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.

which means if their linked to the holly bobo case they can’t say the atv was stolen because their still in his possesion on the 17th conflicting stories
Are the references to the “animal killer” for real?? Am I wrong or is this a rumor that has evolved out of a JOKE picture of a teenager and a horse posted on one of these kid’s facebooks. If so, it’s just evidence of how rumors can take on a life of their own and spin totally out of control.
@HereNThere you really seem to have no point posting here other than to try and provoke Blink and others who have been following this disappearance. I do not understand the troll mentality, but it takes the focus off of Holly. Information presented here is intended to cover many angles and hopefully lead to some solid conclusions. Nobody claims to have all the answers. Get over yourself.
I like to be fair to dissenting opinions, and respectfully stated they are welcome.
Trolls however, are not, and this is not topix, your right TR, is is solely to take the focus from progressing this case.
Not gonna happen. We have a track record here, and this child and her family deserves to come home.

@Jeff, it could be that some of the ponds are rather shallow and he could simply wade into the water a ways? I don’t know the landscape, but it seems that two young women have turned up in Tennessee ponds in the past month.

“Blink needs to remove that entire section of the blog”
I can tell you right now that will not happen and by the way it is
daydreamer not day dreamer.
I am guessing that JD may be defending himself for 1 of 2 reasons-first, remember Terri Horman? People got all over her for never saying that she had nothing to do with Kyron’s disappearance. So maybe JD thinks he needs to make it clear that he was not involved (not that I am saying that is the case).
The other possible reason is that he didn’t personally take Holly, but knows the who and why of who did do it. so he could say he didn’t do it if he indeed didn’t but still has the knowledge and could be called in as a witness.
Also, he may never had heard of someone being schizophrenic because he’s never been officially diagnosed!
God, please grant this family and town peace!
Holly Bobo’s family may not have the power that some have,but they
have the love and faith of their community.I firmly believe this will not go away until justice is served.Just knowing these perps live around
them is enough.One crime will lead to others and that has been written.
My personal fave is “she is wrong more than she is right”- what? You ever notice not one example? Not one.
Sandy is the wrong name. You are wrong as you say you verified it..so sigh some more
Her name is not wrong, it is what someone else apparently calls her and your kidding me with your nonsense, right?
http://www.hudl.com/athlete/219558/cheerleader-coach-sandra-dodd
You do realize Sandy is for Sandra, right?
It never ceases to amaze me how family members end up making it worse for their own family by trying to defend indefensible behavior.

I’ve only read a topix forum one other time and that was in regards to a mother that killed her children then herself here last year. It seems that particular forum, regardless the geographical area, seems to draw a huge amount of people that just want to rant and rave. Wait…before you say it, I know I’ve ranted a few times myself here at BOC, but the rants on topix are mean spirited and intended to hurt.
If this was indeed John Dodd posting on those boards he made a very bad move and he couldn’t dig himself out of that hole now if he had a bobcat to help him.
As for the Blink remarks over there, I honestly think they have you confused with SoGaGal about the Kyron case, but that’s MOO.
Hopefully this will be solved soon. (Note to Topix trolls…I said HOPEFULLY)
OT..oh no ,not again..looks so much like Holly

I believe it was made clear that is a victim’s advocate community.
It may work for y’all in your offline life, but here, bullies are nothing more than mosquitos that buzz in your ear at dark. Annoying but non threatening. Names mean nothing. Everyone is equal and the truth speaks for itself. Unfamiliar territory to some, it seems.
Not that Blink needs rescuing. B’s middle name is Jersey…and for the love of justice, nit picking and the intense need to misconstrue, twist and spin details is not going to deter anyone here from losing focus. Holly is the victim.
Please put all energy into finding Holly because it’s the right thing to do!
Although JD sets the hinky-meter off the scale, I doubt he is involved.
There is little evidence of his involvement (although there is little evidence at all available to the general public.
He said he didn’t “know” the Bobo family. “Know” is a vague word, there are many people I “know of” that I don’t “know”; maybe this is just a southern distinction.
Grandpa is alleged to have moved a mattress before the police came to search his land. Maybe Grandpa was suspicious, but that doesn’t prove anything actually happened with Holly on the mattress.
The wheels were for sale before and after the stolen ATV incident and Holly’s disappearance. Either the wheels had already been removed, or he was selling ATV wheels reported stolen. Either way, it was be easy for LE to verify.
The main things we need to know are motive and opportunity.
