Karen Anne... I saw a creek pic 2-3 pages back. I have seen that before and thought it was in the archive, but I don't see it there, so may I add yours?

It is marked "D. Graves property" Is that confirmed?

The search group, organized by Southeast K9 Search and Rescue, looked for evidence of Bobo on Saturday from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m.

“Anything that would have been Holly’s,” said Southeast K9 Search and Rescue Director of Operations Chris Williams, “any kind of clothing, anything that would be in a purse, school books, anything like that that we could find, anything out of place.”

Though Saturday’s search found no additional evidence, Williams said it was beneficial.

“It’s not that we didn’t find anything,” he said. “It’s that we got this much more area covered that hadn’t been covered.”

Williams said it was important to cover more ground in the search.

“We’re never going to find her sitting at home,” Williams said. “We’ve got to be out here, working these areas, getting this stuff done. If we’re not doing it, then nobody is.”

Saturday morning, volunteers with Southeast Canine Search and Rescue scoured nearby Benton County for any evidence linked to Bobo's disappearance.

Where is Benton County vis a vis the Bobo home or Holly's school?

Not sure if I did it right but google maps shows approximately 300 miles from Darden? Almost 5 hours? Is this correct? :waitasec:

"Seems that I remembered Terry Britt, lived in this area in the past"..

His current profile shows residence as: Hardeman County.

Benton - Hardeman is 305 miles

Hardeman - Darden is only 72 miles

So I wonder why they were in Benton searching? Any clues as to why they would search there? Anything else connected to this case that would bring them there?

I suppose we can rule out a school connection (??) The Benton County School District is located in Camden, TN and includes 8 schools that serve 2,457 students in grades PK through 12.

What else is there? We know it's close to the Kentucky border. Any other missing women from Kentucky that could possibly be connected to the perp?

I'm just thinking out loud for now in trying to see what the connection is, if anything.

 

[~n/t~]

Paige Johnson still missing from Kentucky.

James E. Gunterman is from Southeast KY. He's the sexual predator Bill Warner continues to bring up in connection to some of these young ladies disppearances.



I think JEG is still unaccounted for.

Non compliant. Where is this guy?

In the days following her disappearance, cops say hundreds of volunteers came out to assist with the search, which stretched into parts of Henry, Carroll, Benton and Decatur counties.

On April 14, 2011, Holly's cell phone and lunch bag were found on a roadside in Parsons, Tenn., according to the family.

OK-I am confused...I have Benton County TN as 41 miles or so from Darden. Camden is the county seat:

Suggested routes

1. 41.9 mi, 1 hour 1 min
   TN-69 N
2. 47.2 mi, 1 hour 14 mins
   TN-69 N/US-641 N
3. 57.0 mi, 1 hour 22 mins
   TN-191 N

ETA: Camden is even closer...it is about 35 miles.

I found this on City Data:

It is a list of sex offenders in or around Camden, TN.

...Why haven't the 911 calls been released?

Well, I don't know. And while I, like most here I would imagine, wait on the edge of my seat for information from LE, I know that broadcasting information to amateur sleuthers is and must be low on their list of priorities.

As for why the calls have not been released: I can't guess. I will say that there are some very good reasons why such calls don't get released, though.

I don't know that any of this applies to Holly's case, but these things have happened: Occasionally calls reveal details specific to a crime that LE does not want the general public to know. Sometimes, keeping such details private may enable LE to quickly dismiss claims by nuts who say that they've committed the crime. And there are also ways in which keeping your cards close to your chest can help in interrogations with guilty parties.

There have also been cases in which LE would not want to release a 911 call because details of the calls offer a greater public safety risk than benefit.

Sometimes calls may include erroneous information which, were it not for the heat of the moment, would seem slanderous. Anyone reading this must be familiar with the fallibility of eyewitness testimony.

Now, I'm not saying that the calls were not released for any of these reasons. It could have been one of them, or some other reason, or for no reason.

But I don't presume that it's anyone's right to hear the calls, and I can say that there are some good reasons why such calls might not be released.

A few months ago I sent an e-mail to Jackie Orozco of the local Memphis ABC station asking about the 911 calls, wondering if they would ever be released, but I never heard back from her.

Audio of a frantic mother calling 911 could focus media attention on Holly again. They could edit out any specifics that may impact the investigation.

It just seems so cruel to me-I dont know how I would feel if I were Holly's mom...or anyone else who called 911 that day. There are many other ways to focus media attention-I am not sure all of them have been explored. What major outlets has everyone reached out to? I think I posed this question before-forgive me if I missed the response.

“We’re never going to find her sitting at home,” Chris Williams of Southeast K9 Search and Rescue, said. “We’ve got to be out here, working these areas, getting this stuff done. If we’re not doing it, then nobody is.”

The organization has helped the Bobo family search for nearly the duration of her almost 16-month disappearance. Recently the organization began asking for volunteers, with a goal of 200 searchers.

Dana Bobo, father of Holly, said searches have taken place every two weekends on Saturdays and Sundays. Volunteers planned to search from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. today, as well as on Aug. 25 and Aug. 26.

“And we’re all for that, as long as we’ve got people still wanting to come out and help,” Dana Bobo said. “It doesn’t matter if we get two people or 202 people, we’ll take whatever we can get, and we’ll go search.”
