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.

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.
_____________________________________________________________________
Brian, I think you are sadly mistaken when you say, “I think most of your readers understand my point.” If anything, I am only interested to hear what you say because you seem very intent on trying to redirect our attention. None of us have claimed to know anything 100% except you. Therefore, as many readers have posted before me, you might have our interest, but only because you talk as if you know something that is inside information…..NOT because we respect your approach in adding to our dialogue. I dare you to find ONE thing Blink has stated as FACT that you can prove is a rumor…ONE.
The Jackson Sun seeks public comment on Holly Bobo disappearance
http://www.jacksonsun.com/article/20110920/NEWS01/110920015/The-Jackson-Sun-seeks-public-comment-Holly-Bobo-disappearance?odyssey=tab|topnews|text|FRONTPAGE
well that is interesting, a call for sources, lol.
At any rate, I am hopeful any efforts to progress Holly’s case are successful.
B
Brian, consider your mouth washed out with soap, I am not posting that, and also, stop the posing, I know who you are, seriously.
B
Sorry, when LE has made a arrest or a POI, I don’t have to have proff, she dead, and until i see something from LE………….. i think she was taken by a strange, who has been watching her for sometime, he knew the area, time, and family goings, the porpose was sexual, and MOREOVER, I think LE is waiting for a body, any clues sometimes can help at the place were the body is, but with so much time gone by, i think this will be no help, and there was alot of rain at the time, the body could have move anywere and he could have taken her far from the area.
going on 6 months is to much time, i see nothing strange in this case, what makes it strange is all the BS ppl take about, and there alot of that, until someone can show me FACTS, this is a stranger.
Brian, I can assure that most of the rumors have not come from Blink. Rumors are rampant in this case and coming from all directions.
Thank you, Blink. I agree with your reply. The time spent following and caring about missing persons cases can cause us to become jaded, if we don’t take the time to check ourselves and keep it intact. Especially, having seen the outcome of the majority of publicized cases. We already have an over-abundance of criminals running loose and it grows daily.
Brian and anyone else who is new to this forum-
This is BLINK’S forum. DUH. She can make any rules she wants and we can stay or go. No one is making us stay!!
Also, Brian, you are the one who said Holly is not dead. Many of us simply want to know why you think this is so. If it is just an opinion, fine. Believe me, every one of us hopes you are correct.
I happen to like this forum because it is calm. Yes, Blink pre-screens our posts. That is her right!! She keeps it clean. She is clear. I like it and so do others or we wouldn’t be here.
#7 LaurieO – Agree 100%
Absolutely LaurieO, 100% agreed. I’ve followed Blink’s site for two years. I appreciate so much what she does. It’s about the victim, no one else.
Hey Blink, It’s still me, just posting from a different area.
I saw some comments on topix from a guy on this site.
Sorry for trolling but I don’t read here.
Why did everyone jump this guys butt for him thinking Holly is alive?
Nobody has proof one way or another. I don’t get how some thinking she is alove is any different from some thinking she is deceased. We don’t have enough info to be convinced either way.
Something surely isn’t right with this situation that’s pretty clear.
I don’t see this site being any different from the others out there.
Concerning the interviews they have given I can see how some think she may be alive.
There is just something odd about the families actions. Its almost like the brother Clint is going to great lengths to seperate himself from the events of that morning. What’s the harm in saying the kidnapper had her by the arm? So far everyone has said he had her by the arm but her brother made a point to publically say he was not touchinh her at all. There is something not right with that. I don’t know if he is involved or not but it sure seems like he is involved. The whole family appears as if they are scared to say the wrong thing and just keep asking for those involved to let her come home.
I personally have a hard time believing there isn’t more to this then a local predator. West tn seems to have a corruption problem so I’m not ruling that out as to why the family has more or less took a more agressive approach. Isn’t it odd they would. Remain compliant for over 2 months and then come out saying TBI wasn’t sharing info with them but then say TBI is working as hard as they can but its not good enough? Just to strange for me. The trucks, fundraisers planned months in advance just doesn’t add up.
Just Wondering, welcome to BOC.
I would appreciate if you have a question, you take the time to read the thread, specifically, the questions your referring to, and the very specific answers. If you had, you would have a firm answer to your question.
I find it offensive after all this time with the facts available in this case, that you cannot research enough to know very specifically, why Clint is not involved, and not a suspect.
B
Just wondering
Nobody on this board is saying brain is wrong about her being alive. It seemed to me like he was stated a fact that she was alive. At least that is the way I took his post. Anyone is welcome to correct me if I am wrong. Everyone one on here wanted brain to post why he thought she was alive regardless if it was a theory or fact. We would like some background on why he thought this. I have posted theory after theory on here but I have put my reasons for thinking this or that. I always welcome someone elses point of view. I am also on this site because I don’t belive blink is going to put misleading stuff on her site. I have said it before and I do think blink goes to a great deal to verify her info. So blink keep up the good work. Just my two cents.
Honestly Jeff, If I posted what I get as “verified info” in this case, which has repeatedly turned out to be BS, you probably would think I was making it up. If I can’t vet it, it does not appear.
B
Blink
I wasn’t trying to offend you so I hope you didn’t take it that way. I just wanted people to understand your not going to post every stupid thing you get. Your going to go through some process to make sure its good to post. So I apologize if you think thats what I was trying to do. Just my two cents.
No sir, not at all, I was supporting your comment. You had a rough few posts in the beginning and you stuck it out and earned your chops.
B
Well I’m sorry if I offended anyone.
I feel everyone has a right to there opinion.
I have read quite a bit on this case actually and besides not thinking Clint was directly involved in harming her I have read nor heard anything to prove that Clint could have been indirectly involved therefore also a victim.
I will read over the site.
I am not much for reading blogs, no offense to you Blink or anyone else out there.
Until the information is confirmed by officials nothing should be stated as fact. I see dont see the logic in stating something is factual unless it can be proven. For most people this is just how it works. I don’t see we this offends people. I find it strange how people are so willing to believe heresay these days as fact. Blink you may be spot on I don’t know so please don’t take offense.
I’m trying to connect a few dots relative to her being alive or dead. Specifically, the fact that the searches were called off on Easter….and the fact the family continues to search, raise $$, and distribute posters as if she may be alive.
What is the purpose of raising $$ and distributing posters nation-wide, if you think she’s dead and laying in a field in Decatur Co. somewhere?
All I can surmise is that on Easter, the perp somehow contacted the family or LE and told them to back off or he would kill her. And that’s the last they’ve heard. So the searches were called off, and therefore the family still has some glimmer of hope.
I saw one of the posters on a car in Murfreesboro, TN yesterday…..maybe 100-150 miles from Decatur Co. It struck me as slightly odd considering there was never any evidence released that she ever left Decatur Co.
Those are just two pieces of the puzzle that look like they may fit together, but maybe they don’t……..maybe it’s just the family grasping at straws and nothing more.

