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.

Well the link takes you to the Open Line page, but it is Part 1 on page 5 archives of the link that I put there. I guess since it’s a video, it doesn’t directly link to it. Sorry!

A construction business.
That could be nothing more then somebody working out of the back of a pick up truck. Answering to nobody and arriving at job sites
not observed by others.
Anyways… I would contact a professional volunteer search team and ask if they would search for Holly.
Yes, from what I have been able to find out, JB is a one-man operation and therefore he probably would be able to come and go as he pleases. (within reason, of course, as he would have customers waiting on him at certain times)
Unfortunately, if LE isn’t willing to cooperate with a SAR group, most of the reputable ones won’t set foot in the middle of an investigation.
News reports coming out of that area indicate there is a monumental problem with corrupt LE and TBI. Drugs are everywhere, cops are selling, probably concealing and covering up for others selling/dealing, heavy meth use and manufacture with little LE interference, LE & TBI improper use of seized property, embezzlement, the list is unbelievable and could lead one to think there is even a possibility that LE may be involved in Holly’s disappearance….even if that hasn’t happened, who would one trust with information if the hen house is full of wolves?
In part 2, Clint said something I hadn’t heard or read before. He heard the perp’s voice. “From his voice he sounded younger” Well what did he say?
Apparently there’s more video ‘cuze they say they’re coming back at the end of part 2 but there are no others in the archive (that I saw). Thanks for posting the link Trueconcern.
It has not been stated where he was supposed to be that morning, but if it was his class, then his classmates/friends/relatives would know that. If it was hunting with Drew on the other side of the town, then maybe a handful of close persons would know that. If it was somewhere else, then who knew about it? It seems like the perp was counting on no one being home that morning…
As for Blinks last statement in #17. It appears that the perp may be part of a family that owns some property near the Bobo house because only family or friends of that family would know if there were supposed to be any hunters on their property that morning, and if not, it left the property free and clear to roam on without having any witnesses. They would also know all the exits, and the land very well.
Investigator:
Thanks for the info.
It sounds like a war zone out there.
I have not read anything here that indicates LE involved in this crime or hold back on info on this crime.
JB has a pattern of behavior and I would like to see more about the incodent where Holly’s mom had to repremand his advances towards Holly. If that ever happened at all.
NB was brought back from Florida (Miami?) a week or two before Holly’s abduction as she ran into some trouble there with some type of modeling agency. Maybe a broken contract, maybe an agency that wasn’t really a modeling agency, but something more sinister – how did she pay the debt if she broke her agreement or contract? It appears that she dyed her hair darker after her return. Was she hiding? Did she possibly use Holly’s address and not hers when the agreement was made? Could Holly being taken possibly been a mistaken identify and/or payment? Now, going a little further out on a limb as in a small town everyone knows everyone and the meth/drug problem being what it is, it is possible that NB got JD or some of the others mentioned involved in her plot to pay a debt owed. Maybe this is why the family believes that Holly could be still alive. JMO
Cindy – I think you and I have both been following the discussion on Topix, for whatever that is worth. I sure wish there was more information being released offically regarding Holly’s disappearance and the investigation. As I’ve said before, that community must be tied up in knots over this, but it’s strange, IMO how little info from the community is being released, even inthe form of gossip. I wish Blink could tell us more about what is going there…but everything she knows must be very sensative. Blink – will you be doing another piece on Holly soon?
Cindy”
“NB was brought back from Florida (Miami?) a week or two before Holly’s abduction as she ran into some trouble there with some type of modeling agency. Maybe a broken contract, maybe an agency that wasn’t really a modeling agency, but something more sinister”
Does anyone know the facts on this situation.. ?
Wondering if Blink still believes the motive she stated early on, or has it changed?
I always thought this was revenge or someone knew too much about something. I do believe there probably other crimes commited against her though. Praying for a miracle.

