Singer Whitney Duncan Prays For Safe Return of Kidnapped Cousin

By Christo Varghese Posted Apr 18th 2011 03:30AM

Country singer Whitney Duncan is pleading and praying for the safe return of her kidnapped cousin, Holly Bobo.

The Boot is reporting that on April 13, Bobo was dragged from her home in Parsons, Tenn., by a man dressed in camouflage in an apparent home invasion.

Bobo's brother Clint witnessed the abduction from inside the house and saw her attacker drag her from the carport into the wooded area nearby.

RadarOnline.com is reporting that Clint thought the man she was with was her boyfriend. It was only later when he found blood outside the house that he called the police to report the abduction.

Duncan made requests for prayers for Bobo's safety via her Facebook page and Twitter account. "My cousin Holly was kidnapped this morning," she wrote. "Please pray for her & our family. This is really sad & shocking."

Duncan and Bobo's family have offered a $25,000 reward to anyone with information leading to the safe return of Holly.

Yesterday Duncan tweeted, "Lord, lead us to Holly today."

She also slammed reports that suggested Clint may have had something to do with Bobo's disappearance. "My cousin Clint, Holly's brother, is NOT a suspect & I'm sick of people saying that he is. He has been cleared for good reason. Shut up."

Radar is also reporting that more than 1,300 volunteers have been combing the area looking for clues, and Duncan is reaching out for more help in finding her missing cousin.

Watch Duncan sit down with ABC to talk about her cousin.

"Clint thought the man she was with was her boyfriend. It was only later when he found blood outside the house that he called the police to report the abduction... [he]saw her attacker drag her from the carport into the wooded area nearby." Wha-at? So, it would be ok for her boyfriend to drag her outside... and he waited to call the police until after he found the blood! Sounds fishy to me...

By whatever

That's because they aren't reporting correctly. It's already been established in other reports that she was not dragged away as previously reported. She was seen by her brother walking into the woods. This story is inaccurate. No wonder everyone thinks he screwed up or is involved...they can't report things correctly!

Thats exactly what I thought when I read that.

By FRANCES WILLIAMS

I'm with you!

By Terri

I wasn't even thinking "fishy." How about any time one sees a man "dragging" a woman anywhere one should call the police. It's abuse in the least.

By BERNICE

IT SEAMS FISHY TO ME THAT A BROTHER WOULD WATCH ANYONE DRAG HIS SISTER INTO THE WOODS. WHO DOES THAT. OF COURSE HE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN SOMETHING WAS WRONG, AND WENT OUTSIDE AND ALSO CALLED POLICE RIGHT AWAY. I WOULD HAVE DONE THAT AND SCREAMED TO GET ATTENTION.BEFORE THIS GUY HAD A CHANCE TO EVEN GET HER IN THE WOODS. SOMETHING IS REALLY WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE. I PRAY FOR HER SHE IS SO BEAUTIFUL.

By Too Short

I thought that suspicious myself, that you would watch someone drag your sister from the carport,into the woods; and not try to help!! I would have ran out the door with phone in hand, screaming my head off!!!!
I can only hope and pray that when they do find her, that she is okay!! Missing since Weds. morning though; it doesn't sound very promising!!
It is in Gods hands!!

This is for Susan - grow up. Just because someone types in capital letters doesn't mean that they are shouting. GET IT!

By dickschnei

Posting in all caps is certainly considered to be shouting - at least to anyone that has been on the Internet. That has been the protocol for nearly the entire time that the Internet has been in existence. It is always appreciated, at least to most of us, when someone informs the newbies that they are doing this.

By neesee

So would you pray for her if she was not your idea of beautiful? What does being beautiful make her any more deserving of your prayers? I see where your priorities lie.

By Bubbles

Praying is awesome but how about you get your butt out there and look for your cousin too!?

By pirateblondie94

Poor Holly. She's so beautiful and by the remarks of all the people in her town she's loved too. Hopefully she will be found. And as for the brother: HOW STUPID ARE YOU?!?!? If it was my sister i would have found a knife, a bat, a rock, SOMETHING! There's no way I'd watch my little sister get drug into the woods while thinking hmm it's just her boyfriend. Sheesh.. Praying for you Holly.

By Pahos

This is Tenn., why didn't he grab a Rifle?
In fact I hardly know a pretty young gal like this that can't fight and handle a gun that lives in Tenn?
Of course the story would have ended quickly, and not been much of a story, Bad guy breaks in... Gal shoots him...
We need a bit more of that... Good over Evil.

"Clint thought the man she was with was her boyfriend. It was only later when he found blood outside the house that he called the police to report the abduction."

What kind of Friggin Moron are you Clint ..????????
So what IF you thought 'it' was her boyfriend ! Seeing anyone being dragged anywhere (especially into the woods) warrants a call to 911. IDIOT You probably saw & know a hell of a lot more than you said... I'm sure COPS have their EYE on you.

By Kelli

This report is inaccurate. She was NOT dragged away. Her brother looked out and saw her being led away. The police have already stated that neither her boyfriend nor her brother are suspects. And anyone criticizing the brother...well we ALL can claim perfect hindsight vision. You were not there.

By Frances

Dear sunsetblond, My "Feelings Exactly!"

By butros

Why didn't the brother run outside to get her back.....he dragged her into a wooded area?! That doesn't sound good.

By Janeyre

The brother's version is really strange. I hope she isn't harmed or worse. This is just so odd. I mean the version the brother gave. It keep changing also...

By sweetiepie058

This is very sad that this young girl has been abducted and her brother stood by and watched it happen.. How is it the brother didn't run after his sister calling her name, i mean we are talking about his own sister here. If the police have ruled him out they better do a double check on this one unless they are too lazy to go any further in the investigation.. Nobody in their right mind is going to let someone they love get dragged away into the woods and do nothing!!
