TN - Holly Bobo, 20, Darden, believed abducted 13 April 2011 - # 6

[panthera]

If this is a situation in which the perpetrator was targeting Holly Bobo specifically, what would be the motive behind killing her immediately? I personally find it difficult to believe that a serial murderer, sexual sadist, etc... just happened upon her, given the remoteness of the property as well as the small population in the immediate area. And, would he not need to be of that ilk to be motivated to kill her right away?

Now, I certainly can see the individual murdering her after a period of time, in that he would need to rid himself of any evidence of the abduction. But, this would be after she served the purpose for which she was taken, whatever in the world that may be.

Assuming LE is correct with the theory that Holly knew her abductor, to answer this I believe first we'd have to know in what capacity she knew him. Was he someone she had dated, someone from school, someone from her clinical practice at a hospital, a patient? Has she done any clinical practice with those who have mental health issues? Could someone have had an obsession with her because she reminded them of someone they had known who rejected them? Or did Holly rebuff or reject them and they came after her for revenge? Since there has been no ransom demand, is he holding her somewhere for his own sick pleasure, did he kill her immediately, or later? All things we unfortunately have no answer to at this point. MOO

SweetSkit...I don't think that we are supposed to put those kinds of links on this forum. And, we aren't to discuss rumors either. Just trying to help out since you are new.

From 5150 Bound on last thread "the mass confusion & mis-information on this case reminds me soooo much of the Morgan Harrington case. I'll never forget when LE on Morgans case said she was wearing a Panera (as in the bread) shirt, when she was wearing a Pantera (as in the band) shirt. omg *facepalm* "

Yes! This was Mike Brooks on HLN. At least he was one of the ones who said it. It's funny that you mention that, because my husband and I still talk about it. I'm sure it wasn't his fault, because he probably heard it from someone else, too.

I agree that this is extremely frustrating. I very much understand LE's need to keep certain details close to the vest, but I'd really appreciate some of the "smaller" details being cleared up (not that any detail is small whatsoever, but the things that wouldn't harm the investigation). For example, when someone finally confirmed in a press conference that a neighbor heard a scream, that was one thing we could all stop wondering about. With so many people following this case incorrect information really gets legs, and it's so hard to know what's true and what's not. I know they aren't asking for our help, but I just wish someone in the know would take responsiblity and clear a few things up.

All day on HLN, for example, they were still saying she was "dragged" into the woods, even though we knew yesterday (most people probably knew even sooner) that this was not the brother's story, at least not anymore.

I wish the media would be better about their fact checking, but who are they supposed to check facts with when nobody will verify anything? I don't know whose responsibility this should be, but I feel like all this confusion is getting out of hand. Then again, it's hard to keep up with the most recent reports when things are progressing in current time. I'm sure this happens all the time in the media, but I'm noticing it especially with this case since I've been following it more closely than others.

It was Facebook and Twitter links. Those are allowed? Or no?

1. I only report facts, after they are verified by sources. #hanginthere #stayfocused #hollybobo (one hour ago)

Perhaps he's getting lots of question tweets.

i'm not quite sure exactly which links you are referring to, but facebook links and twitter links are ok to post.

Oh...ok then. I was under the impression that links had to come from legitimate news sources like MSN, etc. I thought that Facebook and Twitter would be considered rumor. I just don't want people to get banned over this.

Here is our stance on Facebook, Twitter, etc. Extra bolding by me. So yes, you can link to Tweets IF they belong to a person connected to this case. We shouldn't be linking random people's Twitter pages just because they mention her. These are RUMORS. If it is coming from a news stations Twitter page, that is different.


Social Networks

Regarding Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, and other social networking or blog websites: Links may be used to direct posters to view something on a social networking page. But postings on social networking sites are not considered fact; they are rumor. Copying and pasting, or taking screen caps, directly from these pages is not allowed. Paraphrasing is okay. (Exception: If the Twitter or Facebook post belongs to a verified news station, it may be copied. But a link should still be provided.)

Also, social networking pages may only be linked if they are directly related to a case, i.e. the victim or suspect. We don't want to post to someone's mother, brother, employer, milkman, or postal carrier just because they know the main player. We also NEVER link to minor's pages (unless they are the victim). And be sure that the page actually belongs to the person being discussed. Do not link to someone if you are not 100% sure it is the correct person. And if a social networking is set to private and you get in the back way, you may not post what you find. Private means private!