Maybe, Chris, it’s because her family wants her to be alive! If this were your daughter, friend, neighbor, cousin, classmate, you would probably do anything you could to try to help find her.
It probably doesn’t matter to her family that, statistically speaking, she is probably not alive. Her body has not been found, so police cannot say for sure where she is or what condition she is in. So, you do everything you can think of to find her, even on the remote chance it will help find her. If it were my loved one, I couldn’t just do nothing.
I agree, Laurie. I guess I was just trying to look at it from the angle that at least some people do believe she is alive, and what Brian said may be true……although I do not agree with how he came on here and said it and questioned Blink.
“Things are not as they seem…” For some reason, that’s just stuck in my head on this one…..

Ditto here, Chris.
There is a post on another site that indicates that the next benefit has been cancelled, no reason given….interesting to say the least. Maybe some news will be coming.
Blink, do you have any input on why the upcoming birthday benefit was canceled? The updates and prayers site posted that it was requested that it be canceled? Very strange indeed.
Unfortunately not for public consumption.
B
I don’t understand a single thing about this case. Is really obvious that neither the family or LE want help from people anymore, I even read that Holly’s family only wants prayers,I mean prayers are good for faith but there’s so many other things that can be done to find Holly, it’s just ridiculous, particularly I’m done trying to understand, maybe one day we will find out what happened to Holly, maybe not.
blink i don’t know what to think of you, you say you vent, but your post like #19, kills me, i don’t know how you are able to have all this so called info on so many cases out there, and then to come back and say, NOT FOR PUBLIC CONSUMPTION, question why not, this implies you know, why but also, say, there’s someting fish e, what could be so bad not to post the reason, legal, what you know could blow this case, i think you play games, tell a little of this, hold a little of that, don’t get it??????????????????
I apologize if you do not understand this is an open criminal investigation, with a missing person, and the priority is Holly Bobo, and not a rumor mill dispenser. I never said anything of the sort of “something fish e”, and I would appreciate in the future if you would LINK your quotes, when they are actual quotes.
If you would like more information, and feel I am not providing enough, you are welcome to call TBI and see what they feel comfortable discussing publicly. SHeesh.