What would be his motive. If there was an issue between JD and HB, locals would know, and LE would know by now. If he were a serial adbuctor, why suddenly strike so close to home?
Opportunity: The ATV was reported stolen, and he says he was staying with a buddy from the rescue squad. I’m sure LE has talked to his buddy and verified (or attempted to verify) his alibi.
We can’t accuse him on the basis of being a “narcissistic sociopath”. First, a diagnosis like this can not be made based on a few posts on the internet. Second, even narcissistic sociopaths have motives.
My gut feeeling is that this is just a guy who always likes to be the center of attention.
I may be wrong, but I trust LE to adequately investigate him.
first thing they tell u about people who murder people is they might have killed or tourture animals just a sign not true in all cases but most second is most are full of themselfs and a little conceded and think their smarter then le they also more then to likely have some kind of criminal history dating back to their childhood or they witness a crime domestic violence etc u get the pitcure le only needs one clue to link a suspect to a crime a criminal needs to cover all his tracks to not be linked to the crime the sad thing is the guy is trying to make it look like blink is out to get him but blink issn’t blink is just reported what they know i highley doubt blink would post things that are untrue blink is m ore worried about holly bobo to come home then running some kid into the ground with untrue facts truth is the things u do and the way u act after a crime is more telling then when u commit it
GeorgiaDad: Methinks Master Dodd may have been a helper to someone who had a ‘motive’. MOO
Prayers for Holly and her community.
further more le is not going to collect dna from someone if they don’t think their involved my question is who is tipping of the le to this persons possible involment are they going to get a plea deal soon pressure pressure pressure
Blink,
So the ATV was stolen from the Dodds. Was it Jons?
Was he so mad he took holly? I’m trying to see motive here.
Do you think Clint stole it as I read on topix?
Where is clint did he leave the state?
Oh one more question, I’m guessing the family knows what happened?
Is it something involved in their family they don’t want comin out in the news is why they have not been pleading?
Blink,
Jon Dodd grew up with Bobos right they were neighbors!
He knew them well?
Wow Blink! I do not envy you after reading the last day and a half back. Such mean spiritedness I’ve never seen here before. Y’all play nice now. Not trying to be nasty myself but for those that are new you don’t want to even try to verbally spar with our B! You won’t win! Beside that she just may put you in the back seat and even then she’s got a long reach!
Blink,
So does the Dodds have high connections in FBI as Jon Dodd brags about?
As he has admitted he has/is being investigated by the FBI, I would say yes.
I do not know that I would refer to an agent as a “connection” in that regard, however.
B
you know this guy is big on his g/f the setting off factor could be has simple has hollly calling is g/f a name at a party anything sets off crazy people why would u get rid of the mattress no need if u don’t know the who and the why the other thing why would le have to get a search warrent to go into the cabin now i dont know if the guy did it but he could be covering up for someone
HOLY COW! Great job Blink. And hats off to you for your patience with the trolls.
@ Candy – “His affect just seems…off. Really off. “Oh so awesome”? “Oh so tickled”? How many 19 year old guys talk like that? It’s as if under stress his oddly fragmented personality is starting to peep out from behind the facade”
I totally agree.
And I also think this child needs to learn how to complete a full sentence. Spelling, grammar, etc. Good Grief!
Prayers to Holly, her family and friends.
You do realize Sandy is for Sandra, right?
You do realize that she is named Sandra, not Sandy don’t you Blank! If they/you can’t get the name correct, what else did they get wrong?
lol, that was your big play- I would suggest to you that perhaps your the one that does not know this family well enough to know what she is called and by whom.
But I can tell you that S A N D R A called in the stolen ATV the morning Holly was abducted.
B
You are welcome to respond to posts, not posters, respectfully, other than that, I suggest you move on.
B
Morning folks.
Another day has started without Holly, can you imagine such a disaster for your family? well, this disaster is happening for Bobos right now! Now, what we have here? A possible suspicious, that Jon Dodd, so why the police does not do anything? Are they waiting for Holly to be passed away so they can clear that powerful kid from accusation?
How can possibly such a thing be happened in US? It is unbelievable for me.
Also, do you think there is any hope left for Holly? If so, then please everyone to pray for Holly to be strong and her to be back home!
is he trying to say is fbi connection is going to cover up for him my regards to this supposed atv being stolen is it possible that a person of interest took it and stash it to use later in a crime that was committed perhaps this stolen atv is in another state at a relatives house right now i wonder if anyone took a trip in this persons of intrest family in the last 4 weeks
i understand why blink said this is a powderkeg this family must have been pissing people off for a long long time someone better do somthing because its reaching a boiling point
I don’t know whether to laugh or puke…..
