It was confirmed that ^ Jason Autry was given immunity against any additional crimes admitted-to during his forthcoming testimony against Adams. The death penalty is also off the table for Autry now.
Holly's mom Karen Bobo broke down on the stand when shown evidence photos of Holly's wallet and lunch purse. She recounted her first realization that Holly had been abducted from the family home.
Holly's brother Clint Bobo explained that he'd initially assumed that the man he saw in full camouflage with Holly, from a distance, was Holly's boyfriend. When he discovered blood droplets in the carport shortly thereafter, he got suspicious and called 911.
The court viewed photos of bloodstains found near Holly's Ford Mustang in the family’s garage on the day she disappeared. Special Agent Lawrence James, a forensic scientist with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, said DNA analysis showed that the 50 to 60 blood drops found on the floor of the carport belonged to Holly and indicated "there was some sort of struggle."
Tennessee Highway Patrol trooper Warren Rainey recounted how he was first to question Adams about two weeks after Bobo disappeared. Adams had a criminal record that included drug possession and assault and he lived in an area near where a credit card receipt with Bobo's signature was found, Rainey said. Rainey said that Adams was very 'shaky' and seemed nervous.
There was a mattress in good condition up against his house, which raised LE suspicions, as did fresh scratches on Zachary Adams's arms. An FBI agent took photos of the scratches at that time; those photos were shown to the jury yesterday.
