Conviction and sentencing some people wonder did they get the right man . Reporter a patchwork of dense woods and hardscrabble farms sewn to the west bank of the Tennessee River. This is decatur county, tennessee atvs, horses and hunting. Its where karen and dana bobo live. In a home they built with own hands, with their 25yearold son clint, and his younger sister, 20yearold holly. Holly was pretty much a mothers girl. We shared a bond that she would sometimes look at me and say that its scary, because we could finish each others sentences. Reporter Whitney Duncan, a Country Music singer, is hollys cousin. She had a beautiful voice, so i would kinda help coach her a little bit on that. Will will be peace in the valley for me reporter and it was a special time for holly, she had recently received a promise ring, from her boyfriend, drew scott. And i remember her showing me and just being so excited about the future. She really was planning their life together. Reporter the last day of her life was a wednesday. A perfectly ordinary april morning in 2011. Too early for trouble. The sun climbing the trees, chasing off the mist. The bobo family is rising too. Holly, a Nursing Student is up by 4 30 that morning, studying for her test that day. Karen packs hollys lunch and then shes off to teach second grade at scotts hill elementary. Reporter did you say goodbye before you left . She was sitting at the kitchen table. Studying and i kissed her goodbye and told her i loved her. Just like every other morning. Reporter holly gathers her lunch and homework and walks out to get in her mustang in the carport. At about 7 40, hollys older brother, clint is asleep in his bedroom, the house is quiet. Until the scream. Around 7 40 that morning, a neighbor was getting ready to go to work, and was outside and he heard a scream from next door. Holly screamin, stop, stop, stop it reporter her brother clint doesnt hear holly screaming, he wakes up to the family dog barking. So i decided to get up. See what he was barking at. Reporter clint hears voices in the carport behind the house. I listened just briefly, and i could tell it was a male, and a female voice. I never was really able to tell what they were saying. Reporter you couldnt tell if they were shouting, if they were arguing . Well, as i listened a little bit closer, i could tell that, that was hollys voice. So i knew it was holly, so in my mind the males voice i knew to be drew, you know, who was her boyfriend. Reporter through the blinds, he spies the strangest thing, two figures in the shadows of the garage. Holly was knelt down in the garage, and a man in camouflage who i identified as drew were knelt down in the garage facing each other. Reporter unsure whats going on, wary of walking into the middle of a quarrel between holly and her boyfriend, clint calls his mother. And he asked me, was holly not going to school today . Was she going home with drew . And i says, thats not drew. Reporter karen bobo knows hollys boyfriend is elsewhere that morning, turkey hunting. So i instantly knew something was wrong. I could see them just briefly. Reporter where were they . They were walking towards the woods and theres a trail, leads you to a logging road. Reporter was your sister walking unaided . On her own . Yeah. She was walking on her own. Reporter so he wasnt dragging her . Oh, no, no. So when clint told you on the phone, holly and drew just walked off into the woods. I said, thats not drew. Get a gun and shoot him. And clint said, you want me to shoot drew . And i think thats when i hung up and called 911. 911 whats your emergency . I am in a fullfledged panic by then. Somebody has my daughter, please get there now. Reporter police rush to the house on swan johnson road, followed closely by dana and karen bobo. I ran through the woods calling her name. Reporter in the garage theres evidence of a struggle, a puddle of blood later confirmed to be hollys. Hollys Nursing School classmate Suzanne Pratt knew something was wrong when holly didnt show up for their test. We waited for just a little while, because she wasnt there and no one knew where she was. Reporter then the instructor broke the news. She announced that something terrible had happened. Soon half the county, people, police, and search dogs overrun the bobo property. Get ready to go out into the woods, okay . You had neighbors, friends, family, all of decatur county, just kind of poured into this familys front yard, and theyre out in the woods looking for her. You know, cops everywhere, helicopters flying. It was already crazy. Reporter hollys dad tells reporters he suspects the man who took holly had to be familiar with the area, familiar with her habits. It mightve been somebody close. Somebody that kinda knew our routine, when i left, when she left, and when my daughter left to go to