One year since Holly Bobo vanished has been a 'nightmare'
Almost one year after a 20-year-old nursing student was abducted from her rural Decatur County home, still no leads have been strong enough to find her.

Karen Bobo, her mother, has not returned to her teaching job at a local elementary school. Instead, she works on mailing flyers to churches, asking for prayers.

“The whole year has just been one continuous nightmare, that you go to bed with every night and wake up with every day,” Bobo said.

On Friday, April 13, there will be a motorcycle ride, prayer vigil and balloon release in Holly’s honor.

Search for Holly Bobo continues
On April 13, 2011, UTM nursing student, Holly Bobo, was taken from her home in Decatur County, Tenn. It has been two years since Bobo was last seen.
According to police, Bobo’s brother said he saw a man in camouflage clothing leading his sister through the yard to a wooded area behind their house. State and local authorities coordinated a massive search that inspired the volunteer efforts of hundreds of people. Holly’s story was also featured on “Good Morning America” and “Nancy Grace.”
"You always hear of people being kidnapped, but you don't actually think it could happen to you or someone you care about. However, if it can happen to Holly, then it can happen to anyone. She is the most careful, responsible person you will ever meet. I never, in all my life, imagined that I would get the call that my friend had been kidnapped, especially Holly,” said Jill White, close friend of Bobo.
