Brother of murder suspect charged with raping Holly Bobo
DECATUR COUNTY, Tenn. -- The brother of the man charged with kidnapping and killing Holly Bobo has been indicted for her rape.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation said Tuesday that 26-year old John Dylan Adams has been indicted on two counts of raping Holly Bobo, whose remains were found in September in Decatur County. Prosecutors charged Adams with two counts of rape and say he admitted to raping her the day she disappeared.
Adams had already been charged with tampering with evidence in the case of Bobo, who was reported missing on April 13, 2011.
The TBI says Adams acknowledged he was involved in the rape of the 20-year-old nursing student the day she disappeared. He is being held without bond and has a hearing set for Oct. 22.
Adams is the brother of Zach Adams, who is charged with felony murder and aggravated kidnapping charges in Holly Bobo's death.
Jason Autry, 39, has been indicted on charges of especially aggravated kidnapping and first degree felony murder.
Brothers Jeffrey and Mark Pearcy are charged with tampering with evidence and accessory after the fact.
Prosecutors have also been seeking an indictment against Shayne Austin who was previously granted immunity.
The TBI is looking into claims a video tape exists of Bobo tied-up after her disappearance.
Bobo was last seen April 13, 2011 at her home in Decatur County.
The TBI identified her remains September 8.
