After a year, woman’s disappearance still a mystery

Friday marked one year since Holly Bobo disappeared into the woods behind her home in Darden, Tenn., but her pastor, Don Franks, said he is still confident his lost congregation member will be found.

“We are as determined as ever to find Holly,” he said of himself and the friends and family members who still work tirelessly to bring her home. “Every day we work on trying to locate the new pieces of information we need.”

Early on, just after Holly was taken from her home by an unknown man dressed in camouflage, Franks became the spokesman for the Bobo family. When they were at a loss for words, he stayed by their side and stood before the media.

As months rolled by, Holly’s mother, Karen; her father, Dana; and brother, Clint, opened up to the media about what happened the morning Holly was abducted. Still, Franks continued to raise publicity for the 20-year-old woman who sang in his church.

He is not alone.
