TBI had bugged the Britt house as well. Agent Viveros recalls hearing Britt talking to who he believes was Janet shortly after, right there in the room.

But agents couldn't confirm it was Janet he was speaking to. And ultimately, the suspicions that Britt might own up to something in private were fruitless. He did not confess, and there was no smoking gun. At one point, Agent Dykus brought recordings of voice samples to Clint to see if he could identify the gravelly male voice he said he heard in the garage.

Clint was able to narrow them down to two different voices. He says he thought they sounded very similar. TBI said one of those voices was Terry Britt's. Agent Dykus kept trying to get a confession from Britt.

In 2012, Terry Britt was sent back to prison after pleading guilty to attempted rape and kidnapping in a separate case. Agent Dykus went to go visit him and recorded the conversation. Britt later said that he wasn't aware Dykus was recording. Britt continued to deny any involvement in Holly's disappearance and said he had an alibi.

At this point, 16 months had passed since Holly's disappearance. Despite efforts by TBI and FBI, they were unable to find evidence to charge Terry Britt. And within TBI, there was now disagreement. Agent Dykus' superiors felt like he had tunnel vision and thought they should look at other suspects.

Ultimately, Terry Britt was cleared by TBI, which meant investigators were back to square one and under increasing pressure to find answers.
