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.

TR, I’m sure that it could although I really don’t understand…. What would be the political motivation for upping the reward? I guess I’m just not thinking that Holly’s parents were that much into politics…but maybe??? As far as the Governor…I’m sure not everyone is pleased about using state money for this reward when there are so many missing. I don’t think J.D.’s family is pulling any string to find Holly…this is all moo…. Sorry if I’m missing the point…I am born and raised in TN *wink*
I meant no offense to anybody from TN
I was just suggesting that sometimes politicians make gestures that help then gain favor in the community or state. If there is a slump in their popularity, they may rally behind a situation to gain public approval. Honestly, I have ZERO idea if that’s the case…I just sort of put it out there as a possibility for why. Regardless, if it helps find Holly, the reason isn’t important.

Just a thought here…thinking about those “recently used outhouses”. Our family has a hunting camp (not in TN though) with an outhouse. I apologize in advance for the “gross” factor here, but I’m wondering if LE has or can get a search warrant to check those outhouses. The chemicals used to maintain one, not to mention the ability to hide something or someone down one, concerns me. I sincerely hope I am really wrong on this.
@ISpy that’s an interesting suggestion. I assume the chemicals used along with the smells in general might throw off scent dogs. I will have to look that up. It’s certainly an out of the way and private place for disposing of a body.

@daydreamer – the misguided belief that a psychopath can be fixed is a large part of what creates that problem. No amount of therapy, counseling, or punishment can change was is born broken.
Agreed.

Though this may be true, there is no excuse for allowing a kid with an issue, like torturing animals, to go without some kind of intervention. Beat their butts, go see a doc, do SOMETHING. It is just plain irresponsible. You either suck up and do your job, or you are totally useless as a parent.
Becca, May 12, 19:43–re the serial killer in Canada (Williams) and his desire to protect his wife from the case facts: sociopaths are all about Control. Clearly it has nothing to do with emotional protection–just about his own spin of the details.
Lovefraud.com is a good website to understand sociopathy as it presents in relationships.
B, there are strange postings on the Holly Bobo Search and Info Facebook page. Can you comment?
Honestly, I do not have the time or inclination to review someone claiming to be a search resource who is posting pictures of alleged search finds.

Also what a lot of people don’t know is they brought down dogs from FBI HQ that can pick up a scent from at least a month back and not even a week went by after this incident they ran those dogs threw everything he owned looking for holly scent and didn’t find anything and those dogs are so accurate and never mess up or miss anything but yet the next day ran thebtwo back up dogs threw it to make sure
They checked his atv’s and all land he owned and all belongings even whent threw his friends house he stayed with that night before
On top of all that he gave them voluntarily his DNA fb info and cell phone records which by cellphone records they can look at what tower your phone was picking up at any certain time and by that you can locate that phone great but to top it off he had a gps thing on there and he didn’t move from 11:00pm to 9:45am
You can’t beet forensics
Blink I know you monitor this blog also so what is your negative take on this proven evidence
And when you donate DNA and such they make you sign a waiver of consent and that I have seen and is public record.

Mmmk. I’m going to channel my Church Lady and get all condescending. Well well well. We’re getting a little ‘adventurous’ with out posts, aren’t we? Twisting and fabricating details only to make ourselves look all innocent and convincing. Slandering those who are closer to the truth than you realize. I wonder who could be behind all the lies? Could it be….SATAN?
What part of this is difficult to grasp? What a complete waste of youth and life. You only get one chance and this his how you choose to live it. There is no going back. What has been said cannot be unsaid. What’s done cannot be undone. There are no second chances in prison. What a sad place to have to reflect on the choices you made and what could have been.

