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.

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 have been following Holly’s case since day one. I have also been reading here regularly for quite some time. I only started posting here recently, however.
I have to say you do not have to be a “newbie” to question Clint Bobo’s story. LE questioned it, at least for a time, as did the TBI. These agencies have not cleared anyone from guilt. All of that being said, I do not think Clint is guilty of hurting Holly.
Thanks, Blink, for being patient with all of us. I find your responses to our questions very helpful.
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
The TBI was lead on this case on the very first day.
I believe you also said that no sim card was found.
What would be significant about a phone with no sim card?
What are they gonna send to get analyzed, the battery?
That is not accurate, link please as to where I said no sim card was found please.
I note you do not dispute leaks or idiots planting evidence in the field.
B
It is the planting of evidence that is unusual. It is incriminating to plant evidence. What evidence was found that people believe was planted, where was it found ?
The tbi was in the middle of this investigation from the start. But on “NO” sight, have I read from the start, anyone say anything about the US Marshalls. So, both services were here & very active! You see, their have been more than 100 men investagated, fingerprinted, dna’s taken, houses willing searched, heck their whole properties, after the offical searches had come to an end.The people that live in the Decatur Co. & Henderson Co. area, that are law abiding citizens have already told “Everything they know.” Whether it be, gossip they heard sitting beside a pulpit or what they heard at the local taverns.
Well since you have it all figured out I guess we can all pack up and go home. One of these days Alice. B
Why am I not surprised at your response? Since reading more of your blog I notice you are good at reflection. Blink apparently you are the only one that has it all figured out. You appear to have had it all figured out since the beginning too. I think you need to go down there and solve this case since you say its so “solvable” and apparently TBI, FBI and all the other agencies are just not seeing how easy this really could be. While your there you could get some “fact based” opinions about how the locals really feel not just the few that will talk to a online blogger. Oh and you could also find out the amount of the reward and report that correct. You remind me of that saying “do as I say not as I do.” I lost count of the times you would tell a poster to “write in complete sentences” or that you “dont do cryptic” and many more things. Although of course these dont apply to you. For the record I like Whitney Duncan and think she loves her cousin Holly a lot. I dont know what the heck happened but I dont think her brother did anything wrong. I dont have an opinion on whether Holly is still with us or not. I couldnt be confident in anything for one and I cant see past Whitney among others “subjective” lack of grie like others apparently can. I just hope and pray that by some miracle maybe she is and if not I hope she is found soon and the case prosecuted.
I enjoy your Baby Lisa blog btw.
Your assuming that TBI does not have this figured out. “Figuring out” a case and being able to support an arrest are very often mutually exclusive. I can’t figure out exactly what your beef is, except that you are frustrated about this case like everyone else. I get that.
That said, any work I have developed on this case has gone directly to LE, as all case-sensitive intel in any case does, and I am firm in my stance that this case is solvable, and that people close to the Bobo’s have interfered in this investigation (not immediate family, but I will not be elaborating, they know who they are) and it is because of that fact, that information about the investigation is being held very close.
Given the circumstances, I support that decision, which is why I stated my recommendations about hiring a reputable and recommended, PI, preferably former FBI.
B
Blink Quote 29th
I am firm in my stance that this case is solvable.
