MISSING HOLLY BOBO'S MOM BEGS: 'PLEASE HELP US'

IT HAS almost been four months since a camo-clad man dragged a terrified Holly Bobo into the Tennessee woods. Since then, there have been few traces and few clues as to her whereabouts. Now, her family are desperate to find her. The 20-year-old Tennessee nursing student's disappearance has stymied cops and despite thousands of volunteer hours, her fate remains a mystery.
Her mother Karen Bobo told NewsChannel5: "I'm just doing what any loving parent would do and that is pleading and begging for anyone to come in and help."

On the openline show with hubby Dana and son Clint, Karen Bobo said she has had a hard time understanding the TBI's initial suspicion of Holly's brother. He was the first to be interrogated and the last to see her alive.
Clint Bobo said:  "I spend every day and some effort to try to bring Holly home and I either search or I go around a different local businesses and towns and distribute fliers."
Several callers offered hope and support to the family, including Bo Tuders, the father of still missing Tabitha Tuders. Karen Bobo added Natalie Holloway's mom called Sunday. EXCLUSIVE BOBO FAMILY INTERVIEW

3 MONTHS AFTER KIDNAPPING: WHERE'S HOLLY BOBO?

THREE MONTHS. That's what Wednesday will mark. Three months since pretty blonde Tennessee nursing student Holly Bobo, 20, was snatched from her rural home by a man dressed in camouflage. So far, cops from the TBI appear to have run up against a series of brick walls and the trail--if not frozen--is ice cold. Despite thousands of volunteers scouring the woods near her home, clues have been few. For the family of Holly, the last three months have been agonzing and has also left her famous cousin, country star Whitney Duncan, in pieces as well.
Holly's mom Karen said: "Sundays are the hardest days because we were together, our whole family, all day long. Usually on Sunday we were doing things."

Her brother Clint had witnessed the abduction.
TBI Agent John Mehr said: "He actually had an arm holding her, so we feel she knew she was in fear of her life, so she was compliant with his commands."
Cops say Clint Bobo thought the camouflaged man was her boyfriend.  Investigators were initially not clear about how long it took her brother to realize something was wrong, but said said it did not take long. "A very, very short time," one law enforcement official said.
Aside from some items belonging to Holly that were discovered nearby, they have found nothing. And now hope has given way to terror. The next act in the friendly Tennessee woman's disappearance too terrible to contemplate. Detectives believe her abductor knew her and the area.
There is an $85,000 reward for information leading to Holly Bobo's location and the arrest of her abductor.  She is 5-3 and weighs 110 pounds with blonde, shoulder length hair and blue eyes.  Holly Bobo was last seen wearing a pink shirt and light blue jeans. Anyone with information should call the TBI at 1-800-TBI-FIND. MORE ON HOLLY BOBO DISAPPEARANCE

HOLLY BOBO, LAUREN SPIERER: CHILLING SIMILARITIES

TWO STUDENTS. Two blondes. Both petite. Both 20-years-old. Two young women in the prime of their lives. Two victims? The disappearance of Indiana University student Lauren Spierer on June 3 has chilling similarities to the mysterious April kidnapping of Tennessee nursing student Holly Bobo. They look eerily the same and it is raising frightening questions.
Lauren's mom Charlene said: "I can't even tell you what it's like to get that phone call that your daughter is missing." Holly's mom
Karen adds: "I think of her. I love her."
Despite intense efforts in Tennessee and Indiana for the recovery of both young women, cops appear to have hit brick walls despite hundreds of man hours and  hundreds of volunteer searchers. There has been no arrest in either case, although persons of interest have been questioned.
The similarities between the two are so great that many have mistaken the photo of Bobo for Spierer and vice versa. More frightening: it's not just these two women, other students missing around the country fit the same description.
Information leading to the discovery of Spierer, the daughter of a prominent New York family, could bring a $100,000 reward. Bobo's cousin is country singer Whitney Duncan. There is an $85,000 reward offered in her case.

