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 wonder if anyone thinks that its possible that when clint was making these phone calls to find out where holly was one of them phone calls went to the perp while he was abducted her
Thankyou for your encouragement B, it helped to let some fresh air in. It’s all good! You have a good night.

I’d have to have a guard on me if I was a Bobo too. They could be there to keep them from doing something they might regret.
Keeping the faith
I have been reading this site daily since the Kyron thing started, but have never before commented. I began the Kyron thing with faith in LE (I guess like most, I want desperately to think they are good, smart, capable and wise). Needless to say, that faith has waned… and now the silence in this case horrifies me that the outcome might be the same.
So, it was somewhat fun in an odd way to see the folks who come onto Blink’s website thinking they can somehow outsmart or rile up the lady who is clearly a very classy professional. I guess I needed a laugh today, after all the gritting of my teeth for the last weeks of this case while praying for a resolution.
And, since I’ve bothered to speak up… my personal opinion is: The perp here is a spoiled brat kid/young man who always got what he wanted. I doubt he really gave a hoot about Holly at all, he was just highly annoyed that she turned him away when he came onto her, as he was accustomed to getting his own way all the time. In my mind, he didnt likely plan to kill her, as he didnt likely plan much of anything at all.. maybe rape, or maybe just “I’m gonna go show her that I CAN have her!.. I’ll show her, I’ll MAKE her go with me!” But once things get rolling, and people start realizing the consequences of what they have done… well, bad things start to happen.. ALL just MOO as they say.
Thanks for a great informative no-bs site, Blink!

Blink, I have 2 computers so I may be showing up as a different system, or however that works. (Edit out if you want)
It seems that many people are still wondering why Clint reacted the way he did, if we are even getting the exact reporting of this right.
Please keep a few things in mind-Clint reacted the way Clint would, which may or may not be the way one of us would. In other words, when you are faced with an emergency situation, you must first realize it IS an emergency situation then you rapidly decide what to do.
No crack on Clint, but he is not a parent and probably didn’t react the way a parent would. This is not to say he didn’t take things seriously or that he doesn’t love his sister, but we all see things and respond to things a bit differently, based on a ton of factors. I do not believe he reacted incorrectly.
To me, the big thing that shows Clint is innocent is that he did SOMETHING. He took action. He cared and knew something was wrong.
That’s just my 2 cents worth. I am so frustrated, like all of you.
Praying for Holly and her family and friends, LE, and for the perps to get caught or actually turn themselves in.
After seeing Blink’s comment to Becca (#39), I still feel that LE is well aware of who committed this crime. They must be in a holding pattern for a reason. I look forward to the day arrests are made. Prayers to the Bobo family.
Just for general information on peeps that are not comfortable with the way a certain few of us speak, I just wanted to let you know it is very difficult to speak one way and write another. Because of my accent I get “a” and “e”, “i”‘s confused when I spell words… I usually use my word program with auto-correct because of that.
What your seeing from AB is not the same thing, I’m pretty sure AB is JD or some other young kid that has an agenda of some kind. Stop responding to them they will stop writing.
I’m still praying for this girl and her family, but it’s not lookin’ very good for her now.
Just for the record, I don’t have any issue with how anyone speaks, I enjoy people from all the word “speaking” here.
I am only ever offended by the language of rude.