Blink quoted. May 12th 2011
If I were asked, I would absolutely repeat the search activity that was taking place on Saturday and had been planned for Sunday.
Find this comment so intresting, I have been back here to read this many times as I think there is so much information when you read between the lines. So LE pland to search on Sunday, but with the finging of the cell phone, all was called off, and there were no more searches after this. What every was on the cell phone had huge implementation to this case, I mean, it all just stops, and went, hush ,hush. It makes me think something was on the pnone, directed at LE or the family, something that got there attension real fast.
( I know where it was, and I am not publishing) understandable.
Imo, that “tip” came in because they wanted to move searchers away from where they were. It is post offense “nervous actions” like this that get people caught.
This one kills me, if you break this down, and think about the key words.
(The “tip”) in quotes, could implie the abductor made the call or someone close to the abductor.
(Because they wanted to move searchers away) they? Meaning more than two people with Holly, or Holly and the abductor? The perp knew the searchers were getting close, Holly and the perp were in a location, holding up so to say, and the perp knew they were getting close?
(it is post offence) and it worked, very, very well, did it not, because that’s just what happen, IT ALL STOPED, EVERYTHING!!!!!! Combine that with the top part of this, and it sounds like the perp planted the phone, called in the tip, left something on the phone, text, video, pics, and told them to back off or some other kind of warning. This is the key part to this case to me, something happen that day, that had massive implication to the Holly Bobo abducation.
Now that it has been 6 months, Blink, care to share some more.
If I was holding anything I thought would progress the case by releasing it, I would.
B
well thank anyways, at lease it got me thinking about this case again……..
Unless this is a stranger abduction. From everything that has been written, I see 2 possible.
I think Holly is alive.
I dont see it any other way.
If she isnt alive then that family of hers needs to be seriously looked into. Denial is one thing but after 6 months grieving should be active.
I highly doubt her cousin’s and whole family and close friends are all sociopaths and unable to process emotions.
I know some will not agree and may be offended but if you can think of some reason for the absences of grieving be my guest.
Man…..First Time got me reading some of the stuff over on the Topix forum. That is some crazy stuff over there. However, if you read enough of the threads and weed thru all of the BS, there are some very viable and plausible explanations of what may have happened.
But in the end, all of the hypotheses do not amount to a hill of beans because we still don’t know all of the story, and we are assuming what we do know is “true,” even though none of it seems to add up or follow a consistent timeline.
Anyway….I just continue to hope that someday we will learn something. I’m afraid this may similar to the Morgan Harrington case….a few facts released, none of which are totally consistent, a few facts that will never be released (for whatever reasons) and way too many interpretations and accounts of what might have happened to ever make any sense.
@ Edward in #13…..do you mean, “unless it is a stranger abduction, you see two possible primary suspects?”
And if so, are you thinking the neighbor (JB) and ex-BF (BB)? They probably had the most clear motives (sexual and/or revenge) and access to the area to accomplish the abduction.
I think you’d have to add the possibility of someone involved with NB (drugs/modeling/random acquaintance), and also possibly a friend/relative of her current BF (Drew Scott’s brother, etc).
That kinda gives 4 primary suspects or at least 4 different avenues of people who could have come in contact with Holly…..
Those 4 primary POI were covered over on Topix…..along with the random theory that even if Clint wasn’t directly involved, it had something to do with him or was a result of his actions.
#9 – Hi Edward, Sorry but I’ve been out of circulation for a few days due to illness. Anyway, I wish I had all of facts of relating to this situation but it looks like those closer to it aren’t or won’t talk.
Could Holly have been sexually assaulted in the garage, resulting in the blood that was found? Perhaps Clint witnessed some part of this and was traumatized by it. Maybe LE asked him not to reveal certain things that he witnessed?

