Speaker 3: that a fun last name?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: It is fun.
Speaker 3: I love it.
Speaker 2: Let me tell you a little about her story. And
Speaker 2: before I get started, I just want to invite everybody
Speaker 2: who is listening to go ahead and hit subscribe so
Speaker 2: you'll never miss us.
Speaker 3: Here we go.
Speaker 2: On the early morning hours of April thirteenth, twenty eleven,
Speaker 2: Clint Bobo was woken up by his family's dog going
Speaker 2: crazy at the front window, and when he looked out,
Speaker 2: he saw his sister, Holly and a mystery man having
Speaker 2: a heated conversation in their garage. Now, Clint assumed that
Speaker 2: the man was maybe her boyfriend and Holly was maybe
Speaker 2: dumping him or they were in a fight, but he
Speaker 2: soon realized that this man was most likely not Holly's boyfriend.
Speaker 2: Clint grabbed a loaded pistol and went out to the garage,
Speaker 2: and once inside the garage, Holly and the man were gone,
Speaker 2: and Clint saw bloodstains. He immediately called nine one one.
Speaker 2: Holly was never seen again until September of twenty fourteen,
Speaker 2: when her remains were found about twenty miles from her home.
Speaker 2: But who did this? Why was she killed? Did her
Speaker 2: family ever see justice? The Bobo family lived in Darden, Tennessee,
Speaker 2: just on the banks of the Tennessee River, an hour
Speaker 2: so west of Nashville. Parents Karen and Dana Bobo literally
Speaker 2: built their home with their own hands and planned to
Speaker 2: raise their family there. In nineteen eighty five, Karen and
Speaker 2: Dave gave birth to their first child, Clint, and in
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety they gave Clint a little sister, who they
Speaker 2: named Holly. The Bobo children grew up playing outside ATVing, fishing,
Speaker 2: riding horses, you name it. The Boo family was also
Speaker 2: very active in their local church. Holly would often sing
Speaker 2: at church in the gospel. Holly and her mom, Kieren
Speaker 2: were so close, she really was a mommy's girl. Friends
Speaker 2: and family of the Bobos would talk about how Karen
Speaker 2: and Hollywood literally.
Speaker 3: Finish each other's sentences.
Speaker 2: They had that rare type of mother daughter bond that
Speaker 2: only a few lucky people get to experience in their lifetime.
Speaker 2: Kieren was an elementary school teacher in the area, so
Speaker 2: the family was making an impact on their community. They
Speaker 2: were a wholesome and tight knit family in their community.
Speaker 2: In twenty eleven, Holly was twenty years old and she
Speaker 2: was in the thick of nursing school. Holly had been
Speaker 2: a model student since she was in high school. She
Speaker 2: attended Scott's Hill High and had one of the highest
Speaker 2: GPAs in her graduating class. Holly was one of those
Speaker 2: students in high school that wouldn't even let her friends
Speaker 2: copy her work because she thought it was wrong.
Speaker 3: Oh, I have.
Speaker 2: To take a stand, Shannon, I won't let you copy
Speaker 2: my work feet Holly.
Speaker 3: It's like Noah, that was hard to do, stand up
Speaker 3: to your friends.
Speaker 2: She was a wonderful role model to all those who
Speaker 2: knew her. Friends of Holly said that she was the
Speaker 2: type of girl that inspired others to be themselves and
Speaker 2: not be afraid to be bold.
Speaker 3: So at this.
