HENDERSON COUNTY, Tenn. – A longtime friend of Jeff Pearcy, one of four men charged in the Holly Bobo case, testified against the 42-year-old man Tuesday afternoon.
During Tuesday’s hearing, witness Sandra King said Pearcy showed her cell phone video footage of who she believed was an emotional Bobo in May, more than three years after the nursing student disappeared from her Parsons, Tennessee, home.
King added the woman in the video was tied up and being sexually assaulted by suspect Zachary Adams.
Pearcy, however, denies ever showing King a cell phone video.
He continues to maintain his innocence and says that he never met Bobo, but had seen her picture posted throughout the community several times since her disappearance.
“The first I heard about a video was when investigators were questioning me and the more that I told them I didn’t know what they were talking about the more mad they got,” Pearcy previously told News 2.
Bobo, then 20 years old, was last seen on the morning of April 13, 2011 being led away from her family’s home by an unidentified man.
Zachary Adams and Jason Autry were charged with kidnapping and murder earlier this year.
Bobo’s body has never been found.
Pearcy and his half-brother Mark are both charged with accessory after the fact and tampering with evidence.
Anyone with information on the case should call the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation at 1-800-TBI-FIND.
