New pieces of the Holly Bobo murder case will come to light in a new true crime podcast that looks back at the 2011 abduction and killing of the Tennessee nursing student.
ABC Audio and 20/20 announced the launch of a new six-episode podcast, What Happened to Holly Bobo?, on May 6, PEOPLE learns. The podcast is hosted by GMA3 co-anchor and Senior National Correspondent, Eva Pilgrim.
The podcast will include unreleased audio from a police interview with Bobo’s brother, Clint Bobo, hours after her disappearance.
ABC’s latest true-crime podcast reexamines the high-profile case of Holly Bobo, a 20-year-old nursing student who disappeared from her home in rural Tennessee in 2011. Her remains were found three years later by ginseng foragers, about six miles from the home of Zach Adams, who was later convicted in connection with her death.
In the years since, the case has continued to stir controversy, with Adams’ appellate attorney now arguing that key witness Jason Autry lied during his testimony.
Although several people were imprisoned and authorities maintain confidence in the convictions, new defense efforts have fueled ongoing public debate over the unanswered questions surrounding Bobo’s disappearance and murder.
Bobo vanished on April 13, 2011, and afterward, her brother Clint told police he saw his sister walk into the woods outside the family’s semi-rural home. The nursing student’s body wasn’t discovered until September 2014.
Three years later, Adams was found guilty of first-degree murder and aggravated rape in connection with Bobo’s death. He was later sentenced to life in prison without parole, while his brother John Adams was also convicted and sentenced to 35 years in prison for helping facilitate the murder.

A third man, Jason Autry, testified that he helped Zach Adams bury Bobo’s body. In exchange for testifying, prosecutors did not charge Autry. However, Autry was later arrested and sentenced to 19 years in prison on unrelated federal weapons charges, according to The Associated Press.
The years-long investigation gained national media attention, and the trial surrounding Bobo’s murder featured the victim’s family taking the witness stand. Bobo’s mother fainted while testifying about her daughter, and her brother Clint also provided key testimony as the last person to see his sister alive, PEOPLE reported at the time.
