(Sept 7, 2014) Jackson TN — T.B.I. confirms they are investigating the discovery of possible human remains in Decatur County

T.B.I. is not confirming a precise location but sources say investigators are on a portion of County Corner Road, a service road the runs parallel to Interstate 40

Rumors that they are the remains of missing nursing student Holly Bobo are, at this point, “wild speculation” said Sheriff Keith Byrd.  Bobo went missing from her home in Parsons Tn in April of 2011.

Decatur County Sheriff Keith Byrd confirmed hunters made the discovery.  The hunters were in the woods looking for the herb Ginseng when they discovered the human skull.

D.A. Matt Stowe confirms the remains are human and that DNA testing will be used to identify the body.  County Corner Road is in Holladay Tn.

Two Decatur County men have been charged with Bobo’s murder but investigators have yet to locate Bobo’s body. Earlier this year Zach Adams and Jason Autry were both indicted on charges of first-degree felony murder and especially aggravated kidnapping in Holly’s death. Two other suspects face charges related to the homicide including tampering with evidence.

Authorities emphasize at this point they can’t confirm the identity of the remains including whether they are those of Holly Bobo.

No additional official information is expected for at least 24 hours.
