Portland, OR – I really wish I was updating this story to tell you all that Kyron has been found – sadly, that isn’t the case. I do, however, want to keep this story updated and continue to keep the kiddo’s picture circulating. Though family members and investigators have remained fairly tight-lipped throughout the investigation, there have been a couple of interesting new developments in the case. Kaine Horman, Kyron’s father, has taken the couple’s 18-month-old daughter and vacated the home he shares with Terri Horman, Kyron’s step-mother. And friends of the Horman family say authorities encouraged Kaine to do so. Furthermore, those same friends report that Kaine has filed for both a restraining order and a divorce. Terri Horman, reportedly the last person to see Kyron, has been under intense scrutiny since he vanished more than three weeks ago. Though she has not been named a suspect, or even a person of interest, she has been singled out in a questionnaire sent to parents and staff of Skyline school just days after Kyron disappeared. Fliers bearing her picture and a picture of her truck were circulated – authorities wanted to know if anybody had seen Terri or her truck “at or near the school” the morning he disappeared. Then there’s the stories about inconsistencies in Terri’s account of what she was doing that day. Some sources say Terri’s cell phone records do not match up with the story she told authorities. And let’s not forget about the two polygraphs Terri has supposedly taken.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past few weeks, you’ve heard about Kyron and have seen the intense media coverage. The story was even featured in People Magazine. In one article, Terri’s father, Larry Moulton, is quoted as saying that Terri is cooperating with authorities, but that the questioning has been intense. He also reportedly told the magazine he thinks there is a “50/50″ chance his daughter would be arrested. He further stated that police have seized Terri’s truck twice and have questioned her several times, for up to six hours each time. Moulton later told media outlets in Portland that some of his statements were twisted around, but he didn’t specify which ones.
Shortly after the impending divorce was announced, Kaine, Kyron’s bio-mother, Desiree Young, and his step-father, Tony Young, released the following statement:
We have been fully briefed by law enforcement on the on-going criminal investigation.
We are in complete support of that investigation. We have asked the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office to facilitate releasing this statement for us due to their access to the media/flash news.
We understand that we have free access to the media but are limiting statements to the media to keep the integrity of the investigation intact.
Any actions taken by the investigation, or by us, are based on the best interests of Kyron and Kiara and comply with the law. Beyond this, we have no comment on the matter.
Desiree, Tony and Kaine
As you can see, Terri’s name is not present on the statement. In a phone interview, Desiree was asked if Terri knew they had written the statement. She responded, “No, Terri didn’t know that we wrote this statement.” She wouldn’t comment as to why Terri wasn’t involved in the writing of it. And so the plot continues to thicken.
I have only touched on some of the rumors and details surrounding Kyron’s mysterious disappearance. There is a shit-ton of information out there on this case, yet very little of it can or will be confirmed or denied by law enforcement. Also, with all the media coverage and so many links to sift through, I’m sure I’ve left out more than I have added to this story. So please, feel free to share any and all information you have come across.
