But he was still confused, still thinking there was a chance the man he saw with Holly was Drew. And if not, maybe it was their cousin Richie. Richie also hunted and could be wearing camouflage. As Clint tried to figure out what was going on, police cars started arriving. And then his mom made it back to the house.

As Clint tried to figure out what was going on, police cars started arriving. And then his mom made it back to the house.

The man in camouflage was not Drew and was not Richie. Clint ended up spending the rest of the day with law enforcement, answering questions and writing down everything he remembered for the police. That's why his dad saw him in the patrol car when he first got back to the house. Former Sheriff Keith Byrd was at the Bobo house when the search for Holly began.

Over the course of the search, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation sent pilots to fly over the woods to look for Holly. Water teams went into four different ponds and parts of the Tennessee River. Dogs were sent out to search for her. 75 wells were checked. And every day, more and more local volunteers signed up to look for Holly, too. Eventually, thousands of them were part of the effort.

A command center was set up for volunteers with tents and long plastic folding tables for passing out food. Lines of people in camo and boots stood in parking lots to sign up for the search.

When Holly disappeared, the weather was mild, but weeks into the search, violent storms flooded Decatur County and caused widespread damage to roads and buildings. The storms brought the search to a temporary halt. Eventually, volunteers were able to go back out in the foggy and damp weather. They put on yellow ponchos and raincoats that fell beneath their knees.

They brought binoculars, walking sticks, and their dogs. There was so much land to cover, and much of it had tall grass and thick mud. I asked U.S. Marshals agent John Walker about what the search was like.

A few days into the search, they did find something. It was hanging off a big stick in a creek. Holly's lunch bag, the one her mom had packed for her the morning she disappeared. The sandwich her mom made her was still inside. It was a potential breakthrough. Was this something that could lead to more of Holly's belongings or to Holly? Agent John Walker decided to follow the creek.

And within 30 minutes, he came upon another clue, Holly's school notebook. But investigators didn't find anything else that day. The lunch bag and notebook seemed to be dead ends.
