The plan was to take the bus to the city center, where she would meet her boyfriend.
While standing at the bus stop at around 6.05 to 6.15 p.m., she was noticed by witnesses just standing there at the bus stop, looking up and down the street, waiting for the bus to come.
She stood there, she took a Snapchat selfie of herself and posted it to her story with the caption that she was freezing cold at the time.
However, Bobbi Ann never made it to her destination.
She never arrived to the city center and she never saw her boyfriend that evening.
And by the time she was supposed to return back home,
She didn't show.
Literally an hour after Bobby left home, her parents were a bit suspicious because she literally was always in communication with them while she was out.
Then by 9 p.m., Bobby's boyfriend called her family, asking them if she was still at home.
Of course, that really panicked the family because she was supposed to have been with her boyfriend that evening.
So they started calling around to different friends who could have also been with Bobby that day, but literally nobody had seen or heard from her after the bus stop that day.
Bobby's brother, Lee, also tried calling her cell phone multiple times to see if she would answer his calls.
but all of his calls were just going straight to voicemail.
So, her family reported her as a missing person, and from there, the searches, as well as the pleas for her safe return, began.
They searched all across different areas of Plymouth, on ground and by helicopter.
A Facebook group was started to spread information about her disappearance, attracting more than 13,000 members, all with the common goal of finding Bobby.
For the three days that followed, they searched all around the bus stop, the wooded areas, and anywhere else they could think to look.
At the time, there were witnesses who saw her at the bus stop like I said.
Nobody thought that anything seemed out of the ordinary.
She was just waiting for the bus.
