1 soldier killed, 7 injured
in training exercise
A training exercise involving
demolitions killed one special
operations soldier and injured
seven others at the Army’s larg-
est base Thursday, just a day af-
ter 15 Marines were hurt in a fire
while training in California,
The soldiers were taken to
several hospitals, including the
Womack Army Medical Center
on base for treatment, said Lt.
Col. Rob Bockholt, a spokesman
for the U.S. Army’s Special Op-
erations Command, which is
based at Fort Bragg in North
Carolina,
Staff Sgt. Alexander R Dali-
da, 32, of Dunstable, Massachu-
setts, was killed during the exer-
cise, Bockholt said. The cause of
death is under investigation. Da-
lida, who enlisted in 2006, was
assigned to 1st Special Warfare
Training Group (Airborne).
Bockholt didn’t know the ex-
tent of the other soldiers’ inju-
ries.
Initial reports said the inju-
ries happened in an explosion,
but Bockholt says he could not
confirm that.
“There was an incident that
occurred on one of the ranges,”
Bockholt said, adding that the
command is investigating.
‘Were looking into exactly what
happened.”

Jason Autry testified in the
trial of Zachary Adams in Sa-
vannah, Tennessee. Adams, 33,
has pleaded not guilty to kid-
napping, raping and killing Hol-
ly Bobo, who was 20 when she
disappeared from her home in
Parsons on April 13, 2011
Her remains were found 31/
2 years later in woods not far
from her home in Decatur
County, about 100 miles south-
west of Nashville. Adams faces
the death penalty if convicted of
first-degree murder.
Autiy also is charged in con-
nection with Bobo’s rape, kid-
napping and slaying. He is on a
list of witnesses who could get
immunity in the case, and he
told prosecutor Jennifer Nichols
during questioning that he was
testifying because he wanted le-
niency.
Adams’ trial began Monday.
Autry’s testimony provided the
most detailed description of the
connection between Adams and
Bobo’s killing. Bobo’s brother,
Clint, has testified he saw his sis-
ter walk into woods behind their
family’s home with an unidenti-
fied man wearing camouflage
on the day she disappeared.
Autiy said Adams provided
some graphic details when he
told Autry that he, his brother
John Dylan Adams and Autry’s
cousin Shayne Austin had raped
Bobo. John Dylan Adams also is
charged in the case. His trial has
not been set. Austin was found
dead in an apparent suicide in
Florida in February 2015.
Wearing a white prison uni-
form with the words “maximum
security” on the back of his shirt,
Autiy told jurors he had been
locked up for theft and drug

moved, indicating she was still
alive. Adams retrieved a pistol
from his truck, Autiy said.
Autry said he told Adams to
wait. Autry then walked around
the area to make sure no one was
around, he said.
Autry told Adams the area
was clear. He then heard a gun-
shot coming from the location
where Adams and Bobo were.
“It sounded like, boom,
boom, boom, underneath that
bridge. It was just one shot but it
echoed,” Autry said. “Birds went
everywhere, all up under that
bridge. Then just dead silence
for just a second.”
Autry said he heard a boat
engine. Fearing capture, he and
Adams loaded Bobo’s body back
into the truck and drove away,
Autry said.
Autiy then told Adams he
had to meet his girlfriend for
lunch. But there was another
reason he wanted to leave, Autry
said.
he was jailed in the Bobo case.
He acknowledged an addiction
to methamphetamine and mor-
phine.
Autry said he’d known Za-
chary Adams for years. He said
he called Adams on the day of
Bobo’s disappearance asking
Adams for a morphine pill.
When Adams called him back,
he told Autry that he needed his
help.

Autry then drove to Austin’s
trailer, where Adams had driven
with Bobo wrapped in a blanket
in the back of his pickup truck,
Autry said. Adams was wearing
camouflage, Autry said.
Autry, whose nickname is
“Train,” said he bought a mor-
phine pill and went to Ins car,
cooked it down, mixed it with
meth and injected it.
He then walked to Adams’
