Mark Gwyn, director of the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, announced the current reward offered has tripled to $75,000 thanks to a $50,000 commitment from Tennesee Governor Bill Haslam at a press conference yesterday at the command center.
Also during the press conference, Gwyn stated that Clint Bobo, Holly’s brother and witness to her walking into the woods with a man dressed in camo he thought was her boyfriend, was NOT able to provide a description.
..”As you know, at this time, we have one eyewitness, that’s Holly’s brother, and he was not able to give us a description…”… Mark Gwyn, TBI
Yesterday, Holly Bobo’s cousin, Whitney Duncan, appeared on Fox News and Good Morning America, thanking the public and asking folks to keep searching. She also appears to have lost her patience with speculation about her cousin Clint, possibly being not only an eyewitness, but a suspect.
Whitney Duncan Tweet
Duncan’s sentiments were echoed by newly appointed family spokesperson Kevin Bromley as he appeared on the Good Morning America Show this morning:
“Clint is a wonderful young man and as a character witness for him, I would rule out any kind of rumors on Clint and the family would feel comfortable with me saying that as well,” said Kevin Bromley, a spokesman for the Bobo family.
The 7th day of the search began again today, at the new command center, The National Guard Armory located at 256 West 9th St, Parsons.
Kristin Helm, spokesperson for TBI announced yesterday they were choosing to move to this location due to the amoung of evidence that has been collected, and their need for enhanced security.
TBI has decided on a new tactic today, as reported by Will Nunley, of WBBJ-TV there is a roadblock set up on Myracle Town Rd and twelve new investigators from TBI have been added to the case this morning. (Editors Note: Nunley has been doing a stellar job in the field on this case, kudos, follow his tweets.)
This investigation is beginning to sound very much like how Canadian Air Force Colonel Russell Williams was nabbed – by a roadblock where the tires on his vehicle were spotted by an eagle-eyed investigator and were visually consistent with tire treads found at the scene of one of the murdered women.
Speaking of tires, www.blinkoncrime.com has uncovered what has been determined to be “materially relevant” to the case of the disappearance of Holly Bobo, by a source inside the investigation speaking to blinkoncrime.com on the condition of anonymity.
While our source will not comment on whether one or both ads are a part of the case or who they might be tied to, the ad from Parsons, appeared at 12:33AM on April 17, before the public was asked to notice who may have replaced tires or cleaned an ATV or vehicle.
Two ATV tire ads, one from Jackson, TN and one from Parsons, TN appeared on Craigslist on April 17, 2011.

As the search perimiters in previous days were located 6 and 8 miles away from Bobo’s home, where items of hers are believed to have been recovered, it begs the question, why would the focus turn to nearly 2 miles away from the Swan Johnson address of the Bobo’s, to Myracle Town Rd, in the opposite direction? Do investigators think the suspect has been trying to send them in the opposite location by planting evidence?
Police are interviewing neighbors in this Myracle Town Rd. and Box Rd. area today, as well as stopping motorists, of which there are very little. A different tactic indeed.
Searches in this rural terrain are daunting to say the least, however, the community outreach and response to requests for assistance has been nothing short of astounding.
While speculation that the suspect responsible for Holly’s disappearance is indeed a member of the very small town of Parson’s, and is well known to Holly and the Bobo family, many close friends of the Bobo’s are participating in searches of their own properties vowing to continue until she is located.
Many long time Decatur County families own large tracts of land near the Bobo residence.
Some of them for generations – including the Todd family, as an example, who owns large tracts in the Myracle Town Rd, Box Rd, and Gilbert Rd area.
Jason Todd, a former schoolmate of Holly Bobo’s as are MANY of Holly’s friends, will unfortunately end up searching for her in each other’s backyards.

Blink, since no one other than holly is missing would you say LE has spoken with everyone they need to?
Blink, your comment “Becca- don’t you find the absence of same, telling?