school. If you see anything thats not right tell me. Reporter tennessee, the volunteer state, lives up to its name. Day after day friends, neighbors, and strangers continue searching for holly. Reporter the urgent search for a young woman gone missing. [ crying ] holly, i love you so much. Please, please try to get home to us. Weve been searching all day and pretty well into the night. Reporter police ask at t to track hollys cell phone. Reporter what could you tell from hollys cell phone that morning . Essentially, for an hour and a half, her cell phone traveled all through decatur county. Reporter the beating electric pulse of hollys phone travels north to a wooded area near interstate 40, and then turns back south by another route. At any point does the cell phone stop moving . Around 8 30 to 9 00 that morning, her cell phone stopped moving for about about 20 to 30 minutes. And what do you think was happening at that point . I i dont wanna think about it. Reporter for several days the house is a crime scene. Eventually the bobos are allowed to return home. I remember the, you know, the first thing i wanted to do was go to her room and open her closet and smell her. Reporter karen bobo longs for the touch her daughters hand. When holly was at home, you know, shed be asleep. Her hand would be kind of folded like this, and i would just slip my hand in her hand, for just a few seconds. And i remember doing that after, trying to feel her. Thinking if i could just feel her hand in my hand. Reporter investigators follow every lead. Disheartening evidence of holly begins turning up homework, a notebook, that lunch her mother made, and hollys phone, all found scattered along backcountry roads in the weeks after the abduction. I wondered if she maybe had a chance to throw out some things, or if it was just some kind of taunting. Reporter the strange abduction, the apparent signs of familiarity with the victim, and the trail of evidence, lead police to think the suspect was close. Perhaps even inside the house there were a lot of people that felt clint was lying. Reporter hollys own brother, what does he know . Have you told everything you know about that morning . Reporter stay with us. My business was going nowhere. So i built this kickin new website with godaddy. Building a website in under an hour is easy 68 of people.

Im not even sure this is real wood. Theres no butter in this churn. Do my tris look okay . Take a closer look at geico. Great savings. And a whole lot more. We return now to more of 20 20. Reporter and now we have the latest on the desperate hunt for tennessee Nursing Student holly bobo. She was taken from her home by a man wearing camouflage. This morning, there are some new clues. Did she know her alleged abductor . Reporter clint bobo was the last person to see his sister holly alive, as she was led into the woods by a man. I knew that he was wearing camouflage and he had what appeared to be a black object in his hand. You also described his height, and weight, and hair color. Yeah. I estimated him to be about 510 and about 200 pounds. What color hair . I really dont remember focusing on his hair. But you described it to police as being dark. Yeah. Reporter the pressure is enormous, people are puzzled by clint bobos account of the abduction. At the time, Tennessee Bureau of investigations terry dicus is heading up the case. There were a lot of people that felt very strongly clint was lying, and that clint telling the truth would be the secret to solvin this case. Did they tell you they thought your story was strange . It was just question, after question, after question. Now, of course, they did check me. They said for scratches and so i took my shirt off. That was that morning that she disappeared . Yeah. Yeah, that was that morning. Suspicion was that quickly turned toward you . You were there. I was there, yeah. I was there and holly was not there. Reporter Police Search clints computer, monitor his phone calls, and polygraph him, twice. Have you told everything you know about that morning yes. That your sister disappeared . Yes. I have told everything. What has it been like to lose one child and have the other child be the focus of so much suspicion . I felt like we had lost one child and have, was having to to fight for the other one. But i knew the truth would always come out in the end. Reporter eventually, clint is cleared and investigators turn their attention to another man from the county. Terry britt was a registered sex offender who lived fairly close to the bobo home. He lived, also, very, very close to where some of her property was found. The first time i interviewed him, i was like, oh my god. This guy did it. This guy did it. You thought that the first time you interviewed him . Yeah. I thought that before i interviewed him, actually. According to terry