i do think if holly is not alive there was a preplaned place or way to get rid of the body. However that being said with the fact that clint bobo was there i think it messed up the perps plan. Now why you would keep any evidence on you after u commited a crime is just crazy in itself. Personally i don’t think the perps had enough time to dispose of the evidence and thats why some of it they found later
I also think they thought they had more time so more then likely the body has to be somewhere close to where they abducted her in my opion. Thats if she is gone which i dont like to say because you never want to think that.
ispy
i thought about the outhouses to i was wondering if its possible to throw a body down there sick has it may be just wondering if they checked
TR, I apologize if I seemed offended…I really wasn’t at all. Just had to throw that in there and it was meant very lightly. I was really curious as to whether or not I was missing the point to you saying that it could be political. Now I get it…I can just truly be thick skulled sometimes.
I just still feel that if it had anything at all to do with politics that it would have to be more on a local level…I personally don’t have a problem with state funds being used…but I know a lot of people that don’t think that it was cool to raise the reward with state money for one women and not in other cases…ex. Shelley Mooks that dissappeared Feb. 28 of this year. This is very close to were I live. I just feel the difference is that while Holly may have been alive for quite awhile after her abduction, they used it as an incentive to get people to talk…where as Shelley… sorry but it never really looked promising from the beginning… in my opinion.
I don’t think anyone is going to collect the reward money. Surely if anyone had any useful knowledge (outside of people that are in some way involved, either during the actual abduction or in covering it up afterwards)…it would have already been reported. Maybe it has though and we just don’t know????
As I ponder this case I keep thinking about Joran van der Sloot. Entitled golden boy who gets away with one murder, then goes on a gambling junket to Peru and randomly commits another. Just because he could. And then blabbed all over the media in both cases…
Who knows what the two brothers in Aruba who were his friends are covering up? Who knows what his now deceased but well-connected father was hiding? A small island in the Atlantic, a small town in TN.
Wow, the article in the below website link really illuminates the mental disorder afflicting these freaks; describing different catagories of psychopaths. I think the family is not speaking because the guilty would get off on it. They enjoy the pain of others and watching the drama they’ve caused.
I’m curious if they fall into the category of feeling stress and guilt, or feeling nothing at all. I hope we find out soon.

Snipped from the above website link:
The psychopath is a manipulator, who knows exactly what makes us tick and knows how to manipulate and influence our feelings. They have the talent to spot “kind, caring” women.
Mimicry is often used to convince others that the psychopath is a normal human being. He does this to create a false empathy with his victim. The psychopath will try to make you believe he has normal emotions by spinning some sad tale or professing profound, moving experiences; the truth is, most psychopaths go through life as in an incubator, touched by few and having no real compassion for others; but they will lie to convince you that they have normal emotions.
Looks like a thumbprint, not a hickey on his neck.

It is simply a birthmark.

It is hard for me to compare this to that case in Aruba.
I have continued to keep Blink’s reference to the Martha Moxley case in the back of my mind. I am uncertain if perhaps it is just an influential family involved hindering the investigation? Could it be that one brother had the affection of the girl that the other brother wanted to have? Or could it be a family member from a family that is not only known locally but nationally such as in politics? Have we discussed all the possible suspects or is one or more still lurking about?
Good point Ode. Not meant to be superimposed per se, but “nuanced”..

Hi Jeff, of course we’re hoping for the best outcome but fearing the worst. All I was thinking was that after the fiasco of being seen by Clint, I wonder if there was an accessible, yet private, field that had been plowed for planting — someplace where the earth was already disturbed.
I agree that they must’ve thought they’d have more time with her. Just wondering if there’s a place within a perp’s comfort zone and near the trails, shacks, sheds, outhouses, where plowing for crops might have just been done. This thought seemed much more important last night than it does now! I just figured other posters were already carefully exploring shacks, wells, tunnels, etc. in the area.
Hi Blink,
Noticed that the responses have been a bit slower today….could that be a sign that maybe there was a break in the case that you’ve been looking into? Or…is that just wishful thinking??? I know you have your hands full with family, other cases etc etc….just thought I’d ask… (No disrespect intended in regards to response time at all) : )
Do we know who went to “the fights” together? I think some of these boys, if not all, are fans of cage fighting. Scenario: boys go to the fights and watch humans beating other humans to bloody pulps. They get excited by the blood and violence. They try to be like these cage fighters, their idols. They talk and feel each other out as to what their moral boundaries are. They are loose, and a plan is born.
Blink: Thanks for the great information that you’ve shared. You’ve certainly provided more insight in the past week than all other sources combined throughout the whole terrible situation.
I was wondering if you could give us a hint on when we might get a new article from you on Holly’s abduction? I think we’re all ready for more insight into what you know from your sources.
Thanks again!
Good point Ode. Not meant to be superimposed per se, but “nuanced”..

