Kyron Horman, age 7, missing in Oregon

[ramseycat]

I'm a great friend, but if you kill a child, I'm turning you in. Under no circumstances will I help you dispose or cover that up.

Exactly. Now if Vhole or Freakin Al happen to disappear........

I am not saying these people are in their right mind... some people are very easy to convince to do very stupid things... trying to explain why someone would use the 5^th when they have supposedly nothing to hide you have to start thinking differently than you would normally act. I wouldnt kill a child either but I can picture a scenario where this happens. isn't it the drew Peterson case that the brother in law thought afterwards he could have been involved getting rid of the body of the 4^th wife in the blue barrel and didn't even realize it till later... blue barrel is now gone I believe and hasn't been located.

Maybe some movement on this case.

Desiree Young on Tuesday withdrew her civil suit against the stepmother of her missing son Kyron Horman, saying she didn't want to jeopardize the 3-year-old criminal investigation into the boy's disappearance.

In front of the downtown Justice Center, Young announced she had been advised by her lawyer to drop the case against Terri Moulton Horman.

Kyron's father, Kaine Horman, also dismissed a restraining order against Terri Horman, and their stalled divorce case is set to proceed next month.

This is the part that gives me hope Kyron will be found:

Young's attorneys already had questioned Terri Horman's son and Terri Horman's friend, DeDe Spicher, but Spicher declined to answer any significant questions during her deposition. Spicher has since testified in recent weeks before a grand jury, Young's lawyer, Elden Rosenthal, revealed Tuesday.

If Spicher has testified before the grand jury maybe some light will be shed on Kyron's disappearance. I hope he will be found to give his parents some closure.

Hope you're right, Cheyne.

Been waiting for some movement in this case for what seems like forever.

I have a friend who lives in Portland. When I visited in 2011, we checked out Sauvie Island; it was bigger and more remote than I had imagined.

There were a couple of Kyron billboards along the drive, but I understand that Clear Channel has removed most of them now (I think Desiree has purchased some new ones though).



Kyron's case gets to me; really wanna know exactly what happened to him and see some justice served.

I feel anxious whenever I see this thread bumped. Yesterday is made my heart thump when I first saw it on top.

I feel anxious whenever I see this thread bumped. Yesterday is made my heart thump when I first saw it on top.

Will be in Portland for a couple of days in October; hoping there's finally some movement in the case by then.

Don't know if Desiree is being overly optimistic about what was found during the latest search, but sure hope it helps investigators. We'll see.

Snip:
(CBS) PORTLAND, Ore. - The mother of Kyron Horman, a missing Oregon boy who vanished in 2010 at the age of 7, said during a news conference Sunday that a recent search for her son was "successful," CBS affiliate KOIN reports.



"If he was here, he would say thank you very much," Desiree Young said of her son.

Following the news conference Sunday, Lt. Steve Alexander with the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office confirmed some items recovered in the search had been turned over to the sheriff's office. He said the sheriff's office does not know whether the items are significant to the case and cannot officially call the items evidence at this time, the station reports.

I still sometimes think about this little boy. He's gone forever, isn't he.

[aussiefriend]

I went to the beginning of this thread just now Duch. See how LCs words and expertise resonate even more louder than before. I think LC is right, I think the redheaded stepmom is suspect. It is written on her face. You can see it. Bad acting.

I still sometimes think about this little boy. He's gone forever, isn't he.

There's no body or any evidence that Kyron was killed, but odds are against him being alive. Family members are almost always at the top of the suspect list. Though Kyron's bio parents appear to have been cleared long ago, public suspicion remains heavily on his stepmom, Teri Horman.

Still, there is some possibility that he was taken off school grounds that morning by a visitor who lured him away and wanted to keep him; that possibility is reportedly being investigated more closely now.

We've seen kids who were missing for years turn up alive under similar circumstances - Shawn Hornbeck, Steven Stayner, Jaycee Dugard, Michelle/Amanda/Gina... I hope that, against the odds, Kyron Horman's name will be on the list of survivors one day.

[HairOfTheDog]

It's encouraging to see that the investigation is still active. I so hope, against all odds, that Kyron is found alive some day.

He's been missing for almost 5 years now.

Today's news:

Law enforcement officials in Oregon have issued a new missing poster of Kyron Horman, and are reminding the public that there is a $50,000 reward for information in the case of the boy who's been missing for nearly five years.

On Thursday, the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office publicized the reward in the June 4, 2010 disappearance of the boy, who was seven at the time. He was reportedly dropped off at his Portland school for a science fair that day by his stepmother, Terri Horman. He was last seen around 8:45 a.m. as he walked down the hall to his classroom, but was reported absent from school, according to CBS affiliate KOIN.

"The Multnomah County Sheriff's Office and our agency partners in this investigation remain committed to solving this crime, and bringing Kyron home," the agency said in a statement released Thursday.

A newly-released poster includes age-progressed images of the child. After Kyron Horman vanished, investigators launched the state's largest search operation, calling in federal investigators and the Oregon National guard. More than 200 of the boy's schoolmates and their parents were interviewed by police, reports KOIN.

The sheriff's office released a photograph with pictures of Terri Horman and her white Ford pickup several months after the boy's disappearance. However, no suspects have been named in the case and no one has been charged.

A grand jury has received evidence in the case and is impaneled to hear testimony, according to the sheriff's office.

A full-time detective remains primarily assigned to the case, and a retired FBI agent is also helping to review the evidence amassed by investigations, sheriff's officials say. More than 4,000 tips have been received in the case, officials say.
