From what I can tell Drew and Clint resemble each other.

The article I snipped the other day said Clint is a psychology student. True?

Well, we have no reason to think it is not true, I guess. Most of what we have heard, what little it is, is never sourced...

..I thought I heard him tell JVM that he saw the two shadows in the garage from the kitchen window. I'll have to check. That is why I would like a layout of the house.

A layout of the house would be great.

from the inverviw:


VELEZ-MITCHELL: Ok. Clint, it was about 7:30 in the morning. Where were you? What vantage point and what did you see?

C. BOBO: I was asleep in my bedroom and I was awoken by the sounds of our house dog barking.

VELEZ-MITCHELL: And what did you see?

C. BOBO: I saw the silhouette of two people in our garage. At the time I had no idea who either one of the people were. And then come to realize later that that was my sister and her abductor.

VELEZ-MITCHELL: Wait, in the garage?

You were -- how do you -- when you`re asleep -- I`m just trying to get a picture. You`re asleep and then how do you see what`s going on in the garage? Ok, the dog barks, you wake up. Are you on the same level -- it`s all one floor.

C. BOBO: Right. Yes, we have a one story house?

VELEZ-MITCHELL: And you walk into the garage?

C. BOBO: No, I saw them from inside the house and they were outside the house in the garage.

VELEZ-MITCHELL: They were in the garage or outside the garage?

C. BOBO: They were inside the garage.

VELEZ-MITCHELL: Ok, now, ok, is the garage attached to the house or is it a separate, detached garage?

C. BOBO: It`s attached to the house.

VELEZ-MITCHELL: It is attached to the house.

C. BOBO: Right.

I don't think Holly was taken away by a "survivalist" or mountain man, etc. because he must have had a vehicle, first of all, since the lunch pail turned up so many miles away and also because Holly surely would have screamed sooner, IMO, if an unfamiliar camo-man came at her out of nowhere. I think she recognized this person, whether she knew him well or not, and that is why he was able to get close to her initially without her screaming, and why it sounded to Clint like they were talking.

I don`t think it was a survivalist either but the screaming part is still unclear. Some reports say the neighbour heard screams coming from the Bobo house. I tend to believe that version because the neighbour allegedly called KB to let her know. IIRC, this was from the first tv interview with the family.

But I thought Clint said he heard "voices" and saw outlines of people looking at something on the ground...if he could voices, surely he would have heard his sister scream?

It appears this case is going to be like some others I've seen. LE isn't talking. I am going to assume the neighbors aren't afraid because they aren't talking either. Seems like a typical rural town in the South.

If LE doesn't talk, I usually get the impression they have a pretty good idea what happened. I would certainly like to see DS talk to the media. That would be helpful. After all it was said they wanted to marry.

I thought the family was going to go on TV the next day after JVM spoke with them.

Yes that was the discussion when the interview took place. Many of us wondered why he didn`t hear the screams. I`ll see if I can locate the video. It might take a while. I`m not very good at it. :floorlaugh:

Clint Bobo Holly Bobo’s brother, 25 years old, social work field, area nursing homes, psychology student

from Holly Bobo: Who's Who, Case Signal

:seeya: Thanks. So may I assume that he also attends the same university as Holly? He works in Nursing Facilities. I wonder if his co-workers have spoken?

We now have Clint as a person who like to help people. He is diverse as he likes social work. works in a nursing facility and is a psych student.

The mother is a school teacher. Father has a tree trimming business. Where was he that morning? and why didn't Clint call him?

 

[Whisperer]

When Clint ran to the woods, I wonder if he took a gun with him. I am going to assume he is well heeled in the gun department.

Where was Holly's car that morning. Somehow I got the impression it was parked somewhere on the long driveway.

ok found it.

A neighbor had apparently heard screams coming from the house and alerted the school where Karen Bobo works.

I'm sorry for asking all these questions. I should go look them up as I know my fellow WSrs are on top of this. I shouldn't be treating this like it was the first day. I will go to the great link and see what I can find. I think I will have many more questions..LOL>

This is dated May 4th. ........