I agree with Blink, but everybody’s knows that the more time that goes by, the chances for this to be solved get small by the months. When I read post #50, if this was someone local, one would think that after women, children, and older people, theres something else, Clint’s account, 5’8’’ 6’ to 20l0b, removed any man 5’5’’ to 150 and the pool becomes even smaller. I just don’t think anymore that this person is from that town.
Blink
and that people close to the Bobo’s have interfered in this investigation (not immediate family, but I will not be elaborating, they know who they are) and it is because of that fact, that information about the investigation is being held very close.
I can see why it all came to an end on that Sunday now, and why statements make by the Bobo’s to the media, “ they are not telling us nothing “ JVM interview. The interesting thing by your statement is, this just happens to be coming out of the Bobo’s camp, not the Bobo’s them self, but those around them, I think that need a PI to and a PR person too.
Id like to comment on the whole stripper thing. If people do not know this, and I’m not going to say I’m 100 % to be correct, but Im close. The world of stripping, porn and prostitution go hand in hand. Inside the world of these strip clubs and the states there in, is a structures that I think people don’t know about, a class system.
Class A, are the national circuit, high ended strip clues that most porn stars and very beautiful, very very beautiful stripers work, they met movie-starts, rock-starts, pro-sport plays and very rich men. These young women can make 100K to 500k per yr., add in high ended prostitution, they could make a million a yr.. From here the pay grade starts to drop.
Class B, is just the step down from Class A, it more regional, east cost, west cost etc, with smaller clubs.
Class C, is the same thing, the quality of the clint’s, work environment, and pay, all become less and less.
Class D, is the bottom, small local clubs, low pay, shady men, nasty work place. This is the level were young women find them selfs in desperate place, willing to do anything for fame and money. The so called “porn options” are just as bad, older men with enough money to pay younger women to have sex with them. The pay is a far cry from the top, and girls make any were from 500 to 1500, a movie, based on what they will do for it. Contract are not that much more either.
My point is, I find it hard to think that Holly got dragged into this low level striping/porn thing people kept bring into this. These low grade men have a hard enough time just get young “QUALITY” women into these situation, let a lone send some hit man to kill someone because one of “there girls”, ran away from the contract commitments, most don’t even have ligament businesses. NB, is a good looking girl, and I’m not cut her down in any way, but she is a far, far cry from some of these high pay extremely beauty girls.
A Simple Profile
He knew her car and were to hide by that car.
He knew her time she left for the day and maybe Monday through Friday.
He knew her parents time, when they both left for work.
He maybe knew were both parents work and how far in miles/minutes
He chose spring for the abduction = no leaves on the trees, (greater visibility), dry ground, (less likely to leave tracks), spring rain, (rain in the forecast to cover tracks at some point). And indeed there were huge storms that came though, it might have been two week later, but you don’t know what happen at the end place where they both ended up, if this has some truth to it, what happen in the winter months that led up to this.
He dress so no one could ID him, and/or knew Clint would be there, and/or used it to aide in the get away, and/or used it to quickly blend back in to the public after the abduction that day.
He either knew Clint was there or not, if he did, he did not care.
He disable the phone when he had her under his control, and removed the sim card from the phone, this was done later.
He might have had some type of restraints in a place, to aid in the transportation, rope, duct tape, blinder, etc.
He had some type of transportation in place, in a tactical position.
He knew the location, and the surrounding property and would have had to know at least a five mile radius.
He would have had a end point location mapped out, the fastest, easiest, and least exposed way there, I feel this is some type of cabin, and/or hunting land, and/or state park land, were there would be no people within miles of this location.