B” To be clear: you are speaking to the absence of comments and connections and information about JD, correct?
Becca: not sure what to think about BBs page. I agree with everything you said about the oddities and why no one has called him out on this is baffling to me. OTOH, odd behavior if he is involved too.
Did you see the FB picture of JD with SS?
I read the following on another forum. Can anyone confirm either of these?
Not posting those, for obvious reasons.
B
Is it FB acting funky, or have a few of Jason Todd’s friends disappeared (JM and BB for starters). A search for them as his friends turns up nothing. Both are still friends with others.
i really don’t think this case is going to be solved tbi can have their suspects all they want truth is they have not named no poi’s said what kind of evidence is found called off searches issued no warrents and stated in the media they don’t have any new leads to say If the person of this family that is suspected by the townspeople is a prominted person this is going to end up a cold case and its heading that way people well still be talking about this case four months from now i hope thats not the case and its solved i just don’t see it
Hey folks,
All of you discussing about some creep who kidnapped Holly and you discussed about the possibility of their involvement but it seems to me that all of you have forgotten Holly. I think the most important point is to bring her back safe. Do you think there is hope left? I myself cannot even think about a negative answer to this question, oh God, how can someone destroy a life of a family! You folks cannot even imagine what it means to a family – a closed one – to lose a child especially the little one. It is devastating, I myself as a big brother has experienced such a tragedy with the loss of my only brother. You can’t imagine it, oh I am crying! If something happens to Holly, his brother will feel regret all his life – like mine -, regret about the lost time and failure of his beloved one. Please someone do something! Do not allow some evils destroy a family! If you know anything, please send it to your police. I thought that only in my country there are some supers which are untouchable but I cannot believe it in US. If your police cannot do anything, send your info to more powerful ones – FBI or others, I don’t know -. Please do something for Holly! From so much distance I am, I only can pray to God for protecting Holly but you are there. DO SOMETHING and DO IT FAST.
TIME IS GETTING REALLY SHORT FOR HOLLY, save her please for God’s sake.

What is your take on this FB. It makes me frustrated. I can’t find diddly squat about JD except that he’s a “bad boy”. I can’t find in what capacity that is, or what he’s done to be this bad boy.
>> then Blink said:
Becca- don’t you find the absence of same, telling?
B
Yes….but could be telling us several conflicting things, such as: 1.There is no basis to the “bad boy” talk, and perhaps someone was throwing him under the bus by perpuating such talk. OR 2. He is SO well-connected/protected that online track of past misdeeds has been wiped clean. I’d ask you to tell me Blink, but I know you’d have to kill me then. LOL
I must say BB’s face book page is bizare. How can he never make any mention of Holly, her well being or where abouts yet have her in his profile picture? I also agree with Becca that no mention from anyone else is disturbing and strange. Obviously he knew her, lives in the same town and very aware she is missing yet not one word. Not a single “Pray for Holly” If he is trying to show what a non caring self absorbed worthless person he must be he has succeeded. Don’t even get me started on his language!
Blink,
You used the adjective “schizophrenic” to describe the perp in one of your replys. Do you mean that you think he is certifiably mentally ill, as in schizo?
If a parent has missed the cues of this illness, that is so sad. It is usually not manifested in a young man’s life, meaning that is when it is most commonly diagnosed, in his late teens and early twenties.
If he is schizo, then he will have to be treated so differently in all aspects of this case. I truly believe that there is plain EVIL in this world, but I don’t think a schizo even lives in THIS world.
Seen it.
Happy Mother’s Day
Aware. Thank you, you posted just fine
B
Alex: I’m so sorry about your brother and to hear about what you’ve gone thru. If anyone who knows something about Holly’s disappearance reads here, I hope they take your words to heart, along with those of Blink and many others urging them to do the right thing and help bring this girl home. Respectfully, I don’t think anyone here has forgotten Holly. Speculation happens because none of us are privy to what’s going on in the investigation, and we all want this solved. The who, what, and why matters.
