The Holler Never Forgot: The Disappearance of Kelly Junior Hollan

By Joe Clark

On a snowy February morning in 1982, seven-year-old Kelly Junior Hollan vanished from Pine Tree Hollow in Knott County, Kentucky-without a trace.

What began as an innocent snow day quickly spiraled into one of the most baffling missing child cases in Appalachian history. Despite an intensive search, media attention, and decades of theories, no footprints were found. No clues. No answers. Just a family-and a community-left in silence.

The Holler Never Forgot is a gripping true crime investigation by author and researcher Joe Clark, who has spent years uncovering new details, interviewing locals, and piecing together a story that refuses to be buried. Through police records, archived news reports, community memory, and firsthand accounts, Clark brings readers deep into the heart of a holler that still carries the weight of one boy's disappearance.

This is not just a story about what was lost-but about the people who never stopped looking.