He might have had a police scanner, knew frequencies bands for LE. I lot of poacher use these scanners to stay one step ahead of the DNR, if thats true, he would be very familiar with the LE code language.
He either dose not work or has a job that allows him to have time not be accountable for this time of day. No job? Unemployment????? Could have just lost his job that week!!anybody know some like this in the first weeks??????
He has past involvements with LE, has issue with drugs, alcohol, money and relationships.
Now look at all this, even if I’m 10% right or 90% right, one would think with all this that there should be someone that LE could put this picture together, and come up with a POI.
I haven’t posted for a while but it seems a lot of new people showed up on here all of a sudden. You kinda of got to think this person might be trying to frame someone. The perp didn’t seem to care about getting rid of evidence in town or around town. The question is did this person have a grudge against the bobo’s and holly or just holly. Furthmore I still think the perp must have had some kind of personal contact with the family too. Just my two cents
Your assuming that TBI does not have this figured out. “Figuring out” a case and bein able to support an arrest are very often mutually exclusive. I can’t figure out exactly what your beef is, except that you are frustrated about this case like everyone else. I get that. Blink-
Your correct I am frustrated and when I read your response to a specific statement it was my breaking point.
Like I said I know someone from the area that attends school with cousins and friends of Holly’s.
She does not know what happened to Holly and there were lots of rumors.
She has stated more then once that “no one seems to really know” cause no one is grieving like she is not alive.
I asked her again recently and she said the same thing.
Why did you make it appear that what the poster said was not correct?
Because for the last time, nobody has the right to say what anyone else is experiencing emotionally based on subjective, and certainly “whisper down the alley” observations.
I am a victims advocate, so I feel that such comments are ill-intentioned and a way of re-victimizing a victim in this instance, although I am giving the benefit of the doubt. I answered the query about “non-grieving” at length previously, based on my professional experiences and I feel that is more than sufficient to allow one to take into consideration.
B
#9 Jeff – Agreed.
@ Jeff & Cindy,
I agree, I feel the perp(s) definitely know the family. In my opinion this might have been done as some sort of revenge to the family.
If you notice,it does not appear as though LE/TBI has been worried about this happening again-they have not been warning the community to “lock your doors, never go anywhere alone” etc. which one might expect if there was a random abduction in the area. To me, this says that LE/TBI have had a pretty good idea about what the “motive” was here-and I think they’ve known for a while. As Blink said before: ““Figuring out” a case and being able to support an arrest are very often mutually exclusive.”
osufan
I think they knew from the start who did it. Its just a matter of evidence and putting a story to go with the crime. Then you throw in all the people related to one another and you have a problem. No telling what these relatives do in that town some could be le some could be somthing else. It seemed to me that the perp wanted to put the evidence in area’s already searched. In other words this perp person probley was somehow involved with the searches maybe even the planning. The neighbor still strikes me has odd but who knows. I also wonder if the people responsible are at a breaking point I see that word on here a lot more lately. Just my two cents
Blink, do you make anything of the fact that the perp seems to have thoroughly planned the attack (day/time of attack, Holly’s parents being at work, routes of escape, position of getaway vehicle, direction to approach house, etc) AND seems to have thoroughly planned what he did in the days/week after the abduction (where evidence was dropped, where cell phone was found, what to do with Holly, how to “blend back into” regular society)? Just seems as though this wasn’t a rookie and that it wasn’t something that just happened on a whim…..
I’m not sure that question makes sense, but I’m amazed that not a single clue was left….footprints, tracks, etc.

