WKRN News 2 Reporting

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Authorities have made two additional arrests in the ongoing investigation regarding the disappearance and murder of nursing student Holly Bobo.

Jeffrey Pearcy, 42, was charged with tampering with evidence and accessory after the fact on May 29. His brother, 38-year-old Mark Pearcy, faces the same charges and was arrested two days later on May 31.

A warrant obtained by News 2 states that Jeffrey Pearcy “had shown a visual recording on an electronic device to an individual.” The recording “has information that will prove to be beneficial in the prosecution of a current ongoing investigation” by the TBI.

Investigators have not said exactly what the visual recording shows or how they originally learned about it.

“Out of respect for the judicial process, we cannot speak to the particular possible pieces of evidence in this case. We continue our work to follow the leads wherever they might lead,” TBI spokesperson Josh Devine said.

However, Jeffrey Pearcy’s lawyer, Olin Baker, told News 2 the affidavit is inaccurate and his client’s position is that he has neither seen a video with Holly in it nor does one exist as far as he knows.

Jeffrey Pearcy is being held in the Henderson County jail and is set for arraignment Wednesday at 8:30 a.m.

Mark Pearcy is in custody at the Carroll County jail. He appeared in court on June 9.

News 2 learned Mark Pearcy also has other charges unrelated to the Holly Bobo case for unlawful possession of a weapon and sex offender registration violation. He was convicted of statutory rape with a prior conviction in October of 2000 and recently failed to update the registry with a new address, resulting in the violation charge.

Two other men, Zachary Adams and Jason Autry, remain jailed for first degree murder and aggravated kidnapping in the Bobo case.

Shayne Austin, another man connected to the case, was initially granted immunity in exchange for his cooperation in the investigation but apparently failed to comply. He has not, however, been arrested.

Bobo disappeared from her west Tennessee home, near Parsons, on the morning of April 13, 2011.

Her body has not been found and the investigation is ongoing.

“We won’t stop until we find a sense of justice and closure for the family and friends of Holly Bobo,” Devine said.

Anyone with information on the case should call the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation at 1-800-TBI-FIND.
