Is the Holly Bobo Disappearance a Cold Case?

The disappearance of Holly Bobo is approaching its first anniversary in less than a week, and it doesn't appear that the investigation is leading anywhere definitive. In fact, the case is still as weird as it was from the first day with no definitive evidence pointing to the missing Tennessee woman's whereabouts. The suspicious family members and ambiguous statements made by the TBI still haven't appeared to diminish over the past 11 1/2 months of her case. So what's going on?

The newest update in the Holly Bobo case isn't anything to do with the investigation, but with remembering the missing nursing student, who was 20 years old when she vanished from her home in Darden, Tennessee. A motorcycle ride is expected to run through the area in remembrance of the missing woman, and a memorial will be held at Corinth Baptist Church next week as well. However, it's unnerving that there haven't been any new details in the actual case.

There haven't appeared to be any publicized leads in the case since the first couple of months of the woman's disappearance. What stands out most in this entire story is the behavior of Holly's brother and other family members regarding what happened to her on the morning of April 13, 2011. Clint Bobo alleges that he watched his sister leave the family property with a man dressed in camouflage hunting gear. First, it was reported that the woman was "dragged" from the property. In fact, upon early investigation it was deemed that there were no "drag marks" leaving the property. The story coming from Clint Bobo changed apparently to her being "led" from the property, and then the story evolved to her simply "walking away" but under duress? Reports have said these inconsistencies are due to poor communication between investigators and the Bobo family, but is that really acceptable? Is "poor communication" ever acceptable when a person's life is hanging in the balance?

Once this case reaches a year old, it could be technically classified as a cold case. However, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation claims that this is an actively open case that is still being investigated. There are no status changes as far as persons of interest go, and they have never named an actual suspect in Holly's disappearance. Could it be because they do in fact have their eyes on the suspicious individuals in this case, but are not yet ready to release their findings? Without Holly it's hard to go further with an investigation, so it's probably safe to say that we may never know anything until this young woman is found -- and how will she be found?

It could be years before there is a break in this case, if ever.

It's doubtful that she'll ever be found this late unless she chose to disappear and hide her identity. And why would a young woman in school learning what she planned on her career being do anything to hinder that?

I doubt the Tenn SBI is ready to throw the case files in the closet yet.

Dear friends, I live in Tennessee, and most people here do not communicate their problems, sufferings and complaints. This case is like the 9-11 inside job false flag terrorism done by Bush (The intellectual criminal of that crime). But like many crimes in America, after a while people forget about it. Because USA is a very existentialist society that only lives in the present and tends to forget all historical events.

My theory about Holly Bobo is that she was a victim of an organized mafia cartel that steals beautiful women, brainwashes them and sells them as sex-machines, sex-slaves to super rich corporate elites of USA, Europe and other countries

The problem of crimes in America, is that authorities, sociologists and criminologists do not investigate the underlying roots and causes of crimes. They only tackle the *consequences* and effects of crimes. And they think that by punishing patsies, space-goats and criminals they will lower the crime rates of this country.

Until we don't search and investigate the underlying roots and causes of murder, serial killing, sex-trafficking, rapes, robbery, hate-crime (Like the assasination of Trayvon Martin) we won't be able to lower crime levels in America.

And I think that one of the major reasons of rapes and child abductions done by sex predators and many other crimes is the ultra-individualist philosophy of life in America.

I hope people wake up in order to lower crime rates in a scientific manner. Which is going to underlying roots of crimes. Getting depressed, sad and praying to God won't lower the amount of abductions and missing persons in this country.

THERE HAS TO BE A SCIENTIFIC SOLUTION FOR THIS TYPES OF CRIMES. AND US AUTHORITIES AND CRIMINOLOGISTS ARE NOT DOING THEIR BEST TO TACKLE THE UNDERLYING ROOTS AND CAUSES OF ABDUCTION OF BEAUTIFUL WOMEN AND CHILDREN IN USA !!!

Thanks