The only people I know that call their lawyer “o so awesome” are one’s that have gotten out of something.
Not in this case, and not from 2 members of the same family. LE can request a sample, and the individual can agree willingly, but to be honest, it is RARE for LE to request a sample anymore in a criminal case, it is almost exclusively through subpoena to protect the rights of the individual, and if that person is later a suspect or arrested, a successful prosecution.
Mr. Dodd-
Allow me to point out that it is you that decided to take your involvement in the investigation of the disappearance of Holly Bobo public. I was compelled to cover it, because frankly, I know that some of what your stating as fact is untrue, and on the surface, looks very much like an attempt to “control events”. That said, I am open to whatever you would like to set straight with my readers, that I can verify.
1. Your making assumptions that I do not have contacts with the lead investigation team in this case.
2. I would be glad to look at whatever documentation you wish, privately, I have emailed you at the address you provided.
Your request to remove your child’s Mom seemed reasonable although she put it on her facebook, I have cropped the picture at your request.
You do realize Sandy is for Sandra, right?
It never ceases to amaze me how family members end up making it worse for their own family by trying to defend indefensible behavior.
As he has admitted he has/is being investigated by the FBI, I would say yes.
I do not know that I would refer to an agent as a “connection” in that regard, however.
But I can tell you that S A N D R A called in the stolen ATV the morning Holly was abducted.
That said, I am not sure hypothetically that I buy there is only one suspect, as I agree there is a conflict in profile. Almost like a mentor, if you will.
I do not believe she is alive, and I do believe she was murdered, and that is my opinion based on the known, and not yet public information in this case, my article stands exactly as it is written.
What I will say is this, since Ms. Ramey announced on JVM last night that Clint’s story did not change, TBI changed it- They had a tactical reason for doing so which is not being released.
I have verified it was him personally, and your 100% correct, those topix forums are a joke, anyone can post as anyone, and in general I urge people to stay away from them. That said, once I knew for sure it was actually Jon Dodd, and I do not doubt others posting with/or as others that may have been him, I was floored that this young man would provide case sensitive information I knew to be confirmed.
I think there is a minimum amount of planning to this crime, but I think they never planned on Clint being home that day.
I do not believe there will be an update from LE until an arrest is made. I do not personally agree with that tactic, but I DO Support it.
SHe did scream, the neighbor heard her as she was backing out of her driveway.
Not that I am aware of on the stun gun, but I do believe a means of physical violence of some type was used to incapacitate her.
I do not believe that neighbor has been identified, but they definitely heard her scream.
Hmm, maiden name Alexander? Any relation to Ashley Alexander who quickly changed her FB, GF of Jason Todd?
TBI changed Clint Bobo’s account, that is all I will say.
I am not aware of any involvement on his part, his GF is an Alexander and had put the Holly reward pic on her FB and then took it off a few days later.
I do not believe that a female was involved in Holly’s abduction, but I have not been able to rule out the possibility of a female being a motivator.
1. Yes, I still think it is simple, but I think it is going to be extremely difficult to locate Holly without an arrest.
No, I no longer believe the perp (s) will commit suicide. This guy is an LE taunter.
Lee Baugus has been interviewed to my knowledge.
SO if Blake beat up Dodd, wouldnt it be true Dodd also knew Holly in some way?
Whether or not Holly “cheated” is not relevant to being subject to a brutal act of violence.
here were so many leaks you could fill a levy so the Sherriff’s Office was cut off and the case is being handled exclusively by the TBI. There is a strong belief that the person/person’s responsible were on the search, and may have compromised the case.
Her phone was recovered, and that is not the only item belonging to her.
The phone call to KB…thats when all of the searches stopped, the Bobo’s went silent and LE went into stealth mode.
Was not call, but a text, and I agree wholeheartedly. B
Her brother did not find anything normal about her headed into the woods.
Clint Bobo was in fear at what he saw, period. I just can’t take the speculation about this sighting anymore.
Thanks deetee, if that is correct, yes, I believe the ATV and the tire issue are relevant to this case.
He thought he had an alibis for that timeline. 2. She would not be missed until “x” o’clock. 3. It suited his schedule and needs. 4. It was time.
Because he wanted her, stealing her was the only way that was going to happen and because he is a sadistic prick.
Garden variety copycat learning from watching 48 hours ID.
Nothing new, novel, or noteworthy.
Schizophrenic now, looked like something else as a kid and has acres of brutalized animal bones his parents flat out ignored or covered up.
I wonder if they were even surprised really, at least in private.
Their creepy freak took this little girl and you already know what he is capable of, here’s your problem- so does EVERYONE else.
I think it very clear now whats going on with this case, LE is just waiting for the KEY BREAK.
@chris
you don’t know what LE has process at the location, it looks like the car port has a sand for the drive way, there very well might have been foot prints left there, just saying, we have know idea of the grounds on the Bobo land, they might have foot prints of both Holly and the perp, until they make it into the grass, there very well might be foot prints found down on the trails ledding to the road to. Good trackers can track any body, until the come to rock or water!!!
some thing else that sicken me, is that Clint felt the need to rope off the crime scean and kept people out of that car port, if this is true, LE is not looking so good, i think it was mass confusion at the bobos that day. Holly and the perp were with in mintes, if they would have just went after them. She lost her life on this oversite.
Clint did not rope anything, it was Dana

