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.

cindy.. I am only posting research information that I think May be relative to this case.
The web site posts Model profiles.. It lines up models and photographers. The site has a coincedence, there is 2 missing models, one of which is Robyn Gardner missing on Aruba and that is a person I have done some research on. Then it comes to my attention that a “bobo” is a model listed at that same site. Maybe you were already aware of that?
Could there be a WACO in the group of photographers ?? Yes.
Is there a WACO in the group ? I have no idea.
In Robyns case, I will say yes there is a WACO and he did present himself to many as a Photographer and Producer. This is how Robyn befriends him and eventually ends up on the island of Aruba. She is now missing from that island. Gary is the suspect in a Aruba jail.
There are other cases on Aruba that may suggest a possible human tyrafficking ring operates out of there.. Max D., Amy B. Natalee H. all missing and in the case of Amy B, even the F.B.I. thinks she is alive and held in conditions of forced servitude.. She has been witnessed as alive.
How does this play into the missing Holly Bobo ?..It could… So keep this game piece in mind and see if it fits into the puzzle some place.
That is all I know.
edward
Correct me if I am wrong but didn’t the perp take a big life insurance policy out on the person that went missing. I thought that is what I heard on cnn Nancy grace. I do think some wack job probley commited the crime. However that being said I believe it might be an indivudal or indivudals that are associated with her cousin. I am sure their probley the bad element of town. Perhaps this is why every one is so quiet. I also I am sure if their somekind of bad element they probley have some high priced lawyer. Just my two cents
Edward
The first part is in regards to robyn gardner. The rest is in regards to holly bobo. Sorry about that I guess I should have been a little more clear (lol)
Hi Jeff
Concerning Robyn G. on Aruba.. Gary did purchase life insurance and it does appear to be a motivator. Law enforcment has not found Robyn or anything that belongs to her as of this time. Cadavar dogs were out today and came up empty.
Concerning Holly
I think Holly was walked away by somebody with a plan.
It was by design.
#2. Edward, I greatly appreciate and respect your posts and learn from what you and others have presented on this site. I am familiar with the Robyn Gardner case and do understand that the suspect took out a large life insurace policy on her. I’d agree that he falls into the WACO category, pretty scarey indeed. Agreed, that there are rumors of human trafficking in Aruba as the Natalie H. case brought that to light, a definite human tragedy. And Yes, I’m aware of Holly’s cousin, Natalie Bobo’s pictures and lifestyle. I have suspicions regarding her involvement and find it frightening as to how this may have evolved into Holly’s abduction.
This site is the leading research site for the missing person “Holly Bobo”
Keep up the good work.
Thank You Edward.
For those of you who do not know Edward from SM, he is a tireless advocate and overall mp officionado.
He works on many cases, but specifically Amber Dubois, who as you know, was ultimately recovered.
THANK YOU for your continued advocacy.

The family needs to hire “the A team” PI’s that were on dateline nbc tonight. Somebody needs to stir the case and that little community up. It is unacceptable that the le has nothing at this point, its been 6mths, what the hell ;somebody needs to get their butt in gear and find Holly. Her family deserves some peace and the only way to get that is to pick up the ball that the TBI has dropped and find her
Did we ever figure out the reward?
I am so lost with this case. Does anyone else notice the lack of a specific emotionally response in this case? I don’t want to offend anyone if I am off. I find myself more concerned with what is not being said and done here rather then what is being done. Possibly because the way the family is coming across appears to be inconsistent with how investigators are handling the case.
I believe no one would lose hope in a situation like this without proof but in my opinion based on statements and actions there is more then just hope here.

Sorry I just saw your answer to my above question.
I will put private on it.
Yes, just mark private in first line, good idea for all caps and written a few times:

I think that Holly knew who the man in camo was, in fact I think he offered her a ride to school and that’s why she took her lunch bag and books with her, of course this theory doesn’t explain the blood in the garage, unless Holly’s nose bled at some point, and maybe that’s why Clint saw them kneeling down in the garage??? I dunno. Perhaps what Clint witnessed wasn’t the abduction, maybe when Holly and the perp reached his car, he threatened her and that’s why she screamed??? I’m thinking that maybe Clint didn’t hear anything because he had headphones on. Also could Holly’s mother have seen the perpetrator’s face??? maybe when she was driving home she crossed with the perp’s car??? maybe she didn’t saw Holly because she was on the trunk or lying in the back seat. I know this sounds crazy but I’m just trying to put the pieces together in the most logical way to me. JMHO
I assume you have seen this article from the Jackson Sun? To me, it actually creates more questions than answers. Lots of things in the article do not make sense to me. There will be a follow up in Thursday’s edition.

