MISSING HOLLY BOBO'S MOM BEGS: 'PLEASE HELP US'

IT HAS almost been four months since a camo-clad man dragged a terrified Holly Bobo into the Tennessee woods. Since then, there have been few traces and few clues as to her whereabouts. Now, her family are desperate to find her. The 20-year-old Tennessee nursing student's disappearance has stymied cops and despite thousands of volunteer hours, her fate remains a mystery.
Her mother Karen Bobo told NewsChannel5: "I'm just doing what any loving parent would do and that is pleading and begging for anyone to come in and help."

On the openline show with hubby Dana and son Clint, Karen Bobo said she has had a hard time understanding the TBI's initial suspicion of Holly's brother. He was the first to be interrogated and the last to see her alive.
Clint Bobo said:  "I spend every day and some effort to try to bring Holly home and I either search or I go around a different local businesses and towns and distribute fliers."
Several callers offered hope and support to the family, including Bo Tuders, the father of still missing Tabitha Tuders. Karen Bobo added Natalie Holloway's mom called Sunday. EXCLUSIVE BOBO FAMILY INTERVIEW

LEIBY KLETZKY KILLER LEVI ARON'S BOAST: 'I'M FAMOUS!'

THE VIOLENT maniac charged with the kidnapping dismemberment murder of Brooklyn boy Leiby Kletzky told cops when he was busted: "I'm famous!" According to the New York Post, court documents reveal the sickening confession alleged killer Levi Aron told detectives as he went through the crime that shocked the Big Apple.
Levy said he met the lost Brooklyn boy on July 11, then smothered him and hacked him to pieces the next day. His confession reads: "I went for a towel to smother him in the side room. He fought back a little bit, but eventually he stopped breathing. I was still in panic from the fliers [plastered all over Borough Park seeking information on Leiby's
whereabouts] and afraid to bring him home."

The description of the dismemberment is not for the faint of heart.

The sick butcher said: "I carried the body to the front room to start by placing him on the red mattress, where I cut one leg at the hip. Was having trouble [getting] the leg to fit in the bag, so I had to cut at bottom . . . then separating the other leg in same places. TWISTED CHILD KILLER'S EVIL BOAST

MONSTER DAD JOHN SKELTON'S TWISTED DREAMS

SHOCKING new revelations in the case of a Michigan man whose three sons have vanished filled a courtroom yesterday. Among them: dreams of the three missing boys near a dumpster; the trio in blankets clutching their toys as their dad drove away; his chilling search for the best way to break a neck. John Skelton has pleaded no contest in the disappearance of his three boys: Andrew, 9, Alexander, 7, and Tanner, 5. The boys vanished last Thanksgiving. He has still given no explanation as
to what happened to them, only that they were safely in the hands of a secretive child protection organization. Skelton has unloaded a truckload of conflicting stories on cops. These inconsistencies convinced detectives that the boys were, in fact, dead. He faces up to 15 years when he is sentenced in September. The boys mom sobbed throughout court.

The prosecutor's office said: "Members of the investigative task force and the Lenawee County Prosecutor's Office continue to actively pursue a final solution. We consider this just one more step toward everyone's goal of fully resolving this case."

JACQUE SUE WALLER HUBBY CLAIMS: 'I DIDN'T DO IT'

CLAY WALLER says he didn't do it. The Missouri man is being eyed in the mysterious disappearance of his estranged wife Jacque Sue Waller. Jacque Waller, 39, vanished June 1 and was last seen near her soon to be ex-husband's home. But Waller told a Missouri newspaper he had nothing to do with the disappearance and that cops are needlessly focusing on him. He also whines says that he's being harassed by locals too.
Clay Waller said: "It's crazy. I got a helicopter following me every day, police are following me. I'll tell you what is not happening is that the cops are not searching for my wife."

