Autry told jurors he went to buy drugs from Adams the morning Holly disappeared.

The two then decided they would drive to the Tennessee River to dispose of her body. 

While there though, they realized Holly was still alive, so Autry told the jury Adams shot her. “It sounded like, ‘boom boom boom,’” Autry said in court. “It was one shot, but it echoed all the way down that river bottom.”

Autry agreed to testify after the state offered him an immunity deal.

ictor Dismore was one of several witnesses to take the stand Friday. He suppliced both Zach and Dylan Adams with drugs. 

Dismore testified about a gun that Autry gave him in exchange for pills. However, Dismore claimed he didn't trust Zach Adams, saying he "was afraid it had a body on it", meaning he thought that someone had been killed with it. 

With expert witness testimony, the state tried to prove that it was the same gun used to shoot Holly.

Ironically, before Dismore disposed of the gun, he gave it to his wife for protection after hearing the news of Holly's disappearance.

Dismore and his wife later gave the TBI information as to where the gun could be found in a creek on Holliday Road. They used metal detectors and back hoes, but, didn't find the gun.

After consulting with his wife, they figured out where the gun was after the landscape had changed significantly.