If this was a local person anything that person did would blend in. No one in that communtiy is going to see anything out of the ordinary if its a local person. It wouldn’t be off the wall to see someones car parked on the side of the road because they went hunting. In other words a local wouldn’t stick out. Just my two cents
Is there a place called Tucker farm near there {Bobo}. If so, is there caves on the property? Check them out. I am sort of pyshic.
I am a victims advocate, so I feel that such comments are ill-intentioned and a way of re-victimizing a victim in this instance, although I am giving the benefit of the doubt. I answered the query about “non-grieving” at length previously, based on my professional experiences and I feel that is more than sufficient to allow one to take into consideration.

I am confused by your response.
What are you giving the “benefit of the doubt” in regards too?
What is “more then sufficient” to take into consideration?
Sorry I dont want to comment out of context here.
Nobody can when you do not provide the comment and the response with a link.
B
Opinion, you must provide a link to quotes, period. You cannot snip one from months ago with no context.
Or, if it is as I suspect, and your intent is simply to troll, do so elsewhere.

But it is important to copy the entire quote.
Regarding post #16…..you would think that Dana (and Clint’s) time immediately following the abduction would have been better spent leading search teams down the logging road/trail and out onto the major roads, and helping LE set up roadblocks along the roads leading away from the property.
After all, who would know the woods/property/area better than they?
They were prohibited from going into the woods.
B
Blink, right.

I got the person wrong, when i said it was Clint that rope it off. Sorry.
Well, the culprit had to get in…without being seen by anyone with a working mind and then with baggage he had to get away. Holly resisting and possibly fighting with him.
People were on it quick. Eyes were open and phones were ringing.
To have him and her disappear into thin air would suggest he was able to escape without the limit of baggage.
Conclusion: She is still there.

—————————————————————–
Hindsight may be 20/20, but it would take one helluva strong person to stop me from going after my loved one. Maybe they prohibited them for their protection, but chasing them down would have been the first thing to do if at all possible.
It was not possible, and again, I say, we have no idea what we would do in a DUPLICATE situation, and again I say, all details of that morning have not been made public.
B
I would think that Clint and possibly the neighbor who stopped by, would have been in the woods even as they made their calls…a tremendous amount of self-control, or something, kept that from happening before LE showed up. I’ve never heard of anything like it, in fact.
Clint WAS in the woods before LE got there, with a weapon, his sister and her abductor were gone by then.
When LE arrived, as is protocol, he and the other family members were divided and asked for statements.
LE knew it was likely ( or knew and has not been released) that the abductor was armed, and this could have been a walking trap to anyone heading into the woods, thus the 30 minute wait for anyone to go into the woods.
It is LE’s job to do an immediate RISK ASSESSMENT for themselves and any SAR, and in that regard, I think they did a good job. Trust me when I tell you, these investigators have their hands full trying to exclude folks.
Decautur County was ill-equipped for this case, but I give them kudos for initial search efforts because I give them poor marks for containing information, and not conducting properly supervised SAR efforts.
That said, many people with ATV’s or other resources spent days looking for Holly and they are to be commended regardless of some assclowns activities on searches.
B
#25, Edward “Conclusion: She is still there”. I’ve asked a couple of times and know that it’s an open investigation, but has the ground been grid-searched within 1 to 5 miles of the Bobo’s home? I think this takes some experts to do this type of search and I have never heard that any experts were called in to do it.
I do not know if this has been done, or if it had been determined early that there was too much contamination of the search areas for it to be effective, but the first order of business would have been to draw a 25 mile radius around the area, and engage SAR thermo and geo spatial imaging technology to at least exclude any open areas, and possibly drone use for anything needing more of a low lying view.
Because of the amount of volunteer based searches, I am under the assumption it was not, or it was not fruitful.
B
Blink
Do you know if any of the houses were searched or just property. I know you would have to get premission to search someones house. I am just wondering because Clint saw them go in the woods they only searched the woods. Just my two cents
There were many properties searched, including outbuildings, homes and vehicles.
B
Sorry blink
That should say did they only search the woods because clint saw them go into the woods.
I remember early rumors that Clint went after Holly and the abductor was armed and threatened to kill Holly if Clint came after them. This has generally been discounted as an unfounded rumor. In light of LE’s initial efforts to keep people out of the woods, I wonder if there is actually some basis in truth for this.
LE stated that Holly went into the woods “in fear for her life”, yet Clint’s description of the event didn’t describe that. His actions plainly suggest that she did not appear “in fear of her life” while walking towards the woods.
I suspect that one of the reasons CB’s account of the event seems so strange is that very important information about that day’s events are being kept secret at the request of LE.
Georgia Dad, that is correct as I have been trying to get through to so many that found the account “incredible”. It was not until the family offered this information directly that I was willing to confirm it, as it is case sensitive.
B
But Clint was armed as well…
We have many unsolved cases in the United States.
It comes down to LE politics and protocal and a lack of common sense.
Who pays the price for this is the family.
LE ? They have nothing.. or they would have an arrest.
It really is just that simple.
@ Edward,
I respectively disagree. I do think LE/TBI have something. I believe they have a pretty good idea, but unforuntely due to complexities of who all is involved they have to have a sealed tight case before they make an arrest. I strongly believe this is tied to something else, that is much bigger than any of us can imagine. I don’t feel they were prepared for this…
*Respectfully* not respectively
Sorry, was multi-tasking!
If it is true that Clint followed Holly and the perp into the woods, with a weapon, and was stopped because the perp threatened Holly, then I guess it is a good sign that the perp didn’t kill Holly, or Clint, at that time. Maybe he was determined to take her alive.

