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.

It could be possible that the perp new clint was home and chose to take her off in the woods. Anything he did to her there at the house would have been heard and seen by clint. Just my two cents
I’ve posted before but don’t remember what name I used. Anyway, blink. Do you still believe that clint had nothing to do with hollow’s disappearance? Is it possible that clint had something to do with it and they know that hollie is deaf but if they turn clint it, then they have lost holly as well as clint? Just curious on how you and others feel about that?! Thanks!!
please check your auto correct, I am not sure what you are asking.
B
Is praying4hb saying holly bobo is deaf. Am I understanding this persons post right. Just my two cents
As you saw, I have no clue. But I can tell you she was not deaf.
There are some folks spreading rampant misinformation in this case all over the interweb, lol.
A well intentioned reminder to all: discriminate who and what you believe in any case of course, but recent information in this case I have seen is activity I have seen before, in a different case, when folks do not like where an investigation is headed.
I get especially concerned when I feel there is a concerted effort to convince me that someone is alive, when there is no evidence to back that up, and the reasons I am given do not even make sense to a layperson, let alone our resources who can dispel it in minutes.
I pray for this child, and her family. I pray for the assclowns that think they are smarter than others because that lesson is not going to be pretty, and y’all cannot undue this.
B
I know. Thank You.
B
I believe there were some key events that took place two to three days prior to her abduction that set everything in motion. I’m assuming (dangerous thing to do I realize) the authorities have probably already taken a look at her cell phone records?
Yes ma’am. Extensively.
B
Out of town former LEO finds body at a hotel, that would be my first head scratcher.
B
——————————————————————–
Yes, I agree. I thought that odd. They never said that this former LEO was from Texas Equusearch, but I have to wonder about that. They said he noticed a strong odor and knew what it was. Hmmmmm…..
It was NOT Katelyn Markham, btw.
Sammy says:
“I do not understand after all this time nothing is being said.
Unless TBI and LE know exactly who they are looking at and are just WAITING….To “UNEARTH” something!!! Clints words!”
To Sammy, It is my opinion that the least amount of information that is given freely to the public is the most help in catching who is responsible for Holly’s disappearance. It is an inherent nature of individuals to want to “want to know” about things especially those that hold near and dear to their heart. However, you have to take into consideration who all receives this information. Among all of the loving and concerned citizens out there that just want what is best for Holly, it only takes one wolf in sheep’s clothing to use that same info to assist the perpetrator in staying one step ahead of getting caught. I believe that sometimes no news really is good news. JMO
Sorry, I am not answering any private questions on this case for the duration.
B
Hey BLINK I have followed this case from the start every day logging on hopeing they found Holly and she is alive and fine some sicko had her pened up somewhere. Do you think we are any closer to busting this dirtbag and bringing Holly home then we were last month?
Blink
Thank you for your reply I just couldn’t understand what that person was trying to get across. Just my two cents.

____________________________________________________________________
I think perhaps praying4hb meant to say “dead” instead of deaf. I can not say for sure, but it makes more sense when I read it that way.
It seems that that investigation is progressing and that those who are involved are getting nervous. I agree with #8 above that no news is good news as the rumor mills on the internet are spitting out some pretty ridiculous theories as Blink mention in #4. May justice be served to those who think they can get away with this! Peace and Prayers to the Bobo family.
Sorry, stupid auto correct.. I’ve made changes……..

Honesty, if these “a$$clowns” get away with this I may lose all hope for our Criminal Justice system. These guys are in no way, shape or form intelligent enough to pull this off without any evidence to lead to them….there is something out there that will nail them. I’m betting one of their buddies or kin will squeal.
We need some info to work with Blinkers. Someone has more information out there.
If you know anything about Holly’s disappearance or have information regarding potential evidence please contact Blink privately. It’s not too late!
Why?
I don’t think Clint has anything to do with Holly’s disappearance and I don’t think he did something to her either, and if he did and the family knows and are protecting him why are they spending so much time distributing posters around the country and doing interviews instead of being quiet?
By the way Cindy I’m agree with you, look at Michelle Le’s case, police stayed quiet for a while and now they have enough evidence to arrest her supposed killer, I still have faith that one day justice will be served for Holly.

