3 men charged in Holly Bobo’s death could be tried separately

DECATURVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A judge says he is considering holding separate trials for each of three men charged in the kidnapping, rape and killing of a Tennessee woman whose disappearance more than five years ago led to a massive search for her.

Decatur County Judge C. Creed McGinley said Tuesday he has not decided whether Jason Autry and brothers John Dylan and Zachary Adams will be tried together or separately for the death of Holly Bobo next year.

Bobo was 20 when she disappeared from her home in Parsons in April 2011. Authorities say two men found her skull in a wooded area in Decatur County in September 2014.

The men were charged with premeditated murder, as well as murder in perpetration of aggravated kidnapping and aggravated rape, after Bobo’s remains were found.
