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.

OR ..the culprit called home and a family member of his called mom.
I would not know what kind of conversation took place to identify where the phone was located.
Blink… I am so trying to help …maybe find some some avenue that was missed. Over the past few days and after hearing so many false rumors, false hopes and few true facts, I have gathered all that makes sense. Please, I would love to hear your thoughts. I wonder first if anyone knows for sure if Holly was seen by her parents that morning. I know Clint says he saw her, but what if:
The night before the kidnapping, possibly Clint and maybe a few local boys got into some trouble. Or what if Clint and Holly was with some boys who did something criminal and Holly was going to tell. The boys decided to maybe “scare her” or maybe as a joke. Something could have happened, maybe one or two of the boys were on drugs or even have mental disorders. Then getting out of hand, or maybe one of them hurting holly in some way, they decide to run with her and dispose of her. Maybe Holly, knowing this boy, somehow has convinced him to keep her alive and he is hiding her in different places. Maybe he is in contact with one of the 3 boys that have been quuestioned and the authorities are just waiting, hoping for a call. I think the boys are where they got the leads so far. We know one of the boys, if not 2 have lawyered up. These are probably where the cell phone call came from to Karen. If the nameless suspect, there is one that no one knows his name, is still holding her, I am sure authorities dont want him to know they are aware if his identity. That is why we do not know anything. I would imagine, as long as this boy has a plan and feel Holly wants to run away with him, she will be safe. The danger will be if he feels cornered, then Holly and the perp’s chances go down. Blink….your first hunch was it ending in a murder suicide. I could not see it at all. I understand your logic now. We have been told many place volunteers searched that were flagged areas and each were near cabins or property owned by these boys families, I hope with all my might I am right this time. If so, Holly will make it if we have good enough intelligence. I was told in the first days homeland security was called. I wonder now….one of the boys rumored to be involved has ties outside the US, at least some. Could this be a concern from the beginning? What do you think. How long can she play with him? If he has never killed anyone and even if he is mental, would it still be possible that he may not be able to kill someone?
People say this would have to be planned. I dont think so. Not if Clint knew more than he is telling and if this guy has help from other people. Ideas?
Oh and the phone….I’d say everything else was placed for searchers to throw them off and the cell phone? possibly he is getting anxious and maybe she tried to use it. I have heard there has been a ping or two anyway.
An ex-boyfriend would know the number. So would a neighbor. Small town, probably people from school or church would know the number. And btw, it is listed.
Better question is WHY call her mother? And why now?
http://twitter.com/#!/willnunley/status/62269608551391232
Nunley alluded to this yesterday evening.
Blink, is there any chance that Holly left on her own, ran away perhaps?
“We know one of the boys, if not 2 have lawyered up.We know one of the boys, if not 2 have lawyered up.”
Is this real, or small town gossip looking for a boogie man?
“We have been told many place volunteers searched that were flagged areas and each were near cabins or property owned by these boys families, I hope with all my might I am right this time. If so, Holly will make it if we have good enough intelligence. I was told in the first days homeland security was called. I wonder now….one of the boys rumored to be involved has ties outside the US, at least some.”
Oh dear.SMH
If the call came from her phone… anyone who found it could have called the mother as I’m sure Mrs. Bobo’s number is in the phone.
Mine is labeled Mom… some label it home…
They could have even pressed redial
I Googled “sim card” and this is what it said:
A SIM card can come in very handy. For example, let’s say your phone runs out of battery power at a friend’s house. Assuming you both have SIM-based phones, you can remove the SIM card from your phone and slide it into your friend’s phone to make your call. Your carrier processes the call as if it were made from your phone, so it won’t count against your friend’s minutes”
So I suppose Hollys SIM card could have been used by someone else to make it apper that it came from Holly actual phone?
“
@ Zeus
I also stared at the pic of the guy with the broken arm unloading supplies..got a stange goosbumply feeling at the time..do not know why.
what i was trying to say is why call karen bobo and tell her where the phone is why not just throw the phone in a river i just don’t understand the point in calling her thats why i am confused
sorry. I guess the guy in the pic IS boyfriend Drew..not brother Clint..misinformation from another site
@Amber where are you quoting from? Can you please post a link?
Blink could you please clarify this quote you made earlier….
