TN - Holly Bobo, 20, Darden, believed abducted 13 April 2011 - #4

[iluvmua]

What if the perp(s) duct taped her mouth, tied her hands and/or feet together and put her in the trunk of a car and then took off?

[Emma Peel]

IMO & just the feeling I've had from the get-go.

This was a pre-meditated, Holly-specific, planned, targeted abduction. By now, LE has a short (secret) list of who took Holly. Whoever did this, knew her, knew her family, and vice-versa. IMO, this person was not a stranger/acquaintance.

My feeling is we won't be hearing from the family anytime soon. Holly's Dad perhaps said too much publicly early on and the FBI has put a kabosh on info & media. "Leave the family alone." Holly's Dad said they believe it's someone who knew the family's schedule.

It's likely Holly's brother and those in her close social circle have helped investigators narrow this down a great deal. The brother certainly provided a description of the individual he saw with Holly. LE has description of height, approx weight, gender, and an age range - but has not released this info to the public - likely because they don't need to. LE could very well be watching/observing a short-list of suspects. LE could also know who on the short-list has been "MIA". Finally, blood, hair, skin, and fingerprint forensic results are likely back by now. Expedited processing can be 24 hours.

Let's hope everything comes together in Holly's favor today.

Still praying for Holly & her family, LE & all volunteers & searchers. What a wonderful, dedicated, giving community.

JMHO

I totally agree

You would be surprised. I can pretty much fit myself in my partners oversize tennis tourney bag. You have to be limber to do it, but for a fit girl its not impossible. It is NOT comfortable... When she got the bag we kidded sheesh you could stuff a body in here. Turns out you could.

I just have a feeling this is a young man he was attracted to her maybe felt he didnt have a chance so he took her.

I dont think its anyone hiding in a bunker with a generator and supplies for years,,,,
I think the camo has thrown everyone offff but every kid and male here in southwest fla wears camo girls tooo its just what they wear.

JMO

I could be wrong its just an opinion!
Not so much an opinion its a FEELING!

I agree with your feelings, Eileen. Have they looked on that 5 Road that's to the right on the map from the Hobo house? It looks like a lightening bolt kind of with lots of forks. Looks to be a dirt road from what I can see on the map...Just a feeling from me too.

I'm still leaning towards Stranger Abduction; Possibly a hunter who hunts in the woods by Holly's house, someone who has never met Holly or her family but has seen Holly in those woods hunting and out and about her house.

Not really , a large camping duffle bag, an army issue duffle bag, a 30 gallon ruff neck tote, a large suitcase. An old tent bag.A hunting dog box.

There are lots of things a human will fit in and it not stand out as odd or lead normal people to think a body was in there ,even if they saw it.

Do they do logging there?

Are there any logging roads?

I don't know the address, so I can't see it. Is Swan Johnson Rd the only road near the home?

And he knows the terrain around there.

True - my family has two ATV's. But I was thinking more of the reality of making it that far without being seen or heard and having to cross a few roads as well. There would have to be no obstacles, no big/unpassable creeks, etc - kwim?

http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msa=0...13057&t=h&z=17

ETA: I was doing the math, and at 60mph, it would take an hour (not gonna happen in the woods with an ATV); 30mph would be 2 hours (still not likely, at least a steady pace in the woods); and 15 mph would be 4 hrs. More realistic in the woods but still assuming keeping a steady pace. So they would have to be making pretty good time to be that far away... I don't think it's impossible just not likely... JMHO...

[southern_scout]

And y'all have to remember that it's springtime here. Our woods are very scrubby/brushy and most everything is leafing out already. They aren't just tree-space-tree-space, it's tree-tree-tree with a thick undergrowth of brush in most places. Very dense.

I know right?! especially considering last evening LE put the word out that they would only need 100 volunteers and 20 atvs from 7-noon and afternoon they could use more..

FLIR search last night with helicopter perhaps?

tip called in?

anyone think they may have a person of interest that we are not hearing about?

[concentric]

She's only 5'3" and 110 lbs. is that correct?

[iluvmua]

does kwim mean "Know What I mean"? I've been wondering that

wow... they seem to have concentrated a lot of the searchers into this one park

[LuLa]

This could be a case of another Joseph Duncan type. Someone who watched for days, from a distance, in the woods, till the time was right. Someone, that no one knows anything about.