To that end, I’d like to ask Jackie B. (and anyone else who has been looking at JD and BB) a question: Have you found anything about JD that suggests he was once connected to Holly? I haven’t. His name keeps popping up, but when I try to find out more it seems like nothing’s there. BB, on the other hand…
And I did see that picture of JD with SS. He looks bigger and stockier in that pic than he does in others I’ve seen.
laura i know the pig comment isn’t something anyone wants to think about thats why i wasn’t sure if i should put it or blink would post however that being said when ur dealing with sickos who murder or abduct people you got to think of all the possibilites that just happens to be one just like throwing her in a lake or down a well then if you think she is alive you got to wonder what she is going through and i don’t want to think about that this is why i don’t understand the tbi’s lack of urgency at least they should name poi’s or find another crime to take these people in so they can at least search their residents its not like they don’t have no evidence witness or leads thats why this is such an odd ball missing person case to me i could understand if there were no leads no evidence or no witness nothing to report but they have that stuff
u guys might be reading too much into facebook pages i had one for like a year and i never posted anything on it or had anyone post on my page furthermore who knows if the guy has access to a computer now what would be odd is if there was tons of activty on his page after she went missing and tons of post after no activty then i would question it i wouldn’t be surprised if she wasnt the one who set it up for him when they were going out
It seems like BB does indirectly make mention of the situation. However, the absence of a normal heartfelt message of concern is troubling. He does seem to want attention through provocative posts and of course the picture which he posted after she went missing. I agree it’s disrespectful. Prayers for Holly’s family today…I cannot imagine what they must be going through.
After looking at TW’s fb wall I was reminded of something that was said about another case. Has anyone thought to look into the rock work recently done by this guy? Especially that fireplace he posted pictures of on April 27th? Horrible thought I know, but some horrible person has done something to Holly and that’s a fact.
Also wouldn’t hurt to look into some of those goose pits to see if they’ve been filled in with cement.
I hope people in the area are checking their properties. I say that because I read once that criminals like to distance themselves from their crime, but also keep it close enough to “control” it too. Monsters.
Has anyone noticed that none of the local young people we have found on Facebook and speculated about possible involvement has resulted in any concrete and reliable information that any did NOT have an alibi the morning that Holly disappeared?
Just playing devils advocate as I ponder the possibility of a stranger abduction.
By the way Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there.
@laurie: If you go to Dk S FB page, he’s friends with JM and BB. Oddly, I just noticed he’s not friends with Holly. But then from BBs page, you can get to TWs. To JDs page is harder–you have to find SS (this can be found in the topix forum by googling holly bobo parsons topix and looking for the JD topic. SS is mentioned there. Oddly enough, Jason Todd, mentioned on BOC is not longer friends with JM and BB, though I think he was a few days ago. Maybe they’re reading here and figuring out how people are finding them?
@lilah: I haven’t found doodly on JD except that he has a baby with SS and is a “bad boy”. And yes, BB otoh… agreed. I don’t know what to make of it. I’m ready for some more Blink breadcrumbs, but I think her comment above about JD is significant. I noticed two things about JD from his FB & Myspace: Bigger & stockier than I thought, and in the picture with SS (whose name is given on his MS page), something else as well.
here is another theory what about a stray bullet hitting holly people were hunting the bullet hits her she screams the hunter panics goes to the carport grabs her by the arm and takes her into the woods i am just thinking of scernrios and possiblities
This is a forced and violent abduction.
B
I think about this case all the time. It plays in my head throughout my day, as I’m sure you all can relate. One thing just came to me tonight. My ex-husband use to say to me, “If Armageddon ever comes, you can bet I’ll come to snap your neck before I look for water”. Nice, I know. I got out young, but he haunts me for sure. He’s told me he can wait and will be there when I least expect him, which isn’t reassuring, but I’m not ill prepared either. I have always thought, if he ever makes true on his promise and I dont have a weapon, I’ll bite him. As much as I could, that is what I would do (for identifying purposes).The car, the ground, him – bite!! So what popped into my head tonight, is the person with a cast that has been pointed out. How irritating if you bite, and they cast it. Now I’m set on biting any prominent area and then some (face, et al) if ever attacked.