dicus, terry britt did have, for lack of a better term, a type. He liked pretty blonde, blue eyed girls. Uh, and holly fit that type. Reporter the dark underbelly of decatur county, the criminal underworld of drug addicts and sex offenders is a foreign country to karen bobo. We didnt live in that culture. We lived in our own little circle so you werent even aware of it . That that world existed . Absolutely not. We were just hardworking family. I thought thats how everybody lived. Tell me about terry britt. He is a horrible, horrible human being. He spent the majority of his life in prison for kidnappin and rape. And he absolutely perfectly matches the description that clint bobo provided of hollys abductor. His entire alibi was a lie, from start to finish complete and total fabrication. Reporter his alibi was that he was buying a bathtub with his wife at this salvage yard. Problem is dicus says the store has no record of that sale. Dicus does not believe its a coincidence that britts home is in northern decatur county, in the general direction hollys cell phone was moving the day she was taken. You executed a search warrant on terry britts house. And that involved bringing cadaver dogs. Did they find anything . The cadaver dogs alerted to two of britts vehicles and several tools around his house. Somebody has been decomposing in or around these vehicles, in or around these tools. So you seized the vehicles and the tools and tested them for any d. N. A. . Correct. No d. N. A. Correct. Reporter undeterred, police wiretap britts phone and put a bug in his house and listen to his conversations. The wiretap did not result in anything. We didnt have any type of admission on that. And i think a lot of people looked at that as exoneration. Reporter but not dicus. And he says largely because of this a recording of a chilling conversation he had with britt. Britt seems to actually fantasize about what hollys kidnapper might have been thinking. Shes young, pretty, perfect, somewhat, body. Okay, like a toy. He cant wait to get her to where hes going to take her to, because hes wanting that body. But here comes reality, now ive got a body, what am i gonna do with it . If you keep it, you gotta feed it, you gotta hide it, and if you kill it, what are you gonna do with it . The hairs must have stood up on the back of your neck. The way i took it is hes relivin the story. And when he gets to the point where shes no longer alive, he changes from talkin about her as a person, talk about her as an it. Reporter but britt continues to deny he was involved, and investigators cannot seem to find compelling evidence to prove otherwise. Many in the tbi feel its time to turn to other suspects. Not dicus, though, he just cant let go. Were you asked to leave the investigation . I was taken off the investigation, yes. Because you felt passionately that they had a suspect that you should be pursuing. Yeah. And nobody else agreed . Well, not i wouldnt no not nobody else agreed, but the right people didnt agree, is more accurate. Reporter dicus was reassigned, and then leaves the tbi altogether. The agency says dicus was benched because he developed tunnel vision and had lost his ability to be objective about the facts of the case. The investigation meanwhile, seems to go nowhere. Hollys family is increasingly frustrated. Until your child is found or you know what happened to them, i dont think anyone could ever do enough in a parents eyes. Reporter but in the depths of the bobos despair, suddenly a stunning turn we have a major break report, a suspect is in custody this morning. Reporter police say theyve found their man make that men. And then they find something in the woods. I once again got that same, its her feeling. Reporter stay with us. avo lose weight and keep it off with contrave.

Reporter ever since that april morning when holly bobo vanished into the tennessee woods, the tips poured in. The more the investigation foundered, the wilder the speculation. Psychic visions and sightings. Holly becomes a phantom haunting every dark corner of decatur county. Citizens report, shes being held captive in a barn, no, tied up in a warehouse thrown down a well. One woman claimed to have been there the night holly was taken. Another fella claimed to have her in the basement. Reporter police are tipped off early in the investigation to four small time criminals, brothers zach and dylan adams and cousins, jason autry and Shayne Austin. They were essentially best friends. They did everything together. Reporter zach adams is one of those people in town allegedly shooting off his mouth, taking credit for hollys disappearance. Zach would tell people, youre gonna end up in a hole just like holly. They would make comments everywhere that normal people would not make. Reporter so do they come to the top of your suspect