Kind of my thoughts. Just throwing it out there but maybe some psycho dropped it to taunt like VIA suggested. That is if she was abducted to begin with. I just hope her family can have some sort of closure. That is most important at this point.
The family has released a photo of her w/this purse in the picture. The Jackson Sun newspaper where I live has a small photo of her on the front page. This looks to be the same purse.
There is a link to an interview with her brother, which strikes me as an odd interview. His mom called him at the time of the abduction and told him that it wasn't Hollys boyfriend and to grab a gun to help her. Hollys mom knew the boyfriend was away on a hunting trip, and Holly's brother (also the best friend of the boyfriend) didn't know this?