Speaker 2: Point now, Holly was attending the University of Tennessee. At
Speaker 2: Martin Parson Center for Nursing School. Holly had a very
Speaker 2: serious boyfriend named Drew Scott. Holly and Drew were actively
Speaker 2: planning their future, and Drew had recently given Holly a
Speaker 2: promise ring. On the morning of April thirteenth, twenty eleven,
Speaker 2: Holly was up super early to finish studying for a
Speaker 2: nursing exam that she had later that day. She was
Speaker 2: awake by four thirty am and at the kitchen table
Speaker 2: that Wednesday morning. Her mom, Karen, was up for work
Speaker 2: soon after, and she made Holly a lunch, as she
Speaker 2: did every day, and then kissed her goodbye and told
Speaker 2: her she loved her before heading to the elementary school
Speaker 2: for a day of teaching. After Karen left, the house
Speaker 2: was quiet again. Around seven point forty, Clint is woken
Speaker 2: up by the family dog barking like crazy, clearly barking
Speaker 2: at something. As Clint approached the window, he could hear
Speaker 2: two muffled voices in the garage behind the house. While
Speaker 2: he couldn't totally tell if they were arguing or what,
Speaker 2: he recognized Holley's voice right away and just assumed that
Speaker 2: the other voice, which was male, was her boyfriend Drew
Speaker 2: As Clint peeked through the clothes blinds, he saw Holly
Speaker 2: and who he thought was Drew, crouched down in the
Speaker 2: garage facing each other.
Speaker 3: Now, this was his younger sister.
Speaker 2: He was seeing, and he was assuming she was fighting
Speaker 2: with her boyfriend. So Clint decided not to go out
Speaker 2: there and get involved, but he did decide to call
Speaker 2: his mom. When Clint called Karen, he asked her if
Speaker 2: Holly was going to school that day or if she
Speaker 2: was going somewhere with Drew, because he was looking at
Speaker 2: them in the garage talking about something. Now, Holly's class
Speaker 2: with the exam was scheduled for eight a m. And
Speaker 2: Holly had a drive to college, which was a fifteen
Speaker 2: minute commute, so she would have to leave pretty quickly there.
Speaker 2: From when Clint was looking out the window, Karen instantly
Speaker 2: knew something was wrong because she knew that Drew wasn't
Speaker 2: at their house, he was turkey hunting on Holly's grandma's property.
Speaker 3: Also, Karen knew that Holly would.
Speaker 2: Have typically left for school to give herself plenty of
Speaker 2: time to get there. Karen told Clint to get his
Speaker 2: gun and go out there, and she hung up to
Speaker 2: call nine one one. As Clint went to get his
Speaker 2: loaded pistol, Holly and this mystery man walked through the
Speaker 2: yard into a short trail that led to a logging road.
Speaker 2: Karen was a specially concerned because Clint reported that he
Speaker 2: saw Holly and the man walking together, and she was
Speaker 2: walking on her own, so it wasn't like this dude
Speaker 2: was dragging her anything. When Clint went outside into the garage,
Speaker 2: he saw Holly's black Mustang in the garage. Clint also
Speaker 2: saw a few drops of blood near where Holly and
Speaker 2: the mystery man were crouching. When Karen first hung up
Speaker 2: with Clint, she immediately called nine one one, but this
Speaker 2: call was answered in another county. Karen's school was in
Speaker 2: the next county over, so her original nine one one
Speaker 2: call was routed and answered there, and this definitely delayed
Speaker 2: police response to the home, and police wouldn't arrive at
Speaker 2: the Bobo home until over ten minutes after the first call.
Speaker 2: Karen also called her husband and they both left work
Speaker 2: and hurried back to their house to meet the police. There,
Speaker 2: police and honestly the entire county jumped into action right away.
Speaker 2: There were crews of people all over on horseback ATVs,
Speaker 2: on foot, helicopters.
Speaker 3: You name it.
Speaker 2: The police force and community stopped at nothing to hopefully
Speaker 2: find something out of the ordinary. One of the first
Speaker 2: things police wanted to do was to talk to neighbors
Speaker 2: to see if they heard or saw anything that morning.
