Holly Bobo Missing And Endangered: Are Suspects Naming Themselves- Odd Dodd?
Darden, TN–
On the eve of the 4 week anniversary of missing Darden, TN nursing student, Holly Bobo, new investigative details are being learned about the case. Two unofficial persons of interest have taken their case “public” in a way.
While blinkoncrime.com was aware of this information, a decision was made to withhold it in the interests of the cases “active” status previously.
That was, until today, when one of the known person’s of interests in Holly’s disappearance, outed himself publicly.
Jonathan Dodd, son of Bradley Grafton Dodd, and Dena Logan Dodd, chose the Parsons topix forum to “defend” himself against what he termed “death threats”.
Blink, Editor In Chief of www.blinkoncrime.com, was able to confirm the poster on the topix forum was indeed, Jon Dodd.
Speaking exclusively to www.blinkoncrime on the condition of anonymity, an extended family member of the Dodd family, sheds more light on Master Dodd’s claims.
“.. Yes, that is definitely him. I have no idea how he can say he does not know the Bobo family, he went to Scotts Hill with Holly for a short time. Karen Bobo, Holly’s Mom, worked for Grafton Dodd, his grandfather, when he was the principle of the Parson’s junior High when it was still there, Brad and Grafton are on the school board, there is no way that is true what is said.
Jon Dodd High School List From His myspace
When he is saying something was stolen from the property, he is talking about the ATV you wrote about before, when I saw that, I knew you were aware of him. Sandy called the sheriffs department before she knew that Holly was missing to report that their ATV was stolen. Sandy is also the cheer leading coach at Riverside High, since forever, and she got into some minor trouble a few years back because she got caught rigging the tryouts. Nothing major, but everyone knew about it. Dena, his Mom, was a teacher at Riverside shortly after he got transferred, which is weird again.
Everyone in this family has been covering for Jon since he was a kid. I could not believe when he stabbed Brad with a scissors when he was about 8 1/2, there was a big cover up. Last year Dena moved to Gwinnett County because the grands let him get away with anything. He has a baby with Shelby Sellers and nobody really even knew about that until after.
Jon went to the great-grandparents for a while in Arab, Ala in 2006 after the girl was killed in the car accident that got his ass beat up when he said she deserved it, and again, nobody said a word. Brad and Dena started up that Boy Scouts thing for him and (redacted by blink).
What is he talking about? What does donate DNA mean? O that is totally him, I can tell by the “I get paid to hunt” or whatever. Speaking of hunting, the abandoned cabin that volunteers found, when Grafton was told, was when he refused permission for any other searches and they got a warrant. Grafton and Sandy were seen removing a mattress from that part of the property, the one they found in the place where the outhouses were used recently. (redacted) saw him in WalMart, he looked at her and said he did not do it, I swear. Really scary.
He (Jon) did not donate DNA, it was taken from him in the parking lot of Tuckers Diner, he did not have a choice. The LE came there and showed some papers. Grafton’s was taken too, but I don’t know were, I heard it was at the area of the Pugh property, by that Shayne Austin’s parents house.
Another doozie…”
The X Factor
A former boyfriend of Holly Bobo’s, Blake Barnett, is also doing nothing to avoid being scrutinized. It is clear from his facebook postings that he is aware of his “celebrity”, and that folks following this case, are reading.
While it does not make him a bad guy, we have confirmed that he has had a background of alleged violence, in a former relationship with Holly Bobo.
He was the first name utttered by Holly Bobo’s parents, Dana and Karen, when they learned of her abduction.
That said, there is no known evidence linking Mr. Barnett to Holly’s disappearance.
Barnett is no stranger to violence, unfortunately, Blake, his brother and sister lost their parents Timothy and Janice in a brutal murder in 1993.
John Robinson, with actus reus assistance from his wife Kimberly, murdered both of the Barnett’s because they were after him for bounced checks.
Amelia, Blake’s little sister, was left in her crib for 48 hours before police found her while looking for the Barnett’s. She survived.
There have been no official suspects or persons of interest named in the disappearance of Holly Bobo in 4 weeks.
There has not been a LE update to her case since May 2.
The search effort for Holly Bobo continues.

I am getting a bad feeling that this whole thing is going to blow up. I think this is more than pointing fingers and could lead to a something worse.
Too much tension between family, TBI, possible suspects and local LE.
Am I the only one here who thinks the family is acting in a detrimental way? I mean, on one hand, my heart breaks for them but I feel that something isn’t right.
At the same time, I don’t like TBI and have never felt that are a capable group of investigators. I thought the press conference was a bit tacky. There weren’t even any Holly posters at the press conference….no phone number to call with info. It just seems strange.
Could the Bobo family and TBI each be part of the problem with this case being resolved? I just don’t know….
Sorry but I am going to begin to sound like a broken record.
I think that the Bobo family should hire counsel, who in turn would have prepared the press conf appropriately for their goal. I say that with the utmost respect for them, but they need an advocate who has experience in similar matters. I am familiar with this general area and the difficulties of working with the TBI and they are in over their head through NO FAULT of their own. It should not be, but it is.

I agree there is a lot of tension. However I think this is bad for the suspect. If there are people in le covering for them then they should be taken down to.
I fear vigilante justice in this case. JMO
Agreed, and I have for a very long time. I thought that was a concern of TBI as well, but must not be since Helm was tweeting about it.
Sad.
B
Just watched that video of the press conference, and as a father of three children, I cannot imagine what the last two years have been like for them.
I’m sure mistakes have been made by the family and by TBI. However, it seems as though TBI just basically put blinders on (for whatever reason) and totally stopped trying. The attitude of Mrs. Helm is unfortunate and unprofessional, and I am amazed anyone in that level of LE would even have a twitter account. It just stands to reason that nothing good could come from it.
With all of that being said, I do not blame Karen Bobo for taking things in her own hands. It may not have been the right thing, or the smart thing to do…..but at least she’s getting Holly’s name back out there and hopefully it will lead to her recovery.
Agreed entirely.

