performance. well, maybe that s my problem. i ve been wondering. tennessee officials looking into the bizarre disappearance of 20-year-old holly bobo are setting the record straight. they say they haven t ruled anyone out as a suspect, not even her brother or her boyfriends. i think obviously both of those people would have been witnesses, especially her brother, being the person that last saw her. but i can tell you that we have not eliminated anyone from this investigation. the woman was last seen wednesday and her brother says she was led into the woods by a mysterious man wearing camouflage. nbc s tom truong is live in parsons, tennessee. the big question is, if he saw it, did he try to stop it? reporter: well, that s unclear right now, contessa. they re not really giving a whole lot of information, they won t release the 911 tapes either about her brother calling in after he saw the part of the abduction.
and continued through yesterday. we got two, three! some 243 storms reported in 13 states. the worst tornado outbreak in decades. in gloucester county, virginia, a 14-year-old barely escaped. about right over there, i was right there. hundreds of homes damaged or destroyed including joe style s house in raleigh, north carolina. she had dove down on her two kids, and then i came and dove on her and we heard the loud bang and, you know, the doors and glass and everything flying around. besides oklahoma, arkansas, alabama, mississippi, virginia were also hit. but north carolina took the biggest punch. 94 twisters in just one day. one was on the ground for almost 63 consecutive miles. that s almost an hour that this storm, the tornado was literally just roaring right along the ground. that s what made this so unique. that s why there are so many fatalities. this store manager saved his workers and customers, insisting everyone move to the offices in the back of
quickly and he did see blood, but at this point we don t know if it is holly s blood or the individual who took her into the woods. okay. tom truong, thank you very much from parsons. a strategic move by rebel forces as they face new fighting with moammar gadhafi s troops. a live report from libya next. is the meat you buy in the supermarket safe? there are chilling numbers just out from a new study. and if you re getting ready to write that check to the tax man, how about some freebies? what can you expect in that front on monday? there are some. we ll tell you how to find some on msnbc saturday. [ twig snaps ] [ whispering ] shhhh. did you hear that? it sounded like the chocobeast. the what? half man, half beast. he ll stop at nothing to sink his fangs into people who steal other people s chocolate temptations. you guys have nothing to worry about, right? aaah!
what he did, he immediately contacted 911. and he had reasons to believe that he was not an attacker. reporter: and in terms of a person in a person of interest in this case at this point, they say they don t have one. the search resumes again 7:00 this morning, local time. it is a massive search, there are hundreds of people who have been gathering here. they moved this to this is now the staging area, that used to be at a church. this houses a lot of people. there are a ton of supplies in there. a lot of people are dedicating their time because they know holly as a student, as a classmate, as a neighbor, as a church member and at this point they re trying to find any sign of her to hopefully return her home to her parents. tom, i just want to get clear here. so in terms of the brother, was the brother inside the house and then he looks outside and sees his sister. why did he think it might have been the boyfriend? did he get a look at the guy s face, was it all from behind
disappearance of holly bobo. investigators and volunteers are searching the woods near holly s tennessee home. she was last seen being led away from right there by a man wearing camouflaged clothing. initial reports said holly was dragged away by, but investigatore e investigators are clarifying what happened. he actually had an arm, holding her, we feel she knew that she was in fear of her life, so she was complying with his commands. tom truong is live for us in tennessee. this is some story, tom. anything from the searchers? have they found anything. reporter: they did. we talked to the tennessee bureau of investigation, the special agent in charge yesterday, he says that the searchers have found several items. he s not giving too many details of what they found, but he did give a little bit of information of one item and they described it as a lunch purse. we went out to that site yesterday. it is a pretty remote area, i would say about six to seven