list, somebody to check out . They were brought up early and often. They were brought up by people that know that theyre just bad people, into drugs. Reporter reputations that draw the attention of the bobos, who by now have begun doing their own police work. They track them one by one and ask for a chat. Reporter what did you say to these people . I asked them did they know anything about our daughters abduction . Of course, they all denied it. Reporter was any part of you afraid . No. I guess i would have fought goliath. You know . I just had no fear. I was trying to find my daughter. Every single moment of her life since holly went missing has been devoted to that. She never gave up hope. Reporter when you went to interview these two brothers and their friend, jason autry, how did they strike you . They appeared believable to me. Reporter did they have alibis during the time of the crime . Alibis that checked out. Reporter but then dicus is taken off the case, and investigators return to that foursome. Unlike britt who dicus thought acted alone, four suspects provide an opportunity to break the case. Detectives just need one to turn on the other three. Police begin a series of at least six interrogation sessions over eight months, with the weakest link dylan adams who quickly admits being with holly bobo the day she was taken. Describe, what was she was doin . What did she look like . What was she wearing . She had long pants on. Pink shirt. Okay. Reporter of the four suspects, dylan is the youngest. And his mother cindy adams says he has intellectual disabilities. He even has trouble telling time. And if you lie to me one time, im getting up and walking out. And were done. Reporter as you watch that, as you watch that videotape of your son, what do you see . I just see someone bein bullied into sayin somethin they didnt do. Youve destroyed evidence. You withheld information. That aint how this works was holly bobo kidnapped . Yes, sir. Was she raped . Yes, sir. Was she raped by you . Yes, sir. Reporter after numerous sessions with halting one word answers the frustrated agents seem to realize dylan will not make a good witness. Dylan doesnt give them any of the mysteries about who took holly, where she went you know when she walked into the woods, where she was killed, where her body had been. Reporter even so, detectives cobble together the following story from dylan. He tells them his brother zach, jason autry and Shayne Austin kidnapped holly. Dylan says all four of them sexually assaulted her at zachs house. As for who killed holly, in one version he says it was zach, another, it was autry. I think that he was just tryin to get through it. And he really didnt care what he said. Dylan is a people pleaser. I know my boys. Theyre drug addicts. Theyre not murderers. Reporter but grand jury says thats exactly what they are. Zack adams and jason autry are indicted for murder. Decatur county grand jury handed down indictment of especially aggravated kidnapping and first degree felony murder. Reporter recognizing dylans weakness as a witness, authorities turn to Shayne Austin. Hes not charged. Instead they offer him immunity in exchange for testimony. But he says he cant answer the most important question. Wheres holly . We still didnt have her back so for me, even then, i think there was a part of me that still didnt believe it. That all changed on september 7th 2014. A sunday, when two ginseng hunters find partial human remains including a skull at the foot of a cell phone tower in this wooded area off interstate 40. The very area where hollys phone had been pinging. And just six miles from zach adamss house. Confirmed they found bobos remains. Reporter where were you when you got word . We were at the mall in jackson, tennessee. And i will never forget that. I once again got that same, its her feeling. Just had that same feeling, theyre gonna come and tell us thats her. Reporter her intuition proven right. The skull is hollys. And theres a bullet hole in it. They have a body. But they lose their witness. Before he can testify, Shayne Austin hangs himself in a Florida Hotel room. Authorities desperately need a break. There is no physical evidence linking the Adams Brothers or jason autry to the crime. Even so, prosecutors charge all of them, including dylan, announcing theyll seek the Death Penalty. All three plead not guilty. And this guy actually believes them, the former agent in charge of the early years of the investigation, terry dicus. Why dont you think these young men are guilty . I dont think theyre capable of doin arithmetic, much less this. Reporter but prosecutors are confident they can make it all add up. Still ahead, the trial that rocked decatur county, a best friends betrayal, and chilling story about what happened to holly. Boom. Boom. Boom. Reporter stay with us.

