Missing Holly Bobo: Break In Case As Investigators Arrest A Man & Search Farm Near Home Where She Disappeared
March 3 2014, Published 3:10 p.m. ET
Holly Bobo’s family has been desperate searching for her since she was taken from her home in 2011 and now investigators may finally have a break in the case, having made an arrest that may be related to the case and searching property that is just 15 miles from the home from which she disappeared.
The blonde nursing student was last seen in 2011 by her brother walking away from her Tennessee home into the woods with a man wearing camouflage, whom he mistakenly thought was her boyfriend at the time.
There have been no signs of the cousin of country music singer and Survivor contestant Whitney Duncan since her disappearance but the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and the Federal Bureau of Investigation have been searching a farm near her home, bringing in cadaver dogs and a small Bobcat excavator machine to scour the property, but have indicated that they believe Holly is still alive.
TBI Director Mark Gwyn held a press conference on Friday, February 28, stating the two agencies “Began executing search warrants in Decatur and surrounding counties. We're also conducting several interviews in Decatur and surrounding counties."