LaurieO, you put this so nicely and I agree with you. We are not going to look out of the window in our own home and expect to see something wrong. He was not in a danger mode. His brain at that time was able to process his sister and someone in cameo walking beside her and that in itself was something he had seen a hundred times before. Now the flecks of blood, no sign of Holly and her car still in the carport when he knew she should have been gone in the car is probably something he has never seen before. JMO
ok jeff No. 43 comment, we host the world’s largest coon hunt every year. It is a benefit for St. Jude’s Hospital. It lasts a week. People fill up our motels, and come in campers and live at the fair grounds. Lots of money is raised. It’s really a show off your dog show. Winners get money, prizes and recognition. Most of the people are not local. Locals participate sure, but many people have been coming here for years, they know the county just like we do and like I said esp. the back roads, as THEY ARE HUNTING FOOLS. They still bring their ATV’s even though they don’t use em to hunt. They left on Sunday, had three days to plan their crime and came back and carried it out. That is just my opinion. People around here can’t keep secrets, esp when there is some reward money on the line. Been here 45 years so I know a little bit. Volunteers from the county work there serving food and hosting contests and many other things. Google works if you want to know. We get all kinds of strange folks. Most of them are probably harmless to the locals, but it still just makes me think since there has been so little evidence, and since we live in such a small town that nobody gets away with anything, because people tell stuff, the smallest piece of gossip or speculation gets someone caught. Most braggarts can’t keep their mouth shut and they would have said something to someone and they would have told for the reward money. They stalked Holly at the coon hunt because she worked there every day, so I was told, and she sang. What perv wouldn’t want a beautiful girl like her who can sing too. They got her from Swan Johnson, and in 15 to 20 minutes while throwing her stuff out along the way they were on the Interstate. You can get there from many different avenues. Check the map.
And yes 35. daydreamer that is Alice Alexander Barnett, she thinks she knows everything and she wants everyone to know it. She is trying to be important, she always has tried, but unsuccessfully.
And can someone explain to me what Jason Todd has to do with this, who he is and why he is involved.
I am not aware of any involvement on his part, his GF is an Alexander and had put the Holly reward pic on her FB and then took it off a few days later.
B
And I do wish people would quit blaming Blake Barnett. EVERYONE is suspect. Not just ex-boyfriends that were hurt by Holly. This is more that likely someone who LIVES ALONE and in isolation. If they are keeping her to torment, unless they had an accomplice that is just as sick as they are, they would get outed. If there are two of them may they run each other through or get jealous and tell on each other. I still think it is just one person. with a pistol, zip ties and duct tape. That is pretty much all you need to abduct someone, besides a way out. They also could have went someone and changed tires on the vehicles they were in. I saw two perfectly good dirt bike tires sprockets and all thrown in a creek on Gibson Road. They could have zip tied her hands to the handle bars and been gone, stopped changed tires and hit the highway. Where are Abby and Ducky when we need em.
Where did you see them on Gibson?
B
Sorry, I mean somewhere and changed tires.
I will always have a problem with this kind of thing, how can a person or human being can be so cruel to other humans? So brutal and relentless, and hurt so many people around them by destroying innocent live’s, and then go back Jack, and do it again. In my opinion they are nothing but an animal! When a dog goes over the edge and goes to biting everyone around it, you have to put it down. To me it’s the same thing with a human. If they have forsaken all in order to fullfill the evil that is in there flesh, they have become worse then the dog! And has gone over the edge,he is worse than the dog, and must be put down for good, before he can go back Jack, and do it again.
I actually think clint did what he could do with the time he was provided. Everyone is assuming this crime took some time to happen in the yard or carport area. My assumption is clint didn/t have time to react. He probley ran outside just in time to see them taking her into the woods my reaction would be to run after them if i could which i am guessing is reaction was the same. This is why the rumor of atv’s used when clint relized he couldn’t keep up he went in called 911. I hate to say but my first reaction would be to go after them i would call 911 second
annie
Thats a good theory about an out of towner but why wouldn’t u just do it at the fair grounds. Why go to all the troulble of getting up and going to the house. Then u got to assume they picked the exact time she was coming out of the house to abduct her. Unless your assuming they sat and watched the house. I just think there is too much involved with the house the carport the woods to be an out of towner
annie
Are you saying the coon hunt was over before holly went missing then they came back on a wendesday and abducted her at 7 30 am in the morning. Do u know of anyone that had a three or four hour window from 5-9 am that is albi could be they were sleeping but they were actually commmitted a crime
Can you source this, I was told that is not accurrate?
B
ok, go down Gibson road, not Yuoal Gibson, the road that turns to the left after the Paul White farm, stay left and after you pass Wayne Gibson its down in the bottom below Wayne’s land, at least I think its his land. Not sure on that. They were on the right side going back towards Parsons in the creek bed. I realize we had flooding, but I still don’t get it why two perfectly good dirt bike tires were just thrown away there, intact on the rims. If they had floated wouldn’t you think both of them would have been in the creek. I saw these before all the flooding anyway. Within a week of her abduction. I think people need to quit focusing on these area kids and look to the adults and the people who came with these adults to the coon hunt. It takes a pretty smart person to plan all this and leave no traces of evidence. These teenage boys who smoke pot and drink beer would have already screwed up by now and said something, would have detoured from their story or somehow told on themselves. It almost has to be one person. The only way to keep a secret like this is if you are the only one who knows, and if you don’t live here it would be even easier not to tell someone who might expose you. The focus of the public on all these boys is allowing the real perpetrator to be free of even being looked at.
I just pray that this can be solved somehow, someway sooner than later, because of her safety, sanity and that of her family. I for one will never forget this. I will forever be looking for Holly, everywhere I go. Praying for Holly’s return to her family, for some closure of some sort. Like poor Beth Holloway has gained strength to create a show about missing persons, I pray that Karen and Dana and Clint can get something from this tragedy. I have seen the community pull together like I have never seen. I have seen many teenage boys out hunting for Holly, which tells me they do love their sisters, and want to protect them. I have seen lots of good but I ultimately want to see Holly returned. Prayers for strength for the Bobos, Drew Scott, her church, her friends, her community and most of all Holly.
Dear folks,
I want to mention something about Clint and his reaction. Many of you have questioned the reason for his reaction, for not running after his sister after seeing blood and other things. This is my own personal experience and I think this is just happened for Clint.
If you have a good and happy family, without problems and not seeing any bad things in your life, then you will have a very poor reaction in a bad situation. When something happened to my brother, I was so shocked and frightened from the disaster that I could not even describe the situation for a police patrol car out of our house in the street. I cannot dial emergency numbers, I was completely shocked and paralyzed. I ran to the street and saw a passing police car, I’ve stopped them but I said something completely false.
Anyway, I think this is what happened to Clint and now, from outside, you blame Clint for not running after her sister. Place your self in Clint’s shoes and you will see what the results are!
I am deeply praying that Holly comes back not only because of her parents but also and more for Clint who carries a very burden of regret and blame on his back. All of you if you can, pray for this young man.
Best regards,
Alex.
This case is very concerning to me. I live a little distance from Parsons and worry that there might be some crazy freak out here. I wish LE would would reassure us that this is an isolated incident but even then I’m not sure if I’d believe them since I feel like they don’t even know.
My prayers go out to Holly’s family and friends. I hope this doesn’t become another “cold case” and Holly is returned to you soon~

Hi Blink. I realize you have probably already seen these comments on the site (link below), but I wanted to provide them just in case you had not.

A lot of the confusion was caused by the media’s initial reports. FYI, a number of women and girls have disappeared or been found murdered within about a 35 mile radius of where she lived since the 1990s.

I am a PI that has been working on a case inside Decatur County since 2006 in regard to ANOTHER death ruled as natural that was “killed” in 2005 and it has political coverup written all over it. I have hard core evidence to my statements. My 1st suggestion would be that ALL of the LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT there also submit to a polygraph. The outside public don’t have one clue as to how corrupt these “badge toters” are there. I haven’t seen anything that leads me to believe that they weren’t involved in the whole thing. It is nothing, in this area of drug cartels to take a human being for a payment owed them for drugs. One of my 1st cases there involved a young man being taken hostage over his drug debt. Now, let me clarify, in no way am I saying this young lady was parlaying into drugs, but so much evasive actions from the local LE and the brother made me take another approach. What if the brother had a small little drug use history? These people will “spot” you a few and then come to collect payment. The lure of it, if you will. Also, you have to understand that there is VERY little in this town to support what you visibly will come to see there; palatial homes, airplanes and million dollar homes on the bluffs of the TN River. That money IS coming from somewhere. Not all of it, but some is from drug trafficking. It’s a well thought out and orchestrated plan, from the bottom to top. I have a relative in CID in TN that even got brazen enough to state that this invisible neighbor that placed the 911 call phoned HIS cell phone 1st when the scream was heard. My relative resides 45 miles away and they call him? He even goes further, he mentions a flat bed truck with OK plates and it had some form of container on it’s bed (was this big enough to place Holly in it?) Why is a member of the CID telling at least 4 of my family members this information? I reported this to the TBI. If this scenario is real, then the blood on the carport and across the yard could have stopped with her being placed into the container. This would answer why the dogs DID NOT make a hit or pick up her scent going off into the woods. The local law there use their badges to intimidate the private citizens and they are NOT what they appear on camera. FACT! Most of the private citizens don’t know what I have come to learn about them. Most live in fear of them and won’t talk. This is why you won’t get much from them other than saying it’s a “crime free” area (as I gag.) Mr Bobo is the owner to a Tree Cutting Service there and the area spoken about is not from his business. It did appear odd to me that the public had been told that they were going to pull back starting the 25th if nothing else was found. Then on Easter Sunday, a piece of evidence shows up. Manna from heaven or put there on purpose to hold attention to the case. These are all “just my opinions,” but the young lady was an innocent bystander to something that she either witnessed (more to that part of the story) or was a drug debt owed and was this an intimidation or rouse to make it appear as something else? As a parent, I want this young lady to come home to her family and live in peace, but peace is NOT was Decatur County is about. Another FACT!

@ Jeff:
I don’t mean to be rude, but you really don’t need to keep throwing out a hundered different possibilities in order to keep people thinking…folks are already thinking or they wouldn’t be here. Maybe it’s just me, but I’m having a difficult time following any of your theories as they are contradictory to the few facts that have already been presented. I know the public hasn’t been given much, but what little is known is the best place to start and continue to work from there.
Occam’s Razor…”one should not increase, beyond what is necessary, the number of entities required to explain anything”.
My question is why the apparent “silence” from the community, LE and the media? Nothing, nada, zilch, only 5 weeks into this? Just doesn’t sound right to me.
annie,
Thank you for all the information.I realize you don’t like AB very
much but you are still on the same team.Team Blake.He was an ex-boyfriend of Holly’s an had an obsession with her.Hence the RO,
and the picture on his Facebook.Now there are others with pictures
of just Holly.I found it odd with her, having a current boyfriend,he
would post a picture of him and Holly in better times on his status.
I think you are trying to divert everyone’s attention to an outsider
at the coon hunt.I don’t believe it!I am not saying it was Blake,but I
do believe it was a local(s) and so does LE.How did an outsider know when she would be leaving to go to school and her parents not home. Stalked?That is a strong word to use.I am sure lots of men flirted with her and maybe winked.She is beautiful.The tires on Gibson did you report them to LE?Are you also saying the coon hunters knew the Bobo’s woods as well.Did they hunt there too?
y’know, I live in a small town, place that pretty much never has anything like this happen, but the rare handful of times during my life when it has, and there are no clearcut answers… this is exactly what happens.
To start with, everyone is gung-ho and interested and chatty and willing to help, the few wound-tight or attention-seeking ones always have someone to accuse, usually either the “assumed bad boys” or the “upstanding community member that they have some personal grudge against”. Seems like there’s usually two “suspects” or “groups of suspects”, and they’re pretty much mutually exclusive and based on things that might have some small grain of truth in there somewhere… but stretched it so far past that that you have 1) a person or small group of fringe that is sure there’s some conspiracy going on, 2) a large portion of the population that eventually gives up because nothing is happening through there’s a lot of static being thrown around, and 3) whoever really did it, we’re never going to figure out. The #1′s are too busy chasing personal grudges or paranoia, the #2′s are exhausted trying to sort it out all, and law enforcement has to spend 90% of their energy trying to get rid of the fluff.
In the small town I’m in, there’s two kinds of homicide. The first is simple, crime and motive are blatantly obvious, and the culprit is (very) promptly determined. The second, the only time there are answers is when there is a) more then one guilty party, and b) someone rats the other(s) out.
I have never seen a case resolved here after it has degenerated in the the local gossip and feuding stage. Sure, I’d like to see something different for Holly… but if that small town is anything like mine, I’m not optimistic at this point.
There’s one positive that might be the saving grace – and that’s that outside, more experience law enforcement was brought in fast. Not by any means foolproof – but if you pray, I’d be praying for the TBI.
Hi Blink-
Any updates on Kyron or Morgan?

I gotta back you up on that one. Mostly, the information that we have doesn’t require to speculate way out there other than ask…..where is Holly? I’m not sure you ‘re aware of Blink’s investigative background and what she’s able to share and not share.
Jeff, are you incognito? I need to ask. My hinky shot to def con 5 cause you write like someone very specific.
…if I’m wrong, I apologize.
My comment is mostly addressed to jeff. I agree with Investigator word for word. My post does not indicate as such. Sorry for the confusion!
investigator
Has you can see this crime has not be solved at all we know is holly was led from the craport area to the woods by a guy. There was one 911 call from her brother. There was a small spot of blood in the carport area. When someone does a crime you got to rule out other possiblites until you get to the one that makes the most sense. The only way you don’t do this is if you have conreate dna of the perp in question and a concreate witness putting the perp at the scene of the crime. Now do i know if le has these two things answers no does anyone know no probley not anyone outside the tbi. I like to ask question why was the perp there how did he get there what was is target why did the perp leave where did the blood come from what form of vehicle did they use were they on foot etc. Investigator do u think the le told all the facts in this case lets say they found a murder weapon would they tell anyone probley not. Lets say they found more blood then their saying would they tell anyone probley not. Its like i said i want to know what happed with holly leading to this point.
ragdoll
No i am not one of the perps or their many friends that come on here. I wonder if one of the many things i said was too close to home. I don’t know how you can find someone without asking questions isn’t that how cold cases happen. Shouldn’t u speculate on the hows and why I thought this is what this website was for. I mean how many times can u speculate on what was given shouldn’t u go further. Right now all this has turned into on here is fighting between suspect perps and non perps. I don’t want to get into that i am trying to find the reason has to why they would do the crime.
Blink, I read your page alot,but I’m finding it hard to follow today. Where are you Blink is Holly going. To be found?
Just because there is silence from the community, LE and the media does
not mean we have to be silent on here.I have read a lot of good posts
on here and information shared.I agree we might not know much because it has not been shared but one post on here could turn that around.Blink said this is a learning blog and this is so true.I feel that Jeff is trying to help out like others on here.Yes he sometimes thinks faster than he writes.He has not been rude and I believe he cares.I have seen others respond kindly to what he has written.Maybe he does need to tone it down a little,but he is new like a few of us are:)If you are looking for answers why give up.Where is Holly Bobo?
ragdoll
You can ask me any question you want at anytime. I have no problems with it at all. I am not the best at grammer on here sometimes I forget to spell words out. Sometimes I hit my computer and i am halfway into two sentences i already wrote still typing away. I don’t relize it til I send it. So if i say somethign strange or post something strange feel free to call me out.
Occam’s Razor…”one should not increase, beyond what is necessary, the number of entities required to explain anything”
Pluralitas non est ponenda sine neccesitate
It does not and cannot prove that the simplest answer is correct. All it can tell us is that it is senseless to propose a more complex answer than necessary
Thank you, Ode.
Question for Blink and all-
So most people seem to think there is someone whom the police are interested in, but have not named as a suspect. Is this person, if he even does exist, know he is being looked at unofficially by police? Or is he unaware of the suspicions of the police? Of course, we can’t say for sure if the police are suspicious of him because they have not named any POI or suspect. Does any of this make any sense? I cannot articulate tonight.
I guess what I might also mean is, “Are the police really suspicious of JD?” Or someone else?
as far as Clint calling others before he called 911..here is my take. My sons girlfriend was killed instantly in a head on crash with a tractor trailer on her way to collegeone morning. I had the heavy task of calling him (he was in another state in the Marines at the time) and notifying him of her death.He truly did not believe me that she was gone. So he hung up the phone and then called me back a short time later. He told me he had called her cell phone and “she did not answer Mom?” Sometime when we are shocked and our system cannot handle it,we need to prove it to our mind. So I feel that Clint wanted to call Holly and have her tell him she was alright, and “you just imagined it Clint”.
