Brother of Zach Adams charged in Holly Bobo case

DOWNTOWN JACKSON , Tenn. — Another man has been arrested in the Holly Bobo case, according to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation. John Dylan Adams, 26, of Decatur County was arrested Wednesday evening without incident by TBI agents in Decatur County and charged with one count of tampering with evidence, according to the TBI. Adams was booked into the Madison County Jail, where at the time of the release he was being held without bond. Adams was sent to Madison County for safety reasons, according to Josh DeVine, public information officer with the TBI. TBI agents believe that on April 13, 2011, John Dylan Adams disposed of items he knew to be of evidentiary value to the case, according to the release. John Dylan Adams is the brother of Zachary Rye Adams, one of the men charged with felony murder and aggravated kidnapping in the Holly Bobo investigation. “Our investigation is by no means complete with this arrest and with this charge,” DeVine said. “We’re continuing to follow leads, continuing to work evidence and continuing to do everything we can to bring justice for the family and friends of Holly Bobo.” District Attorney Matt Stowe said that the latest arrest is part of the ongoing effort to bring to justice everyone involved in Bobo’s disappearance. “Everything right now is part of our comprehensive plan to find everyone responsible in this case,” Stowe said. On April 2, Zach Adams was charged with coercion of a witness. The warrant in that incident states Zach Adams asked an unnamed inmate to “Tell my brother he is the one who started this (expletive), and if he don’t shut his mouth he will be in the hole beside her.” Stay with WBBJ 7 Eyewitness News for updates on this developing story.
