PARSONS, Tenn -- In the Wednesday abduction of 20-year-old Holly Bobo, residents of rural Parsons, Tenn., need to look among their own, say officials with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation.
TBI spokeswoman Kirsten Helm said citizens should think back to between 7:40 and 8 a.m. Who was wearing camouflage on the morning she was led, presumably by force, into the woods from her parents home on Swan Johnson Road?
"This person may be acting with increased anxiety and stress," Helm said from a command center outside the Decatur County Fairgrounds. "He may have cleaned out a car or ATV, reported one missing or sold one unexpectedly."
More than 1,300 volunteers, many of whom have been present every day of the search, checked in to help comb the area for Bobo.
Authorities drastically widened the search area today to include regions between Interstate 40 and Gooch Road, about 10 miles south, as well as Natchez Trace State Park in neighboring Henderson County and a business district also along I-40.
Helm said authorities decided today not to eliminate anyone from a potential list of suspects, including Bobo's 25-year-old brother, Clint, who was present at the time of the attack, and her boyfriend, both previously ruled out.
"Both her brother and her boyfriend have been nothing but cooperative," Helm said again, "but we can't afford not to keep our minds open. Every detail counts."
The Shelby County Sheriff’s department on Saturday sent four full time officers, including a captain and a lieutenant, and 16 reserve officer/volunteer personnel with search dogs to help in the search. Sheriff William Oldham met with local officials to offer support and whatever services his Department could provide, according to Shelby County Sgt. Mickey Keaton .