————————————————————–
I really cannot see this being the case at all. It would take some very disturbed individuals to not turn in their own son, knowing he was responsible for their daughter’s death. I DO NOT think for one minute that Clint was involved in Holly’s disappearance, but even if that were the case, Holly’s parents would do anything to find their daughter and bring justice to the guilty party or parties.
Testing
I’m not sure if the FBI is involved in this or not right now and I don’t know anything about the TBI. But I have been interviewed by the FBI on a case that was highy publicised and everyone is familiar with this case. I had a run in with a suspect about a month before an event took place and I was interviewed by the FBI about a month after it. The questions I thought they would ask were not at all the questions I received. I cannot even begin to tell you how detailed these questions were, down to “was his face off color when he said this certain word?”, “did he look you in the eye when this particular statement was made?” – just questions that I was super impressed with actually. These people know if you are lying in the first 10 mins of talking with them. It’s what they do and they do it everyday. I guess you could say they are like “Jack Burns” – Human lie detectors. So they knew before these perps (if they were interviewed) walked out the door if they were guilty or not. They will mess up or someone will have some epiphany of the realty of what happened and how it’s affected everyone in that community and especially that family. All it’s takes is one person to come forward and be the hero.
I just hope someone is with Holly’s mom when the truth actually comes out because that wouman is going to be destroyed. She will be in a place of devastation that no one on this earth would ever want to be in.
My experience with the f.b.i. is not quite the same and as so my opinion differs.
Blink – you cover so many of these missing persons cases so well – why no coverage of Lauren Spierer?
Bridget – your last statement suggests that you know the truth of what happened. To me, the words you used reflect some certainty. And I loved your reference to Jack Burns!
Every year in the U.S.A. approx 6000 killers get away with murder.
or by percentage about 38 percent of murders go unsolved.
It is my opinion after 6 years of internet research, that time is of the essance in murder cases and that LE nation wide needs qualified help. That all serious internet research forums should be semi private forums with limited anonymity by its members.
“Admin should know name address and phone numbers on all researchers and viewers”
This is the only way to gain serious respect from Law Enforcment.
We as a group of concerned citizens have been successful in various cases over the years bringing info to LE. In some cases actual searches have been performed based on research done by various forums.
@Jack
I got a request to review Lauren’s case. Unfortunately my synopsis was brief and easy and therefore I felt there was nothing my resources could offer the case.
The last person she was with knows what happened to her and where she is and there is little hope of solving her case without finding her remains. I believe it is very likely she is in the landfill and that is a momentous task.
Thanks, Blink. Sadly, I think you are probably correct. Perhaps she and Holly are meeting in heaven.

———————————————————————–
Edward, I must respectfully disagree with you on this. I think it should be up to each forum’s administrator as to what info you must give to post on a forum, not any government agency. There are many forums that require quite a bit of info to register and comment on and then there are forums that allow anonymous posts. We can each choose which ones we frequent. Let’s not forget that even Crimestoppers allows anonymous tips to be called in.
You know Blink, this case is really a puzzle. It doesn’t seem like it would be so hard to solve. Cases like this are always frustrating, but it does seem that there’s more information on Holly’s disappearance than what is present in a lot of cases. So what is the problem here? It’s so obvious that something is being covered, but the question is, by whom? Who involved has the power to keep this investigation so quiet? Or why is no one talking? And why are there so many conflicting stories, when something is released? Basically, nothing new is released, just a different version of what we’ve heard before.
My thoughts are with Holly’s family. I can’t even, nor do I ever want to imagine what it must be like for them. I really hope there’s some answers soon. Sadly, it would be a tremendous miracle if Holly was found alive at this point. Under the circumstances that have been released, statistically this isn’t likely. I’m one who always tries to hold onto hope of a happy ending, no matter how unlikely it is.
Blink, I know you may not be able to say, but if you can, where does the investigation stand? I’m sure it’s still being actively investigated??? Is it any closer than it was, say, the end of April?
Thanks if you can and I understand if you can’t.
She isnt dead lady.
Um, your going to have to post a complete sentence for me to respond please.
B
Um I didn’t ask for a response.
Lol. Well then, please enjoy your next endeavor where your name is on the door and you get to make the rules.
That said, I sincerely hope Holly is ok, but “be-ins” this is not my first rodeo, I base my opinion on my analysis, and that is telling me that the likelihood of Holly being alive is staggeringly slim.
