DECATUR COUNTY, Tenn. — After some of Holly Bobo’s remains were found Sunday, investigators have sealed off the area where they were found and investigators have poured in. Though the discovery of some of her remains is crucial to the investigation, it far from signals the end. “I would imagine that this will not speed anything up,” Law enforcement expert Edmond Cepparulo said. “I’m sure they’re going to want to take their time and analyze everything that they’ve got.” Officers have guarded the access road to the crime scene in north Decatur County since Sunday, allowing only TBI investigators in to process the scene. “The TBI arrived this morning with their forensic teams,” Decatur County Sheriff Keith Byrd said. “There’s also a forensic anthropology team from UT Knoxville coming.” Edmond Cepparulo is a retired Jackson Police Officer and professor of criminal justice at Bethel University. He said one of the first things investigators will look for is the exact spot where Holly was buried. “Whatever evidence they recover there could lead them in different directions as far as the investigation goes,” Cepparulo said. The spot where the remains were found is not far from the home of Zach Adams, one of two men indicted in Holly’s murder and disappearance. Cepparulo said who ever buried Holly may have left a trace. “Anytime a crime occurs, there’s usually something that’s brought to the scene either by the victim or the subject,” Cepparulo said. “Also, something taken away from by the victim or the subject.” Cepparulo said he expects this case to continue for as long as it takes. “They’re going to keep working this case till they build a good enough case and strong enough case that they can bring this into a court room and prosecute the people that have done this,” Cepparulo said. The TBI has not yet released if they have found any more evidence at the scene.
