Holly Bobo’s family has been desperate searching for her since she was taken from her home in 2011 and now investigators may finally have a break in the case, having made an arrest that may be related to the case and searching property that is just 15 miles from the home from which she disappeared. The blonde nursing student was last seen in 2011 by her brother walking away from her Tennessee home into the woods with a man wearing camouflage, whom he mistakenly thought was her boyfriend at the time.

UPDATE
DECATURVILLE, TN (WSMV) –The man whose property is at the center of a TBI search in connection with the disappearance of nursing student Holly Bobo had bond set at $1 million Monday in an unrelated aggravated assault charge. Zachary Rye Adams appeared in Decatur County General Sessions Court on Monday after his arrest on Friday hours after TBI and FBI agents began searching his property. Decatur County General Sessions Judge Rick Woods raised the bail from $250,000 that was set by the county’s judicial commissioner on Friday night.
Adams was upset at a reporter who took a photo of him as he was led from the courtroom after the arraignment. “Don’t take picture of me, man,” Adams said to a reporter from The Jackson Sunnewspaper. “I’m not the one.”
According to reports, the Bobo investigation was not mentioned in court. Authorities have not said whether the assault charge is related to the disappearance of Bobo in April 2011. According to the arrest warrant, Adams held a black revolver to the head of Amber Bray at his Holladay home and threatened to kill her. The affidavit also said that Adams pulled a knife on her while threatening to “gut” her.
Bobo was last seen on the morning of April 13, 2011, where she was seen by her brother being led away from her Darden, TN home. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and Federal Bureau of Investigation began executing search warrants on Adams’ home and property off Highway 69 south of Interstate 40 on Friday afternoon. Adams had been released from the Benton County jail on Feb. 26 on drug charges.
The Jackson Sun reported that Adams did not have a lawyer at the arraignment hearing. He said he needed to contact his grandfather to arrange to hire a lawyer but had not been able to make a telephone call since Saturday night. Decatur County officials transferred Adams to the jail in Chester County. Officials said the Decatur County jail was overcrowded.