Michigan, Blink is a reporter. Because of this, she is sometimes privy to info we are not. If she told us everything she knew, not one LE office would ever share a thing with her again, thus ending her career. I didn’t know this when I first started coming here, but figured it out.
She also is not going to release anything that might compromise the investigation, even if she disagrees with LE on keeping quiet on certain info. I learned all this over time and reading here for the last several months.
Blink, PLEASE correct me if I am wrong on any of this!
Chris
I thought maybe the le found a crime scene on Easter Sunday. That would give you plenty reason to call of searches. If they did find a crime scene it might have led them in another direction. I don’t know how much later it was but they had about 30 or 40 le people searching up in another county. I also would think if the family was threatened by anyone that would be sorta of a giveway to maybe that person might have somthing to do with it. Just my two cents.
I agree with Tiffany in post #20…..in that it seems LE and the Bobo family are not asking for any direct help from the public….and really haven’t been since Easter Sunday.
I have a hard time believing it’s simply a “random sexual predator” case. It’s almost as if they want Holly back, but they don’t want the public to know any details of the “why”, the “how”, or the possible “who.” It seems as though there may be some cover-up from multiple angles at this point.
I don’t follow this kind of stuff much, and simply started reading about this because I live in Tennessee and have a 9 year old daughter….. but this is the most bizarre thing I think I’ve ever read about…….
I agree, Chris, it does seem like the Bobos want help, no questions asked and that if Holly suddenly reappears, we aren’t to wonder what happened or to expect to be told anything. But that could just due to how odd they all seem to be. Maybe they really don’t know anything, I don’t know.
Blink,
The silence from LE is deafening….certainly not the rumor mill trying to distract those of us following case. On that note, we need to keep in mind what is their agenda? My guess it is to distract LE and keep the heat off of those responsible. I hope the silence from LE means that LE is closing in on the perp(s)and not that this is a cold case. Pray for Holly and her family.
I think they are “searching” for any evidence that could of been overlooked.
They have asked for information from people and for people to help ” Bring Holly Home” everything. Is it fraud if that’s what they are asking? I just have one question after reading different things today on Holly. What if she was found with these 3 supposed guys in a cabin badly injured and unable to assistant authorities very well in what happened?
I asked this not knowing if its true or false but only because it would explain a lot.
If her memory was impaired in the slightest wouldn’t that make her testimony less credible?
I think it would be pretty crazy but not impossible.
If you think its insane then think about how insane it would be if they did say she was found and suspects were in custody only to release them later.
@OSU
Just an FYI to you and others following the case at other sites and topic. Sadly, and not just in this case, there are trolls purposefully posting misinformation, and in some cases outright lying about their relationship to folks in this case.
I would tell everyone never to give their email or Id to anyone they don’t know and common sense when evaluating anonymously posted info.

that’s high road…if you will make that edit for me please…duh
Someone is trying to get information also and is saying Karen knows what she is doing over on topix. Blink would you mind _putting TBI’s info up and remind people who to call with tips in case they are confused?? I have never seen something like this case!
One can call either:
TBI missing persons hotline at 1-800-TBI-FIND or the Decatur County Sheriff’s Office (731) 852-3714
There is a $75,000 reward.
I am familiar with the topix posts, and I would be very hesitant about anything said on the Bobo’s behalf that does not come directly out of their mouths.
B
I have two young adult daughter and one is an Register Nurse. I worry all the time when my doughters are out alone.
I’ve lived in Tennesse all my life and honestly I have never thought TBI had a very good track record when it comes to missing people.
If one of my daughters disappeared I would tell the public every detail I could in hopes someone some where noticed something. If it was someone watching her, where could she have first encountered them.
Someone had information about her lifestyle, was it at a doctors office, eye clinic, dentist appointment any place that would collect or have information regarding her schedule. If she was my daughter I would try to back track every day of her activities for at less several moths before she vanished.
What happened to the other 10,000 on the reward?
I thought it was 85,000?

