DECATURVILLE, Tenn. - Court hearings are scheduled for three men charged with murder in the disappearance of a Tennessee nursing student four years ago.

Jason Autry, Zachary Adams and his brother John Dylan Adams are expected to appear in Decatur County court on Wednesday.

Indictments handed down last month charge all three men with premeditated first-degree murder and murder in the perpetration of aggravated kidnapping and aggravated rape of Holly Bobo. The indictments replaced previous charges of murder and kidnapping for Autry and Zachary Adams, and rape charges for John Dylan Adams.

Bobo was 20 when she was reported missing from her home in rural Parsons in April 2011. Her disappearance and the subsequent lengthy search attracted national attention. Authorities say her skull was found in woods in Decatur County in September.