Hi all.
This way of going on for this case just let me look again at mine, so dear Blink, if you think that my opinion is out of line, please just delete it.
When two years ago, I saw that brief news for Holly’s abduction, I think that hey she is American and the best police force in the world is there, they are professional and will find her very soon.
I regretted at that time for myself because as a person with losing a very precious loved one, my only brother, as an apparent staged suicide and our police was not even bothered to try another scenario except their formal thinking. I said to myself, hey you didn’t have access to such professional force and in my country, that’s the way things going on.
Now here I am after two years and I see that, no the problem is with all the polices in all the world whom wouldn’t bother themselves to think a bit out of their own strategies.
The problem is that the polices in all the world cannot understand the pain. I’ve lost my lovely brother two days before my wedding and just God knows what I am going through every day and night. He was being taken from me and I become alone in this big world. For Bobos, they are going through more pain with losing and not knowing to grief or not. Their pain is much more than mine and we, all of us, must blame polices because they cannot UNDERSTAND the PAIN.
For Mrs. Helms, Holly Bobo is just another case but for her family and friends, she is one unique and not-to-be-repeated person that is missed always and forever, just like my brother for me and everyone’s lost loved one.
I don’t know what to do, so please just pray for all of lost loved ones to be found safe or at least the responsible ones being caught in justice. God helps us all.
Alex, what a unique perspective, I thank you for sharing it. I am sincerely sorry for the loss of your brother.
B
Thanks Blink for everything.
Blink, do you believe the perp could be someone from the Bobo’s family…not the parents or brother…but extended family? Could the incident be related to Drew and his father being on the grandmother’s property early on the morning of the abduction?
I believe it is possible Holly’s disappearance is connected to activities of an extended family member, yes.
B
MOO….NB
I don’t have it if you posted it already?
B
No, and you would see it saying “awaiting moderation” if it did, I have your others.

: ( I posted it right after that first comment but it said that I was posting too fast and to slow down. I must have zoned out and forgot to hit submit it again. Arggggghhhhhh

Holly’s family? Must also consider Drew’s family…
That would fall under extended family for me, but it was my intent to phrase my comment that way my dear Rollermonkey

Blink – have you followed the Katelyn Markham case at all?
http://www.fox19.com/story/21975966/attorney-katelyn-markham-was-murdered-by-serial-killer
I see that her body was found in April and some wonder if it was a serial killer. Given the vicinity of Katelyn, Lauren Spierer, Holly Bobo, and others, do you have any thoughts on the serial killer theory?
1. I would question who this atty’s prospective clients are.
2. He clearly knows nothing about the profile of serial killers et al, as he quoted characteristics that are equally found in many types of homicides.
3. Lauren S. friends know exactly where she is and what happened to her. She did not disappear.
I don’t know the facts surrounding Katelyn’s case Jack, but on the surface there is no leap to be made here I can see.
As an example- LE thought Skyler Neese was the vic of a “serial killer” initially. As you know for the most part, we are not locating serial killers until there is a fairly established pile of victims and I am quite confident that many of which we still don’t know the extent of their victim count, unfortunately.

Some kind of extended family rebellion, perhaps? Is there a history of family fall outs (disagreements, charges pressed, etc, between extended family members?) The word ‘cousin’ comes to mind.
She has some relatives that have had issues with drug abuse and what I would call a stint in the exotic industry.

Public apology from WSMV…

Has Whitney Duncan (cousin to Holly and country singer) being questioned by authorities? She’s been in the front lines, continuing to raise awareness wrt Holly’s abduction.

idk about person posting at that link or the source of the information, but if it is true, i found this snip interesting:
“✔Tennessee Bureau of Investigation officials said they are getting more leads than they can handle, including hundreds of calls about rumors. They ask ONLY people with SERIOUS information to call.”
to me it suggests that they have already some strong leads or a good idea of what happened to Holly and they are just looking for some missing pieces they don’t have.
otherwise, if they were just scratching their heads about this, they would be entertaining all calls, theories and information. jmo.

Thanks Blink…. No chance she’s alive or is it your belief she died shortly after abduction (exotic industry)? I ask because this sounds like a debt that needed to be settled and/or perhaps someone (high up in the drug chain of command) noticed Holly…and thought she could make him/them a lot of money.

Thank you for your feedback, deetee. I appreciate it
Sometimes I wonder if the statement ‘we have a lot of leads’ isn’t just a way to calm the masses. There’s been very few statements regarding Holly’s abduction. It’s pissing people off, especially Holly’s family (understandably so!). AJMHO
To my knowledge, Holly had not direct ties to the “shady’- outside of the connections I mentioned. I personally believe she is deceased, and has been since a few hours of her abduction.
I truly believe this family deserves a fresh set of eyes on her case, and that her family’s only hope is to hire an attorney to consult and to possibly consult on progressive actions.
B
Praying for the fresh perspective and ‘eyes’, friendLY. I know God has a hand in this and HIS justice prevails. It always does. xo xo xo
Amen.

I have wondered why there were not more searches in the direction of the Tennessee River. It is only 10-20 miles from Parsons. There are multiple access points and feeder creeks/tributaries. I have fished just south of the Parsons area, and it seems as though the river would be an easy place to hide a victim and “cover one’s tracks” so to speak.
I only remember one mention of a search in that direction, and it was within a week of the abduction.
If they haven’t found her between Parsons and the interstate……why haven’t they searched more diligently in the direction of the river?
Just thinking out loud……..