I know some will not agree and may be offended but if you can think of some reason for the absences of grieving be my guest.
———————————————————————-
How do you, or any of us know, that the family is NOT grieving? We don’t, in my opinion. Let’s also remember that since Holly has not been found, there is a chance she is alive-a remote chance, but a chance. If this was your loved one, even if you felt in your heart that the victim was deceased, you may decide to wisely not say such a thing publicly.
There is no doubt that this family is grieving the last 6 months they have not had their daughter/sister. The lost time is unbearable, I would guess. And we do not know what goes on behind their closed doors.
Let me say that having experience with parents in this area, I can tell you that unequivocally, it is different for each parent, and each set of parents, if applicable. One thing has been fairly constant, however.
Nobody wants the end to this journey to be a dead child. Even though it is also constant that the “not knowing” is the worst, there is a cycle that parents and families go through that may seem odd to someone that has not witnessed it personally or experienced it, but it is very real.
I also believe some surround themselves with people that support this notion, as a protective sort of cloak.
I have not personally worked with a family or on a case as a professional that ended that way, unfortunately, and I knew that was the likely outcome going in, but my job at the point is to help the parents to be prepared for the worst, and hope for the best, in stages, or quite honestly I would not take the case.
There is a recent case I was asked to consult early, the person was not missing 72 hours, and within an hour long conference call, my initial assessment was that this person was a high risk candidate for a suicide, and that would be the focus of my investigation. The parents were completely miffed, and I do not blame them, and I understood their angst at such a proposition- of course.
That said, their child was located via cadaver canine scent track, a few weeks later, and had committed suicide. In the midst of their grief, I got a call from a LEO with a private message from them I will never forget.
My point in sharing this, is that the only thing we do know about parents actions and state of mind while a child is missing, is that we have no right to judge, or right to expectation of “normal.”
B
Awful short timeline in that garage for anything sexual causing the blood. Clint said there was a pool of blood, so my guess is her nose.
Or mouth, yes. There was an open can of soda on the ground, I was wondering if she were taking a sip to finish it when she was assaulted?
I do not believe there was a sex assault at the home, no evidence of that.
B
Blink,
I’ve really been thinking about the idea that Holly’s abduction is tied to something else going on in that town and also about DNA being taken from certain local individuals. I believe that whatever the “parallel” case is, it much bigger and deeper than we (I) can ever imagine…after some thought about these two things, I’m wondering if maybe LE did find a match when they collected the DNA from one of the local boys. Maybe this local boy did talk and give them info on “the bigger case”. I feel that whomever did physically abduct Holly that they are just a very small piece of the puzzle. If this person did talk and confirm what LE/TBI was thinking, they let this boy go to protect him so that the “bigger fish” think he kept quiet. When LE/TBI finally get their ducks in a row and can bring down the “big wigs” this boy may or may not serve his time, but for now, maybe LE advised this boy to keep quiet and to get out of town. I find it interesting that quite a few boys left town soon after Holly’s abduction, maybe this was for their protection. This might also explain why all the searches stopped suddenly and the urgency around finding Holly seemed to dwidle down rather quickly…
Based on your experience with past cases and your current knowledge, do you think this could be possible? Would LE allow someone to go free for a while so that they can concentrate on getting the whole case solved without the “big wigs” knowing that they are onto them? I’d be interested in your thoughts on this, thanks.
No, I do not think there is a situation you described whatsoever.
The searches stopped because TBI took the lead on the case, and it is clear they could not guarantee the integrity of the case with the assets there. There were idiots planting things in the field and leaking info all over the place, sadly.
B
Ok, well I appreciate your response. Sorry, I just can’t shake the feeling that LE/TBI know more than what they are leading us to believe and I thought maybe this was one avenue that they could have learned their info….but sadly, that is probably just wishful thinking on my part, darn it! Ok, back to the thinking board…
I absolutely believe TBI knows a great deal more than has been released, and I do believe strongly there is a parallel investigation, but if they had enough to form a suspect they would likely be presenting to a grand jury as an investigative tool, and that has not happened yet to my knowledge.

@ Edward in #13…..do you mean, “unless it is a stranger abduction, you see two possible primary suspects?”
jb / nb or a person associated to nb and that does not mean nb has any knowledge of him/them.
It is my opinion that Girls that strip or involve themselves in a lifestyle of nudty/modeling/escort/massage have a far different mindset then SOME of those males that come to watch or involve themselves with the girls.
j/b is a common … a known person to be infatuated and “Lost It”