I’m not sure that “bite the perp” is a safet announcement, but it’s not a bad idea if found in a bad situation.
If I”m wrong about the cast guy, my bad. But I would like to see under it.
I have read in this form, people characterizing JD as “schizo”….Im not sure if that means he truly has been diagnosed as schizophrenic, or if people just find him to have crazy behavior.
I also read, where someone noticed he looked heavier…
If he truly is a schizophrenic, and taking anti-psychotics, he very well could have gained a sizeable amount of weight. It is common for persons taking anti-psychotics to gain weight and develop a softer muscle tone. That might explain a change in appearance.
I hope she still alive
This person that took her, has been planning this for a while, he would have had to been in the woods let least a week to see the coming and going of the family. Why did he chose wed, is her only morning class on that day, if it was he’s been watching her, and he must have had a gun, I think he was will to kill the brother if he came to stop him, this is how far he is will to go. Like the one guy said, this is personal, and well planed, camo, duct tap, RV, and he knew all the trails and paths. remember JC Dugard, this person would have build a room for her in his house, he has been obsess with her for some time. I think there a chance she is still alive, but I also look at the map, and it’s such a big area, most of the guy’s kidnap, rape, and kill, the same day.
@Jeff, I agree that there are many possible scenarios that might make sense. I tend to think your idea is not very likely because of what I have learned about this area and it’s people. I think if this were an accidental shooting, it would have been reported by the shooter, who would have tried to help right away, not further hurt the victim.
This is just my opinion and I can see we are all trying to figure this out and bring Holly home.
Blink, any closer than they were a week ago?
For those who are interested in checking out the areas around the Bobo home, this is a useful tool: http://tnmap.state.tn.us/assessment/map.aspx?GISLink=020041++++00400
You can search by address, or by last name. I searched on Bobo and was able to easily find the Bobos’ property in relation to Natchez Trace Park and then I was able to see who owned which areas around them by clicking on the different parcels. It’s also possible to search by last name to see who owns what and were, so I used some of the more common last names in the area (Todd, Myracle, Dodd, Duck, Barnett, Blankenship, to name a few) to find out where their properties were. If you just search on last name, you can skim down the list and the property will be highlighted for each name. Lots of Myracle properties surrounding the Bobos and then lots of Dodd properties a little further north, 3 miles or so and some of theirs on the TN River, too. Just interesting to research, so thought I’d share.
*Won’t take this post with complete link–just add http in front of it!
———————
Am I wrong, or is cast guy maybe in the goose hunting picture above that Blink posted?
I looked him up (as he is actually named in several news articles about helping in the search). I will not list his name though as I have been unable to find anything negative associated with that name.
Also, the initials do not match anything that is being discussed so far on BOC.

sorry i watch a little too much criminal minds lol i just remember gideon always telling reed when a case couldn’t be solved to think outside the box lol so i just put things down on here to get people discussing things and to rule out other possiblities i am sure the le already went through all these possible scernios anyways
you know it is hunting season and the list above of the properties owned by different people around the bobo’s the possiblity of one of them owners letting someone hunt on their land and holly knowing the people hunting are pretty good so the guy could have been a friend of one of the land owners holly new the person but didn’t really know the person it would be interesting to know who the people were hunting on that land during that week they wouldn’t park their car in the land owners driveway i am sure they would park it in the woods because they have probley hunting there in the past i hope the le is checking into this
Considering more than one perp is involved the levy will have to break
sooner or later.These young kids love to talk and their friends do too.
