SAVANNAH, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – Dylan Adams, who is charged with kidnapping, raping, and killing Tennessee nursing student Holly Bobo pleaded guilty to a lesser offense of facilitating murder, according to WKRN News 2.
Adams now faces 35 years in prison without the possibility of parole. He is the brother of Zach Adams, who was convicted of murder in September.
He appeared in court Monday afternoon in Savannah, Tennessee, where the plea deal was announced.
Judge C. Creed McGinley had given prosecutors and lawyers for Dylan Adams a Monday deadline to reach an agreement that would let him avoid trial in the death of Bobo.
Bobo’s family addressed the media briefly after the plea deal was reached.
“She’s still the last thing on my mind every night and the first thing in the morning,” mother Karen Bobo told News 2.
Bobo was 20 years old when she disappeared from her home in Parsons in April 2011. Her remains were found in September 2014 in woods not far from her home.
Adams’ older brother Zach Adams is serving life plus 50 years in prison for kidnapping, raping, and killing Bobo.
Jason Autry, who is also accused in the case and testified against Zach Adams, has already reached a plea deal in the case.
