NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The family of missing nursing student Holly Bobo is pleading with people to search their properties in an effort to find the woman who is believed to have been abducted outside her Tennessee home by a man dressed in camouflage.
The family released the plea in a statement sent to the media on Tuesday, nearly three weeks after Holly Bobo's April 13 disappearance.
Investigators have said they believe the student was abducted by someone familiar with the rural area outside her home near Parsons, midway between Nashville and Memphis.
A spokeswoman for the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation said police are still searching for Bobo, but the search has been scaled back.
She said authorities searched two places over the weekend, including one in nearby Henderson County.
Authorities have been tightlipped about the investigation and have released little details about a person of interest or suspect in the case.

The family of Holly Bobo has released a statement today to the Associated Press. I will be tweeting it in moment. #hollybobo
The statement was not released to any television or radio outlets, nor was it released directly to me. Still wondering why.
This statement is said to have come from the Bobo family and relayed through the 'family spokesman'. #hollybobo
Here is the statement, verbatim from the Bobo Family: (following tweets)
"We could never thank everyone enough for all the kindness that has been shown to our family during this difficult time" #hollybobo Pt. 1
"Thanks for your search efforts, donations, and especially your prayers for Holly and our family. I know everyone's daily life, routines...
..and work must go on, but ours never will, until Holly is back with us. Please continue to pray for Holly's safe return, keep your eyes...
"..and ears open and search your own property. Please pray for Holly's strength and everyone who is still searching for our precious Holly"
"Holly Bobo's Family" <end of verbatim>#hollybobo
The statement was released to a source or reporter within the Associated Press. The letter was then released to us, as an AP member station. -Will Nunley, News Anchor WBBJ tv Jackson, TN
