I'm confused. There has to be an answer....somewhere.

 

[Rallihanna]

A lot of people have been very critical of LE on this case - but what if they also have received these multiple story versions? no wonder they haven't gotten anywhere...

 

[wfgodot]

I agree on the possible multiple versions being an impediment to LE.
But the TBI has not impressed me at all in its ability to work a case.
