Holly Lynn Bobo (October 12, 1990 – c. April 13, 2011) was an American woman who disappeared on April 13, 2011, from her family home in Darden, Tennessee. She was last seen alive by her brother, Clint, shortly before 8 a.m., walking into the woods outside her home with a man wearing camouflage. In September 2014, Bobo's partial remains were found in northern Decatur County, and her death was ruled a homicide.

Tennessee lawmakers have overwhelmingly passed the "Holly Bobo Act" that would up the age for endangered child alerts to 21.
If signed into law, House Bill 2308/Senate Bill 2464 would require the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation to apply their current endangered child and young adult alert program to anyone under the age of 21 who meets the criteria.
The TBI's current system is used to notify media outlets and the state about missing minors, much like the America's Missing Broadcast Emergency Response (AMBER) Alert system.
"It's difficult to imagine the hopelessness a family goes through when a loved one goes missing. Every moment is critical," Haston said. "I'm grateful to members of the General Assembly for their strong support of the Holly Bobo Act. This law could make all the difference in saving a young person's life and bringing them home."
The AMBER Alert system is still federally-funded program and only includes children under 18 years old.
The Amber alert was created in reference to Amber Rene Hagerman, who was abducted and later found murdered in 1996.
