TN - Holly Bobo, 20, Darden, believed abducted 13 April 2011 - #27

[Carla Lashelle]

Question: has anyone found anything, either from LE or in MSM- about the condition of Holly's last seen clothing?

Condition? If you mean was it new, old? No. Based on photos of Holly she always looks nice so I would assume her clothes were in good shape and not grundgey.

She was last wearing light blue colored jeans, bright pink tee shirt and black flip flops.

They say that initial witness accounts tend to be the most accurate. I wonder why there seems to be more focus on clint than drew when clint's initial thought was drew was with his sister.

Yes, I know... I am wondering since there is such discussion of the blood found- and Holly possibly being on the ground at some point- if CB noticed dirt or blood on Holly's clothing when he observed Holly and her abductor going into the woods?

Did the last-seen clothing info come from KB?

Supposedly Drew was at work or had some provable alibi for that morning, ruling him out. There is also the issue of motive. There does not seem to be any legitimate reason for Drew to commit the crime. It seems also that someone as close as a boyfriend would not assault someone in her own home or yard but would do something someplace else. Aparently even Clint did not suspect Drew would do something to his sister since he assumed the stranger was Drew.

There is nothing that says Holly was on the ground. She was observed kneeling or crouching.

Clint said at frist it was just silhouettes of people and no there is no mention of the condition of anyone's clothes.

The description of the clothes was made available immediately although initially it said she had tennis shoes not black flip flops. The description was revised a bit I belive in July.

His alibi checked out?

 

[mountainguy777]

His alibi checked out?

Maybe. I don't know.

 

[Carla Lashelle]

His alibi checked out?

In at last some reports didnt Holly's mom call him at work after Clint called her to ask if it was Drew in the garage?

I just watched the family on JVM and if you ask me the only thing that makes CB story all that confusing is JVM herself and it dont help when she cuts people off mid-sentence . Seems to me like the pastor that sat in at the end fits that 6ft 200 pound description also and what is wrong with the LE when do you not release any information at all like the cell phone pings they said she had it with her thats usually one of the first things you hear about in a missing persons case like what are they thinking .

BBM: I thought the exact same thing canman!! It was so odd that during a commercial break, they took Dana (the Dad) away and replaced him with the pastor...my first thought was who is this man that looks to be 200 lbs & possibly 6' tall. Very strange indeed.

i dont see any big deal as far as the pastor being 6' thats the average height of a US male...

Thats what makes the description so utterly worthless/useless. Im a woman and Im just under 6' tall.

He's been the family spokesperson since the beginning and helping them cope.

Not making a big deal of it.... just saying it was so strange to hear the description of the the man being 6', 200lbs and the statement that it could be someone within the community and bam!! There sits an individual approximately 200 lbs, 6' tall. It just took me by surprise is all; just giving my :twocents: -nothing more.

All I remember is mom saying she had spoken to Drew that morning and told CB it wasn't Drew with Holly.

Plus.....if they were praying when they were kneeling...

Yeah, I have to admit, the "hinky pastor" thing occurred to me, too. But I think there are more reasonable answers.

 

[BeanE]

The poor pastor.

There was someone else in the beginning, appeared on Nancy G show, can't remember his name, should check BeanE's blog...

I didn't follow from the beginning, but I can't understand how the scent dogs could have not followed her scent into the woods. If they went into the woods, they had to have walked through them to some exit area OR he left her there. Either way wouldn't scent dogs have been able to pick up her scent as she walked touching bushes or tree limbs. It would be the perfect conditions that scent dogs train right? No concrete, water or vehicles. Does anyone know what the dogs did when they were given her known clothing and then sat out at the edge of the woods where she was last known to be? Did they go a distance and then lose it or did they ever find the scent on the ground near the woods. OH, the odds of scent tracking would be even greater since she was bleeding too, right?

I didn't see this question upthread. Please direct me if it's elsewhere.

Been discussed tons but basically the statement that the dogs did NOT get a scent comes anecdotally from a paid TV talking head on the Nancy Grace show... It has not been really verified one way or another in any other sources.

however there is an interview with someone from LE floating around that does say LE knows where the couple entered the woods.

Myself I think a vehicle was close by and they did not wander around very far past the tree line anyway.
