Holly Bobo, a beautiful young nursing student, vanishes from her family residence in Darden, Tennessee. Her brother, Clint, is the last person to see her as she walks into the woods at the rear of their property with a man in camouflage who seems familiar.
The Holly Bobo murder case resurfaces in court years after a Tennessee man was convicted. A new legal plea has been filed, seeking a retrial based on statements made by a pivotal trial witness who now claims to be retracting his testimony—the same testimony that was instrumental in convicting his associate. Holly’s case has encountered numerous hurdles over the years; could this be another?
When she disappeared, Holly Bobo was a 20-year-old nursing student at the University of Tennessee at Martin, attending the Parsons Center. She resided with her parents and brother. On the morning of her disappearance, Clint, Holly’s brother, was roused by a commotion outside their home.
Believing he heard and saw his sister talking with her boyfriend, he thought nothing was wrong. However, when Clint spoke to their mother, she immediately sensed something was wrong and frantically called 911.
That morning, Holly had woken up at 4:30 a.m. to study for an exam. Around 7:30 a.m., she answered a call from her boyfriend, Drew Scott, who was out turkey hunting.
By that time, Holly’s parents had already left for work, and Clint was still asleep. Twelve minutes later, Holly made her final cell phone call.
