More than six years ago, a Tennessee woman disappeared without a trace and then her remains were discovered in 2014.
Experts found an indentation in Bobo's skull consistent with that of a bullet wound, according to the prosecutors in during a Hardin County court hearing.
Judge C. Creed McGinley also said the trial was to start on Sept. 11, 2017, while denying a motion to delay the trial. The state has apparently called 200 witnesses to the trial, but the judge said that those in attendance cannot wear T-shirts with the words "Justice for Holly," which became synonymous with her disappearance.
Zach Adams will be one of three defendants to face trial in her murder. Bobo was found dead near Adams's home in West Tennessee, according to reports. And prosecutors will be looking at the death penalty for Adams.
Adams has denied the charges, with his attorney stating that there is no DNA evidence linking him to Bobo's death.
"They would have found DNA in that house," Adams attorney Jennifer Thompson told WMC-TV in May. "They would have found hair in that house. They would have found a fingernail. They would have found something that placed Holly in that house. There's no chemical cleanup in that house. There's nothing that ever indicated Holly has been in that house."
Last month, officials said that a gun discovered on Memorial Day weekend was linked to her death, describing it as a "crucial piece of evidence."
Two other men, Dylan Adams and Jason Autry, were charged in Bobo's death.
All three suspects were charged with premeditated murder and murder in the perpetration of aggravated kidnapping and aggravated rape.
"We don't want anything to interfere with a fair trial and a just trial," he said.