Speaker 2: One neighbor, John bab was getting out to the lake
Speaker 2: to do some fishing around seven thirty am when he
Speaker 2: heard what he described as a screech or a squall
Speaker 2: coming from the Bobo yard. John said the sound was
Speaker 2: similar to cats fighting. He also reported that he saw
Speaker 2: a white truck speeding down the road that the Bobos
Speaker 2: live on. Another neighbor named James Barnes, who lived next
Speaker 2: door to the Bobos literally seven hundred feet away, said
Speaker 2: he heard screaming coming from the Bobo yard around seven
Speaker 2: fifty am. James said he had heard a female voice
Speaker 2: yelling and pleading for the other person in the conversation
Speaker 2: to stop. James and his girlfriend were concerned enough about
Speaker 2: the screaming that when they left that morning, they stopped
Speaker 2: at the end of the Bobo driveway with their windows
Speaker 2: down to see if they hurt anything else. When they
Speaker 2: didn't hear anything, they continued on their way, but decided
Speaker 2: to call Karen to check in and make sure everything
Speaker 2: was okay. It's unclear if they got a hold of Karen,
Speaker 2: since at this time Clint was already awake and the
Speaker 2: police had been called. The other thing police prioritized was
Speaker 2: getting a tracker on Holly's phone through AT and T.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: This was successful at first, but the phone was quickly
Speaker 2: turned off and abandoned. For about ninety minutes, Holly's phone
Speaker 2: was moving all around Decatur County. Police saw her phone
Speaker 2: go through her yard, down the trail north on Interstate forty,
Speaker 2: and then turned around and headed south down a different route.
Speaker 2: By nine am, Holly's phone had stopped moving. The leaves
Speaker 2: they were taking very quickly came to dead ends. Police
Speaker 2: also investigated Clint, since he and Holly were home alone
Speaker 2: at the time of her disappearance, he could have been
Speaker 2: making up the whole interaction with Holly and the mystery
Speaker 2: man in the garage.
Speaker 3: Police questioned him.
Speaker 2: And searched his body for any signs of struggle or
Speaker 2: fight that day the day of her disappearance, but nothing
Speaker 2: was found. They also made Clint take a polygraph test,
Speaker 2: not once but twice, and searched his phone and computer,
Speaker 2: all coming up empty handed. Holly's phone was found near
Speaker 2: the area last pinged. Search crews also found her homework, notes, underwear,
Speaker 2: and lunch box, and various places around to Cator County,
Speaker 2: but still no real leads. At this point the investigation,
Speaker 2: the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation was leading the case and
Speaker 2: they had a man named Terry Dykas as the head
Speaker 2: of this Now Terry Dykas felt very very very strongly
Speaker 2: that a local rapist and kidnapper was responsible for Holly's disappearance,
Speaker 2: and this man's name was Terry Britt. Now, this Terry
Speaker 2: Britt character had quite the track record. He was a
Speaker 2: local sex offender who had already spent most of his
Speaker 2: life in and out of prison for kidnapping and rape.
Speaker 2: Terry Britt lived close to the Bobo home and where
Speaker 2: some of Holly's stuff was found thrown on the sides
Speaker 2: of different roads. Terry Britt also matched the description of
Speaker 2: the man that Clint gave, which was a man about
Speaker 2: five ten two hundred pounds. TBI agent Terry Dykas was
Speaker 2: hitting Terry Britt hard. Terry Britt provided TBI with an alibi.
