:seeya: I like your questions ...
... and I have the same questions.
1st BBM: From what I have read, apparently at one time they were close.
2nd BBM: Now that is one of the many $64,000 questions that I have regarding this case ... I thought we would have found out these answers at trial -- we didn't -- I have more questions after the trial then I did 6+ years ago.
3rd & 4th BBM: I totally agree ... IMO, she was the "link" to the A's ... not saying that she was involved, just linked.
Also I went "digging" in the MSM for references to NB - they are out there from early on in the case IF you can find them.
Here is an excerpt from CNN Nancy Grace Show with a reference to NB:
DNA Results in Holly Bobo Case
Aired April 20, 2011 - 20:00:00 ET
DEBORAH NORVILLE, GUEST HOST: Breaking news tonight as we go live to Tennessee and the continuing mystery of a beautiful nursing student, the cousin of a rising country music star, who has gone missing without a trace. Investigators have turned to roadblocks, stopping Holly Bobo`s neighbors to question them about suspicious activities they might have seen in the area, her last known sighting by her own brother, who says he saw her being led into the woods by a mystery man in camouflage. The brother reportedly found flecks of blood across the lawn, prompting him to call 911. Then Holly`s lunchbox is found discarded in the woods, and reportedly also found, duct tape with blond hair.
........
NORVILLE: Well, for instance, it`s being reported by one magazine that there were flecks of blood in the lawn. Would that be how he`s described it to you?
BROMLEY: He`s not described it to me.
NORVILLE: Has the family shared what he said?
BROMLEY: No. No. We`ve not talked at length about what Clint witnessed that day.
NORVILLE: As you know, we have spoken off-camera with other family members, and Natalie Bobo, who`s a cousin of Holly who`s gone missing, said to us that Clint had indicated that he had taken a polygraph test and passed it. Can you confirm that?
BROMLEY: I don`t know that to be sure. Has the investigators said anything about that?
NORVILLE: Well, this is a family member who has told us, and we`re trying to confirm that with you as the family spokesperson.
BROMLEY: Right. I don`t know that to be factual. That would be something you`d have to talk with the investigators about.
