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

Talking, kneeling, walking casually towards the woods not knowing if anyone is home or how many even live in the home which is is the boonies. Not a serial killer situation.

Well not really... serial killers come in all shapes and sizes. Dahmer, for example, worked on building relationships with at least one of his victims. Ted Bundy could be quite charming and IIRC got one of his victims to help him with something. We don't know if the suspect knew anyone else was home or not. If he had been watching the house perhaps he did know.

Yes, but I guess I was trying to say is serial killers like fast and clean with little chance of something unexpected. It sure seemed risky for an escape plan in the woods unless that's your area.

Its sure scary when you think about how many people are out there that simply want to kill other humans until they get caught. Yikes!

But this was pretty quick, and he did have an escape plan (IMHO) so it wasnt random. And actually if he had not been spotted by Clint he would have made an even cleaner clean getaway.

Sometimes there is a thrill to doing brazen things too. Knowing someone is right there... Could be part of this guy's kink

I think you're right. A stalker, someone who knew her, would also be aware of her surroundings. Her coming and going. Could be someone she worked with or from a place she frequented. With all the wood surrounding her and the water he could have been watching for a long time and waiting for the right moment.

He would also have been aware of the hunting. Maybe he was a hunter. I think this person is local and known to the family or was at least known by Holly. jmo

I have been following this case closely since the beginning. If this was done by somebody outside the general area it sure seems like this is going to be a very tough case to crack. There is a very vague description of this person coupled with little evidence that we know of to lead LE in the right direction. Unless LE is hot on the trail and we just don't know it, it seems a lot like the Brittanee Drexel case.

The thing with Brittanee is the family suspects certain people and her mom has named names and pointed fingers... yet LE lacks any real legal proof to charge anyone with anything. I have a feeling the Lauren Spirer case is similar too... In both cases those girls were hanging out with people who were not good friends and someone knows something but isn't telling.

Question-

Was blood found both on the floor of the garage (carport) and also in the driveway along with a coke can?

Quoting my own question!

I couldn't get an answer to this question. No wonder we are so confused! You can't nail down one fact in this case!

We use colorforms and put the evidence wherever we want it! :floorlaugh:

We use magnetic :beagle: colorforms. They come in lots of colors and stick to metal.

Depends on which account you read...

Clint said the blood was in the garage.

Clint has never addressed the driveway or a coke can in a direct interview

Various statements attributed to Clint but not directly quoting him say the blood was found in the garage, carport, lawn, and garage. The coke can appeared in one statement and was said to be next to Holly's car in the driveway, along with the blood.

We do not know for sure where Holly's car was parked but seemingly it was in the back of the house, not the driveway.

It really is sort of a mix n match crime. You can take your evidence and stick it down where ever you feel it fits best. Inside, outside, on the yard, in the oven with turkey... :banghead:

wfgodot, that sounds like a very uncomfortable gastro-related illness. I hope we are not hit with the Turducken on any searches.

Will carry Imodium just in case.

I've a question regarding the blood as well.

Might it have been diluted, or mixed with any other fluid?

Only those suffering from the rare condition Turduckenus gluttonitus, as the ancient Romans referred to it, need fear.

Good to know. Most of us do not suffer from this affliction (but it does flare in the Fall when carnivals and fairs are popular.)

Let's find Holly before then.

Where are you, beautiful girl?

 

[Rallihanna]

IMO opinion there are people very close to this case that know exactly what happened to her.

Your guess is as good as mine. Very little is known about the blood aside that it was found, it is Holly's, aparently, and that it seemingly is not a huge amount.

I wonder about that. If the family has any ideas, they have gone to great lengths to keep that a secret...

And LE is supposedly one piece of evidence away from solving this puzzle... but its been MONTHS now. If they know all about it, they seem to be holding it in too.

The fact that after 4 months that the family is now doing the interview circuit and making details known to the public that LE had not released indicates, to me, that LE is clueless past a certain point.

If I were in the family's position and had an idea about who did it, I would not waste my time with generic things like handing out flyers, going on tv with a very vague unclear story, and putting out such a general subject description that it could be one in a million people. There does not seem to be any "behind the scenes" action involving the parents, so I think that what you see is what you get so far.
