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

[Advocate1]

So it appears Clint and Mom remember that morning differently.
It also appears LE misunderstood Clint's statement he gave to them.
My question is why are the family not being upfront?
What is the pay off? How is it helping bring Holly home?
What kept the family silent for 10 weeks and what trumped that reason and made them come out guns blaring to the public? I have followed very close and although things dont add up some statements the family has gave are telling. IMO
Family says nothing for 10 weeks.
Family says ALOT after 10 weeks.
Families stories directly conflict eachothers and LE.
Clint looks like he is not being honest.
Family makes it a point to say many times that TBI is not sharing info with them.
Family releases new fliers with personal contact numbers and NO TBI number listed.
What happened at the 10 week mark between family and LE?

I found Dana's statement interesting. I will look for the link but it was at around the time they went andhe said something to the effect of "from now until we bring her home will be out searching"
Not a direct quote.

What the he!!? Well of course ANYthing is possible, and probable, WHY must you bring forth the WORST to light? OMG Have you actually READ about this case? I am offended. If you are not up to date with the facts of this case then I ask you to NOT use such awful, terrible terms pertaining to this with NO knowledge. Btw, what state are you from? My goodness!

Yes, I've read about the case and I'm hardly the first to bring up the possibility that she may have been abducted by a sexual predator and possibly killed. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if a large majority feel it's probable that she was raped and murdered.

I'm from Tennessee, and you shouldn't be offended. This isn't about you.

There could have been a tarp used, but I highly doubt an abductor is going to be so careful to keep any DNA contained in a tarp and then leave a body near the edge of the woods where the person was last seen being led into. Or IF he was that stupid, I'm pretty sure the dogs would have found her body the very first day.

The tarp would be used to conceal her body as he's riding away with it on his ATV or other vehicle, to hider her or create an alibi in the event of running into any possible witnesses, such as saying that whatever is in the tarp is whatever animal was in hunting season at the time.

I think he had a regular vehicle parked nearby and beat it out of the area pretty quickly to do whatever it was he did...an ATV wasn't going to get him far and fast if in fact LE had responded with blazing speed and lighting flashing, IMO...

It was turkey hunting season. :turkey:

Perhaps he parked a larger vehicle (truck, van, etc.) away from the house to distance his vehicle from the crime scene and used the ATV as the transportation unit between the Bobo house and his vehicle. If the perp has a van, he could've driven the ATV with Holly into the van, pulled the ramps up into the van, shut the doors, and driven off with people on the road having no clue that an ATV and a kidnap victim were even inside the van. The ATV wouldn't be the main vehicle, just a way to haul to and from the Bobo's without having to pull up into their driveway and leave out of their driveway.

Apparently he could have landed a flying saucer and taken her off in that, for all anyone saw once her brother saw her walk into or toward the woods...

LE seems to have been sorta slug like. I was surprised though to find ATV's can go like 80 miles and are pretty quick. Still, I do not think he used one. Im not sure thre was a lot of off road/ back woods travel at all.

If there were ATV tracks and law enforcement hasn't done it already, maybe it would be worthwhile to check local dealers, merchants on Ebay motors, and others who deal in ATV tires to see if anyone from Parsons/Darden bought a new set. If an ATV was used, the perp could've bought a new set of tires with a different tread pattern for the crime, and then put the original tires back on afterward.

LE and the family have both said they felt a vehicle was used. LE did ask locals to be suspicious of anyone washing a car, selling car or ATV tires, etc.

Very interesting possible spin on Story

A man claiming to be a serial killer is currently detained in a Mississippi jail. Meanwhile investigators in various states are looking into his claims of murdering at least two women. Out of the women he claims to have killed, he says one of them was in Knoxville, Tennessee. This creates an unsettling feeling for anyone who's been following any of the missing persons cases out of Tennessee including missing nursing student Holly Bobo. Could this man truly be a serial murderer of women, or is he delusional?

If you back up a couple of pages here you will see this guys stories haven't panned out. The people he has claimed to have killed are still alive. I think he's an attention seeker...

 

[helpfindthemissing]

Yeah I read that, again I am sorry I missed the page and though I was sharing new info. Got excited to see something with HB's name and a possible explanation. Sorry again, I will be more careful.

Not a problem...we all do it!

He makes me sick! Just when we think something great is happening and we're getting answers to several missing person cases we find it's some nut job giving false hope! Makes me so angry I feel like ullhair:

 

[CanManEh]

I hate to even bring this up again since i cant post the link and it apparently gave people some trouble to find . However in the JVM interview Jane asks the familly if thier is anything through the woods the way they headed and at the same time the mom says no but clint says yes theres a dirt road and the mom kind of gives him a strange look ..

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.

The reason why I asked that, is because blood can come from several sources in a human body-and the aging of it, as well as if it is mixed with other scents- plays an important part in K9 scent work.

It also plays an important part in DNA analysis.

In other words, just because the blood has been identified as Holly's (although that has not been released by LE) it does not mean there is not DNA belonging to another person(s) mixed in as well.

 

[Oriah]

At this point, that's the only thing I know for sure.

I know that for certain as well, wfgodot.

And it has me to wondering about the use of turkey calls. And also other triggers that cause shock gobbles- such as owls, hawks, etc.

I do wonder if the screams heard by the Bobo's neighbor might have been something along the lines of one of these.

You make a good point but I would think someone from there would know the difference? Also, would turkey hunting start at 7:30 or very early morning? :twocents:
