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.

As for the connection between Kristie Baugus Moon and LB, they may be some sort of distant kin. But LB was just a child when Kristie went missing. They have never found her body, many rumours have circulated over the years. All resulting in her death. She was mixed up with a psycho and he is also dead. The psycho shot the current sheriff and was eventually shot and killed by Parsons police officer Darryl Drehman who is now deceased. Creepy as this is, Officer Drehman was directing traffic after a minor accident and was hit on the head by a telephone pole that was broken and run into by a young boy, Jason Tharp, who has a baby by Kristie Moon. She had this child while her husband Marlon Moon was in prison, who is also deceased. This has been a vicous circle of unfortunate deaths and crazy coincidences. Scary as hell. Her daughter Kayla Hatley is now grown and living with her father, Jeff Hatley, who has connections with LLJ who is BB’s mother. LLJ and Kristie Moon were friends and her ex-husband Jamie Spence is a cousin to Kristie Moon. It’s insane. There are even more coincidences and creepy connections, that I choose not to divulge here. Regardless, around here most of the public is pretty certain who killed KBM is dead and gone. There were rumours he also killed others that were found dead, but never really solved. It’s just too insane to believe. Just a small town for ya.
Annie, thanks for #47 and #48, thanks for connecting the dots as it sure is helpful. And yeah, I agree, scary as hell.
I don’t see how they ruled out that hunter’s car they found on the 4th or 5th day of searching. How do they know he didn’t go abduct her and take her to someone else. No ones mentioned that too much. If you abducted someone why bother coming back to plant a lunchbox unless your trying to frame someone. Why text her mom two weeks later unless your trying to clear someone suspected or get people out of an area. These are just questions I have in this case that I hope get answered. I do have many more questions in this case. Just my two cents

_______________________________________________________________
Jeff, I had forgotten about that detail. Did they use dogs to sniff the hunter’s car and found nothing so they cleared him? I don’t know that they have officially ruled anyone out, but I bet they have and are just not saying.
laurie
I put it up there to see if anyone else new anything about it other then what was put out to the media. Its kind of odd to go hunting in an area where a girl just went missing and not know anything about it. Unless this guy was from out of state but if he is from the area then how do u not know. I was just saying its possible he took her into the woods called someone else and had them come get her. Just my two cents.
“I don’t see how they ruled out that hunter’s car they found on the 4th or 5th day of searching”
The guy was actually sitting in a ground blind turkey hunting – dogs went straight to him. He had left a jacket & his own cell phone in his car & had been there about 30 minutes when the car was reported. He was not a local & had no idea what had happened with Holly. This happened on the 3rd day I think – If I remember correctly.
During the searches – hundreds of items were found & rumors flew constantly – but 99% of the stuff we found had nothing to do with Holly. Just think of all the stuff you’d find with 100 people walking arm width apart along a road pointing out anything that that was not produced by nature.
I know of one rumor of a dead body being found & there WAS a dead body – it was deer bones found around 2 pm. By dinner time my Sister had heard of the old dead body being found on Conrad Ridge road.
In conclusion: Rumors Stink!
Jeff, I agree about how could anyone from the area not know. Just such a bizarre case.
The “hunter guys” truck belongs to a man that lives in Sugar Tree. He is not a out of towner and he is WELL known to LE.
#44 – from what I’ve read, LB, BB and JD are all friends.
Blink – does LE know significantly more information than the public does at this point?
Yes
B
_______________________________________________________
Blink – in my question above, does your understanding of the word “significant” mean meaningful or substantial, or both? And given the time that has passed, do you still firmly believe the case will be solved?
candace
the hunter guys truck belong to a man in sugar tree. He is not a out of towner and his is well known to le.
Can you explain this a little more I am confused because Hopeful said the guy was from out of town.
B,
Is Olive Hill, TN on your radar here?

Bad Eggs and kin’s illegal enterprises. Tied to this case in your opinion?
I am familiar, but cannot say I can draw that line outside of the coverage I already had.
B
I think we’re on to something here – If LB, JD, and BB are all friends and 2 of the three are ex-boyfriends, then JD may have been a pursuer or perhaps a patsy to take or steal his grandma’s atv to help in the abduction.
Blink – given the information that you have knowledge of, do you still firmly believe the case will be solved?
Not without locating Holly at this point, but I would love to be wrong.

http://www.gather.com/viewArticle.action?articleId=281474979616246
This article came out today on Gather as being “factual” of the morning events the day Holly was taken. It said there was only 20 minutes of time elapsed between when Holly was taken and when the police were involved. So who ever took her must have gotten out of the area in 15-20 mins?? Does anyone know how long it would take an ATV to get from Holly’s home to the place where the dogs lost her scent by the road? So she would have had to have screamed at some point between her home and where the dogs lost her scent, if the neighbor heard a scream. They had to have either did something at that point to make her scream or they got her in a vehicle and got out of the area super quick. Or depending on whose property is next to the Bobo’s, she is on that property somewhere still?
Blink, in your opinion, do you think this article on Gather is correct as far as the events that took place the morning of her being taken?
1. How can an author title a piece like that when Mrs. Bobo never spoke to her nor does she source where she has spoken so people can see the reference for themselves.
2. The facts in that article are different than those I have, and there is a reason the Bobo family is limiting their remarks.
B
Blink what has changed that you no longer feel this case will be solved soon or without locating Holly?
The amount of time that has passed and the TBI refusal to use the media to progress this case.
B
Because Chelsea Hoffman the author of that article was using TOPIX of all places to gather information/facts. Gather is not a reliable news source to say the least, nor is Ms. Hoffman.
Blink – Based on the information and knowledge you have, do you believe LE is close to locating Holly?
No.
B
Blink – early on, you stated that it was LE’s job to manage the flow of information, and you continue to say that there is a reason the Bobo family is limiting their remarks. Are these statements based on what LE knows about the perp(s) believed to be involved?
It is based on advice they have received by LE yes.
B
Is the advice the family has received from LE based on protecting the integrity of the investigation or protecting the family? Or both?
Jack, I have answered all I can.
B
Well it was all good answers, Thanks Blink
So what happens now? Do we just sit back and wait until Holly is found by hunters in the fall/winter or maybe she’ll never be found and another murderer(s) goes free. How sad and what an injustice. I can hardly believe that we’re at an impasse. Pray for Holly’s family.
I saw a rumor a long time ago so I don’t know how truthful it is. The rumor was they found a shed on someones property with cleaning supplies and varies other stuff in it. If this rumor is true which I don’t know if it is or not how close is this shed to the neighbors house. Now if the rumor is true is it possible the scream the neighbor heard came from there. Did anyone else on here hear the rumor. Just my two cents
Are things still tense in the community?
Prayers and good vibes to Holly and all who love her.
Early on, you stated that LE and the family are “100% confident” they know who did this to Holly. Is that statement still accurate?
I saw a statement that said BB has left the area and went to New Orleans. It didn’t say whether he moved there or it’s a temporary thing.
At this point why is someone not saying we know who did it, now we just have to prove it. What can “we have a strong POI” do to hurt the investigation? I mean if it was someone local, especially some young boys as speculated do you really think they or their elders have the know how of some super criminal to pull this off without leaving “any” evidence? Do they really think the perp doesn’t know by now they don’t have enough to charge them or they would have aready. Its been 3 months for heavens sake. I’m gonna pull out the waders because this is getting deep.
OK… I’ve followed this case from the beginning and haven’t commented until now. If Blink’s comments/thoughts are accurate, then we must assume: 1) that LE and presumably the family are fairly confident that they know who is responsible for Holly’s disappearance, and 2) she is no longer alive.
Tell me then, why are “missing” decals being put on OTR trucks with the family’s support?
http://www.wreg.com/news/wreg-holly-bobo-poster,0,6562843.story
I was following the kenia monge case for a while and they have a poI named travis forbes. The reason I bring up this case is the poi was just arrested for attempted murder arson and other crimes. The point I am trying to make is people who do these things are most likely going to do them again. For anyone that wants to know the details on this case just look up the name Kenia monge and go to the storys about her. Just my two cents.
Yeah….that link about the decals leads you to believe that the family believes she’s still alive. The entire case is just totally confusing no matter how you slice it…..

———————————————————————
Here’s a guess. Even if the family is pretty certain that Holly is deceased, they have to hold out hope that she is not. Who would want to say she is not alive if there is a chance she is? And although I think it is unlikely that she is alive, none of us can say for sure because she has not been found. It’s kind of like saying, “We don’t know where she is (or how she is), so we don’t know where she isn’t.” So maybe they are just trying to do anything they can. I would be at wit’s end if I were in their shoes, doing anything I could, no matter how little sense it made to others.
I respect Blinks opinion but the family does NOT think Holly is dead. They believe she is alive. This is fact.
Any family of a missing loved one always holds out hope their alive regardless of what other people think. I am sure the bobo’s are no different in this case. Until they find her or her body a family has to do everything in their power to bring her home in either case. Just my two cents

Candace, how do you know this is fact? What makes the family believe this way? No disrespect. It’s just a powerful statement to make after so much time has passed.

I take it that the family is believing with all their hearts that she is alive. That doesn’t mean that she is.
Things are not as they appear. Its easy to look at something and believe what you see on the surface as what happened but the surface always has a bottom. I dont know how to prove that the family believes she is alive to you. I know that they absouletly do believe this and their only focus is to bring Holly home safe. They have always showed this in their statements also. Like I said we usually base our opinion on how we see things and how they appear. Alot of the time we are right and then there are those times we are caught off guard and ‘ didnt see it like that. ‘ I think Im safe to say this is one of those times.
I have never said that the family did not believe Holly was alive, btw, I would expect them too, that is common.
I can tell you as a point of fact if LE thought she was, they would be pursuing leads differently.
B
Blink – do you believe that LE and the family know who took Holly? If so, do you believe that is the reason for the refusal to involve the media?
Blink, can you tell us why LE believes that Holly is no longer alive? Is it because it it statistically more likely, or is there evidence indicating that she is dead?
Peace and love to her family and community.
B, are you aware that a N. Bobo has been charged with vandalism and harassment? Related? Also can you elaborate on your statement concerning LE pursuing leads differently if they thought she was alive? (#38′ http://blinkoncrime.com/2011/05/10/holly-bobo-missing-and-endangered-are-suspects-naming-themselves-odd-dodd/#comments)
They have been pursuing leads “differently” the whole time. Do people really think that the searchers were really “looking” for Holly? Do people think the search areas were random? Do people think that a family would sit back and remain silent if they didnt believe it was in the best interest of their daughter? Please believe this family is frustrated with the investigation. They are doing everything they can do bring Holly home. TBI is still pursuing this I know for a fact they were at someones house the other day. There is a reason that public attention has tried to be drawn AWAY from this case and that “things are not as they appear” and its not because they think Holly isnt alive.
Hi Guys, I’ve been lurking while and have commented only a couple of times. I’m just wondering about some things. BTW – Wow Candace, what you’ve said really sounds pretty hopeful. Is some of it just your opinion, general knowledge around town, etc.? It would be great if things don’t turn out so horrible for the Bobos.
Does anyone know if the Bobos still have police protection? Also it sure makes you wonder about the cell phone deal. Maybe someone was trying to tip LE off. The cell could’ve had fingerprints on it or was placed in an area that meant something special. Or someone could just be a sadistic psycho. I would think the blood in the carport was probably Holly’s. Stunned and scared she let herself be led into the woods. I just read some where that women sometimes think they will be able to reason with an abductor and be let go. That’s how they end up in someone’s car, etc.. Hmmm… Any opinions?
Candace
Its just sounds like the tbi has no clue where she is. I am sure the family hopes Holly is alive and their going to keep thinking that until she comes home. I still haven’t figured why they have no named a person of interest in this case.
Another thing I find odd is at the very start of this case Holly’s
cousin Whitney Duncan was on her twitter account daily about Holly. I find it interesting that she just all of a sudden just stopped talking about it so what does she know.
beca
Its possible and this is just a theory that this guy came up to confront Holly about something. The two begain arguing and he hits her in the face casuing her to bleed. The guy freaks out takes her into the woods and now the guy won’t let her go. Holly is probley afraid of the guy and won’t leave. This guy might be a loose cannon which would explain the silence.
Candace – please tell us all you can about how “things are not as they appear.” Do the family and LE know who is involved and that is the reason for trying to draw attention away from the case?
Three months, may as well be three years, by now.
LE has produce nothing, i mean, what they have shared with the public. There are other crimes, happeing now, and they have to move on, this is what i see, if something new comes in they will, check it out, but this case is cold.
I still come back to the loction, its just the perfect place for a snach, and grab, wait by the car, quick blow to the head, and a waiting car not far from the house. this perp, had it all pre-plan, and would have had the place pick out, for the sexual assault, murder and disposal of the body.
Sorry, i think she was dead by 6pm the very same day. Hope is her body is found in the fall, whet hunters go in to the woods.
Was the ATV that was reported missing the morning of Holly’s abduction ever found?
It is all neatly wrapped in a cold case file box on the shelf and LE is just sitting on donuts waiting for a body. They have a person of intrest/suspect but no dna and no witness to positive identify.If they bring the suspect in on charges now the DA is in fear they will lose the case. Simple as that.
OR, Le is lost in space.
I see lots of cases go cold and never arrest or prosicuted.
I don’t know how this could be a grab and go. I mean a grab and go is grabbing shoving her in a car and taking off. The person who abdcuted her took her into the woods and the lunch box was found miles away from her home. However it might have been planted or not planted. Not to mention they said she was led in the woods which dosen’t sound like grab and go. If this person went to all the trouble to get rid of the sim card in her phone is it possible she talked to the perp the night before or even a few hours before the crime happend. Someone new she leaves that early in the morning and only people in my mind that would know that are family or b/f’s. Hunting season gives any of her b/f’s perfect reason to come up by her house. The blood is a key piece of evidence its not going to be revealed whomever it is. The perp knows how it got there and holly knows how it got their. I wouldn’t rule it out the cops don’t know how it got there. just my two cents
snach and grab, is a lose term, by the way the crime was done, wait by the car, a blind side hit, hard enought to draw blood, and she is under his control, it was said by Clint, see was beening let away by the arm, at tops, it might have been only 10 mins, to take her from the house to a car/ATV, or what ever, just saying, it was pre-planed, and would have been done very quickly.
Here’s an idea. In Kyron’s case, his mother has taken to putting pressure on the stepmother with posters and protests in the stepmom’s neighborhood, as she is the unofficial person of interest.
Would it be a good idea to do this in Holly’s case? Actually go and raise a stink at the unofficial suspect’s home? Or is this just not even remotely a good idea, Blink?
