Investigators say Holly Bobo, 20, was abducted from her home in Parsons, TN last week, and she hasn’t been seen since. Hundreds of volunteers from her community joined forces with police over the weekend to comb the wooded areas and roadways throughout her town. Authorities say Holly was outside her house on Swan Johnson Road April 13, between 7:40 – 8 a.m. when an unknown man approached her. Holly’s brother told police the suspect looked similar to her boyfriend from behind and he was not worried until he walked outside and noticed blood. That’s when he contacted police. Authorities say Holly’s brother and boyfriend are not suspects.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigations confirms they found Holly’s lunch bag a few miles away from where she went missing. Sunday, TBI announced they want the community to take notice of anyone who’s whereabouts were unaccounted for Wednesday morning and also to pay attention to changes in behavior since last week. It’s also possible the suspect may have missed appointments or canceled them unexpectedly. Police say he may also have cleaned, sold or reported his car or ATV stolen.

2) Brittany’s mom, Tina Smith, was found dead inside her home on December 6 when she didn’t show up for work. Last week the Medical Examiner released the autopsy and ruled the case an official homicide. An Amber Alert was issued for Brittany.

The search efforts will continue this week to find three missing boys in Morenci, Michigan. About 500 citizens gathered last night for a tree lighting in their community, but many say the gathering was really a tribute to the brothers.
This strange story unraveled nearly two weeks ago when the children went missing about 75 miles southwest of Detroit on the Ohio-Michigan border. Their father, John Skelton, told police he handed his children, 5-year-old Tanner, 7-year-old Alexander and 9-year-old Andrew off to a woman named Joann Taylor. Police say there’s a good chance Joann does not exist, even though Skelton claims he met her on the Internet four years ago.
The children were reported missing by their mother Tanya the day after Thanksgiving when they didn’t return home. The children’s parents are currently separated and going through a divorce and custody battle. Skelton allegedly tried to commit suicide by hanging himself and he claims that he gave the children up before his attempted suicide, investigators are doubting that story as well.
UPDATE: Investigators say remains found 10 miles away are those of missing grandmother Pat O’Hagan. Authorities say bird hunters came across her body over the weekend and they are working this case as a homicide and foul play is suspected.
BACKGROUND: The abduction of an elderly woman has one small Vermont community on edge. The FBI says Pat O’Hagan, 78, may have been abducted nearly a month ago from her home in Sheffield, and sadly there’s been no sign of her. As investigators begin to piece this mystery together, they’ve learned she most likely went missing last Friday. A friend filed a missing persons report on Saturday when she stopped by Pat’s home to pick her up for her weekly rug-hooking meeting only to discover she wasn’t there.
Pat is extremely active. The grandmother of nine was known to kayak, go camping, help out in her community and be active in her church. Police and the FBI have scoured all nearby areas including abandoned buildings. The Vermont National Air Guard has even flown over the area to see if they can spot any sign of the missing woman.
