PARSONS, Tenn. -
Students at Decatur County Middle School released hundreds of balloons on Thursday to observe the sixth month anniversary of the abduction of Holly Bobo.
Nearly 500 balloons were released at the event, "Hope for Holly" as a way for students to show their support for the Bobo family.
Attached to each of the pink balloons was a color photograph of the missing nursing student and a number to call if anyone had information that may help solve the case.
Wednesday marked Bobo's 21st birthday.
Family, friends and church members gathered at two separate services to pray and fast for the young woman.
Bobo was last seen in mid-April when she was believed to have been kidnapped from her home in west Tennessee.
She is described as five foot, three inches tall, weighing 110 pounds with blue eyes and shoulder-length blonde hair.
She was last seen wearing a pink shirt, blue jeans and black flip flops.
Bobo's family is offering an $85,000 reward for information leading to her location.
Anyone with information on her disappearance or whereabouts is urged to contact the TBI at 1-800-TBI-FIND.