I am aware of the vast amount of conspiracy thoughts about her being sold into the sex trade, or held against her will for some apparently,”logical to some” reason, among other equally ridiculous notions mostly being pandered all over the web.

#28 Brian – What makes you seem to think Holly is not dead? If she is still alive, how could it be noone has yet to find her?
Brian says:

She isnt dead lady.
——————————————————————
Thank you for sharing this great info, Brian. Where is she then? And what would she like us all to do for her at this time?
I’m not discounting the fact that she may be alive…!!
I think it is very possible..
Why aren’t there any searches, LE or organized locals..??
Facebook has died down from the locals… I would think of all people, they would be the most frustrated or in fear, but they are not..!!
The family continues to pass out fliers, but yet LE is not at all interested in giving any updates about Holly..??
I keep in mind that Holly is not a child, but a grown woman… and that LE is not obligated to inform the family of anything..!!
She could now be in a witness protection program for all we know.!! and maybe LE is not forthcoming with info. to the family is because they are not being truthful with them…!!!
I’m not counting nothing out at this point!!
and I have a strong feeling she is still with us.. even though its against the odds…!!!
mary d-
I admire your optimism, and I hope you are right that she is alive. What I can confirm, absolutely and without reservation is that Holly is not in any witness protection, she is not in any protective custody of any kind; she has been forcibly abducted through means that caused her injury at her residence.
B
#29 – reminds me of a line from any “Cagney” or “Bogart” movie of a certain era…..
If LE knew that Holly was safe, they do not have a responsibility to reveal her location and would not do so without her permission but I do believe they would have to alert those who might search on their own, i.e. the community, obviously her family, etc. There could be liability if someone were to be injured on a search and LE knew all along she was not really missing, I believe.
My feelings have been for some time that this case is stalled and has been since very early on. I think LE thought they had something to work with way back on Easter Sunday and when that did not pan out, they had nothing lined up to try next…I wish I had optimism regarding Holly’s safe return or even a solution to this case…
That is incorrect, there is an active investigation, state-funded public assets assigned to it, and there is a reward, in this case, a portion of which was posted at the request of the Governor.
There is no set of circumstances where LE is hiding a recovery, if one was made. They certainly have no obligation to disclose her whereabouts, but the fact that she has been located, absolutely.
We have to remember, a crime (s) was committed against this woman, a felony, and who thinks that the Bobo’s are going to run around raising money when they know she is alive and well.
They are just not that kind of people, and LE would not want any part of that, either.
I hope you don’t think I am picking on you, I am not, I agree with your final sentiment, I just really need to clarify that folks understand LE is not hiding her, or deceiving the public.
B
Blink,
I don’t know if you can answer this or not, but do you think the perp ever planned to leave the property with Holly that day?
Absolutely, it was his reason for being there.
B
Yeah, your the boss I get it no worries.
So does that makes it ok for you to post stuff as fact when you really don’t know to be an absolutely factually?
What’s the difference between you and that SAR dude? He does the same crap. Is it a power trip to have all your followers hanging on your words?
You say the cops arnt deceiving the public. Are you for real? The cops, the family and friends are all having to deceive the public.
Ain’t nothing really true out there but that she is missing.
What have I posted as a fact that is not one? Name it and bring your source.
Your new apparently, nobody here hangs on my word, especially if they disagree, they think for themselves, and they are great at it. Power trip? You have to be kidding me. An innocent 20 year old woman was assaulted at her home and abducted, and may be dead. Having power would mean that I might be able to produce some leads to find her. So far, I would say, despite best efforts, we are all pretty powerless.
B
Dear Blink,
I’ve recently thought from a different perspective to this case and I want to share it with you. My thoughts are about the Bobo family but I don’t want to add to their hard time a new burden by saying a wrong word so please read this carefully and if anything looks wrong or bad, simply omit it.
I am wondering about “Clint Bobo”. I am not saying that he has to do anything nasty to his sister or he wants intentionally to harm her, no. I am just wondering about his absence from school. I searched in UT Martin university webpage and have found a person named Clint Bobo there and he is tagged as senior. I’ve seen something about Clint not attending classes due to search for Holly. I am just wondering why? Do you think that maybe he has done something to someone in university and that person took revenge on Holly? Is it possible or have you checked such a probability?