This goes to Blinks quote #21.
I think this case is just as it seems, there has been to much BS, rumors, and flat out make up stuff, and it falls in two camp, 1. Those that make stuff up just so the blog goes on, 2. Others that have motives more sinister, misleading the flow and control of the information, (called mis-direction), with that said!
To Blink quote, about people planting things, it all makes more sense to me now, LE – took this as a very troubling case, someone came to this girl house, and force her to go with him,** very disturbing in nature. LE – must have had the understanding that her life might very well be in big danger. There were those on a site called [volnation],** Two of these names were V4L and Tigersomething. From the start when she was taken, these two people were giving “play by play accounts of what was happening”.
The way I was reading these post, it sounded like someone in the searches, were sending texts to these posters, and they were posting the information. Either they did not know how much this could hurt with saving Holly or they just thought they were helping. Combined that, with people planting things, and possible past people in her life in the searches, well I can see how LE, would have had a mess on there hands. But either way something major happen with the cell phone, why there were no more searches after the point, to me is very strange???????????????????
As far as how it seem, someone she did not know, found/met/stalked her, and pulled of the perfect crime, to this point!!!!
**I don’t mean she was dragged, but might have had a gun, a gun to your side, you would leave too!!
** I have to cap it because of spell check
it seems very strange that the brother says he sees his sister being pulled in the woods and he doesnt even confront his sister or the person shes with.if she was being taken by force surely if i was her relative i would have been fighting to get her free.i would have been confronting her and him about what was going on,and where,or who she was with or where they were going.it just baffles me to this day that by his own account he saw her being pulled or going into the woods with some unknown person and did nothing.so really whats with that?after hering him say that i thought maybe he(the brother)had something to do with her disapearance.i pray shes safe and thatthe truth comes out.
To Laurie
If you lived here you would know.
Frustrated is the overall emotion.
Theres no group that is convincing people to think Holly is alive.
There a lot people don’t see or hear about all this.
I dont know what happened to her and I’m just as fed up as everyone else.
Its been a long time and it has to be the strangest situation ever.
Its scary cause we don’t know why they are saying some things they are saying when its just not true at all.
Both the family and authorities have done this a lot about things that I don’t get why.
People just want it to be over and those close to the family are not grieving like she may not come home.
Its hard to explain really but thats just not the way it is around here.
Keep praying for her please.
I know- I do not do cryptic here. If you have a fact based opinion you can offer, please do.
This is not topix.
Thanks
B
Funny how, when I say the screen names of other people on other blogs, they come out of the wood work, interesting how the posters come back, against the boob’s, it makes me think there are people in all forums, playing games with this case, what would be the motive, as, why people would play such games with this girls case, and why would they care too this point.
Oh there are definitely people playing games with an open investigation of an assaulted and abducted woman, and I can tell you as a fact, if it hinders this investigation, those “mean-wells” will be slapped with interfering with an investigation or flat out obstruction. That said, I don’t know who you are referring to, and I think you meant Bobo.
B
There may not have been a sexual assault at the scene but I don’t think its for a lack of time. We have heard the scream was at 7:40am and we have been told that Clint did not awake till shortly thereafter and heard the dog, then voices, etc. He had time to witness Holly walking, casually, into the woods sometime around 7:50am. So 10+ minutes is a lifetime for a kidnapper. I have to believe that if Holly screamed at 7:40, the kidnapper would have had her outta there within a minute, maybe two.
I KNOW says:
October 26, 2011 at 7:44 pm
Keep praying for her please.
————————————————————–
I KNOW, I most certainly pray for her and all the missing. I had said what I said because another poster seemed to think that the family was not grieving. My response to that was-How do we know they aren’t?
Blink, you are amazing. Your path in life must be so very special. God bless you for all you do.