Thank you Blink, “nuance” is how I will take it.
i love your shirt
heh?

Omg I am so sorry. I left your window open and my 5 year old typed a “comment” for you!! The other day she clicked the “report a bug” button on nickjr.com and typed “there’s a butterfly in my room.” Thankfully she didn’t scroll up to read posts on this page!
Very embarrassed
Can’t answer that except to say that my only comments on the case state that I believe unequivocally this is a cop or former cop.
(now where did I put that?)
B
If this guy showed up at tha\ tbi headquaters and said take my dna a thats volunteering not them coming down to get it Second the warrent to get your dna probley is still sealed since this is a active investigation nothing is public yet Cell phones can be left with friends while people are trampinG around in the woods. I am sure someone in search and resuce might know how to get around search dogs but even so i am sure the dogs picked up something Funny thing about dna i am sure them looking around in teh woods for cig buds pop cans food items might not of picked up dna I just don’t understand posted stuff like that if your in innocent person why bother I am sure blink would love to rip that story up but i am glad she is taking the high road and letting it run its course. This could be a ploy just to get blink to revel what she knows
caracac
i think the abandon cabin is where they slept to come down and pull this crime off i don’t think they took her there i think they parked at a friends house and went up there and stayed walked or road the atvs up there. You got to think if they used an atv how long can u keeping in unwilling person on one or if u knocked one out ur not going to be driving around in the woods for long like that. They rode on the outskirts of a clearing by the woods to whatever was close They might of even had prepaid phones they got just in case someone needed to contact them More then likely they left her there and came back later after they planted the evidence away from where they stashed her end of story i hope they end up in jail its coming they know it its closing in
blink,
i don’t know if u covered this case so forgive me for asking you on the holly bobo form but do u think the boys the body found in maine is one of three missing skelton boys that went missing in december form michigan that was a case that i was fairley sad about and troubled by
Blink
Can you share any insight as to when we will hear more from LE? I keep thinking every day, today is the day. Any idea when this will be solved? this family and this town need closure. Also, yes I love your comment re: Clint Bobo he needs to be surrounded with love and prayers!
God bless Holly’s family especially this young man!!
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.

Becca, fans of MMA, mixed martial arts, seem to be the ones that buy up the “afflicted” gear that is shown in a photo that Blink has on here.
When I first saw that pic I thought it had something to do with skin heads, but I found out pretty quick that the reason the guy’s hair is shaved is to keep an opponent from grabbing their hair. Or at least that’s what I’ve been told.

I hope that this case if not being hindered by an influential family.
The Bobo’s deserve justice just like anyone else.If this is in true the case and I lived in that community I would call it out as I see it.There are DANGEROUS perps running around in that community.The more
they get away with the more power they will think thy own.It will not stop here believe me on that one.History will repeat itself.
Blink are all the trolls in hiding or can they just not handle your questions presented to them?
Only you and I can see it, it is definitely private.
Will get back to you, and thank you.

I don’t know if you have been following this site but i have been on it for a while. Its kind of interesting you have one perp who is telling friends and family not to mention himself to come here to defend himself. The other possible perp has not been on here to defend himself that i know off. So if the other one comes on here i am sure blink well be glad to share what she knows so just keep following

Thanks.
Geeze, my bad, I thought that response included the original comment. No, definitely not, I was referring to the LI prostitute killings.