Speaker 2: He said that he was buying a new bathtub from
Speaker 2: a salvage yard with his wife that morning, but neither
Speaker 2: the yard nor Terry Britt had a receipt for proof
Speaker 2: of sale. Still, agent Terry Dykas just had a gut
Speaker 2: feeling that Terry Britt was their guy. Terry Britt's alibi
Speaker 2: was never able to be officially confirmed, and Agent Terry
Speaker 2: Dykis did some more digging on where his wife potentially
Speaker 2: was that morning. When police arrived at the brit home
Speaker 2: on April thirteenth, twenty eleven, both Terry and his wife
Speaker 2: were unloading said bathtub from their truck. However, apparently his
Speaker 2: wife was at work that morning. Terry Britt called her
Speaker 2: and asked her to come home and told her that
Speaker 2: if anyone asked say that she was with him all morning,
Speaker 2: it's a real peach, of course. Search warrants were obtained
Speaker 2: for the brit home and cadaver dogs went to the
Speaker 2: property as well. Even though the dogs signaled at two
Speaker 2: different spots and several items were taken from the home,
Speaker 2: no DNA was found linking Terry Britt to Holly. Agents
Speaker 2: even went as far to wiretap Terry Britt's home and
Speaker 2: his phone in hopes to find out any information. While
Speaker 2: Terry Britt didn't say anything during the time that would
Speaker 2: incriminate him further, the audio that was captured was incredibly disturbing.
Speaker 2: At one point, Terry Britt actually went on to fantasize
Speaker 2: who Holly's real kidnapper was and what they did to her. Really, yeah,
Speaker 2: so one of his buddy whoever talks about Yes, if
Speaker 2: you're a rapist, you're friends with other rapists, so yes,
Speaker 2: right pig. When Terry Britt testified in twenty seventeen, he
Speaker 2: claimed that he had never met or heard of the
Speaker 2: Bobo family until after the news broke about Holly's disappearance.
Speaker 2: Terry Britt said that he found out about the missing
Speaker 2: girl because after the Amber alert went out, a previous
Speaker 2: wife of Terry's called him basically to see if he
Speaker 2: was involved or did it, and he told her he
Speaker 2: didn't rape anyone this time this time just to visualize
Speaker 2: how he's trying to maybe, Hey, look my ex called
Speaker 2: and I told her this, So there you go. I
Speaker 2: didn't do it because I told her I didn't rape her,
Speaker 2: and she called to see you again.
Speaker 3: Fine, I mean I did not this time.
Speaker 1: No me this time girl.
Speaker 3: The rest your head x yeah, pig.
Speaker 2: Police were really going back and forth on Terry Britt.
Speaker 2: Interestingly enough, a woman named Lisa Sanders had actually come
Speaker 2: forward back in twenty eleven and said that on the
Speaker 2: morning of April thirteenth, she was taking her children to
Speaker 2: school when she saw a man with black hair, a mustache,
Speaker 2: and wearing camel driving a tan truck. He looked suspicious
Speaker 2: and it appeared to her that he was attempting to
Speaker 2: hide a potential passenger in his car. Two to three
Speaker 2: days later, Lisa said she saw the same man again,
Speaker 2: this time on a four wheeler. She said that there
Speaker 2: was a white on the back of the four wheeler
Speaker 2: and Lisa decided to follow the man to a nearby cemetery,
Speaker 2: and when she got there, the man and the box
Speaker 2: were somewhere within the woods behind the cemetery. Lisa ended
Speaker 2: up telling her friend Bonnie Ham, and Bonnie called the
Speaker 2: Information hotline. Lisa saw this guy again a few days
Speaker 2: later at the grocery store and just had that gut
Speaker 2: feeling that something was off with him. She then saw
Speaker 2: Terry Britt on the news and confirmed that that was
Speaker 2: the man she had been seeing since the morning of
Speaker 2: April thirteenth. Lisa would never end up taking the stand
Speaker 2: in this trial, although she was potentially a key witness. Now,
Speaker 2: Terry Britt claimed that he had never heard or met
Speaker 2: any of the Bobo members, but he actually had met
Speaker 2: a Bobo family member before. Terry Britt had met Natalie Bobo,
Speaker 2: Holly's cousin.
Speaker 3: At a party.