“Past.
They know exactly who is responsible, and any efforts to throw them off are being giggled about privately.”
B
Are you saying that LE knows who is responsible for this crime and they are privately giggling and the perps attempts to throw them off their trail?
meant to say privately giggling *at* the perps…not and
Blink:
What do you make of Bill Wray’s comments on his facebook that Holly is alive?
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?…626372&sk=wall
Blink -
It appears there have been lots of rumors and lots of wrong information being reported throughout this investigation. The lastest going around the “interwebs” is that Holly is alive. I just don’t know what to make of that. If it is known that Holly is alive, wouldn’t she want to be with her family after this ordeal and wouldn’t her family want to be with her? Surely, LE would not be playing cat and mouse and wasting time and money keeping her hidden somewhere. None of this makes sense to me. While I do hope and pray Holly is alive, I find it hard to believe that this information would be kept secret and hush-hush. Your thoughts, if you can share?
Also, with regards to the “significant find” being her cell phone (which has not been confirmed)……If this is true, is it possible that a call was made from this cell (supposedly Holly’s) to Holly’s mom, thus the call Holly’s mom made to LE, thus the called search Sunday evening, thus the “significant” find of the phone?
To Everyone:
Blink is on Location, with very limited ability to personally respond to queries. Just fyi
Everything is very quiet today following yesterday’s developments and rumors that had everyone guessing. I really agree with Blink that someone needs to address the “Holly IS alive” posted on Mr. Way’s FB page. At this point I don’t put much stock in it, but I am curious where his info came from and why a seasoned reporter who seems respected would post such a statement.
They shouldn’t be giggling they should be nailing their arse to the wall.
And I’m sorry, the LE in this case hasn’t even issued one search warrant that makes me think they really know anything other than locals whispering rumors about some boys. Also will someone link me to the court docs that show Holly had filed for a restraining order? Thank You.
Sorry to sound curt, but anyone who thinks the TBI or any police agency would keep Holly alive hidden somewhere for some investigative purpose is out of their minds.
This is not Lifetime movie of the week guys. Wise up.
Now see why the police and media need to be more open about the facts in this case? Rumors and finger pointed are HARMFUL to the real case and for finding Holly.
It is strangely quiet in this small town where Holly is missing. At first so much info now everything is all quiet. I dont understand what is happening. Something is really strange about all this. I think they know where she is. They are trying to catch him. Is she dead or alive? Where is she? These great folks of this small town have taken off work, vacation time, unpaid time, searchng in rain and bad weather.they deserve an answer but if LE is trying to get her back alive I understand why no answers. Wish we knew something. A friend of mine visited her parents Sunday. Reports are they are really pitiful. I can only imagine.
Godspeed Blink….and thanks to the editors for the heads’ up!
i could believe she is alive and kept in hiding maybe when they found her she was in a coma or still in a coma or badley injured they were just waiting for her to get better or wake up the family would already know she is alive or the guy who did this can’t be found and their worried about her life her mom did get a tip about the phone maybe it was from holly we won’t know tell they make arrest i guess
Radio personality stated on 101.3 FM He was “very close” to the situation. he states he is aware of the rumors that Holly is alive and at Vanderbuildt hospital. he stated he “could not say much but there will be a news conference with details later on in the week”? What the heck is going on, really? Does anyone have an educated guess here?
only way i can see any of these rumors being true is if its a ransom case they paid it found holly and now r trying to find the perp something along them lines tbi could not revel too many details if that was the case and they would let the searches be business has usual
but to agree with everyone else on this page very strange stuff if i do say myself
@Flint: Best educated guess I have is that she is not at Vanderbilt (or that is where her parents would be). For those that don’t know, Vanderbilt Hospital is a major medical center serving middle Tennessee and serving those that need highly skilled care, those that other hospitals cannot provide. I don’t know what is up with the rumor mill, but TBI and other LE are not going to waste taxpayer dollars. Blink?
This is flat out pissing me off. This child is not in any hospital, and that gentleman owes everyone an explanation and apology.
B
well i guess were no the details later in the week if any of its true
@Flint is this a second radio personality now making these claims? I thought the call numbers were different for Mr. Way’s station.