I agree with you that le has something. The question is what they have and who they have it on. Perhaps this person is someone that has important connections. Then you have to ask what person has that kind of connections that has a grudge against the bobo’s. Then you have to ask who lives close by that would know them woods and have them kind of connections. Just a few thoughts. Just my two cents

And if true I would think Clint would have gotten a good look at the person. And again, if true, it makes me think Clint does not know the person, so what does that say about it being someone local?
I commented yesterday Clint did not encounter them in the woods, he only ever saw the suspect from the back, and his profile outline in the garage.

Thank you for the clarification Blink, and sorry I must have missed that the first time around.
I have been following this story from day one and never have been able to put everything together but now i’m thinking maybe Clint’s story where he said she was dragged into the woods was actually correct and she was already dead before she left the yard.
The last search I was on,… We knew who the suspect was because the news media called the person out. Yet there was not enough evidence for LE to make an arrest on the suspect.The suspect was actually free and running around. We searched for the victim with a professional search team and local volunteers based on info available. I think it was 10 weekends or so of searches. We were in the right area but we were not finding the victim. It was frustrating for the family and searchers. Finally LE found something that allowed for an arrest and a search warrant. Once inside the suspects home LE was able to find things that put us much closer to where we should have been searching.. Then success. We found the victim.
If LE knows Who.. They should do what they do best. Let the cards fall were they will. The family needs to know where their daughter/sister/loved one is.
I am an advocate for finding the lost and missing, to bring answers to the family. I am not trying to solve crimes. That is the job of LE.

Brilliant and Bravo.
We all have our place, and we all stand for the victim first.

Jan..
That is possible.
Blink, On Nov. 2 you said that Clint WAS in the woods with a weapon before LE arrived. That is why I assumed Clint had followed Holly and the perp into the woods….
OK…I went back and re-read the whole day’s comments twice. Clint went into the woods…but did not have any contact or encounter with the perp and Holly. I suppose they were gone by the time he got out there.
#44 – So, if the perp was already gone when Clint went after them then I assume that the perp had help by means of a motorized vehicle or someone else waiting with a motorized vehicle in order to escape quickly. It would be very difficult to move an injured girl through the thick woods quickly without an escape hatch (yeah, I watched LOST).
Over on Topix, it provides a Facebook link, http://www.facebook.com/notes/melanie-william… that lists numerous women missing from Tenessee, basically one each month, all look similar, and many missing from model mayhem:
Christiana Fesmire missing since 7/1/11 (on model mayhem)
Lisa Renee Davis since 2009 (on model mayhem)
Robyn Garner in Aruba (on model mayhem)
Kayla Croft since 2010 (on model mayhem)
Tia Payne from AZ (on model mayhem)
Holly Bobo (has a cousin who until recently was on model mayhem)
Mistaken identity?
Very strange – wonder if Gary Giordano is being looked at for any of these others?
Thanks Jack
It sure looks serial… Hard to ignore the numbers
The facebook link does not appear to work

State and Lewiston Police say they have arrested a Lewiston man in connection with the death of a woman missing since July.
Buddy Robinson murdered her by drowning her in a bathtub

I live in IL and in the news is the story of Kelli O’Laughlin. She was 14 and came home form school and interrupted a burglary in progress. The burglar chose to end her life. Her mother came home from work and found her daughter. The murderer stole Kelli’s cell phone and sent cruel text msgs to an already devastated mother.
There is something about Holly and Kelli that strikes a chord. Evil should not find you at home. Home should be a safe place.
Prayers that something will be found to connect the dots in Holly’s case.
What I see is various men attacking. So this is not serial.
One model was murdered and the suspects family said this kid had never even been in a fist fight. Not violent at all, yet Miss Davis is dead and so is he the suspect.
“If I can’t have you nobody will”
Many murders over history of mankind have happened on that thought.

Something is in the water