Speaker 2: Apparently at this party, Terry Britt was being such an
Speaker 2: annoying dickhead that he had offended Natalie multiple times throughout
Speaker 2: the evening that the guy whose house it was had
Speaker 2: to ask him to leave. It's obvious that Terry Britt
Speaker 2: really is up to no good in general and isn't
Speaker 2: a very good person. And while police were looking heavily
Speaker 2: at Terry Britt, the case was otherwise going kind of cold. Now,
Speaker 2: nearly two years after Holly disappeared, her family still didn't
Speaker 2: have answers, and her mom, Karen, was growing desperate to
Speaker 2: know what happened to her daughter, and she decided to
Speaker 2: take matters into her own hands. Karen contacted a local
Speaker 2: private investigator named Shila Waisaki. Sheila became well known in
Speaker 2: the area for solving her roommate's twenty year old cold case.
Speaker 3: Murder.
Speaker 2: When Karen saw Sheila on the news, she reached out
Speaker 2: to see if she could help solve her daughter's case.
Speaker 2: Sheila and her nonprofit called Without Warning, were made up
Speaker 2: of two private investies gators, two retired homicide detectives, and paralegal.
Speaker 2: They worked Holly's case for free and really cracked the
Speaker 2: thing wide open. Sheila and her team gathered all the
Speaker 2: information that the Bobos had been putting together over the
Speaker 2: previous eighteen months, tips, interviews, handwritten notes. By the time
Speaker 2: Halloween rolled around in twenty twelve, Sheila and her team
Speaker 2: had a prime suspect and his name was Shane Austen.
Speaker 2: Shane Austen's name had been brought up early in the
Speaker 2: investigation by police and TBI agents. About a week after
Speaker 2: Holly disappeared, TBI agents were at the Austin property looking
Speaker 2: for any connection between him and Holly. A little bit
Speaker 2: about Shane's history. Shane struggled with addiction most of his life.
Speaker 2: When he was a sophomore in high school, he injured
Speaker 2: his shoulder playing football and was prescribed opioids to help
Speaker 2: with the pain. That was when his battle with addiction began.
Speaker 2: And that's such a hot time, you know, the turn
Speaker 2: from two thousand until about this time. Really, Shane's parents
Speaker 2: described the first time that Shane and Holly had kind
Speaker 2: of unofficially met, more like crossed paths. Both Shane and
Speaker 2: Holly were at a local raccoon hunting festival.
Speaker 1: Oh how fun raccoon hunting.
Speaker 3: Raccoon hunting festival. Nice.
Speaker 2: According to witnesses and just friends and family of both
Speaker 2: Shane and Holly, Shane basically followed Holly.
Speaker 3: Around that night like a stalker.
Speaker 2: Now this was just a rumor, but even his parents
Speaker 2: heard that that evening he was even trying to take
Speaker 2: pictures of Holly on his phone. Shane's mother recalled that
Speaker 2: she didn't know what to believe because Shane had a
Speaker 2: flip phone and she wasn't sure how he would have
Speaker 2: been able to do that. But I'm sure she's a
Speaker 2: bit biased because so many different people reported hearing and
Speaker 2: or seeing Shane themselves. So when agents went to the
Speaker 2: Austin property, they were unable to find any evidence that
Speaker 2: connected Holly to Shane. Now, it's important to note that
Speaker 2: in those first days of Holly's disappearance, the TBI was
Speaker 2: absolutely overwhelmed with tips and information that was pouring in,
Speaker 2: not to mention the extensive search that was taking place
Speaker 2: in hopes to find her alive. So what did Sheila
Speaker 2: and her team find on Shane Austen. The PI team
Speaker 2: thought that Shane was the prime suspect and he worked
Speaker 2: with his three friends, Zach Adams, Dylan Adams, and Jason Autrey.
