The hunt for kidnapped nursing student Holly Bobo took a new twist today as it emerged another young woman living nearby suffered a similar attempted abduction.Heather Sullivan, 31, who lives only 45 minutes from the Parsons home where Holly was taken last week, said a 'tall skinny man' tried to grab her arm as she got out of the car at her home in January.
Mrs Sullivan was saved only after dropping a glass lamp she was carrying, which shattered - alerting her boyfriend who came running out and scared the attacker away.
Up to 1,300 volunteers are daily scouring the area near Holly's home, in rural Decatur County, Indiana, in a desperate bid to find the attractive student last seen being dragged into a wood by a man wearing camouflage clothing.

Country singer Whitney Duncan, a cousin of Holly, has been actively campaigning for her return. Read More