I saw this article this a.m., but do not have the entire article yet.
Why only put this article in the print edition? Do they only want locals to read it? What if someone out of the area knows something? You would think they would want as many readers as possible…
I know, talk about ridiculous, they need to leap into the 21st century and realize the circulations are a dying breed and embrace the web.

The more I read about this case, the more I get confused. Seems everything they print or say just makes me want to ask more questions. I suppose thats human nature though. Just my two cents
I’ve read the article and it says a lot but clears up very little for me…
Ms. Blink and all, a regular poster at SM (Tamikosmom) has posted the full article from the Jackson Sun with a very detailed recap of the Bobo family’s recollections from that fateful day (says she pulled it from topix forum):
http://scaredmonkeys.net/index.php?topic=9825.200
Not sure if I’m allowed to copy and post the whole article here at BOC, but above is the link to the postings, about halfway down the page, or go to the last Holly Bobo #4 page on SM to read (#11). Just wanted y’all to be aware of this info.
Why wait til now to release all this info?!
At Scared Monkeys you can read the text of the entire Jackson Sun article. Now at least there is a timeline that makes more sense and some confusion ois cleared up. Why is this the first time we are seeing this level of detail?
Yep…more questions than answers. I’ll go first:
The article says the police arrived at 8:05…..ten minutes after Clint last saw his sister. The test she was to take was scheduled for 8:00.
I thought original accounts stated most of this took place around 7:30. Also, if she was last seen at 7:55, she was cutting it awfully close to being late for her test….even though she had been studying for several hours.
And finally, where is TBI in all of this? Do they have the ability to control what is released thru the media?
TBI has no authority to control the press outside of asking nicely if they were so inclined, no.
This account is on par with everything I have ever heard from the “inside”, outside of aholes posing as family or extended family trying to eff people into believing something else.
I applaud this work, and I hope it is the start of the Bobo’s taking a firm stand in their associations and what information is reported on their behalf.
Lastly, for those critical of Clint, I am hopeful you have enough information at this point to apologize.
B
Wow. After reading the entire article, it makes you wonder why that level of detail wasn’t released 6 months ago. If it’s all true, it clears up some of the unanswered questions concerning the neighbor, boyfriend, and brother.
I hope someone who is more tech-savy than I can copy/paste or post a link here so everyone can read it.
#18 – Can you post a link? Thank You very much!
I’m not sure how to post a link….but go to the Scared Monkeys site and find the most recent Holly Bobo thread. Somebody posted the entire article, and there’s a link there as well. It’s 6 pages long.
http://www.jacksonsun.com/article/20111009/NEWS25/110090330
See if this works…
It does, thanks Constance