I have been searching on and off today on several sites and news outlets for credible info and nothing is forthcoming except that LE says they are narrowing the focus of their search and zeroing in on suspects. I suspect there will be a news conference later this week when the search resumes.
Blink: Thank you and agree. These rumors have gotten out of hand, to say the least. I am just a “Jane Doe” on here, but, please, let’s get back to the basics and to reality.
…not giving up hope though on Holly though!
I just had a thought. Maybe the perp called Karen Bobo and told her where the cell phone could be found in order for the pictures on the phone to be viewed. Perhaps he took recent photo’s of Holly with the phone……somehow indicating she is alive?
Thank You Blink.
Something is bothering me, but I can’t quite grab hold of it. So random thoughts/questions…
1. OK, we know SIM cards can be moved from phone to phone. I’ve swapped my own when I wanted to make sure my *good* phone stayed safe at home. I know that somehow the cell provider is able to determine whether a phone is a smartphone or not. Certain online services are able to automatically *know* what model phone is being used to access them.
Seems reasonable to me that, if a phone call came from Holly’s SIM card, that it could be confirmed what brand and model of phone was used to make the call. Right?
2. Things found: lunch purse, probable cell phone. Other things she might have had with her: car keys. wallet, regular purse? identification. school books. bag for school books, pens, pencils? makeup, chapstick, etc? sunglasses? mp3 player? camera?
Lunch purse usually refers to an insulated lunch bag that is designed to look more stylish and purse-like… seems reasonable she would have a separate purse or bag, if not both.
3. So she’s walking out to her car, someone is there, wants her to go to the woods. She’s carrying the lunch purse, probably school bag with books, maybe a purse, too. “no drag marks” was specifically quoted by investigators… with their other comments, I’d have to conclude that none of the items to was carrying were dropped on the ground, since that would indicate a struggle. So she carries it. That’s weird. Seems like, if the person wanted her to just go along, she’d probably say, hang on sec, let me put this stuff in the car. Along with mentioning that she has a test to get to.
Now, I suppose it’s possible that the guy had a gun, the gun wasn’t visible to the brother, yada yada yada.
But the gun would indicate premeditation. Planned. Not impulsive, emotional, “triggered”.
So would having a vehicle nearby. Conflicting.
Now, someone pulls a gun on her, she’s probably going to say he’ll get caught, maybe even that her brother is home. Sure, maybe he threatened the brother, too, and that kept her from blatantly fighting back.
So they get to the woods, or walk through the woods to the road, wherever he parked a vehicle. ATV doesn’t sound realistic, unless he knocked her out cold there… get himself, her, and all her stuff on the ATV? Time consuming. And if he knew their routines, he’d know the brother was home and might notice.
And if his entire goal was to kill her, why not do it right there and be done with it? Lot less risky then possibly getting caught with her.
4. What is that area to the NE of the Bobo residence? Looks about a mile N-S, maybe 1500 feet W-E, sort of rectangular – looks sort of like a clearcut maybe? with dirt tracks through the middle? on both sides of Five Forks Rd.
5. I see many mentions of 4-wheelers and horses… where do they go to ride? are there any paths/trails through the community that wouldn’t be marked on the map?
6. The scenario as presented so far just does NOT scream scorned lover/ wannabe lover. Nowhere close.
7. Evidence locations seem random. So do searches. Especially initially. Like they were going by what seemed like good hiding places, rather then any real knowledge.
8. Have the ponds/lakes/whatever water near the Bobo home been searched? The small one just south of, and the group just slightly NE?
9. Has it been stated anywhere why TBI became involved? From their website I gather that they have automatic jurisdiction over certain crimes, but for others, they can become involved at the request of the DA’s office.
10. Is there a list of participating LE agencies anywhere?
11. I’m just not seeing that this was a crime committed as an act of passion, or that the perpetrator is likely to “melt-down”. It’s been two weeks. Seems like if they’re going to melt-down and suicide, it’s generally rather promptly. I just don’t see this going down in a oh, I’ve killed my love, now I’ll kill myself, scene.
12. Cold, calculated, you’ll never take me alive? Thinks he’s outsmarted the cops, etc… Yeah, that I could see. Or a corollary… too “powerful” for the cops to touch. But the ego the “powerful” line of thought would require – I think we’d ALL know who he was. They always seem to end up in the media, and are never as bright as they think they are.
