There is this thread in the basement...I think it is meant to discuss things from various FB pages, etc...

The lunchpail found 6 (or 8) miles away has always been a sticking point assuming the screams happened when "it" happened.

Yes....but hasn't LE felt from the start that the lunchbag and "other items" of Holly's were planted? Do we think they were planted?

Well I thought they meant planted in as to throw LE off from which way she was taken. But assuming something happened to Holly at the time of the scream, the person who put the lunchbox where it ended up could not have been a person who was at the home to receive LE, unless the whole thing was premediated and done in advance of course, which sounds too complicated...

 

[Plumeria5]

Ummmm...I don't know.
LOL

I guess the theory that someone convinced her to come along...and then convinced her to stay away?

No, no...that makes no sense at all.

Did I actually say "involuntary walk-away theory?" What was I thinking?

*sigh*

No problem. You did have me thinking though! Delayed the onset of my dementia by at least a week!! Thanks for that!:woohoo:

Ok, guys I've a good question that I think would be deemed appropriate for us to discuss and within the rules..

We know the answer to does what Clint tells were the events of that morning make sense?? The answer has always been no.. And boy have we tried every which way imaginable to attempt to make them make sense..

What about this.. What concrete evidence do we have that points away from ANYTHING having takenplace in the home(accident or otherwise).. What stone, cold, hard facts do we have that point away from it being in the home??

An example would be the neighbor hearing screams and calling the school and informing Karen.. But then upon truly dissecting that entire situation is still does not point to a definite nothing happened in the home.. Afterall it was at the Bobo home that the screams came from.. But I know there's got to be issues that point away from it happening in the home.. So let's list them..

I'm going to think on it for a moment to see what I come up with..

Even if something did occur in the home wouldn't they still want her body found so they could bury her?
Why would anyone cover up an accident?
What are we missing?
If the body is located what are they going to find?

Does anyone know where they intended to search? That might be behind the cancellation. Just guessing.

This is why I am not sure the whole family is on the same page. I think mom is the spokesperson, such as there is one, and says what she is told to say. As far as a search, I don't think any areas had been determined, it was just to raise funds for the possibility of pro searchers as far as I know.

I still get the feeling that Holly's mom is truly in the dark, maybe even Dad if he is really out beating the bushes daily.

An accident might be covered up to save face; or it might be felt that authorities might not see it as an accident, and would arrest someone and hold that person criminally responsible.

As for the "What are we missing?" - well, probably everything!

Maybe LE searched the home with the family's permission and didn't find any signs of foul play. That's pretty common when a person goes missing and it's usually done at the first response to the 911 call. LE can usually spot things that seem out of the ordinary when anyone else couldn't see it.
I think if they had any suspicion that something had happened in the home, we would know about it by now.

Hey, I didn't even know we had a basement, I thought this was a one story apartment! :waitasec:

IF Clint was covering up some kind of accident, then I don't believe the parents know. I could be wrong, but if he is responsible, they either don't know or it's not being made public and they are keeping it quiet for the sake of their reputations. These are people who have a good standing in the community, they would want to protect that as long as possible.

 

[Lera213]

I haven't followed this case in a long time so forgive me. HB mother is married to her 2nd husband right? The man she is married to is HB step-dad. Ok where is HB bio dad? Has there been any information about him? I'm not suspecting him of anything I'm curious is all.

I have never heard that he is a stepdad.

That is kind of what I was saying, that I don't think mom knows anything, at least. But honestly would they rather she be left...out there someplace? I don't know if I actually believe anything happened within the family, but no thanks to them if I don't. They sure are not helping matters in trying to get all help offered, etc...

So all this talk about accidents have me thinking(uh oh) what kind of real accidents could have happened that someone would feel necessary to cover up because they were concerned it may not look like an accident?

A few I could come up were:
- perhaps accidentally hit by a bullet(would be too much blood I think)
- hit by an arrow(people do bow hunt, and wouldn't necessarily produce a lot of blood)
- backed over/hit by a car
- argument where someone is pushed and falls

And thats all I can come up with for now at least.

Another thing of note, being a rural area and all, and certainly not trying to be grim, but after the guy from canada, any missing person always makes me think.... does anyone own hogs?

 

[Lera213]

OH my bad, so DB is her bio dad. OK thank you. See been a while since I read this thread and had forgotten.

 

[Lera213]

I just spent 30 minutes reading a nut job's website stating that HB abduction is a hoax and only geared to generate funds from different or certain organizations. A LOONY! He even stated that he contacted the TBI. I'm glad he did so now they can watch the loon.

 

[cluciano63]

Now someone on FB is saying Karen did not want what seems like a celebration on Holly's birthday, a painful day...and that they did not want people to do these things without asking. I can't tell if this person knows Holly's mom or is giving her opinion...FWIW

I'll take the "Accidental bullet" for $500, Alex.

JK....you have a good list going there.

I'm truly in the dark...with Holly's mom.

Can someone tell me what's going on out there in the light?

 

[cluciano63]

Okay, now the whole conversation on FB is gone...poof.