Blink,Thank you for sharing this story with us and for this comment above.:-)
@ Rosie,
I agree the events of that morning and what Clint did or didn’t do were questionable early on when Holly was very first abducted. Soon after though, it was clarified by LE and Clint that he never saw her being dragged or forcefully taken-for some reason they were wanting to stress that Clint never said that. One has to look (with the limited info we have) at the bigger picture and realize that we are not being told everything that happened that morning in order to protect the case. Right now, I can’t see why not telling the events of that morning step by step can not be revealed but I’m sure, when this is solved we will understand. Actually, the fact that all of the events of that morning are not being revealed, tells me a lot- in my opinion, there is definitely more to the story and I think in the end people will realize Clint did a lot more than we ever realized to help.
Remember, even as recently as the past month, we have learned more about that morning. Clint did actually grab a pistol as directed by his mother in an attempt to rescue Holly. Personally, I really do think that he did more than that (in an ttempt to save Holly). There is no way that I think that Clint just sat and watched Holly be taken and did nothing to help save her…but thats just me. : )
Are we sure that Drew was not near or on Holly’s property? I only ask this after the revelation concerning the “flurry” of phone calls around 7:30 between Holly, Karen and Drew.
positive.
B
Yes I ment Bobo’s.
As far as the creen names, post #11.
Blink comment on post #27, is the first to put in writing these two words.
Assaulted and Abducted woman, and she right about that, the blood was that of Holly**, so there for, she was assaulted in the car port, funny how this is not a bigger topic.
** I all think LE did not want this known, but Mr’s Bobo let it slip, could this be the reason the the relationship between LE and the Bobo’s broke down, TRUST, LE don’t trust the Bobos because of their desperation to find Holly, LE is doing this for a good reason, I want this person caught, and put with the other animals, were he or they belong!!!!!!!!!!
OK…Let me ask this. Is is likely that the perp (or assistants) are still walking around Parsons and Darden, living a fairly “normal” life?
Food for thought.
Holly is Assaulted in the car port, it also means that Clint seen this just after it happen, he said, “I thought they were looking at a turkey” both were on the ground, right!!!…. As well as a coke can on the ground too. He thought he heard arguing too, may not, he heard commands and/or orders, demands that she go with him and now, TIME would have been very importune to him.
Victim Selection
Was the victim opportunistic or target?
If the victim was targeted, what appears to be the offender’s selection criteria?
Location type (indoor, outdoor, apartment, parking lot, woods, etc…)
Occupation (prostitute, homeless, exotic dancer, student, teacher, etc….)
Vulnerability (intoxicated, tired, distracted, unaware, etc…)
Physical characteristic (height, weight, hair style, color, clothing, etc…)
Activity (jogging, hiking, shopping, internet, etc…)
If the victim appears to have been targeted, what pre-surveillance behaviors would be required by the offender, given the activity of the vicim?
If the victim could not have been targeted or pre-surveilled, then did the offender have to step outside of their daily, non criminal routine to acquire them, or was the offender likely trolling for potential victims?
If the offered was not actively trolling, and the victim could not have been preselected or pre surveilled, then the offender likely acquired the victim during their daily routine of activity. This suggests that a reconstruction of the victim’s lifestyle, habits, and routines may give direct insight into the lifestyle, habits, and routines of the offender.
One of the earliest accounts of that day, by ABC News, says that Clint Bobo told police that he witnessed his 20-year old sister being dragged across their carport by a man dressed in camouflage.
On April 20, 2011 the Decatur County Chronicle released one of the early versions of Clint’s memory of that fateful morning, only this had changed from five days prior when the ABC story was released. Instead of seeing his sister being dragged across their carport, he claims that she was simply led away, by her arm, forcefully. The sheriff of Decatur County made this statement for Clint, because up until late into the summertime, Clint didn’t speak for himself at all. The sheriff said, since Clint’s story had changed, that the girl was being led away, by her arm, and was in fear of her life.
On August 4, 2011, four months after Holly Bobo disappeared, Clint’s story changed a third time. This time he spoke to Jane Velez Mitchell on her HLN program. Clint’s story was quite whimsical and vague, and totally different from the story that has been in the media since day one. In fact, criminal profiler Pat Brown thinks he’s a weirdo and she publicly said so on her Facebook wall.
Her status update, along with a link to the transcript of the show, read:
“Clint Bobo continues to say squirrelly things.”
In the latest version of the events that transpired on that morning, Clint Bobo claims that he woke up at the sound of their dog barking.
“I saw the silhouette of two people in our garage. At the time I had no idea who either one of the people were. And then come to realize later that that was my sister and her abductor.”
So now there are silhouettes of people in their garage, which is attached to their one-story home. Clint continues with his strange story of seeing what looked like people kneeling in the garage of their home. He said that is when he called his mother (instead of calling police, or going outside to see what was going on for himself).