13. But the cold, calculated… that would fit. Scattered belongings in random locations, helping the search parties, savvy enough to be just helpful enough, but not stand out…
14. Is anyone close to the family known to be an avid mystery or suspense or true-crime fiction reader? Any Facebook pages that would fit?
15. I’m inclined to think the blood found was not just not Holly’s, but not even human. If it’s Holly’s, what would be the harm in releasing that info? It’s expected that it would be hers. Other options would be the perpetrator’s, some other human’s, or non-human. The perpetrator could have cut himself, seeking a compassionate reaction from her – but wouldn’t her first instincts be to bandage him, call for help or to take him to the doctor? Same thing if he said someone else was hurt. She’s not that big a girl – calling for help would be her immediate reaction. She’d want to use a cell phone – if she had one – and if he prevented her, it would have immediately made her suspicious.
Same thing with speculations of him hitting her and knocking her out there – those belongings would be on the ground.
We’ve been told she walked out of the yard under her own power… her brother would have noticed if she appeared injured. I think he’d have noticed, too, if the guy had all her belongings. And how likely is it that the guy could have hung onto her, AND all her stuff?
16. Something doesn’t match up somewhere.
17. Has this become a game? Was it one right from the start? And who, exactly, are the players?
And
18. I’m beginning to think that absolutely nothing in this case is as the public believes it is.
Thank you B. That rumor is just effing cruel..excuse my crassness.
Blink:
Can you edit out the facebook in comment 15 and put this link:
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1087626372&sk=wall
The one put it doesn’t seem to work.
Thanks!
this whole case is confusing to me i don’t understand why the parents aren’t out searching like the rest of the town or a week into the search roadblocks are set up away from the orginal crime scene i think blink said 2 miles away the search sites seem to be at random like u said the phone discovery could of been a tip called into karen bobo about its location no search warrents on anything no suspects people r saying she has been found lady says the t-shirt sale money is for when holly gets back for a vacation i could see if holly has been found and the tbi put her in hiding because they suspect her family of somthing or perp is a family memeber i just don’t know though this is very confusing to me
“Crime is to be expected since humans are never perfect. But the failure of Justice may be more damaging to Society than the crime itself.” – - Clarence Darrow
Agreed, and all efforts should be made not to prove the words.
B
@Jeff, I believe the roadblock was set up strategically at the main road that serves as an inlet/outlet to where the Bobo’s live. At least that what I see when I look at the map. I cannot see any reason why LE would be hiding Holly. I do not believe she has been found. Maybe the vacation idea is merely a hope they have. Focusing on something positive may help people endure this type of nightmare. Idk…
I keep putting my comments on the wrong thread for Holly-I should have put this one on this thread! Thanks Blink!

Kuaitzudog beat me to it. I was just about to post the exact same section from the Crimesider!
_________________________________
So my question now is–if LE “”initially believed an abductor dragged Bobo away””, why do they “”now suspect it was a community member in camouflage who led Bobo into the woods”” ?
When and why did their perception of what actually happened occur?
LE received the first 911 calls that reported this incident–they were NOT relying on the media like all of us. So who gave the description of being dragged away–or why would LE “think” that was true in the beginning? And who changed it to “led away”?
And is that even important?

today from “Crimesider”
While police initially believed an abductor dragged Bobo away as she left for school last Wednesday, investigators now suspect it was a community member in camouflage who led Bobo into the woods near her home.
Police say they have begun the process of identifying persons of interest in the case.
dragged and led have two different meanings if she was dragged like the brother first said he saw people would think like they do why didn’t he do anything if he saw her dragged into the woods if u say led then u say brother must have thought it was her boyfriend and not think she was in a any dangerous plus not to mention it could be for the perp so that person don’t think he did anything wrong because she went willing with them but like i have said something is off on this case u seen how fast they worked in the kira dittmeyer case and other cases identify suspects obtain search warrents i noticed they got a few people missing down in tn to me it looks like the tbi gots some serious issues
Jeff-
I can see where it looks like TBI may have issues, but I suspect the only one with issues is the guilty party. Notice also they didn’t say person of interest, but persons plural. I’m not sure if its one or more but I bet TBI knows. The reality is most likely, TBI has them clearly in their crosshairs. They’re just gathering enough ammo to take them down hard. Metaphorical scenario of course. I wonder if the guilty feel like sitting ducks, or think their camouflaged. Maybe a little of both, must suck to be them.