While he has not been charged, Waller is described as a person of interest by cops and Jacque's family have no doubt he is involved in the disappearance. Waller thinks Jacque--a mum of 5-year-old triplets-- was snatched off the highway on I-55. Cops don't believe she was abducted.
Waller added: "There is no evidence a crime has been committed. If they can prove the allegations, then prove it. What can I possibly say to change peoples' minds?"

KIDNAPPED DARRICK CHARLES BROWN SAFE

A TERRIFYING kidnapping off the streets of Baltimore has unleashed a massive manhunt--happily, the child has been found safe and sound. Cops say 8-year-old Darrick Charles Brown was abducted off the street Monday night while walking with pals. He was later found unharmed at an abandoned house. One suspect is in custody and cops have released a photo of Raheem Taylor, 21, who they also want to question. The light green, newer model Ford Taurus with two people inside stopped near the group of kids, and one of the people
inside the Taurus got out, grabbed Brown and threw him into the trunk before the vehicle sped away, cops say.

Moses said a concerned citizen saw what she thought was suspicious activity at the vacant house.
A police source said: "That citizen noticed a little boy at the vacant house. She thought it may have been the little boy we were looking for, and it turns out it was."
Details were skimpy as to motive.

JURORS VISIT ANTHONY SOWELL'S HOUSE OF HORROR

CREEPY TONY

CREEPY Anthony Sowell's house, where he is accused of killing 11 woman and hiding their remains was visited by jurors before opening statements in the potentially explosive case. The alleged serial killer is thought to have lured his victims many who had a history of drug abuse  with the promise of booze or narcotics into his Cleveland, OH home.
Then, prosecutor's assert that when they were wasted, he struck, strangling or beating them to death. 
So far 11 bodies have been identified at his duplex.  
The women disappeared one by one, starting in October 2007 and ending in September 2009. It was thought that showing the jurors the Cleveland, OH home where it's believed the killings took place, would help them gain some perspective for the upcoming testimony.
But Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Judge Dick Ambrose was keen to point out that what jurors see 
"is not evidence, since conditions may have changed since the time of the events in this case."
It took nearly three weeks to seat the jury from a pool of about 200 prospective jurors and now the trial is expected to start today.
Sowell, a former marine, faces the death penalty if convicted of  eighty-five counts of murder, rape and kidnapping.
He originally pled not guilty by reason of insanity but has since changed his plea to simply "not guilty."

COPS HUNT FOR RAMONA PRICE; MURDERED IN 1961

IT’S A CASE that has been ice cold 50 years but a few lucky breaks could mean Santa Barbara cops can finally see light at the end of the tunnel. The search for Ramona Price began half-a-century ago with little progress up until now. Four teams of specially-trained sniffer dogs have identified what cops are calling an ‘area of interest’ near an overpass at U.S. 101 in Goleta.
The bridge, which is set to be torn down, makes this an ideal time to search, according to authorities. Cops now believe that the 7-year-old, who disappeared Sept. 2, 1961, was likely a victim of notorious child serial killer
Mack Ray Edwards.
Edwards, who hanged himself on death row at San Quentin in 1972, was convicted of killing three children – and confessed to the killings of three others (but due to a lack of evidence was never officially charged.) Edwards worked as a heavy equipment operator near the area that dogs have identified.
"When he was in San Quentin he told other inmates he had victims no one would ever find," said Santa Barbara Police Chief Cam Sanchez. "He said no one would ever tear up the freeways."
Sicko was wrong. Edwards claimed to have murdered as many as 20 but in an act of cowardice fitting a child killer, hung himself with a TV cord in his San Quentin cell. A Pasadena writer, Weston DeWalt,, discovered that Edwards worked on the bridge and immediately informed authorities.
That break came four years ago; cops hadn’t made the connection between Edwards and Prices’s disappearance.
Now, with the destruction of the bridge, cops are within touching distance of putting the seal on the case, and allowing Price’s 60-year-old sister, who doesn’t wish to be named, to finally mourn her sister.
