SMoke and prayers for a girl I know...

What a rollercoaster of emotion for a small community. Friday morning a multi-agency task force descended on the county with multiple search warrants. The prime search area North of town swarmed with agents and investigators from TBI, FBI, TSP, Sheriff's departments, mobile forensic labs, command center, two evidence vans, helocopters, cadaver dogs and handlers, emergency management dive teams and of course area press reporters.

Teams searched the two housed and mobile home on the property, several outbuildings and began setting up forensic archeology units in several locations.

Five vehicles were impounded, loaded and hauled away for close search in Nashville.

Officials were tight lipped to locals and the press, but it didn't take much comparing of notes for us to figure out who the property belonged to, run a VINES check on the owner, trace his recent movements and figure out that he was arrested, later announced as "agrivated assault and possibly other charges", but unrelated to the search. In under 24 hours he had been transferred to a facility in an adjacent county "because of local jail overcrowding". More VINES checking shows that a known associate of his is currently housed in our county jail awaiting final sentencing "15 years to life".

TBI Director gave a short, uninformative presser yesterday. But as luck would have it, an Atlanta Fox News reporter who was here working for a local station in 2011, Will Nunley, picked up the news and began reporting for us. And jumped in his car, driving in from Atlanta last night, arriving here this morning in time to shower and head t othe search site. He has been keeping us informed all day of every movement, observation of search areas, and interviews with officials and locals.

We have been watching events all day. A dive team descended into an abandoned well. A THP chopper landed, delivered some people then lifted off. More cadaver dog teams. And now word that further teams, "VIPERS", are coming in from five other states, from Alabama, Texas, Kentucky, Arkansas, and Missouri to assist. We have strong rain coming and a winter storm warning from now thru Monday, but officials insist that they will proceed.

What a long strange trip it's been. And we aren't there yet. And yes, every store already had posters, cars still have missing persons posters in windows, signs on most every streetcorner, pink ribbons on nearly every streetlamp and utility pole, mailboxes and home porches.

More smoke and prayers from NEPA, it's been awhile since she's been missing but the trash of abducted woman showing up up to 10 years later brings hope. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends thanks for the update.
 
Thanks guys. The general feeling here is that they already have what they need to bring charges, but don't want to leave a single stone unturned to obtain a strong conviction. Many still hope for the miracle that she may be alive yet. And those of us who are not that optimistic haven't the heart to say otherwise. 400 people attended today's prayer vigil and thousands of us said our own quiet prayers for the searchers, the family, Holly and the community. Your thoughts and prayers are appreciated as well.

Truth serum should be legal in these circumstances. He could be made to tell the truth.

There seems to be three meth-stooges. Rumor has it that one or more has turned state's evidence, thus the sudden search warrants. Street rumors of the circumstances would make a horror movie that Anthony Hopkins would turn down.

I hope justice is served.
 
I have been wondering about this case since you brought it up. Progress is good.

6 people? Oh my god. I hope they aren't all directly involved, that much coordinated evil needs bullets, not jail time.

From the courtroom down the street from me this morning, a reporter states:

Zachary Adams bond is $1 Million. Next hearing is Monday. Adams left courtroom saying "I'm not the one."

Danielle has been outspoken from the beginning, but without proof of anything. People are rolling now, cutting deals. The aforementioned suspoect's brother is in jail awaiting federal charges (15 to life). His case suddenly disappeared from the court docket over the weekend.
 
I'm glad this seems to be coming to an end. I didn't think they'd ever catch who was involved and I still thought about her often.
 
Codger, is it assumned Holly is dead? Or could she be alive, stashed somewhere? Any clues? Leads in that area?

Speculation is rampant as you might imagine and several scenarios are possible. Including that she was rescued early on and held in witness protection, that the case isn't so much about her as a previous murder and coverup. Truth is yet to be revealed. But it is coming. Of the six names found through Vinelink (inmate records), at least four today are listed "Transferred to unknown agency".

Silly me! I didn't look at the date of your initial posting, and so all this time I did not realize the kidnapping took place three years ago. I thought this was all happening now. Now that I finally understand, it puts an entirely different spin on the story. I feel bad for her family, and at least, it seems the case may have broke.