"SOME PEOPLE KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO HOLLY BOBO"

 TENNESSEE cops are still refusing to call the Holly Bobo case a homicide and it remains classified as a missing persons investigation.  It’s now two months since the 20-year-old nursing student was abducted from her Decatur County home and cops are still no closer to finding her kidnappers.
Authorities are still searching local areas every week and receive tips every day but so far nothing substantial enough to break the case.  Despite the lack of progress, TBI agent John Mehr insists that the investigation is still a missing persons case and
not a homicide.  While the local community has been helpful, Mehr believes that there are individuals deliberately withholding information that could bring Holly home safely.
 He said: “We know people have that information. Just please call us. There's no doubt in my mind.  There are people who know what happened to Holly, and there may be more than one person involved."
The continued effort has exhausted locals and police alike yet all continue to search.  Members of the small community continually revisit areas of interest in the case in the hope of finding some small clue or lead. Like members of the local community, worn out from anxiety, Highway Patrol officer Lt. Brad Wilbanks hasn’t given up hope.
"We're still waiting on that tip. We're one tip away from finding her," Wilbanks said.

HOLLY BOBO'S FAMILY: 'EVERY DAY IS MORE DIFFICULT'

IT'S BEEN six weeks since Tennessee nursing student Holly Bobo, cousin of country star Whitney Duncan, was kidnapped by a mysterious man in camouflage and there is no sign of her--anywhere. As the trail grows colder and colder her parents Dana and Karen can barely eat and are fighting to keep their spirits up. And their mood is not helped by the fact that county wide searches have stopped.
Family spokesman Kevin Bromley said: “Every passing day that we don’t find Holly is more difficult for the family. But they have not lost hope. They believe their daughter is alive.”
Here's what cops think happened, according to THE TENNESSEAN:
 The day she went missing Bobo put on her bright pink shirt, jeans and black flip-flops and packed her lunch for another day of nursing school at the nearby UT-Martin campus. Her brother, Clint, was still asleep. Their parents had already left for work. At 7:40 a.m., Holly walked to her black Ford Mustang on the long, winding driveway leading to the Bobo family’s rural Decatur County home.

Minutes later, the family’s dog barked, waking Clint. He walked to the kitchen window that faces the expansive, treelined backyard to see what the ruckus was about. A man dressed in camouflage had his sister by the arm, leading her into the woods, he later told the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation.
The psychology student went out to his sister’s Mustang. She was supposed to be on her way to school, he knew. Next to her car, pooled a small puddle of blood and a spilled Coke can.
Wide awake now, Clint Bobo ran into his house and called 911. He called his mother, Karen, a second-grade teacher who usually chatted by text with Holly several times a day. Panicked now, he ran into the woods where he had last seen his sister.
Nothing. She was nowhere. No more blood.
The next day, Holly Bobo’s packed lunch was found about six miles north of her home toward Interstate 40. More of Holly’s belongings were found. Investigators with the TBI aren’t saying how many, or what the items are. They’re also not saying whose blood was next to Holly’s Mustang.

KIDNAPPED HOLLY BOBO'S FAMILY PLEADS FOR INFO

KIDNAPPED Tennessee nursing student Holly Bobo's heartbroken family are making another desperate plea for any information that might bring her home. Detectives have clues but are being tight-lipped on whether they hold any clues to the pretty 20-year-old blonde's whereabouts.
Holly--cousin of country star Whitney Duncan--was snatched April 13 by a man dressed in camouflage.
"We're running leads and talking to people," John Mehr, special agent in charge of the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation in Jackson, told the Jackson Sun.
"We're asking people to please call and give factual information, nothing that is rumor. I'm sure there are people who saw something out of the ordinary like a vehicle parked in the area between 5 and 8:30 a.m."
Cops think Holly was snatched by someone who knew the area around her home. Over the weekend, searchers were in two locations looking for the girl, despite the storms that ravaged the area.
Anyone with any information on the abduction is asked to call the Decatur County Sheriff's Office at (731) 852-3703 or 1-800-TBI-FIND.
