On Sunday, investigators announced they had found a "significant" item. Volunteers reportedly told Fox 13's Earle Farrell the significant piece of evidence is a cell phone. Helm declined to comment and would only say that there are "lots of rumors and speculation."
Prolly have to figure in the holiday weekend, and then the work week. Those things are going to make some volunteers unavailable. Next weekend could be the test.
Well they're excited about whatever was found.(most rumors say her cellphone....some say missing its sim card). cnn sez:
Tennessee's top investigator said Monday that searchers have found an item that officials believe belonged to the 20-year-old nursing student who disappeared earlier this month.
....
Mark Gwyn, director of the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, said the item in question was being analyzed at a crime lab. He declined to say what exactly was found.
"Not only has it given the family hope, it's given the investigators hope. Anytime you find what you believe to be evidence from someone that's missing, it revives the search and the investigation," he said. "Hopefully this item will give us a huge piece of that puzzle."
the brother says he saw her in early morning. but we don't know whether he did or not. anyone see her the night before? anyone in the family take a poly? why hasn't LE ruled anyone out?
the whole thing smells.
LE knows the timeline. we don't know diddly-squat.
and there have been about 4 different reports of her phone being found. none of which have been confirmed.
read my comments in post # 105 for more fish smell.
as i said, scaling back. the weather is a handy reason.

Law enforcement officials are asking volunteers to hold off in their search for Holly Bobo until a severe weather system leaves the area this week.
Volunteers are being asked to return to Decatur County Thursday if the 20-year-old missing nursing student is not found by then. Severe storms expected to be in the area today and tomorrow will keep volunteers from looking for Bobo.
"We don't want to put (the volunteers) at risk," said Tennessee Highway Patrol Lt. Brad Wilbanks, "Law enforcement will still be around to respond to anything we find as it comes up."
Around 70 volunteers spent Monday searching around the northern area of Decatur County.
Monday's efforts included around 30 emergency personnel from the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, THP, Decatur County Sheriff's Office, state and local Emergency Management Agency, and local fire and rescue squads.
The number of volunteers involved will likely scale back later this week. Volunteer headquarters may also move from the Decatur County Fairgrounds to the Emergency Operations Center in Parsons. It'll be up to the TBI to determine what direction the search heads in later this week, he said.

Who was given the information above by the TBI Director, and why would a cell phone be considered "significant" evidence or a "game changer?"
This has nothing to do with the Holly Bobo case. Im just posting it for anyone in the Middle Tenn area. Keep your eyes peeled!
Police Search For Man Who Attacked Shopper Outside Mall
Posted: Apr 26, 2011 2:28 PM CDT
FRANKLIN, Tenn. – Franklin police are searching for the suspect who robbed and repeatedly struck a 53-year-old man outside of the Cool Springs Galleria.
The incident took place on Saturday around 3 p.m. in the Sears parking area.
Franklin police said the suspect reportedly approached the victim as he was walking towards the mall and demanded money.
The victim complied with his demands. The suspect then repeatedly struck him in the head with a large knife before leaving.
The suspect is described as a black male, between 5'10" and 6' and weighing 190-200 pounds. He left the area in a silver or white Chevrolet 4-door. Another man was driving the car.
Police are continuing to review the evidence and talk to witnesses. Officials ask that if you have information about the case to call Crime Stopper at (615) 794-4000.
this wording is interesting...are they convinced Holly is dead and are more interested in finding the guy? it's an ambiguous statement in my opinion.

Decatur County, TN (Parsons, TN) - The search for Holly Bobo may focus more intently on finding a suspect related to the young woman's disappearance, according to TBI spokesperson Kristen Helms.
When asked if she [Helms] believed that investigators were closer to finding Bobo this week than in the previous week, Helms stated that the investigation has "become more narrowed" and that officials are intently focusing more on finding a potential suspect in the 20 year old's disappearance.
The Bureau is still actively seeking information from anyone in the community or region that will bring them closer to finding Holly Bobo, or the person responsible for her disappearance.
PARSONS, Tenn. (AP) - The investigation into the abduction of a nursing student has narrowed its focus but no one is yet being identified as a suspect.
Tennessee Bureau of Investigation spokeswoman Kristin Helm said the agency is in the process of identifying people of interest in the disappearance of 20-year-old Holly Bobo.
Helm said many possibilities have been ruled out. The focus of the investigation and search is still on the area surrounding the small community of Darden, where Bobo lived with her parents and brother.
The agency has analyzed a small amount of blood that was found outside the home, but Helm said they are not releasing the results to the public.
Bobo was last seen on April 13 being led away from her home by a man wearing camouflage.