JD has changed his FB profile pic to one of himself posing with his shirt off! Honestly, being in his position I think I would be a little more concerned with my current state of affairs….but then again, I’m not a sociopath.
GeorgiaDad: I apologize if my opinion of J.D.
was taken by you as a diagnosis….as I am
In no way qualified to officially diagnose
anyone. However, I did state that as my
opinion and I am entitled to have one. Just
as you are. Neither mine nor yours is stated
as fact. I base my opinion more so, or at
least as much, on the fact that he chose to
even put himself in the conversation.
As for not having a motive….I don’t want the
statement to be considered a direct quote
from Blink because I am writing this from
my cell phone and it is quite difficult to
navigate. But she said something along the
lines of whoever did this knows their motive.
Just because we as readers and followers
of this tragedy do not know what it is. That
does not mean that it does not exsist.
I am also of the opinion that he is not as
Intelligent or as well connected as he
would like to picture himself. I feel a lot of
the things that he has gotten away with have
some luck involved.
Thanks again Blink. You rock!!!
@ Amazed…
You do realize her name is B L I N K not B L A N K don’t you?
Lol, thank you, but please don’t feed the trolls or get them wet.
B
I am still undecided about JD, although as I said earlier his affect is really off in his later posts as the stress on him mounted. And the Brandon/Chasity grey imposter posts are interesting. He is certainly investing a lot of time defending himself…
My question is this, Blink. You alluded to schizophrenia in an earlier post. But don’t schizophrenics typically commit random, unplanned acts of violence? I am thinking of cases like the schizo in NY who pushed a woman in front of a subway train, or the female schizo in CA who beat a random woman to death on a crowded street. Would a schizophrenic methodically plan and execute a crime like Holly’s abduction? And be able to get away with it for this long? Thanks for your insight!
That ‘splanation is beyond my pay grade Candy, for specific purposes, I will say that what you are referring to in general is someone diagnosed with the condition, and is off their medications.
B
Rumor has it Jon had the ATV ..
rumor caution.
B
Hey Blink,
Is that Jons dad posting
I do not “out” people on here. I will say that I believe Mr. Dodd is getting input for his posts.
B
Jeff, I am saying this in the kindest way I can. If possible, could you try to use periods at the ends of your sentences? In no way do I think I am the “grammer police”. I just want you to know I enjoy reading what you have to say, it is just that sometimes my brain starts to hurt because I start reading too fast without punctuation lol. Sorry if I offended anyone, it was not my intention.
Obviously those Dodds do not feel compelled to listen to their O so awesome attorney’s advice. just sayin’
For Blink – I thought about “feeding the trolls” before I posted. Yet, it was just too good to pass up:) Thanks for posting it. I will revert back to being “professional” now.
B
Nice job Blink at keeping your finger on the pulse of the investigation and bringing relevant information forward.
I am leaning in the direction that this fella seems to be a bit quirky, but I feel the person(s) responsible for Holly’s disappearance had a certain degree of sophistication to their methods. I don’t feel this person was some “run of the mill” novice, in fact, making a person disappear entirely in such a close-knit community would appear to prove somewhat intricate IMO. Planning and forethought would have been necessary to adequately pull off such an act in the broad of day.
Secondly, it would appear, based on the lack of progression in locating Holly, that investigative leads have been sparring. Perhaps another indication that we may not necessarily be dealing with “Joe Schmoe”, but someone who knew, perhaps based on prior experience, what they were doing…
Cat- I am definitely picking up what your putting down. That said, I am not sure hypothetically that I buy there is only one suspect, as I agree there is a conflict in profile. Almost like a mentor, if you will.
B
@Cnog…I’m guessing “Blank” is Blink w/ a southern accent.
Blink.
Great work you’re doing on behalf of Holly and her family.
Hate what has happened, but watching you reel in the fish is amazing.
Hope that comes out sounding right – don’t mean to be insensitive to the Bobo family and the hell they are living in any way.
I’d love to be a fly on the wall in the bunker room at times like this …
Thanks Ms B.
May God comfort and bring peace to the Bobo family.