As far as their families go they are just prolonging agony.Holly did
not deserve to be treated like one of their animals.God bless her family
Blink I have to say you have an extraordinary way with words.That’s one reason why I love reading your blog.You can get the point across with out even actually saying it.Great job you are doing Blink to help the
families of crime.I know it has to be exhausting at times
Blink I would have to say the law has to change for minors.When my daughter was a teenager,she got involved with a “bad boy”.He was very
popular in school,had a energetic personality,good looking and he also
I think was bipolar.He had a nice family who lived right down the street.He was an only child who got whatever he wanted and his family
was scared of him.He had a bad temper and self medicated himself.His
parents did not want to acknowledge his disorder.He put my family through hell and back.We tried to get a restraining order against him and could not because he was a minor.We put a no trespassing sign up.
He stood out in the street.He said some things to me I would never repeat to anyone.He called and rode by my house constantly.It also put a wedge between me and my daughter then.How this played out was he got arrested for a crime (breaking into houses) and spent a
few years in jail.He tried calling my house from jail and writing letters.I blocked them.When he did get out of jail he was drinking one night and hit a tree.Killed on impact.So I will say if anyone thinks it will stop it won’t.It will just get worse and death is the end my friends.The sad thing is his parents still don’t understand how this could have happened.They are in complete denial and heart broken.
Doesn’t take much of a man to abduct a defenseless person with a gun or a knife. Doesn’t take much of a man or men to harbor such a criminal. Don’t know how things are done in Tennessee but here in Kentucky this/these sissy-boys would already be behind bars.
Seems like a good day for an arrest.
Gawd, I hope.
B
I have been thinking the same thing. EVERYONE IS AFRAID OF THIS GUY!! On one had, his family loves him and pacify him to make him happy because they do not want to see the other side of him when he does not get his way. Unfortunately, we as parents do not understand that by giving in to them as we do~~OUT OF LOVE WHEN THEY ARE LITTLE~~It just somehow gets out of control and we wake up wondering where we went wrong and how to stop it. It is time these/this parent/s realize it is now time to do the right thing before anyone else is missing or killed and it could very well be their precious little boy!! People can only take so much and THEN don’t get in their way.
Now that BB’s FaceBook page topic has been opened for discussion…..
His page is virtually saying “Here I am, the ex-boyfriend in case you were wondering who it is, look at us in the matching formal attire”.
Out of hundreds of his friends, not one of them is saying – Hey dude, WTF is going on? What are you saying here given the current situation. NOT ONE. Not, why’d you go to Kentucky, what are you thinking real hard about, gee sorry to hear you lost your best friend, who would that be and how were they lost?
Not even Dk.S, who obviously saw his profile pic, said WTF are you doing with that profile pic you sick blah blah.
I think he may just be gunning for attention, but I still think there’s something blocking or controlling his page to a certain extent. I don’t know in what capacity or why or who is controlling it. Maybe everyone knows already and were told not to let him catch on. But EVERYONE. And if everyone were to act normal, wouldn’t normal be for Dk.S to tell him to immediately remove the profile picture? It’s confrontation worthy.
What is your take on this FB. It makes me frustrated. I can’t find diddly squat about JD except that he’s a “bad boy”. I can’t find in what capacity that is, or what he’s done to be this bad boy.
Becca- don’t you find the absence of same, telling?
B
*************************************************************
I hope I’m off the mark here. I’ve thought about Blink’s response to my post above and there are a few different arms of thought I’ve got going.
One of them is this….
Dk.S. – his FB page is off. I’ve thought it has had to do with LE guiding these guys in what to say. But if they aren’t, in MO he’s posting as though his brother lost his dog, not his girlfriend. He was ending his sports posts with….. “Prayin’ for Holly”. Now, he’s not “prayin’ for Holly” anymore (in his posts anyway). It’s almost like he’s moved on. How could he not be keeping the word out and Holly on everyone’s mind?
**********************************
Blink answered yes to both questions:
Do you think they are 100 percent sure they know who the suspect is?
