Tenn. man charged with 2011 kidnapping, murder of Holly Bobo
Neighbor Zachary Adams, 29, was charged Wednesday with first-degree murder and aggravated kidnapping in connection to the 20-year-old nursing student's disappearance from her Decatur County home in April 2011.

After nearly three years of mystery behind the disappearance of Tennessee nursing student Holly Bobo, authorities have announced an arrest in the case.

Authorities have charged neighbor Zachary Adams, 29, with first-degree murder and aggravated kidnapping in connection to the 20-year-old's disappearance from her Decatur County home in April 2011.

State, federal and local authorities announced the stunning murder charge against Adams to audible cries in a Dacaturville courtroom Wednesday afternoon.

The charges come less than a week after a search warrant was performed at his home along with multiple other locations in the area.

The family of Bobo, who were not at Wednesday's conference, had never given up hope that they'd find her alive. She was reported as last seen by her brother walking away from their home with an unknown man.

In December, the family announced a $250,000 reward for information leading to her abductor's capture.

The connection between Adams -- who has a prior arrests including for domestic violence -- and the young woman was not revealed by authorities.

They instead stressed their determination to stay tight-lipped about releasing any details about their on-going investigation, including whether Bobo's body has been found.

"This is too important, this is very, very important. It's taken us three years to get to this point. We can't mess this up now," said Tenn. Bureau of Investigation Director Mark Gwyn.

As for Bobo's family, who were informed about the charges ahead of Wednesday's conference, they were described as devastated by the news.

"They've been devastated for three years but we hope this is the beginning of closure," said Gwyn.

Adams, who has been held behind bars since Friday on an unrelated aggravated assault charge, is now being held without bond.

Sad :( I hope her parents find some relief in finding her.

What a jerkoff smiling!

I guess that is for his penpal request

He looks like a zombie in the other shots.

[Darkest Angel]

Finally!!

[Megamel29]

I'm thinking maybe they will drop the death penalty in exchange for him telling them where he put her body. I feel bad for her brother who some suspected of hurting her.

[Pyramid_Head]

He fucking looks like Lurch from the Addams Family. He probably killed her when she denied his advances.

[Sharon]

Terminate the evil bastard

[Photoplay]

I do hope they find her body. Closure for the parents/family.

[Kelseecat65]

What a piece of shit. I remember this case.

[TwistedSisterr]

oh thank goodness!! Bless her heart, she sounds like she was a motivated wonderful young lady, and her poor family...
Finally, the beginning of the end of this horrific catastrophe

[kellyhound]

A man who Tennessee authorities tried to indict in connection with the kidnapping and killing of a nursing student has committed suicide, his attorney told Tuesday.

The investigation into the killing of Holly Bobo has not been smooth. The suicide of Shayne Austin is the latest twist.

Bobo, a 20-year-old nursing student, disappeared in April 2011. Her remains were not found until last September, in Decatur County, Tennessee.

Shayne Austin was never indicted, but was in prosecutors' sights and was threatened with possible charges.

Two other men -- Jason Wayne Autry and Zachary Adams -- are charged with especially aggravated kidnapping and first-degree murder in Bobo's killing. Both have pleaded not guilty.

Austin's role in the case, according to attorney Luke Evans, was to cooperate with authorities in exchange for immunity from prosecution.