I bet you dont miss this town the song was kind of me talking to her. I pray and i pray and ask god why so i really wanted to show some clips of holly, from when she was a baby and just of her growing up through the years. But i know shes watching down and she sees everything. Better place god bless the united states, the state of tennessee, the county and this honorable court. Reporter earlier this month, zach adams Death Penalty murder trial gets underway in an ornate, chandeliered courtroom in Hardin County, tennessee, reporter zach adams, standing alone as the face of evil. His husky appearance strikingly different from the gaunt man seen in preliminary hearings two years earlier. Prosecutor Paul Hagerman delivers his Opening Statement in a voice so quiet, many strain to hear. He took her. He raped her. He killed her. And he almost got away with it. Reporter Jennifer Thompson is zach adams defense attorney. He did not, as a matter of fact, know holly bobo, and had never even laid eyes on her. Reporter when hollys mother, a school teacher, testifies, a surreal moment. She knows her daughters alleged killer. She taught zack adams in the 4th grade. Shes keeps her composure until shes asked to identify some of hollys belongings. Is this her car key. Yes, maam . Lets take a minute. Let the jury file out, please. Whoa. Get a nurse. Reporter now prosecutors introduce a recent discovery, what they consider the murder weapon, a pistol allegedly once owned by Shayne Austin. It had been recovered just before the trial was set to begin. Finding the gun came out of nowhere. Nobody could ever find a gun. Reporter if its the smoking gun it hasnt smoked in a while, the pistol was found under water in a drainage ditch. One expert testifies based on the size of bullet hole it could be the murder weapon. But no expert proves it actually is. And dylan adams is also nowhere to be seen, not on the witness stand; not in that videotaped interrogation. Thats because the state no longer needs him, because prosecutors have found a real rock star witness, none other than jason autry himself be seated. State your first and last name and spell it for the court please. Jason autry. They had no physical evidence other than a skull, and a gun. So jason autry is their best hope at a conviction. When jason autry came along, its what the state really needed to try to get a conviction of somebody, and i think the state really needed to convict somebody. Reporter for years, jason autry had been proclaiming his innocence to anyone whod listen. I want to say one thing, im innocent of these charges. Right hand before god, im innocent sir. Reporter but this time with his right hand before god, its a different story. Right there is the location where she was killed. He said the morning she was taken zack adams asked him to get rid of a dead body in the back of his pickup truck. He said i need you to help me bury this body. Reporter he says according to zach adams the body in the blanket was holly bobo. Autry says he and zach drove the body down back country roads to a spot on the Tennessee River under the interstate 40 bridge. Cell phone records show they were both in that area that morning and this graffiti suggests zach had been there before. He says they laid the body in the blanket on the ground. At that time i see the foot move, a movement and a sound of distress that sounded like pin come out of her voice, come out of her, come from the blanket. I told him, i said, this [ bleep ] [ bleep ] is still alive. Reporter he says he kept a lookout and zach fetched a pistol from the truck. At that time boom, the gun went off. It sounded like boom, boom, boom underneath that bridge. It was just one shot, but it echoed underneath that bridge all the way down that damn river bottom. Birds went everywhere, just all up from under that bridge. It was just dead silence for just a second. Reporter he says they load hollys dead body still in the quilt back onto the truck. Shut the tailgate and tear out of there like wild indians. Jason autry is a star witness like no other. Just details his entire day on april 13th like it was yesterday. Reporter autry claims that was the extent of his involvement. He says he eventually learned from zach and dylan adams that they and Shayne Austin had kidnapped holly earlier that morning and sexually assaulted her in an old barn. After shooting her under the bridge, he says zach disposed of her body. Did jason autrys story on the stand sound plausible to you . It did. Every part of it . It did, and it matched. It matched what the prosecutors had also. Reporter zack adams defense Attorney Says its a pack of lies. I think jason autrys gonna be rewarded for his story. I think hes gonna be released. I think hell be released fairly soon. Reporter she points out phone records show autry takes time out from allegedly participating in this murder to chat on the phone with his girlfriend, and his mother. In the middle of all this, you were able to take a telephone call from your mother shirley king that morning, at 9 42, werent you . If your records reflect that, thats true. Reporter but prosecutors point to their own phone records, bringing on a tbi expert who tells the jury that autrys story of meeting up with zach adams before traveling to the Tennessee River is backed up by the movements of their cellphones. But the prosecution isnt finished. They call to the witness stand a rogues gallery of walking, talking, testifying mugshots. Cons and excons who say they heard zach adams bragging about what he had done to holly bobo. He said, ill kill you like i did holly bobo. I couldnt have picked a prettier he made the comment that, it sure was fun. Reporter the prosecutions case leaves some nagging questions unanswered. Which of the suspects took holly from her home . Why was she targeted . And, what happened to her before she was wrapped in the quilt in the back of the pickup . Thats what leads the defense, and the original invest gator to say the wrong man is on trial. And now terry britt, the original suspect, is about to take the stand stay with us.