Apologies if this has already been discussed, but can someone help me out and tell me what is being referred to as the ‘R’ house? I have some ideas, but I hope I’m wrong…
erin
i can’t answer that u have to ask someone local I have seen people write that its some broken down house that one of the perps takes girls to have sex with them. Then someone posted it was the r house so i don’t know if it was a joke or real maybe someone local knows better but thats what i read on one post about it
@ Erin,
It’s what you think it is. It’s a mortifying name. You know…boys will be boys. How to take that, I do not know. These young men seem to find it amusing.

Erin,
There are supposedly uninhabited cabins throughout the Parsons/Darden region where certain young men take young women to rape them. Those cabins are referred to as “rape houses.” Yes, unsavory to say the least.
i think an arrest needs to be made then maybe holly can found
@jeff,
Blink has indicated a few times that arrests WILL be made. I believe that to mean they know who is involved. Evidence is crucial and that takes time to build a case against the abductors. Doing it right the first time means no getting out of loopholes because of a shotty investigation. That’s exactly what we want!
They’re on it and we need to trust that they know exactly what they’re doing. Keep the faith, as Blink always tells us.
absolutely disgusting. but thank you for the responses.
I thknk the term “rape house” is a bad joke name. Apparently most, if not all, of the sexual activity there is consensual.
Although it does suggest that these young men have little respect for their dates. It also suggests that these young women have low self esteem themselves.
Blink,
Can you tell me if these 2 are involved, they refused to let people search their property ftom what ive bee told… idk even know who they are do you?
never mind i guess it wont work
i have the pics saved but i dont have an emailaddress for you
i really want you to see them since they just disappered

Thought I would tell you all about a case here in MI that has SOME similarities to Holly’s. The victim’s (Venus Stewart) estranged husband murdered her in 2008 and was sentenced to life in prison yesterday. He abducted her from her parent’s rural driveway at 7 AM, leaving a tiny amount of blood at the scene. To establish an alibi he got a moron he met on XBoxLive to use his cell phone and credit cards at businesses out of state, after carefully cultivating a big-brother relationship with him. Despite massive searches her body has never been found unfortunatley. However the State Police were able to untangle the complex web of this case and secure a conviction without her body. Like all of you I pray for Holly and the Bobos.
If it is linked, the ‘R’ house would support Blink’s thought that though this may be the perps first abduction, it is not their first crime. They are evil.
r houses? that strikes terror into my very soul. as a parent of two daughters I do not understand how boys, young men, or men could find that amusing or acceptable to say the least.
When a little girl went missing in my area years ago, she had been walking near an abandoned army base that left boarded up houses everywhere. Searchers went through house after house after locals claimed the same kinda thing. Girls taken to abandoned houses and raped. No evidence of that in previous crimes.
She was found an open field in some heavy brush behind some apartments that were full of people and windows visual to that field and nobody had seen anything.. Case still unsolved..
Just saying.. R house ? No way, this is not that kinda thing..
This guy had an agenda. It was not just sex.
jmho
Blink forgive me if you have already addressed this, but I cannot seem to find a response where you did. Can you give any credence to this rumor of rape houses? Is this simply something that grew out of a crazy comment made on some forum? Or, have you heard any reputable sources verify this?
No, I am not aware of any illegal sex offenses occurring in them, as to whether or not they were referred to in the way that has been stated, I do not doubt it, but again, not aware of anything but poor taste behind the naming.
B
Hi Blink, I’ve been lurking here since the beginning when Holly was abducted. What is your opinion on whether or not LE will make an arrest before Holly’s body is found? I know in some cases arrests are not made till a body is recovered(Lacey/Connor Peterson). I guess because it can keep a case from being totally circumstantial? I do not mean to sound unhopeful for Holly – of course we all hope she is alive. Love your work! You sound like a very smart cookie!