Investigator: I am on all the boys sides who are being accused wrongly, not just Blake. He doesn’t even come close to weighing two hundred pounds, he might be 5’10″ but not close to six foot. Yes i reported the tires to someone I know in the TBI. I realize AB is on Blakes side, she is his aunt by marriage. But her running you down when you are only trying to get info is a useless ploy to build herself up. Mainly I am on Holly’s side. To Jeff, yes the coon hunt was over the weekend before Holly was taken if I have my dates right. She couldn’t have worked and sang there if she was taken before. Yes them people learn these woods. They hunt on some local properties because they also know people here. They are welcomed, and as for taking her at the coon hunt, there would be the possibility of being caught and possibly detained. The coon hunt is crowded all weekend, you should check it out next year to see what I mean. Too many witnesses, after all when dealing with hunters you don’t know who is hiding in the woods do you. And camoflauge is everywhere. Blake has been over his obsessions with Holly for some time now. He isn’t much on giving his heart and she stomped the sucker flat. But he isn’t the type of person to do something like this. He talks too much and makes threats, but he is a big bag of wind. His father and step-mother being murdered has nothing to do with what has happened now, and I just think all that being brought up is useless. Everyone in Decatur County knows about that. Holly didn’t go with him out of sympathy. Blake was a good kid when he had Holly. His life has went kind of down hill since they broke up, but not to the point that he would resort to kidnapping her. He has said things, but he is also suffering through all this too, because he still cared for her but would deny that he did, only now does he realize that he has made mistakes that put him in the public eye.
I am thinking if I were the perp how I would go about getting information from her about her schedule. I would just simply ask questions, what do you do?, where do you live? just casual conversation. Oh, you go to school, where at? What time does it start. Has anyone got a Garmin out there, it’s easy to find an address. There is a road right behind the Bobo house in the woods, hunters know how to get around out there, as do locals. People around are eager to help others, not thinking that they may be putting themselves in danger. I just think all doors should be left open, and while the focus is continually on the local boys, the real perp could have already done irreparable damage. Blake was at work at 9:00 a.m. that morning with Drew Scotts father. So he had to work fast if he had anything to do with it. Besides that he lives with Jim and Sandra Jones and I know they would rat him out if they thought he knew anything.
To Jeff anyone that i know with a 3-4 hour window when they were supposed to be sleeping is me, what about you? That sure does leave a lot of people to be questioned? Anyone who doesn’t work, anyone who lives alone, or was alone, and not at work. Or didn’t have to be at work until 9:00 a.m. This took some planning, waiting, and more than likely they had already practiced this before carrying it out. They had to have locked her up somewhere and left her, but I bet would have been too paranoid or anxious to play with their new toy. Everyone around here has sheds, barns, basements, hidden rooms, storm shelters underground, there is an endless list of places they could stash Holly and use her for their sick enjoyment. But keeping our focus on just local people is preventing us from looking outside the box. Anything is possible with all the activity we had going on just the week before in Decatur County. Home of the World’s Largest Coon Hunt. Home of Holly Bobo, now violated home of the entire community.
Hi Blink,
Do you think there’s any truth to the theory Annie posted above re the coon festival. Is it possible it is an out of tower? Or is it as LE says they believe it is a local? Do you think LE KNOWS who it is? Thats the impression I get.
Thanks
I’d like to share something I enjoyed in this mornings church meeting, It reminded me of Holly Bobo. It’s a verse out of a song called, “In Christ Alone”…’No guilt in life, no fear in death, this is the power of Christ in me; from lifes first cry to final breath, Jesus commands my destiny. No power of hell, no scheme of man, can ever pluck me from His Hand: till He returns or calls me home, here in the power, and love of Christ I’ll stand!….Here is a very good bible verse to go with that song. John 10:28,29- And I give them eternal life, and no one shall snatch them out of My Hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, “is greater than all” and no one can snatch them out of my Father’s Hand. v.30- I and the Father are One! Praise the Lord God Almighty, may His peace, love and comfort be with the Bobo family now and forever more….Amen
Blink, can you throw us a crumb? I’ve been continually reading what I can re Holly’s abduction. I think I’m more confused than when I started. Anything news worthy?