Speaker 2: We know that TBI agents had been investigating Shane, and
Speaker 2: the PI team also knew that these four boys used
Speaker 2: each other as their alibi, which was a red flag. Karen,
Speaker 2: Sheila and the rest of the BOBO team decided that
Speaker 2: they were going to release the information they had to
Speaker 2: the public in the hopes that TBI agents would take
Speaker 2: them more seriously, but TBI didn't. In fact, TBI went
Speaker 2: on to publicly fight against the BOBO team, saying that
Speaker 2: their private investigation was detrimental to the case. And the
Speaker 2: now two years that Holly has been missing and there
Speaker 2: has been basically no progress in her case, TBI had
Speaker 2: completely stopped looking into Shane and his crew, and they
Speaker 2: were still completely focused on Terry Britt If you remember
Speaker 2: the name of that lead investigator, Terry Dykas. He actually
Speaker 2: said that he stopped investigating those idiots, referring to Shane, Zach,
Speaker 2: Dillon and Jason because it was a waste of his time.
Speaker 2: Terry Dykas went on to actually be removed from the
Speaker 2: case because he had tunnel vision on Terry Britt and
Speaker 2: the case was going cold. Now, even what Sheila and
Speaker 2: her team found, there was no hard evidence. They were
Speaker 2: just pieces together. For this to stand up in court,
Speaker 2: they would need more. And mind you, they still had
Speaker 2: not found Holly's body. That was until September twenty fourteen.
Speaker 2: Two gen Seng hunters were out in a wooded area
Speaker 2: in northern Tennessee, about twenty miles north of Darden when
Speaker 2: one of them overturned a bucket to reveal a human skull.
Speaker 2: For quick background, a Gensing hunter is someone who searches
Speaker 2: or forages for wild American gin sing, which is a
Speaker 2: plant that is widely known for its Chinese medicinal benefits
Speaker 2: aiding in digestion, energy boosts, and other things.
Speaker 1: I say a Gensing hunter, but I was like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let you keep going, because I was like,
Speaker 1: what the fuck is that?
Speaker 2: When I was going over, I was like, a Gensing
Speaker 2: that's a China, that's a Chinese herb. But apparently we
Speaker 2: have our own svc's here in America. Nice the hunter
Speaker 2: quickly turned around in shock after finding the skull and
Speaker 2: notice more bones spread out around the area. They recovered
Speaker 2: Holly's skull, several ribs, one shoulder blade, and the back
Speaker 2: of holly skull was a bullet hole that entered from
Speaker 2: the right side and traveled through her head and exited
Speaker 2: out through her left cheekbone. Now we have a body,
Speaker 2: and police were determined to get the people behind bars
Speaker 2: that did this. Interestingly enough, the land that Holly's body
Speaker 2: was found on was owned by someone in the Adams family.
Speaker 2: Now let's go back to Shane Austen. Apparently, someone in
Speaker 2: Darden County Lockup who was looking to cut a deal
Speaker 2: with police for their own crimes threw out the name
Speaker 2: Zach Adams and that they knew Zach Adams was the kidnapper.
Speaker 2: Police wanted to get close to Zach, so they set
Speaker 2: up a plan. They were going to arrest Zack's brother,
Speaker 2: Dylan Adams for a weapons charge he had against him already,
Speaker 2: and then turned the interrogation toward Holly Bobo and see
Speaker 2: what he do. Their plan worked, and Dylan told police
Speaker 2: back in twenty eleven, he went over to his brother's house,
Speaker 2: where he found Holly sitting in a chair in just
Speaker 2: a pink T shirt. Zach then told Dylan that he
Speaker 2: had raped Holly and videotaped it. Dylan also placed another
Speaker 2: accomplice at Zach's house, a man named Jason Autry, and
Speaker 2: based on this information, police arrested both men and brought
Speaker 2: them in. The alleged video of the rape was never found.
Speaker 2: Phone records that police obtained from Jason showed that Shane
Speaker 2: and Jason spoke on the phone multiple times the day
Speaker 2: that Holly was kidnapped. There were other phone records for
Speaker 2: the four main men involved, but none of these gave
Speaker 2: exact locations. It was only the last cell tower that
Speaker 2: the phones pinged from. Right away, police offered Shane a
Speaker 2: full immunity deal in return for test against Zach and
Speaker 2: leading them to Holly's body.