Even after Mom told Clint to get a gun and get out there, even after he saw blood, he was not alarmed. He still thought it was Drew. (And why wasn’t Drew answering his phone, anyway?) Clint was not alarmed until neighbor pulled up and told him about the scream.
I’m still not seeing anything in this article that would have comprised the case if revealed 6 months ago.
@ Constance ~ I guess it doesn’t clear up the “why’s” of how Clint responded, why no one called Holly’s phone, or why Drew didn’t answer his phone….but it does somewhat clear up the sequence of events, gives some names that have not been mentioned until now, and describes where people were at the time of the abduction……
I think something must have happened a few days before this took place. I actually think the aticle puts suscpious on the b/f. Thats what I got from reading it. Just my two cents
I’ve read the article, the timelines make sense to me and so does the chaos of the events that unfolded. I’m not sure why this info was withheld by LE other than the fact that there are two witnesses – Clint and the neighbor who heard the scream. Perps don’t like to leave witnesses which leads me to believe that is why the Bobo’s were under tight LE security for a period of some time. What next? Someone knows something that’s eating away at their gut and I hope they do the right thing and tell what they know. Bless this family and let’s all pray for an end to this nightmare.
Yes if all of the above is true, Clint is clearly in the “clear” as I always suspected. Not sure about Drew at this point, but he SEEMS to be covered as well. So we are back to the camo stranger or someone Holly knows. Yet the article makes Holly sound like a hothouse plant who never left the house except for school, so where would she meet this large camo-man?
I still think it is possible this was a total stranger who followed her home the night before, perhaps. Wish the article had extended to what her previous day consisted of, timeline, where she was, etc…
I wonder if Clint was maybe only half awake during these events. He likely was groggy and had the morning blur that many people get when they first awaken. He (and apparently the dog) slept through the screams, and 10 minutes after the apparent screams, he sees Holly and the Man in Camo in the yard. This suggests that the scream occurred while she was still in the yard. Maybe he is just a sound sleeper (he apparently slept through all the activity from 5:30 to 7:30, and maybe it took 10 minutes for the dog to awaken him. Although we all wish he had recognized the danger as it developed, I have no reason to think he was involved in any way.
I do get the feeling that Holly’s mother and friends had the sense of something horrible happening. Why did the teacher seem to know what happened by 8AM? Did KB or CB call the school to see if she were there? No one mentions any call to the school.
I get the feeling from the article that people were not as surprised by all this as I would have suspected. Possible the reporter has brought his own bias into the article. But, I pick up an unspoken “vibe” from the article, that the family has a suspect in mind.
I also find it strange that the neighbor called KB at school before trying to call the house (or maybe she did call the house and CB slept through it – that would explain why she then drove to the house).
What I find most sad about all of this is that if any of the people involved had behaved differently at any of multiple stages, this tragedy may have ended differently (not that anyone did anything wrong, other than the Man in Camo of course).
I feel like Clint’s actions and thought processes were understandable. What I’m curious to know more about is the neighbor, Barnes, who initially heard her screams and reported it to his mother before he left for work at a construction company. I’m sure the TBI has looked into his story and verified where he was and when. I guess I just find it odd that he heard screams, the kind that obviously sent some alarm, and then went and told his mom and left for work? Then again, though this is more information than we’ve had before, I guess it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s ALL the information. It’s just all so strange.
I agree that KB and maybe a few others close to her had some advance notice of something amiss with Holly and someone else. The poor woman fell to the floor! If there had been NOTHING going on prior that morning is unlikely that her reaction would have been so extreme, IMO. Her nighbor or her co-worker/friend may have been aware and on higher alert, as they jumped into action quickly. But, it appears that CB was not aware of the issue, as he didn’t panic, like everyone else.
As to CB, my belief has always been that he was a heavy sleeper/groggy, and may have been starting his morning ritual (showering, running water, listening to music). There may have been fans running or even a loud air-conditioner. I know there is a huge age dif, but my 15 yr old son would not wake to a scream and dogs barking in the early morning at our house. I think CB’s behaviour on a number of levels can be attributed to ‘tired-boy’ syndrome.
I suspect that the Bobos have a good idea of who is behind this. I think that all feared initially that Clint was in danger and that is why the police were present 24/7 in the first days. CB saw who did this. He may know who did this.
I think there are too many odd reactions described in the article in the moments following the abduction for this to be a “surprise” or for it to have been conducted by a total stranger.
And I keep going back to the picture of the Neighborhood Watch sign posted at the end of the Bobo driveway. How many people have one of those next to their mailbox?
I think some people or at least some body knew the abduction was a possibility all along…….

