Fellow Inmate, Shawn Cooper’s Testimony

Another inmate, Shawn Cooper, also testified during the trial of Zach Adams. Cooper, who is waiting to be transferred to Obion County Jail where Dylan, Zach’s brother is being held, was given a ‘message’ to relay to Dylan. According to Cooper, Zach told him to tell his brother that he better “Keep his mouth shut or he would put him in a hole beside her [Holly].” Cooper also testified that Zach bragged about what he did to Holly Bobo to more than one person while in custody.

The Gruesome Details Finally Emerge

According to Prosecution, Holly was not only abducted, but she was beaten and gang-raped by Zach, Jason and Shayne. They also share how Zach asked Autry, “I need you to help bury this body,” wrapping Holly in a blanket, believing she was dead. According to one of the lawyers, Hagerman, “She was never gonna come out of that blanket alive, not a chance. [Autry] knew just how guilty he was, just how guilty they all were – and for years, he kept his secret.”