I can assure all that TBI is competent, clear and concise in their approach to this case.
If any party feels as if they are “controlling events” based on the weight of their wealth, well, just ask Mike Skakel how he likes his cell.
B
roller- did I read this correctly?
If I did, you are dead wrong, and I have no idea why you would say that.
B
I’m not really sure what you mean? Yes, I did mean what I said. But I’m wondering if you are thinking something else? Honestly not sure why what I said would seem off. Thinking I may have been misunderstood?
You blamed Holly’s brother and Father?
B
A few things I’ve heard or thought of:
1. It’s reported a neighbor heard her “screams.” Why didn’t the brother?
2. Didn’t the brother wonder where the “boyfriend’s” truck was?
3. If the blood in the driveway was Holly’s she surely would have DROPPED all her things, from the shear pain of being hurt.
4. I too have wondered why the family is not out searching also.

“While police initially believed an abductor dragged Bobo away as she left for school last Wednesday, investigators now suspect it was a community member in camouflage who led Bobo into the woods near her home. Police say they have begun the process of identifying persons of interest in the case.”
zeus says: April 27, 2011 at 6:47 pm
(snipped)”So my question now is–if LE ‘initially believed an abductor dragged Bobo away,’ why do they ‘now suspect it was a community member in camouflage who led Bobo into the woods’?”
kuaitzudog and Zeus:
I don’t think law enforcement ever believed that Holly was dragged. The initial information that she was dragged during a verbal dispute serves an investigative purpose.
For example (hypothetically), if Holly walked away with her abductor, it suggests she knew him. By concealing that fact, law enforcement gives the abductor a false sense of security. It also serves to protect the witness, who may well have recognized the perpetrator.
And another question: I’ve heard the house described as having a carport – can someone tell me WHERE on the house the carport is? From all the pics I’ve seen, I can’t determine this.
The difference between dragged and led was cleared up (at least to my satisfaction) in the very first week.
Clint did not mean dragged in a literal sense.
For example, someone might engage in a conversation in which she tells a friend, “Oh what a night, my husband dragged me to a god awful movie last night.”
This is how Clint meant it. But even a Fox News anchor used the term “dragged” as recently as this past weekend. IMO that is inexcusable and perpetuates these misunderstandings by the general public. Clint didn’t change his “story” as many have asserted. He simply clarified it after talking to LE.
As far as the TBI, I totally agree with Blink (and the vast majority of the locals) when he stated, “I can assure you that TBI is competent, clear and concise in their approach to this case.”
I know how these cases go. Bystanders and commenters get frustrated and start carelessly pointing fingers. It reminds me of when our favorite sports team has a losing streak. All of a sudden fans are yelling for the coach to be fired – or worse.
One last thing. That was amazing that the searchers found what some in LE have called a “lunch purse” eight miles away. EIGHT MILES!!!
Kudos to the searches for an amazing effort.
Agreed. Emotions are running high in this case, and it does not help that in my opinion, a great deal of misinformation is being spread.
B
I agree starshadow – where is the carport? Where was her vehicle? If he was in a kitchen area and it looked out into the garage and into the very short driveway part – that may be why the brother didn’t see the boyfriend’s truck or vehicle.
If you see somebody taking your sis by the arm and taking her to the woods – it must have been a gentle “take” or else why wouldn’t you go out there and check it out? I’ve read that she and the boyfriend were on again/off again – not a steady deal.
I have read that there were no hits by dogs of her scent going into the woods — why is that?
I think it’s just totally wrong to leave the public out of the search picture.
I believe victims could be found so much faster if the LE could learn to use the new technology and realize the public has as good or better toys than LE does — and we have a million eyes and they only have a few brains and eyes.
In other words — give us some tools to work with and let the darn public help.
All this “keeping stuff close to the vest” might have worked well in the good old days but not today. within minutes the public could lock in and lock down on perps if LE would just be smarter than the criminal.
I’m getting the feeling TBI doesn’t have anything. If they did, there would have been movement before now (since Friday when the tip came in)