AND
Offender’s selection criteria? Holly Bobo.
——————————————————————–
Sherry, I don’t even know who people are thinking is the one who did it, but I would say you are right on both counts. Just my opinion, but I do believe you hit the nail right on the head.
At post #37, Chelsea Hoffman, posted by Edward.
All this has been said, over and over, by so many people, for so many different reason. This is my take, I listen to Clint’s account only one time, when he went on the JVM show, let me say that again, WHEN HE, CLINT, went on the JVM show, as far as i’m concern, there is aways confusion at the start of these kinda of crimes, how this information was release and by who at the time is something people need to think about.
Now if Clint dose another interview, and he dose changes things around, I would start to question just whats going on here. Everything he said I also believed. One dose not wake up one day thinking your sister is being kidnap on your land, most people lives in a bubble of safety.
I saw the above comment from the poster I KNOW on a different site. I have a good friend that lives in the the Parsons area and she has said essentially the same thing. I find your response perplexing. What exactly is a “fact based opinion” anyway? Do you have to agree? Although I agree that we cannot truly know how someone is feeling, its obvious if someone is generally happy or sad. It is also obvious that there are people in this family that are not showing what would seem to be appropriate emotion given the situation. This is not being addressed from what I have seen.
Heh?
Obvious to whom? That is highly subjective, as I have posted many times.
B
A couple of things to remember about Clint. 1) In the first few days (maybe even a month or more, I don’t recall exactly), Clint never talked to the media. The media got their info from various LE officials. 2) Up until Holly and her abductor walked into the woods and Clint was talking to his mom on the phone, he thought Holly was with her boyfriend.
There was miscommunication between Decatur County and TBI on Clint’s statement, and then a tactical decision on what to release by the TBI. Clint’s account has never changed one iota, what was initially released, and in some cases, press errors, did.

Is it true that Karen actually received the tip by phone that led to the find on Easter Sunday?
I am so curious as to what was found that day.
Blink – based on what you know, do you think this case will ever be officially solved? If so, please tell us as much as you can about what you base that opinion on.
This is a solvable case. Of that I have no doubt.
To be frank, this case will progress exponentially if the Bobo’s ditch everyone around them that is not immediate family, and not utter a syllable about the case to any of those folks, hire a REPUTABLE PI, preferably retired FBI to provide an initial assessment on Holly’s case and go from there.
They need help and they need to ask for it yesterday.

Blink,
You must feel like you’re in a revolving door because you constantly have to stave off the same questions over and over regarding Clint. I must say that I’ve been here along time and lots of newbies in the midst. I believe in the immediate families innocence in this crime, however, not so much in the extended family. Thanks for what you do and prayers for Dana, Karen, and Clint.
I am really doubting that this case will ever be solved, or that Holly will ever be found…instead just added to some of those great unsolved mysteries people will wonder about decades from now…just a bad vibe around this case and how it has been handled, or not.
What part of Whitney Duncans behavior is “subjective?” Please do share? Her priority at the moment appears to be making sure people vote for her as the hottest girl on Survivor? You are a complete hypocrite in my opinion and I haven’t even read all the other comments only this thread. I dont necessarly by that she is still alive either.
You want some “fact based opinions” why dont you read the media reports? Last I heard the pastor, family, friends and authorities all had no reason to believe she may not still be alive. Have you been to the community? I’m gonna go read some more “facts” and will ask my friend that is from the area. So far it seems your opinion is not supported even though it would appear to be the obvious outcome.
Well since you have it all figured out I guess we can all pack up and go home.
One of these days Alice…

I have to say, the brother does some strange things.
Not just what he says, but his actions too.
I discount all of it because he is immature in his thought pattern.
Is it possible ?
One sybling could attack another.It happens. No matter how your heart feels, Anything is possible.
I myself never accuse anyone but I do keep the mind and eyes open to what could be possible.
I think Clint may have a hair of a developmental impairment or spectral issue, but i do not believe he would ever harm his sister.

What I look for is patterns of behavior.
I believe Blink hit the nail on the head about the Bobo’s needing some outside help w/ “fresh eyes” on the case from square one. Seems like everyone involved has hit a brick wall.
I mean, everyone believes it’s a “local,” and the population of the Parsons/Darden area is less than 4,000 I believe. Take away the women, children, and elderly, and it’s not that big of a pool to draw suspects from.
Something is waaaay fishy in how it’s all being handled……
Closer to 2000 folks, iirc. It is not just fresh eyes, it is advocacy for Holly and her family.