Investigator: I am on all the boys sides who are being accused wrongly, not just Blake. He doesn’t even come close to weighing two hundred pounds, he might be 5’10″ but not close to six foot…snip
I’m not exactly sure why this was addressed to me?? No one has “run me down” or tried to get any info from me.
I merely asked “Why this case is not getting any attention from LE, TBI, Family, Friends, Community, Media”?
For what it’s worth…I roll with Blink here…wherever she goes, so do I.
Annie –
Thank you for sharing all of this! I hear what you are saying, but I want to ask you one thing. If Blink is actively involved in this case and she says things like…
1. There will be an arrest
2. It will SHOCK the community
3. LE/TBI think it is someone local
4. They are almost 100% sure, if not 100% sure, they know who did it
(all paraphrased because it would take too long to look back and find the exact posts)
If Blink is saying these things, what it causing you to be so sure to suggest otherwise? And I ask this because I sincerely want to know. Do you think Blink, LE, TBI, all those involved have it THAT wrong?
Cnog- respectfully, I do not allow anyone to “quote” me without a link, take the time, or you cannot say “what I think” please.

I don’t think anybody knows except the perp and Holly if she is still alive.

Has you can see this crime has not be solved at all we know is holly was led from the craport area to the woods by a guy. There was one 911 call from her brother. There was a small spot of blood in the carport area. When someone does a crime you got to rule out other possiblites until you get to the one that makes the most sense. The only way you don’t do this is if you have conreate dna of the perp in question and a concreate witness putting the perp at the scene of the crime. Now do i know if le has these two things answers no does anyone know no probley not anyone outside the tbi. I like to ask question why was the perp there how did he get there what was is target why did the perp leave where did the blood come from what form of vehicle did they use were they on foot etc. Investigator do u think the le told all the facts in this case lets say they found a murder weapon would they tell anyone probley not. Lets say they found more blood then their saying would they tell anyone probley not. Its like i said i want to know what happed with holly leading to this point.
Jeff, all I can say is, Seriously? I mean, Seriously? I can’t be the only one here that really doesn’t understand what you are saying. Please put some time into your spelling, grammar, puncuation, syntax. It is extremely difficult to read your posts, but after 2-3 attempts, I can only answer with this: Most of the questions you are asking, cannot be answered here. Information Blink provided has been vetted and is the only source of facts I would move forward with. Do you understand how Blink and this website operate? She only publishes factual information. Your theories are coming from too many directions and they do not connect to the facts.
Jeff- respectfully, you have to take the time to review your post, and it has to be coherent to be taken seriously.
I am no grammar police, lol, but if it stops or interrupts conversation flow, it is an issue.
Thanks

I live in ohio so my albi is i live in ohio i am just an outsider looking in trying to figure out why this case isn’t solved. Its a little upsetting to know at any time for anybody someones kid can be abducted. I can tell you people who are seriously depressed do dumb things because their numb to reality.
investgator
What i was trying to say is this case isn’t going to be solved if no one figures out why it happed in the first place. The tbi isn’t going to tell people on here or the public whats going on to solve this case. Hopefully this case don’t end up a cold case and six months from now everyone is still talking about it. Then maybe after that time grammer what matter has much

I don’t think everyone should have to type with periods and commas. Especially when your on a blog, that wants people to post what they think. Does my grammer and sentence structure need work, yes you got me there. I well try my hardest to type better so you can understand what I write. Yes I do ramble when I answer questions. Its hard to get points across when your typing, sometimes I have a lot to say. So all i can say is well do my best on here so you can have a better day.
@ Annie.
Thank you for coming here and helping us to understand the community better.
I hear the pain in your words.
I pray for you and your community – that the peace of having some answers about Holly will come soon.
It’s one thing to read about crimes like this in the news, but when evil strikes close to home it changes you completely.
A close relative of mine was brutally murdered last year and so many lives have been forever changed.
The fear and loss of innocence that anything like this could happen to someone you love and care for – changes the way you think about everything forever.
I understand you saying that you will never forget this and that you will forever be looking for Holly.
I continued to telephone my cousins phone long after she had passed – just to hear her lovely voice on her voicemail.
Some peace will come when an arrest(s) is made, but then there is still a long road ahead with details that will shock you and then the long road to a trial and making sure justice is served.
Stay close to and share your pain and confusion with family and friends.
The Bobo family is living a hell on earth right now.
May our Lord Bless and comfort you and your community.
Peace be with you.

Just to let you know by know means I am mad or think your rude. You have every right just like anyone on here to tell me my grammer sucks. I am trying to do my best to put fourth a theory an answer to why this crime happed. Sometimes I do get carried away with what I am writing. I try to put every thing I am thinking into one paragraph so i apoligize. I will do my best to improve my grammer so the people of this good board understand what i am saying.
That’s what I am talking about, Jeff.

I don’t want to get into that i am trying to find the reason has to why they would do the crime.
Well, criminals who take beautiful young women are generally motivated by sinister, yet very simple impulses that most of us have in check. I’m not religious, but look at the ten commandments and you’ll likely find your answer.
The how is troubling man of us. I do wonder how this individual(s) has managed to elude LE for so long. This may be because they need more evidence before they can make an arrest, or we may all be surprised to learn that this was more random than we thought. In which case, the public’s assistance may be the key to cracking it. I tend to not favor the latter though since LE is not asking much f the public. Personally, I’ve hit a brick wall in ideas due to the lack of information. I do continue to hope for closure for all involved to come quickly.