And do you think it will shock people in that community?
Dk. S. being involved, now that would shock me. I hope to goodness I am wrong. My thoughts are with everyone touched by this tragedy. Clint especially.
Blink,
If you can say, what is the standard care for a family in this situation? Are they with a counselor? I assume they still aren’t working. I just can’t imagine how they are filling their days. I hope they’re getting help to ease their suffering.
It is different for every county, and frankly, has more to do with the resources of the LEA handling the case.
In general, there should be a victims advocate who is working as a liason with LE, and also counseling the family wrt functioning while the case is active, managing expectations, and securing therapeutic resources as necessary.
B
@Becca I also noticed the complete lack of any mention of Holly on the half dozen Facebook walls I looked at.
I think either LE or just simple networking via cell phone, etc. resulted in the word quickly spreading not to discuss Holly in any way – either with the media or on social networking sites.
@Becca – regarding your concerns about Dk. S. treating this like his brother lost a pet and not a girlfriend, and not stating “prayin for Holly” on his FB page anymore, I think this is because perhaps they know she is not with us anymore. Based on what I have read, it sounds like Blink is fairly confident that this is not a “rescue” operation anymore, but more of a “recover” operation. If Dk. S. knows this or senses this based on what he is hearing/reading, I think it makes sense the he doesn’t post “prayin for Holly” anymore. This is just an opinion on my part. It is also very sad if it is the case. How Holly’s parents,brother and family can keep from screaming at the top of their lungs who this/these POI(s) are, is beyond me. God give them strength.
Cnog,
I, with respect, disagree. It’s not been much time at all and he’s routing for sports teams and talking about himself. It’s inappropriate, and disrespectful given the situation at hand. If she is deceased, which I agree she is, she needs to be returned to the family for proper grieving and so they can respectfully lay her to rest.
I heard a story about a mom whose daughter who had been killed (I think it may have been Columbine). They were analyzing the crime scene and she was begging LE to let her cover her daughter with a blanket because it was cold. Holly’s still out there, she’s still their child, friend, girlfriend. There is no less need to bring her home now than before, it’s just different circumstances.
Dk. S. may just be self-centered. Judging by his photo’s he’s very proud of himself.
As usual, MOO
Becca,
I completely agree that they need to recover Holly. No doubt about that. I am thinking of what I’d do in the same situation. My siblings have significant others and though I have loved them, my life is not wrapped up in them. So if I were Dk. S., my heart would ache for the person missing, yet more so for my brother who lost his loved one. That said, knowing my brothers, they would not want to talk about it all the time. In fact, they would most likely want to have some space so they could work at sorting things out in their own hearts and minds, on their own time. That said, it’s possible Dk. S. is acting as a shield for his brother, helping to deflect some of the constant questioning that would come his way. Just a thought. Now if they come out tomorrow and say he is one of the perps, well then, you can scratch all of this:)
Blink have you thought about this, There’s a lot of ties to the Morgan Harrington case, After looking at Google Maps, Roanoke down to Charlotte is about and hour, from there over too TN, maybe three, could the heat the parents put on the killer, force him to leave, and maybe his job style help him meets these girls or offer opt to them.

And at Google Map, one location found, saying found warm car, cell phone, gloves, camo, is this true ? how owns the car, was it stolen, no DNA on the camo, there is a pic of the perp, on MH page dose anyone know this guy, like her Dad. Something to think about
… been thinking a lot about people’s comments.
If, say, my sister’s boyfriend disappeared under circumstances like this, I’d be upset for her and my niece, but they’re both emotionally attached to him. I like the guy and all – but it probably wouldn’t hit me emotionally. And they’d already know in person how I feel. And anybody that mattered and was actually involved in my day-to-day life – they’d already know.
That pretty much applies to anything important. If it strongly matters to me, the people who need to know are going to know via direct contact – in person, via phone or maybe email or FB message if they’re far away. I’m not likely to continually discuss the important stuff on FB.