Also, I found on that page about Natalie Bobo being a freshman on UT Martin with “Undeclared” study field. You’ve told something about her before, so do you think maybe someone from university wants to takes revenge on NB for something and so took Holly?
And at last, do you think because LE knows about the possibility of perp being from university, so they prevent Holly’s friend or her university to do something, at least an interview about her?
Thanks a lot Blink for your wonderful job. May the Lord takes care of you and your loved ones, Amen.
My point in my last post was that there was NO WAY Le would not disclose if Holly had been located. They would not say where she was but they would have to say she was found and accounted for. And remove her from FBI site…
Seriously? You say everything on here from you is fact? BS
You can’t name your sources so like I said before you expect people to believe you?
Gossip is gossip. You running a site and saying its fact still makes it gossip. Quick question so did her brother “not think there was anything normal about her going into the woods” ( your words) or did he not see anything until 40 minutes later?
Please. I asked you to tell me what I presented as a fact that was not, simple request.
I expect people to make up their own minds about what to believe. Do you think this is some sort of mind control, lol? Look into my eyes, you are getting sleepy..
You are the one that expected to come on here and have people believe “She’s not dead lady”. WTH?
You say your using my words, but you are going to need to bring the link, and then snip the quote in context, so I can FACTUALLY respond to you, if in fact your query is legit, as I suspect your just trolling.
B
Brian – your statements “She isn’t dead lady” and “The cops, the family and friends are all having to deceive the public” makes me think that you know something we don’t. What more can you tell us factually?
@ #37 – You are assuming the UT Martin – Parsons campus is a big university. It is not at all! It is literally one building. It is about the size of a community college where people/students live at home and drive to classes each day. It is simply an extension of UT Martin (which is not very big either).
Brian
I don’t understand why they would go to this length to decieve everyone. Are you trying to say there is a mass cover-up going on. Perhaps saying someone got in over their heads. Maybe you can tell the board what you know. Just my two cents.
#40 Brian – I suspect that you have more than a casual interest in this abduction. What’s your motivation – reward $ or do you have a “dog in this fight”?
# 41
Dear Sunnyside_Up,
I cannot get you from saying UT Martin – Parsons is a small college. I ask why Clint not goes to his classes anymore and if it can be related or not. Also, it is interesting to know that NB is on the same university.
And at last, why there is not any Holly Bobo in that university? Is searching her name in the university website banned? and why?
I had heard that Clint was not taking classes this semester to help look for Holly.
I personally don’t think it is odd that Natalie attends the same school. Many of the kids who graduate from Scotts Hill High School attend UTM or UTM-Parsons.
Your sarcasm is amusing at best. I don’t know is this a mind game? I think your readers understand my point. Sorry won’t go and spell it out for you and link all your statements. If someone comes on the site to call you out they are trolling? How about they jusy dont agree with the way you are representing your information as fact and contributing to the rumors by publically putting names out there. Do you think that helped? So I say she ain’t dead and I can’t prove it and I don’t care what people think. You say she is dead and you can’t prove it but you run a gossip site and you do want people to believe you and your crediibility. I am not in a position to have influence over people but publically you are in that position. Most of rumors in this case come from you and your bits and pieces that you put out and people take it and run. So are you powerless? I don’t think so. You have conntributed a lot.
@ Cindy Its don’t matter what I believe or whose side I am on.
@ Jack I can’t prove nothing.
@ Jeff A mole hill became a mountain.
@ Alex Your smart just twick it up a bit. It begins and ends with him.
Well then, I appreciate you clearing that up. You have no basis for “calling me out”, and you have no basis for your own opinion, of which, you will not share.
That sir, is a troll. I NEVER said she was dead, I said, when asked, it was my sad opinion she is, and that is my opinion.
One more thing, and I am not suggesting this is YOUR agenda, I would have no idea, you just showed up to make yak sounds, but I have seen in some cases, where people that DO NOT want others to believe someone is deceased for whatever reasons, hit the web and start that campaign in attempts to take heat off.
It is useless and silly, but I await the forthcoming Holly sightings at Walmart, two states over and whatnot.
You said “she ain’t dead lady”- so you have been asked repeatedly and respectfully- why should any of us believe you- and what is the merit of your conviction?
B
As usual, the more I read the more questions I have!