Reporter in the Hardin County courthouse it is zach adamss turn to defend himself. His attorney, Jennifer Thompson, calls a cell phone expert. He determines that although zach adamss phone may have been in the same place as holly bobos at times on the day of the crime, at other times that day, zach and hollys phones were far apart. At 8 17, hollys phone is over in this area. And at 8 16, zach adamss phone is over here, and theyre miles apart, okay . Reporter but its not just about creating reasonable doubt thompson is shooting for reasonable certainty that the real killer was someone else. For assistance she turns to terry dicus the former lead investigator removed from the case because of unwavering belief that his old nemesis terry britt is the predator who murdered holly. In your opinion, what is the strongest evidence implicating terry britt . Hes the kidnap and rapist in decatur county. Hes the one that would be willin to do this. Reporter aside from his notorious rap sheet, youll recall that britt had a waferthin alibi, and the cadaver dogs alerted on his car. Who has human decomposition on two of their cars and four of the tools in their shed . Who has that . Zach didnt have that. Shayne austin didnt have that. Reporter dicus makes his case to the jury. Terry britt has black hair. He weighs 200 pounds and hes six foot tall. So i got onto him because, number one he is the exact size of what our witness say the abductor looked like. Hes capable of kidnapping her. Reporter on cross examination he is forced to admit he knows nothing of developments in the case in the years since he left the tbi. But you cant tell us anything about the three and four years after that. Youre right. I dont know what yall have done since then. Reporter and now the showstopper. Heres terry britt himself brought in straight from the penitentiary to testify in court. Would you tell the jury what youre currently incarcerated for . Kidnap, attempted rape. Reporter britt has not forgotten terry dicus, the agent who hounded him for years. Do you know whether dicus is still a tbi agent . No, hes lost his job. I wish hed get on food stamps. I object your honor. He can say he almost destroyed my life. Reporter but defense attorney Jennifer Thompson hopes to convince the jury terry britt should be on trial here, not her client zach adams. When the Police Showed up at your house to talk with you, the first thing you said to them was, i didnt rape nobody. Didnt you . Right. Thats before they even said anything to you about what was going on, isnt it . Thats right. Okay. Because you had already heard that there was a woman missing. Thats right. Reporter its role reversal in the courtroom. The prosecutor practically holding her nose has to shoot down this defense ploy by proving britt is innocent, of this particular crime. After the searching of your house, searching of your cars, taking your computers, bugging your phone, bugging your house. Were you charged with anything to do with holly bobos case . No. No, maam. Did you kidnap, rape, murder holly bobo . No, i didnt. I didnt know the girl. Never seen her in my life that i know of. So, after all of that, after all that, you still have to be here today, still answering questions about something that happened in 2011. Just like them cameras back there, theyre gonna plaster me, lies on me from here to china, again. Did you have any doubt at all that they had charged the right people . No. None . None. You never, ever thought theres a chance it could be terry britt . No. Why did i even have to hear about terry brit. Reporter prosecutors remind the jury no physical evidence connected terry britt to the crime. Not a drop of blood, not a hair, not anything at all that connected him to holly bobo. Reporter of course theres no blood or hair connecting zach adams to the crime either. And in her closing, thompson does her best to torpedo the prosecutions case. Theres no motive for zach to have done this. The government wants you to believe that zach is guilty on their suspicion and rumor. In this country we do not convict based on mere suspicion and rumor. Terry britt is most likely the real abductor and the killer of holly bobo. Reporter coming up will the bobos get the verdict they want . Or will hollys murder remain a mystery . Tell me about the moment you heard the verdict. I think it took a while for that to sink in. People would stare. Psoriasis does that. It was tough getting out there on stage. I wanted to be clear. I wanted it to last. So i kept on fighting. I found something that worked. And keeps on working. Now . They see me. See me.