Say, for instance, my dad’s heart attack last year. I posted a couple things on FB initially, because it was the fastest way to get out info to the people who would want to know, but are not on the initial list of priotity people to call. It started prayer chains, made it so people who would want to know, but might not hear until later, could, and kept me from being inundated with medium-priority calls. After a few days, life pretty much went on as normal except for those of us really close to him. And even then, me, my sis, my mom – we still had to get back to work ASAP or the bills would not get paid.
For DkS, sure, his place is to be supportive of his brother, who, if everything is as it seems, would be understandably devastated. But if DkS was very emotional about it, I’d have to wonder why he was so close to his brother’s girlfriend.
And one more thought – I keep my FB fairly private anyways – but if I had reason to think the whole country would be snooping through it just because I knew someone that went missing, I can guarantee you that it’d be locked down with almost nothing visible in a heartbeat, and if I used the status update at all, it would be for JUST casual, lighthearted things. Cuz the people who needed details would already know… and the rest of it, is no one else’s business. (Which honestly, I wish more people would follow in general – I get pretty tired of the relationship drama posts that people puke all over FB.)

i don’t think anyone is afraid of this guy or his family its just a matter of knowing People want to be sure this is the guy and what evidence points to him. this is why i think people r frustrated with the tbi maybe not a suspect but they should have a person of intrest by now i can understand the tight lip because they don’t want the town to take action on their own but i hope their not letting vaulable time elasp that could help to catch the perp or perps responsible for this crime i really don’t know anymore if she is dead or alive i hate reading this stupid rumors about her being sex trafficked and a sex slave etc… its amazes me how many people think of that when they see a pretty girl abducted sometimes cases r just black and white crazy guy crazy guy does something st upid crime is commited cover up by family until the facts come out and can’t cover up the crime then u have stupid parents who help cover up the crime say oh we didn[t know they were capable of this sicking and just plan stupid
@ Becca 1:20 pm, I believe he is throwing out significant clues in his posts and comments as to who he feels is responsible. Keep in mind he never “checked in” in another state, but rather posted it.
Blink, do you see a connection between the recent death of another in this community and to this case?
starshadow,
I cannot relate to the emotional un-attachment in any way shape or form. I am emotionally attached to THIS case, Holly, her family, and all human beings who suffer if I’m going to be honest. We are all united in humanity, and if we don’t connect with each other and empathize, especially with those close to us…..uh, well, I guess….I can’t even come to words. It’s a sad state of affairs.
I guess I just personally wouldn’t be peppy enough to be peppy if a situation such as this was in my life. It’s not even been a full month. I would be somber to say the least.
I respect what you feel though and don’t mean to put you down, it just sounds cold to me.
I hear what you are saying and I agree with you Becca, I just want to caution all of us that in a general way, people put out what they want people to believe on their social sites, they know they are being read.

i really wish the tbi invited the fbi in to this case i think they just got more resources to solve this case and would already have suspects and poi’s
At this point, all I can say is that family bonds run deep and dysfunctional family bonds run MUCH deeper.
If the guilty one is being covered by his family, I would not be surprised. I have watched a relative, who was mentally unstable, be abusive verbally and physically over and over and over again-yet there are family members who want to keep trying to help him. Don’t get me wrong-I am not saying family shouldn’t help family, but there should be boundaries or the problematic person continues to be problematic and just gets worse. Don’t know who done what, but I do know it can be very hard to get family to crack.
I was curious re cellphone. I’ve seen mentioned perp/perps could have been involved in searches and possibly planting evidence to throw off investigation. If cellphone was found with no fingerprints at all, wouldn’t it indicate it had been planted? I hope this case is progressing. The Facebook pages that have been mentioned do seem quite odd. I definitely find the displayed photo of Holly and her past beau quite strange. Blessings to the Bobo family and friends.
