Holly Bobo — Distilled: When the Evidence Refuses to Fit
In April 2011, Holly Bobo was abducted from her family’s home in rural Tennessee. Years later, Zach Adams was convicted and sentenced to life in prison. But even after a jury verdict, appellate review, and years of public certainty, the evidence has never settled cleanly.
In this episode of Dark Dialogue: Distilled, John McColl steps away from courtroom narrative and emotional momentum to examine what still doesn’t add up.
This is not a retelling of the case. It’s a focused discussion of what’s happening now—as Zach Adams’ post-conviction challenge remains under judicial review—and why the physical evidence, eyewitness description, cell-phone data, timelines, and witness testimony continue to conflict with the official story.
Topics covered include:
This episode does not claim to solve the case. It asks a simpler, harder question: does the explanation we were given actually hold up?
A companion video series is currently in production, where the evidence discussed here will be shown visually—route by route, timeline by timeline—for listeners who want to see why these discrepancies matter.
Listener discretion advised.
Once it’s been distilled… the truth is what remains.