TBI agent John Mehr told News Channel 3 the man believed to have taken Holly from her Darden home on April 13 is 5'10" to 6'1" and between 200 and 220 lbs.

In particular, Mehr said that people should think back to Wednesday April 13, and try to recall any suspicious activity between 5:00 and 8:30 a.m.

I don`t recall anything stating he ran into the woods but could have missed it.

 

[Whisperer]

I am totally confused because I thought Holly's car was in the driveway...with a puddle of blood and a coke can near it.

Now I am being given the impression that the car was in the garage.

I swear I heard Clint say he walked to the woods and didn't see Holly or any blood on JVM the other day.

I also recall LE saying there were just specks of blood on blades of grass. So, was there a puddle and a trail? Like she walked across the lawn dripping blood? Is that why Clint mentioned he didn't see blood near the woods...because he was following a trail? Did he also see it on the grass?

Whisperer, I found this:

New information: June 3 – Holly Bobo’s family holds out hope for her return

http://www.tennessean.com/article/2...Holly-Bobo-s-family-holds-out-hope-her-return

TBI spokeswoman Kristin Helm said investigators have gotten this account from interviews with relatives:

The day she went missing Bobo put on her bright pink shirt, jeans and black flip-flops and packed her lunch for another day of nursing school at the nearby UT-Martin campus.

Her brother, Clint, was still asleep. Their parents had already left for work.

At 7:40 a.m., Holly walked to her black Ford Mustang on the long, winding driveway leading to the Bobo family’s rural Decatur County home.

Minutes later, the family’s dog barked, waking Clint. He walked to the kitchen window that faces the expansive, treelined backyard to see what the ruckus was about. A man dressed in camouflage had his sister by the arm, leading her into the woods, he later told the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation.

The psychology student went out to his sister’s Mustang. She was supposed to be on her way to school, he knew. Next to her car, pooled a small puddle of blood and a spilled Coke can.

Wide awake now, Clint Bobo ran into his house and called 911. He called his mother, Karen, a second-grade teacher who usually chatted by text with Holly several times a day. Panicked now, he ran into the woods where he had last seen his sister.

Nothing. She was nowhere. No more blood.

Just after 8 a.m. that April 13 Wednesday, police surrounded the country home. Within hours, dogs, helicopters, horses joined in the search.

Underwater cameras searched ponds in the area.

The next day, Holly Bobo’s packed lunch was found about six miles north of her home toward Interstate 40.

[Whisperer]

I am still having a problem that a bleeding Holly just walked along with the perp...into the woods. I am tying to piece this...and it isn't working. I want to believe Clint but this needs to be addressed. Is he misremembering ....trying to fill in blanks?

 

[~n/t~]

Quite a different version, eh

Kitchen window faces BACKYARD? Clint said he saw the silhouettes in the garage from the kitchen. It's possilbe there are two windows in the kitshen, one facing the garage and one, the backyard. When he said silhouettes, does that mean there was a shade over the window and he could see through it? From looking at the view of the house, then a light would have to be on because there isn't any sunshine between garage and kitchen that I am aware of. It would be dark, imo. Was the large door (remote/) open?

That article says her mustang was in the driveway. Blood puddle next to the car. Was she approached near the car and pulled into the garage and then into the woods. Not exactly how a stranger abduction would happen...imo. A stranger wouldn't just make her draw blood and waste time by going to the garage. This type wants to get the victim away ASAP.

The recent interview with Clint is helpful. He hears voices outside that he does not recognize. He looks outside and sees silhouettes in the garage. He does not recognize them. He calls his mother. During his conversation with his mother, he looks outside again. He sees Holly with another person he incorrectly assumes is Drew. Seeing them, he assumes these were the persons he heard outside. And that these were the persons he had trouble identifying in the garage.

You're filling in his blanks very well, but that's not exactly how he put it.
