TN - Holly Bobo, 20, Darden; believed abducted 13 April 2011 - #33

[Karen Anne RN]

I'm not sure I believe anyone heard a scream. We have a report that the neighbor's son heard a scream, yet his own mother didn't and Clint didn't either. And the neighbor's son has never spoken to the media about this supposed scream? And he didn't call 911 to report it? Very fishy in my opinion.

There was a neighbor lady on HLN news the day of, or the day after the abduction who heard and described it in the interview.

I'd like to think so, that the silence has a reason, that they're "playing their cards close to the vest."

But silence serves best when it's used to cover something up, or to make people forget.

Here's TBI on the "drug" matter, failing to put a (sic) by the usage and thus evidently condoning it as proper English:



Don't get me started on TBI.

In this ORIGINAL version, it says Holly was drug ACROSS the carport. Not she was kidnapped FROM the carport!

The TBI version, imo, is the correct version of what was told to them on that day by the eyewitness in this case. The kneeling version came a month or two later.

Holly Bobo was last seen by a family member being drug across the carport of her home on Swan Johnson Road toward a wooded area by a man wearing camouflage clothing.

It's no wonder there is a disaccord with the family and LE. LE specifically said they trust their first responders and what was told to them and what they observed at the crime scene. FWIW...I believe TBI over the local sherriff/pastor.

Absolutely right. I sure hope it's neither one, because that might mean that full attention to the case is not being given.

To me, "drug" it is. I look at it this way; here's my idea of the questioning:

"In your own words, tell us what happened."

"....He dragged her across the carport..."

"Wait, you said "DRAGGED??" Did he DRAG her, or TAKE her?"

Can you see it any other way ?? They're not going to let that statement go unchallenged, that's why they posted it on their web site.

I agree! That was the word used by the eyewitness and not something made up by LE. For whatever reason, it was changed and IMO it was the result of evidence found at the crime scene which did not add up to the version told.

The story then morphed/evolved to different versions which is why many of us are left with knowing less today than we knew Day 1.

The purse revelation was a shocker. A year later we discover Holly was carrying a pink purse with a camera in it. Doesn't make any sense why it took a year to reveal this information.

So she had her lunchbag/box/pail, her purse with a camera in it, her car keys and her cellphone and the only item recovered that was confirmed by LE is her lunchbag.

We don't know if she had a backpack with her school books/papers and whatnot or if she was carrying her books.

One last attempt to give us a little "direction" of where Holly/male walked toward the woods on the morning of April 13, 2011.in the first pic below of the aerial of Bobo property you'll see a red solid colored dot.. the pic that is posted below the aerial photo is a screen shot that shows Karen Bobo/reporter walking IN THE DIRECTION THAT HOLLY/MALE WERE WALKING THAT MORNING..

The red dot on each of the two pics represents THE EXACT SAME SPOT. THE RED DOT ON THE AERIAL PHOTO INDICATES THE EXACT AREA THAT KAREN/REPORTER ARE SEEN WALKING IN THE PIC BELOW IT.. notice the free standing garage in both pics to give you a point of direction.. the small red arrow below the text in red that reads"Direction Holly/male walked"..that small red arrow is also indicating the direction of not only holly/male that day, but also indicates in which direction Karen/reporter are seen walking in the photo below it..

And yet later Clint said she walked alongside him, didn't he? Not even touching? Or he was "leading" her, at some point? So many different terms were used to describe this infamous walk...

LE must either have a POI lacking evidence to charge, IMO, or they are truly incompetent, as it makes no sense to let a year+ go by without appealing to the public on a regular basis for help. They could describe and show samples of any items of Holly's that were never found. It is probably too late now to expect anyone to remember in detail all of the vehicles they saw that day, but they could have been asking that during April and May of last year. I wonder if they had Clint stage a reenactment of what he said happened. I wonder if they tested if a scream would carry from where Holly was to the house yonder.

I wonder so many things...

"Just one more thing" (as Columbo would have said),what do the red letters say by the other red dot in the woods on the left side of the aerial shot? :escape:

I think they have their POI but lack evidence.

Am hoping the labeled photos above will better help with understanding. Not certain at all the importance of knowing but believe we should all be on an even playing field of the basics of that morning. The direction being one of those basics..

If there is still confusion then look at the aerial photo.. locate the Bobo's driveway. Now take your finger and place it on the drive way.. start moving your finger forward as a car would in traveling up the driveway toward the Bobo home.. continue your finger moving forward as if the driveway did not stop.. meaning straight forward over the home.. keep going forward with your finger over the pool.. where your finger is pointing and continuing forward is the basic direction that Holly/male were seen walking and also where we see Karen/reporter walking in the photo below the aerial...
ETA:NEON GREEN LINE WITH ARROW IS INDICATING WHERE YOUR FINGER TRAVELS AS DESCRIBED ABOVE..

The form of the verb used in that first press release is the non-standard "drug," which either quotes Clint exactly or indicates the author of the press release does not know standard English. Or both.

I think they either know exactly what happened yet can't (or won't) bring charges for whatever reason, or they are as in the dark as we are, which could only be due to their incompetence. I don't think it's anywhere in between.

Oh that's my little key. Like a key you see on a labeled map. .the key tells you what the red dot represents. .lol.. the exxact wording says "red dot represents where Karen / reporter are at."..

There was a neighbor lady on HLN news the day of, or the day after the abduction who heard and described it in the interview.

I guess she can be added to the long list of people who have since changed their stories. Now it's her son who heard the scream (allegedly) and told her about it.

 

[wfgodot]

Now we know why they say eye-witness testimony is not always accurate.

It was on TBI's web site, right ?

 

[wfgodot]

Yes. I linked to it above earlier. Here it is. Second paragraph, first sentence.

Here's the link to all TBI press releases on the Bobo matter - all from April 2011.

She might not be the same lady, i.e. Mrs. Wise; she could be an entirely different witness.

This lady is petite, with short blonde/grayish hair. She did not mention a son in the interview.

Yes. I linked to it above earlier. Here it is. Second paragraph, first sentence.

Thank you for the link. I was saying that it was the TBI who said she was drug across the carport.