Regarding the ATV – if someone already posted this question and it’s been answered, my apologies. Has there been any indication of “where” on the Dodd’s property the ATV was? If it was outside (and not in a locked garage/shed), did it have the keys in it or did the theft have to know where the keys were to steal it? For those mechanics out there, can you hot-wire an ATV?
chefjagcc
i am not offended i relize this after i type my thoughts. i got so much going on in my head after i read the post from blink and other posters. Its hard for me to understand why anyone would blame blink for whatever it is their blaming blink of. I know what a moderater is and what they do. Blink interest in this case are strictly bringing holly home. I am glad blink posted some of the facts about the stolen atv clears a little of the facts up. I would like to know what time the atv was reported stolen. Thats a fact you can’t lie about if there was a police report made. I think it getting reported stolen was a screw up in this persons albi or coverup. I think this guy took the atv stashed it came back later in the night and used it. The atv had to be stolen the day before or somtime in the morning. The perp comes back with the atv mom sees it tells perp i reported that stolen such and such day. The perp is mad so now they have to get rid of evidence so they put the same had up from 4/3 they cant take a pic of the atv now it might show evidence in the new pic. they can’t go wash it someone would see it especially if it was the one reported stolen So the only thing they can do is put the same ad up from 4/3 u cant do it after u got to wait. Then if all else you can’t get rid of it your takin it out of state to a relatives possible for them to sale
Thanks Blink.. sorry, not trying to post or make a rumor. I just seriously wanted to know why people are posting it.
Won’t do it again.:)
This being said i think this was a group thing. Each person involved gave each other an albi. There probley was one adult who new what was going on and decided to cover up the facts instead of reported them. This in my mind would only happen if the person didn’t want their famyily embrassed or a possible told u so. By told you so, I mean that kid is going to murder someone some day something like that. I have only come up with two motives that i could think of one is robbery itS only being reported the perps head was covered with a hat not the face. Neighbors know when other neighbors aren’t home. i live in ohio i have neighbors i know when their not going to be home and when their coming home i am sure the perps did to they may have got there to early she was a witness they took her. Second motive may have been a ransom, now people would say wouldn’t they let her go. They wouldn’t let her go if she new who it was or she saw their faces who knows if they blindfolded her. Plus not to mention this case got big in two days and out of control this would cause panic and in a panic people do dumb things

Hey Blink,
Is that Jons dad posting
Maybe Jon is using Harry Potter’s Spell Checking Quill? Otherwise, he is definitely getting some help.
____________________________________________
Mentor? As in someone who has done this before or as in someone who is offering advice? I know you can’t answer, B, but I have to put this out there anyway. Either way– Ick!
I do have a theory on the cell phone that was rumored to be found because holly got a call telling her where it was. I don’t think she was told. My theory is the perp was trying to dispose of it and accidently called holly’s mom. Its possible they were trying to take the sim card out and hit a button that dialed holly’s mom. My mom is 73 she is always hitting the wrong buttons on her phone and calling me and people in my family. I won’t write what i am thinking but if u understand the above ur understand what i am implying.
Blink- sadly you always seem to be public enemy #1-
How does any of this help Holly Bobbo and her family?
If I were the supporters of this young man- instead of attacking others and voicing hateful opinions over the web- I would advise this kid to get off the internet and stop feeding into the speculation.
If he has a lawyer, o awesome one, the lawyer better get to advising him to stop speaking and remain silent- He owes no one any explanations, and he is doing himself more harm than good and IMO is coming off as spoiled & cocky.
BTW Blink, you know I love you, and respect your work, but it is always alarming to see my name in print- usually referenced in some bogus rant opposing your advocacy- LOL
I am not that poster- I seldom follow Holly’s threads, although I am praying for her and all involved- her family and the community.
PS My family & friends have always told me I am NOT odd- just one of a kind.
AJMO Peace
Lol, sorry mon frier- you know how it goes. Common bully tactic, lol.
Everyone knows in 3 seconds it is not you.
You are one of a kind! AN awesome kind!
B
Blink,
Are you and your team on THIS case in the same manner you were on the cases in your post to Dodd?
I really don’t know how to answer that Becca.
B
Still a nice day for an arrest…
The prosicuter must be trying to make sure they have an air tight case. Other then that if they have it down they need to be this character off the street.. They need to have some confidence. The body will show up.
jmho
Understood, what are you referring to specifically? Just mark private again.
B
Michelle, I hope you will understand that I cannot post that and answer it. I appreciate the sentiment, though
