I was just reading Holly's missing poster. I wish we knew more about what she was wearing that day, such as type of shoes and if she was wearing any jewelry. I don't see a description of her purse or backpack on the poster either.

I have also been curious about what kind of shoes she was wearing as it would have some bearing on how she'd be able to navigate through the woods. MOO

I haven't seen it on her flyers, but I keep seeing in the media reports that she was wearing a pink shirt, blue jeans and sneakers.

ETA: Let me rephrase after a quick Google. Midsouthnewz.com is running all of their reports and atricles with that description, everyone else is limiting it to pink shirt and light blue jeans. Sorry about that. It's only one media source reporting on the shoes, so I'd take it with a grain of salt.

Surely there have to be more clues to the "camo man," too.

Was he wearing a hat? If so, what did it look like? If he wasn't wearing a hat, then we should have a report of approx. what his hair looked like? Was it brown and shaggy, or short and blond? A mullet? A buzz cut? Even from the back, these details would be helpful.

Exactly! Are'nt we looking for this man as well as Holly? The public should know as many features as possible. You would think.

If Clint wasn't suspicious of the guy then he may not have taken any notice of specific details. I probably wouldn't have noticed to be honest, unless I had reason to make a note of what he looked like.

From the lack of information it seems her brother may not have gotten that good a look at him, therefore only the general description of his size and what he was wearing. And he initially believed it was her b/f, correct? MOO

The only one that saw him was the brother and from what we have been told it was from a distance. IMO he didn't see his features (at least from what we know). How can LE put out a description if there isn't one except for aprox height, weight, and wearing camo??? And, as for HS...her attack took place in the dark. She dropped the lantern when he scared her. On her FB page she said she never got a good look at him....so again....how could LE put out a description?

But if Holly's brother mistook the perp for her boyfriend, said perp has to have roughly similar looks. I mean height, body type, colour and lenght of the hair (if he wasn't wearing a hat). Am I right?

Or the perp could merely be of similar height, or have a similar way of walking, or the bf could often dress in camo, and the brothers perceptions never got further than that point of observation.

Unless I'm mistaken, we also don't know whether or not the brother(for sure) wears glasses or contacts, we don't know what window he saw them through (if it was kitchen or bathroom it might have been fogged over or even frosted or otherwise altered glass), we don't know how far away they actually were from the house when he saw them. He was able to give height, weight, and dress. That might be all he saw, and that wouldn't seem odd to me at all, if that's all he saw. JMO.

Members of the Four Rivers K-9 Search, Rescue and Recovery Team, based in Symsonia, will be helping Decatur, TN officials in the search for Holly Bobo.
Bobo was last seen on April 13 as she was being led away outside her home in Decatur by a man wearing camouflage clothing.
Tennessee Emergency Management officials contacted the team for help in the search Friday.
Chief Sandra Green along with five other team volunteers headed to Decatur Friday to assist in the search effort. Five of the team’s trained canines specializing in cadaver, tracking/trailing and air scent will also be used in searching for Bobo.

Organizers encourage teams on foot to return. Less than 100 have registered, reports say.

I think he got a quick look at someone who appeared to be her boyfriend and didn't think much more of it until later. He may not have noticed details like hair or whatnot from a distance. MOO

Many of the descriptions say:

Pink Tee Shirt
Light Blue Jeans
Tennis Shoes (kinda vague but its a start)

It's so puzzling. On one hand, if Mr. Bobo saw the guy's face at all AND the abductor was someone they weren't already eyeing, I think they'd put out a composite sketch. Then again, if they already had a good idea of who it was, they'd probably release that info because motel employees and convenience store clerks would be a good source of tips. In any case, they must not have enough information that they think would be helpful to release.

Or he got a good look and relayed the detailed description and information to LE and LE is keeping that information close to the vest and not releasing those details to the public.

Clint only saw the guy from the back, no visual of the guy's face, at all. I think they've released everything Clint was able to tell them.

One could assume they know who and where this guy is...
which of course does not make for good news for Holly, if he is where he usually is and has been for some time now.

Oh, I didn't realize he only saw him from the back. I just can't help thinking there's information they could release that would help. This all reminds me of the Brianna Dennison case. Her murder was solved because the police released the information about the underwear left at the scene (which I think normally police would not divulge). The murderer's girlfriend's best friend alerted police to him. A random person paying attention to information released by the police saved the lives of countless women.

I know there was some speculation that the brother may have worn contacts and didn't have them in at the time he saw Holly being led/dragged away. But if he could see enough to know he was wearing camouflage, then I'm guessing he could see well enough without his contacts anyway.

Knowing what hair color or style would help.

Yes, but I think that if that man had some features significantly different than Holly's boyfriend (much higher, shorter, thinner, fatter, very long hair, or something like that), brother's brain wouldn't send him that message "Hey, there walks Holly with her bf". KWIM?