It appears that some folks like Brian and Gamer have some “inside knowledge” of what happened, but they can’t be precise or forthcoming about what they actually “know.” In addition, they can’t tell us WHY they can’t tell us what they know! What is it…fear? If so, fear of what or whom? Is everyone just plain scared to say anything that may shed some light on the case…..or as Blink said, are they just trolling?
At this point, it’s all so strange, it would not surprise me if she was alive. Maybe the statement “Things are not as they seem,” just alludes to the fact that reason and statistics point to her being dead, however in reality she is alive and well.
I just don’t know what it all means……
Well then, I appreciate you clearing that up. You have no basis for “calling me out”, and you have no basis for your own opinion, of which, you will not share. That sir, is a troll.

Let me get this straight real quick. I have no basis or foundation to question your statements or opinions? Says who? I stated my basis for calling you out. Most of YOUR information has not been publically released thus making it an opinion. MY problem is that you pass your opinion off as FACT on your site. I don’t need to prove it because its all over these pages for all too see.
I have no basis for my own opinion? How do you know? So out of all the missing people in the world I decide to pick Holly and decide to try to convince people that she is alive? For what reason? If your dead your dead. The part you don’t seem to understand is that I DONT care if you believe me. You want me to back up what I say but what since its your site and your the boss you dont have too? Sounds a bit unfair. If I could tell right now why I think what I do being here writing is the last thing I would be doing.
What exactly are “yak” sounds anyway?
BTW If that’s the definition of a troller then isn’t everyone a troller at one time?
@ Chris Hang in there buddy. That statement was a response to why her brother didn’t try and help. It was a live show and I dont think it was taped.
Sigh.
B
Blink, I do thank you for sharing your thoughts and opinions on Holly’s case. I’ve followed cases on BOC for two years now. I haven’t seen where you have posted anything as FACT that isn’t fact. I do appreciate that you introduce your thoughts and opinions as possiblities in cases. That is something that we all do, is have opinions or suggestions, in the absense of new facts. I think the majority of your readers are intelligent enough to know that.
That being said, I do not and have never thought that Holly is in a witness protection situation. The cover up I speak of, which is MOO only, is not among LE nor Holly’s family. My thoughts have more to do with the abductor and that person’s family or friends that may have enough influence/power to make some people feel threatened to reveal info they may have. I hope that makes sense to anyone reading.
I’ve felt that some type of threat came to either LE or the Bobos on Easter Sunday. That too is an opinion and just the way it appeared to me, personally.
Now, as to Holly being alive or deceased, I cling to the tiny iota of hope that she still may be alive, when in all likelihood, my common sense factor tells me it’s unlikely. That thought is due to following these missing person’s cases for several years and basing it on statistics and circumstances. In every case I’ve followed, I’ve held out hope of the victim being found alive, until the dreaded day, when the body is found. These, dear friends are heartbreaking facts.
Josie:
1. You are a valued advocate and contributor and I thank you.
2. I AGREE with you that within this community, there is more than one family that would breed concern, IF a member of that family was involved, that they are connected well enough it would warrant oversight outside of Decatur County LE, and apparently, we are not alone, as this case is “owned” by TBI, and was, very quickly. I cannot stress enough how small this town is and the generational intertwinings that go along with that.
3. Thank God there are those of you that have the belief systems you have, it is necessary, and I believe contributes to acceptance and healing when the news can be quite gruesome, eventually. I never believed Elizabeth Smart was deceased, and I recall being in my car on 287 heading back from the office sobbing that she had been found and yelling “I knew it” out my window in traffic.
I frequently “check myself” to see if my hours in this work is starting to jade me. As far as it relates to what I feel about a victims possible outcome, no. Wrt my feelings about LE bungling cases and what is becoming necessary to succeed in prosecution today, absolutely. The CSI effect is real and it needs to be addressed or we are going to have an overabundance of criminals running around.
B
I think the both of them probley live somewhere down in that area so thats how they get their info. So just like the rumors of her being dead, I am sure there are rumors of her being alive. I just don’t belive people would go to great lengths to cover this up if she was alive. What would be the point of covering it up is what I am asking. I also don’t think blink would post anyting on here if it was a rumor. I am sure she goes to great lengths to verify her info. I would like to know why Brian dosen’s think she is dead but so far he hasn’t told the board. just my two cents