———————————————————————-
I agree, GeorgiaDad. After reading the article, I wondered how the teacher administering the test knew something already. That makes me wonder if she knew something about the abduction/abductor before it even happened.
The article does make me wonder a bit about the boyfriend. Does he have an alibi for the time of Holly’s abduction? I am sorry if that has been answered already-I have that disorder-CRS.
And it does sound like everyone was expecting this to happen-like it wasn’t a true surprise.
I keep thinking prior events led up to this abduction. Everyone is right the article does describe some strange reactions. Almost like a I told you so situation. I do feel like there is more of a backstory to this case then the le is letting get out though. Just my two cents
The article says that Clint told Karen that he saw Holly and Drew at the edge of the yard walking towards the woods, and Karen immediately panicked and said “Oh my God Clint, that is not Drew! Call 911,” and then told him to go get a gun and go after the man. So apparently, she wasn’t even confused about the situation – not even stopping to ask herself or Clint, “What? I thought Drew was at grandmother’s property hunting? Who else could that be with Holly?” She immediately panicked and knew something was very wrong. To me, that says she had some kind of warning or was on alert for some reason. I just wish we knew what kind of warning or knowledge she had.
I do recall that at the beginning of this, there was a statement that the parents immediately thought of BB when this happened. Maybe there was some sort of warning or knowledge about him hurting Holly? I’d love to know if Karen blurted out his name to Clint that morning …
Like any good citizen of Metropolis when a bad guy is around I am anxiously awaiting Super Blink…
That he will not allow it long concealed,. Though hidden for a year, or two, or three…..Chaucer.
I like that quote Jeff. I wish I felt like Super Blink in this case, I do not. I believe there is a parallel investigation going on here and my heart aches for this family.
B
I am kinda of confused because this all sounds like it happended in a very short time. How far could have this person got before people started arriving. They seemed to know something was wrong within the first twenty minutes. How long from the screams did clint see them walking in the woods. Seems like a short period of time lapsed from the time the perp and holly went into the woods til clint and the nieghbor talked. She had to been taken somewhere close. Just my two cents
He only had to get her to a vehicle…it sounds like Clint was stopped from going after them by the arrival of the neighbor, calling 911 at that point, and the perp would not have needed more than a moment or two if his vehicle was hidden just out of sight. Why no one took off after them anyway is curious…LE may have told them not to, but I can’t imagine that actually stopping them. I am surprised the neighbor didn’t just drive across the land toward the woods, with Clint in the car/truck with him…
So frustrated!! It seems that there must have been enough information when Holly was taken to get a search warrant or something. Now we know more, but still not much. When will this be solved? I am ready to crawl out of my skin and I don’t even know the family. What suffering they are experiencing!!
#38. Blink in your response you state “I believe their is a parallel investigation going on here” Does this mean that Holly is not the main focus of LE and maybe something bigger – drug crime, sexual exploitation or trafficking, or delving into other unsolved murders in this geographical area? Or, it has been stated that NB was in Florida and brought back home shortly before this abduction, could this be related and the reason for a parallel investigation?
I cannot be more specific, but there is more than one, imo.
B
I read this article from today’s Jackson Sun – it is very disheartening and tragic – it seems that case was botched from the get go. IMO
http://m.jacksonsun.com/news/article?a=2011110130314&f=645
CLint heard dogs barking and the had to heard the phone ringing from his mother. Clint also would of had to hear the neighbor when they came over. However he didn’t hear no screams but he heard everything else. The neighbor heard screams before he went to work and told his mother. Does anyone think the nieghbor made up the scream story to cover his tracks. Any thoughts. Just my two cents
Jeff, I do hope the neighbor story was checked out thoroughly by LE. Not making accusations at all, but leave no stones unturned. Was he questioned, his alibi checked out, vehicle examined etc.? JMO
Jeff, as I recall, the scream came before the dogs and phone ringing. The neighbor was outside leaving for work and heard the scream. The neighbor came over BECAUSE of the scream. When the scream occurred it’s very possible Clint was still asleep or just waking or whatever. Also, wasn’t Clint outside when the neighbor showed up? I don’t think the neighbor is covering anything.
Odd tho, when I first read/heard about the scream being heard by a neighbor (way back in April) I got the impression that the neighbor was female.
michvhf
I might have misunderstood the atricle but I though the neighbors son heard the scream. After hearing it her alerted his mom then went to work. The mother of this person was the one who called karen bobo. I think I am going to have to read it again. Just my two cents
Jose
It could be nothing but it just stikes me has odd thats all. I hope le did check him out and verify is story. Just my two cents
Jeff, the neighbor’s son did hear the scream then told his mom. It’s just the impression I got originally there was no mention of the son and that it was a woman that heard it and called. Of course back when this first hit the press was reporting different things that Clint said and it later came out that he hadn’t even talked to the press, they got it from LE. This case has been bizarre from the start.
Michvhf
The only reason I question the scream or screams is because clint said she was walking side by side with the perp. How many times is she going to get away with screeaming without the perp saying stop or I am going to kill you. I am just thinking maybe she didn’t scream at all. Plus I don’t know how far the neighbor lives from the bobo’s. I don’t know these are the things running through my mind. Just my two cents.
Blink, No email ?