Speaker 3: Mind you, all of this is.
Speaker 2: Happening in early twenty fourteen, They still hadn't found Holly's
Speaker 2: body yet, so, unfortunately for Shane, this immunity offer was
Speaker 2: revoked because he was either unable to or unwilling to
Speaker 2: lead police to the body. Shane ended up being pretty
Speaker 2: useless in general, as he couldn't provide any information and
Speaker 2: any information he did provide was proven to be a fabrication.
Speaker 2: Once the immunity offer was revoked, police shifted their approach
Speaker 2: towards Shane and actually spent a decent amount of time
Speaker 2: trying to file murder charges against him. Other than that
Speaker 2: confession from Dylan, police didn't have anything, and that was
Speaker 2: clear when they were parading Dylan's confession and comments through
Speaker 2: the media but being very secretive about any other potential
Speaker 2: evidence they had. And that's because they literally didn't have any. Now,
Speaker 2: let's think back to what Clint, Holly's brother had originally
Speaker 2: reported about the attacker he saw in the garage. He
Speaker 2: said that it was a man who was probably around
Speaker 2: two hundred pounds five ten to six feet tall. Both
Speaker 2: Zack and Jason were out right off the bat. Jason
Speaker 2: was six' eight three hundred. Pounds zack was heavily addicted
Speaker 2: to meth at the, time making him far too, skinny
Speaker 2: and on top of, that he's six.' five so we
Speaker 2: got a chubby and a, sinewy, guy right not your
Speaker 2: average six foot putting either of them at the scene is.
Speaker 2: A stretch the only one who would potentially fit The
Speaker 2: description clint Gave, is dylan and there was also a
Speaker 2: single croc footprint at, the Scene and dylan did Report
Speaker 2: that zach was wearing green crocks when he got to
Speaker 2: his house later, that day but still investigators are unsure
Speaker 2: if that krock footprint is. Even related another weird thing
Speaker 2: that happened was a statement made by a Woman Named.
Speaker 2: Sandra king sandra came forward and told police that Her
Speaker 2: Friend jeff Percy Or, jeff piercy showed her a video
Speaker 2: of a woman being tied up. And raped sandra claimed
Speaker 2: that the Woman Resembled. Holly bobo sandra said that the
Speaker 2: woman was crying in the video and while she didn't watch.
Speaker 3: It long enough to see the, actual rape she knew
Speaker 3: that it.
Speaker 2: Was, coming next when police staged a phone Call with Sandra,
Speaker 2: and jeff it.
Speaker 3: Was revealed That actually Jeff's brother mark was the one
Speaker 3: in the video and he had got it. From.
Speaker 2: Him wow police officers would have literally sold their souls
Speaker 2: to get their hands on, that video but it was.
Speaker 2: Never recovered police were never even able to find a
Speaker 2: connection between the original group of men And the piercy
Speaker 2: brothers and the Investigation against Jeff and mark and there
Speaker 2: just to paint a picture of the lack of evidence
Speaker 2: and organization they had surrounding. This case let's talk about
Speaker 2: the mistakes that. Were made first, of all when it
Speaker 2: was time to have a Hearing for mark surrounding, the
Speaker 2: video the prosecutor literally forgot To have mark transferred to
Speaker 2: the courthouse and they had to reschedule. The hearing the
Speaker 2: prosecutor was also going in circles with dropping And, Charging,
Speaker 2: shane Dylan. And zach they continued to fail to turn
Speaker 2: over evidence that they claimed. To have prosecutors literally said
Speaker 2: fuck it and decided to arrest And, Charge, shane Zach
Speaker 2: and dylan of, aggravated kidnapping first, degree murder and Rape
Speaker 2: in march of. Twenty fourteen now remember this is before
Speaker 2: they found any Remains, of holly so this is truly a.
