8:30 in the morning is not the middle of the night

I have wondered exactly what Clint did in the house. He says he looked into the garage but how? It is seemingly part of the house so did he look through a door? Did he open a door, look in, close the door? Aparently he didnt keep looking when he went off to call his mom. So he comes back and they are gone?

That's the way he described the events imo. He looked, called mom, looked again to see what he thought was Holly and Drew walking into the woods.

Whisperer did not post at 830 in the morning dear. You did.

I mis-read it as him wondering what clint was doing in the middle of the night. I know what time it is here. Holly vanished at about 8:30 in the morning not the middle of the night.

Thats my point it makes zero sense.

If he is worried about who is in the yard or garage why barely look in then wander off to some other part of the house to call his mom then wander around back to the garage or window and then see them walking away. Thats what a CELL PHONE is for so you can stand there and see whats going on rather than having to trot back and forth from room to room.

I think Whisperer was saying it was the middle of the night for Whisp when the post was made... not that Holly vanished in the middle of the night.
It's 8:30 in the morning for me right now. Not enough coffee yet.

Good lawd....the way ya'll pick apart a boy's simple conversation is enough to plum near rattle my chain. Enough already...
Let's get us a decent southern gal to talk to 'im. We ain't stupid....we just talk funny.

The above statement could be heard in any grocery store line in NC...or TN. Its just the way of speech here. There is absolutely nothing disturbing about Clint saying, "I looked back out." That is exactly what I would say.

What is making this thing difficult is the interviewer. The interviewer needs to ask reasonable questions...and not talk over the answers.
1. What happened the night before Holly went missing...where did she go, what did she do?
2. What time was the first time you saw her that day?
3. What did Holly say that morning? What was her demeanor?
4. Was everything ok in Holly's life? Did she have any disagreements going on with any old friends or boyfriends?
5. Were things going along ok for her with Drew?
6. Did she mention getting any cell phone calls that morning...or any house phone calls?
7. Karen, what phone calls did you make or receive that morning?
8. Dana, how about you....what phone calls did you make or receive that morning?
9. What time did you guys leave the house? Was that your normal time schedule?
10. What was Holly doing when you guys left home?
11. Clint, tell us about your schedule? Do you live at home year round?
12. Clint, what was your normal routine each day?
13. Tell us about the 911 calls....Clint did you call 911?
14. What do you think happened?

And on and on you could go....but at least let them talk freely and explain their answers. We really haven't had a good interview yet...

Agree 100% and I would say that too.

I agree that the interviews we have seen so far leave a lot to be desired. In fact, I think the questions you are posing would be very simple to answer, if I had questions to ask they would be much more directed to the events of that morning. But I find it kind of silly to just blame the media for it. Do you think they would like to ask more in-depth questions? I am sure they would but they have a responsibility to vet any information in an on going investigation that may be shared with the public and I am sure LE laid out a script of sorts to be followed. JVM and these others shows are basically directors working with the script they have been given. The same way the interviewee has to interpret the script they have been given. If you notice the vast majority of responses given to questions are very short and/or non-descriptive, open ended and/or non-sequential. As an interviewer, it makes it almost impossible to keep a flow of conversation going, and IMO when you consider the time frame for the JVM interview, she probably figured it would be better to hit on a few topics and maybe the interviewee will expand upon a point, so keep throwing it out there until it sticks. Answers like "I cannot answer that question" or "I do not know" are usually conversation killers, regardless of a formal or casual setting. DB released the info that the blood was from HB on JVM show, but I believe that was DB wanting to say that. JVM asked about the blood and she got a straight response. It takes two to make an interview work.

I'm not sure what is wrong with an interview when the interviewer asks you what happened first? What happened after that? I don't get what's wrong with those open ended questions. I'm sure that the entire family had told their stories to LE over and over again.

LE maybe even asked brother to do a re-enactment of what happened so they could fully understand what he was describing. Maybe that would help clear it up.

Snipped your interviews questions and they are good and you 100% correct about how it should be conducted!

Adding my :twocents: since KB was talking to HB's BF early in the morning, sometime before or while Holly was leaving, I wonder about that ....and how does that tie into it being the first time in (how long) as it was mentioned that Drew wasn't with Holly on the evening before...

 

[telemag]

I realize that sometimes the interviewer may not ask the best questions, but in this case it's not rocket science. Their daughter was taken and they were on national TV and had a chance to tell their story. To me it just seemed like they didn't really try to elaborate much if at all when asked a question. Hey Clint what happened to your sister that morning? She was taken. HUH?? OK maybe that's was not a quote, but this kid made little sense when answering questions. He gave the shortest possible answers and most of the time they made no sense. I saw silhoettes. I saw two people bent down looking a what I thought was a turkey. That had nothing to do with where he was from and how they talk.

Another thing that makes zero sense to me. Clint looks out into the garage and actually sees two people which later on he stated he thought it was his sister and her BF looking at a turkey. So why does he call his Mom? Hey Mom I think Holly is here, why? Um why not ask her yourself she is just a few feet away from you? This is JMO, but I think he heard more than he is saying and something scared him and that is why he called his Mom. I mean your are literally in the same house just feet away from your sister and you don't talk to her? Also, if he thought there were strangers in the house then when not grab a gun? I don't mean to sound harsh or put this kid down, but these are legit questions and I would think that the police would be asking the same things, but even more in depth.

Drew's grandma wasn't talking about the evening before, she was saying that the night after she went missing was the first night they hadn't been together.

I have been following this case from when Holly went missing. I haven't posted b/c I just can't wrap my head around the events the day she went missing. I've seen some good ideas bounced around in this thread. But there are so many unanswered questions.

Praying for Holly's safe return home!

Don't let not being able to wrap your head around the events of 13 April stop you from posting. If it had stopped all who had similar problems with what happened that day, we'd still be on Thread #1.

Very true. I just felt like I would add to the confusion, but you are right!

Question I never got straight in my brain--

Did Holly park her car in that carport where CB saw her and camo man that morning?

For some reason I always pictured her car parked out in front of the house,
but maybe not.

Could she have gone to the carport to get into her car to go to school and been attacked?

 

[Whisperer]

He meant, "When I looked outside again"

What made him stop looking outside?:banghead:

When and where he was when communicating with his mom and has never been explained. There is a large gap during that call, he left the window and called or answered a phone. It appears he wasn't watching Holly or the suspect/s any longer. AFTER the call, he looked outside again. Why did he not look when he was on the phone? We have a half- hour from the scream till the time 911 was called.

....If he couldn't look and talk at the same time, why be on the phone at all?

 

[wishuwerehere]

Last post, hopefully, so I don't bore you to tears. I was reading this paragraph by Clint. After the sihouettes, he said...

.."C. BOBO: And then I got in touch with my mom and found out that Holly was supposed to be in school that morning and realized that that must have been her at the house and then I looked back out and saw Holly and a male walking towards the woods and that`s the last time I saw her."

This is a weirdly worded statement.

What in the world does he mean when he says he "Realized" that it must have been her at the house??? Who speaks like that? He's in the house, isn't he? I am staying with my impression that this is not a geographic colloquial problem I am having. This is a serious problem of Clint's in communicating an event.


If I remove the word "out" (in dark red print) from his statement, It makes sense. When I looked back sounds better and more likely than using the words, "When I looked back out". Then one could conclude that he was outside when all this went down...and I beginning to think he was. Was he the one turkey hunting? This story as told makes no sense, IMO.

I don’t know if Clint was the one turkey hunting, but there is an elephant in the garage.

JMO, of course.