You know, I don’t know if that was a reporting error or I missed an additional $10K.
anyone?
B
Pretty big reporting error.
I thought I read that there was 25,000 from the family, 50,000 from Governer, 5,000 from Sheriff’s association and 5,000 from a local business owner.
Did the family post money? I don’t remember that. I thought if anything they needed money to get along now, since they are not working.
http://www.examiner.com/missing-persons-in-national/holly-bobo-abduction-family-holds-press-conference-25-000-reward-video
This article says the original $25K was raised by the community on behalf of the family, if it matters…
This is the most recent article that I found regarding the reward in the amount of $80,000.00:

I understand that this is an ongoing investigation. But, there is quite a bit of speculation regarding vehicles seen in the area of the Bobo residence on the morning of April 13th. JMO, but it seems that there is a specific reference to a white pickup truck. But, it seems that there are plenty of people in the area who own a white pickup truck. Is this a significant piece to the puzzle?
Question: The BoBo sister is in fact a model ?
Edward, Holly does not have a sister.
B
Thanks Blink.. Is there another BoBo who is a model and related to this case in any way ?
She has a cousin Natalie who has purchased photo shoots for her “business”, but I would most definitely not call her a model. It is my opinion that Ms. Natalie’s lifestyle may be a factor in this case, as much as everyone would like everyone to believe it is “overstated”.
B
A world full of missing people. A particular web site for models has a “coincidence”
Could Holly have possibly been a victim by mistake ?
Wow. Great point Edward…….never thought about this case from that angle.
2 women are missing which had photo shoots posted on that web site.
they are from different places and circumstances. One of the 2 has an arrest and suspect in jail in Aruba and a motivator.
Add Natalie and her photo shoot.. consider her cousin Holly is now missing.
The common denominator is the web site. The web site has nothing to do with this. What is most likely is that males with other agenda are using that web site to make contact with the models and to pick victims from those contacts.
Holly and the others could be victims of murder or human trafficking. Sold to a male or group in another nation ? Far reaching I know, but there is no body in 3 open missing persons cases ..
So all things considered..
Critical thinking in place.
Do you have those links, Edward? Tia.

http://ModelMayhem.com is the web site I refer too.

and although not missing is Natalie Bobo, apparently posted on this web site also.
http://www.chelseahoffman.com/
http://www.facebook.com/C.K.Hoffman
Concerning Holly BoBo ::Natalie Bobo is the cousin of Holly Bobo, paternally. Apparently they’re quite close and live in the same county. She’s spoken with the media before about her cousin’s disappearance, but little has been discussed about her in the media spotlight like has been done with Clint, Karen and Dana Bobo.
What is available publicly online about Natalie is that she is an aspiring model, like Robyn Gardner in this story.
It is also rumored that she is an exotic dancer in a strip club, but this hasn’t been confirmed.
The world of amateur modeling is dangerous, especially when you dabble in meeting people online through social networks, forums and chat rooms. The young woman’s public Myspace profile shows that she was in the process of meeting with a man for a “photo shoot.” The man’s name is Steve Warner of SW Photography. His Model Mayhem page can be seen here. Taking a look at his portfolio, it is plain to see what type of photography he prefers. Young, pretty women, nude or posed provocatively. Upon searching a little further, Natalie has another public profile focused on modeling. However, her public gallery of images are far tamer than what Steve Warner displays on his photography portfolio.
Natalie Bobo was arrested sometime recently for harassment and vandalism.
This is in no way judging her lifestyle, but in a small area known for its drug crimes and human trafficking issues, one would think that the world of adult modeling and exotic dancing in that region leaves you open to risks. From the looks of her arrest, she evidently isn’t always walking on the straight and narrow.

Sunnyside_up,
I cannot post that without putting out some inquiries. I have, will advise.
B
Thanks Blink!
Is that the model mayhem site that was mentioned somewhere several months ago? I saw the link and followed it at that time and it was questionable in my mind just how much modeling skill one needed to work with this “agency”.
Dear Blink,
I’ve just found a weblog with some kind of summarizing about Holly’s case that mentioned many names in here: (redacted)
Please include us with your opinions about that, Blink. I consider you as a person without lying in this case so I wait to see your comments.
Hope you’d be all right.
Nope, not vetted, not posting, that individual apparently does not understand the TOS or the liabilities with such a post, no way.
B
#43 Edward, are you suggesting that there is a serial abductor similiar to some of the murders that occurred similiar to the website Craigs List? Do you think Natalie was the intended target and there was a mixup or was Holly the price to be paid for an unpaid debt? Or does this particular website that you mention just attract seedy characters? JMO, but your line of thought perplexes me as I don’t see this as a stranger abduction. I strongly believe that the abduction had a connection to Holly. Again, My Opinion Only.
Thanks Blink. I mean from your saying that the person who has written the article really has some information and I cannot feel right about having so much information by just “doing a homework” or interviewing local people.
Do you think that releasing this info is on purpose for jeopardizing the case or it is because the LE comes near the perp and he feels danger so he wants to take down as many as possible with himself?
Thanks for your kind efforts for Holly.
No speculation of people’s motives by me, no idea.
B
