The I-Team takes a closer look at the suspects in the Holly Bobo case
You've heard about these three men: Zach Adams, Jason Autry and Mark Pearcy.
All are charged in connection with the Holly Bobo case, but in an exclusive interview with the Channel 4 I-Team, the ATF says all three suspects all share a dark secret: They're involved with one of the most violent white supremacists groups.
"Because they are all associated with the Aryan Nations, either members or associates, I believe they do know each other," said ATF Special Agent in Charge Jeffrey Fulton.
The ATF says Adams, Autry and Pearcy were already on the feds' radar for their connection to the underground gun trade and the Aryan Nations, an organized group that does much of its business from inside prisons.

If the ATF has been investigating these three men since 2010, did the ATF know about their involvement in Holly's murder and waited to arrest them until they could build their ATF case?
I hope not, after what Holly's family has gone through, but it wouldn't surprise me to hear that that's what happened.

**NO CONFIRMATION OR LINK TO HOLLY AS OF YET**
I'm posting this because the location is close to the property that has been searched in Holly's disappearance (near the home of Zach Adams):

Another article states it is less than 15 miles from the Adams property that was searched:

Thanks, JsMom.
I think it would be too much to expect this to be a terrible coincidence.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is on the scene in Decatur County investigating the discovery of human remains.
Decatur County is the same county where 20 year-old Holly Bobo disappeared in 2011.
NewsChannel 5 has confirmed a hunter found a human skull not far the home of Zach Adams.
Adams and 39-year-old Jason Autry are both charged with kidnapping and murder in the Bobo case.
Holly Bobo was last seen at her family’s home in Darden on the morning of April 13, 2011, when her brother told authorities he saw a man in hunting clothes leading the 20-year-old into the woods around the family home.
The TBI strongly stated they are not linking the remains to the Bobo case at this time.
NewsChannel 5 has a crew on the way and will update the story when more information is made available.

You're welcome, HotD. Yah, this don't sound good. Local news is heading to the scene now.
Just seen your above post.
RE: Holly Bobo, 20, Tenn. missing. & Karen Swift - JsMom - 09-08-2014
No new details as of yet..
DECATUR CO., Tenn. - A skull discovered in the woods in Decatur County has been taken in for DNA testing at the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation crime lab in Memphis. Authorities said there was no immediate evidence to link it to missing nursing student Holly Bobo.
Investigators will be back on the scene Monday in a remote area just off I-40 in the small community of Holladay.
Officials said two people out digging for the herb ginseng discovered a human skull Sunday. Officials said the skull was found lying on top of the ground.

The praising of this women coming forward is funny to me. Why has SHE NOT been charged with an accessory after the fact? If she in fact saw a video of Holly being raped, WHY THE HELL did she wait until NOW to come forward?
Waiting until the other were arrested, afraid this might fall back on her because she is more involved than she is stating...is what I believe.
If this women has known them for 19 years, was shown a video of Holly being raped and knew she was missing....WHY is she not arrested? I can not wrap my head around this one!

Strategy, maybe?
If there is no physical evidence and no other witnesses connecting Holly's abduction to Adams and Autry, prosecutors might really need King and give her immunity.
But, I agree. If she's telling the truth, she's a piece of work for waiting so long to come forward. I understand being afraid of those guys, but I personally couldn't keep that kinda information to myself no matter what.
RE: Holly Bobo, 20, Tenn. missing. & Karen Swift - LytoMe - 09-08-2014
In thinking more about it, if her son is in jail already and she knew she would be in trouble...this is why she held out.
But at the same time I do not feel she should be THANKED or praised for "coming forward". She has ulterior motives I am POSITIVE!
RE: Holly Bobo, 20, Tenn. missing. & Karen Swift - HairOfTheDog - 09-08-2014
There is one other known missing person in Decatur county.
Whether or not the skull found this weekend belongs to Holly will be determined by DNA testing -- the results could be back by tomorrow, Tuesday.
According to news reports, the skull was found about 6 miles from Zachary Adams' home.
If the skull belongs to Holly, it will strengthen the prosecutors' case against Adams and Autry. I haven't heard of any physical evidence of Holly's death being found in the searches of the Adams' property.

Oops. I wasn't aware of that or I wouldn't have made the comment about coincidences.

DECATUR COUNTY, Tenn.- The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation announced Monday night that DNA testing on a human skull found in Decatur County tested positive as belonging to Holly Bobo.
The skull was discovered Sunday in a remote area just off I-40 in the small community of Holladay. It was found lying on top of the ground by two hunters out digging for the herb ginseng.
Bobo had been missing for three years. She was last seen the morning of April 13, 2011 at her family’s home in Darden. Her brother told authorities he saw a man wearing camouflage taking her into the woods near their home.

Thanks for the update, Js.
I'm sorry Holly's dead, but I'm so glad a defense attorney won't be able to claim that Holly ran off or was let go.
This is a really good development for the District Attorney's office.

He'll yah. Come on death penalty case! I'm so glad her family may now have some closure. I don't know why but I had a strong feeling the remains were those of Holly. Gut instinct, I guess. This is one trial I'm going to be keeping up with. Close to home.

I wonder if the Bobos will push for a long drawn-out death penalty case and the attached appeals process, or if they'd prefer life in prison without parole if prosecutors could secure guilty pleas?
According to this article, the DA's office has voluminous evidence against the suspects. I hope so. If so, they've done a good job keeping it under wraps.
Snip:
Recently elected District Attorney Matt Stowe said his office was preparing to seek a possible death penalty in the case. A decision is expected in coming weeks, after he consults with the Bobo family, he said.
"The evidence is voluminous," Stowe said. "We are going to make sure that everyone who played a part in the heinous crime that has attacked the peace and dignity of the state of Tennessee faces a consequence for that."
Stowe said the Bobo family would be issuing a statement Tuesday.
Before the news conference Monday, the Bobo family was trying to remain calm and let authorities do their job, said their attorney, Steve Farese.
"You can imagine the emotional roller coaster that they've been on," Farese said.

Looking for a link now but the family is asking to grieve on private and the sheriff believes more arrests are forthcoming.
