Kyron Horman Missing and Endangered: John Walsh on Today Show- “Media Will Solve This Case”
Portland, OR– Appearing on The Today Show this morning, John Walsh, parent of murdered child Adam Walsh, discusses missing 7 year old Kyron Horman. While the people of Kyron’s community are being told Kyron’s disappearance is an isolated incident, Walsh states the media will solve this case, as they do 99% of the time.
Although yesterday marked the end of the full scale ground efforts in it’s 10th day since June 4, Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office continues to seek leads and tips from the public. Recently, a list of roadways was provided to the media the MCSO is seeking any traffic video footage from June 3rd and June 4th. Did Kyron’s perpetrator make a dry run Thursday, June 3rd?
Video footage: The Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office is seeking video of traffic on 15 Portland roads taken June 3 and June 4, the day Kyron Horman disappeared. Call the search tip line and leave your contact information and the location or street address where you took the footage. The streets: Northwest Cornelius Pass Road, Northwest Germantown Road, Northwest Logie Trail Road, Northwest Rocky Point Road, Northwest Skyline Road, Northwest 185th Avenue, Northwest West Union Road, Northwest Springville Road, Bethany Boulevard, Northwest Newberry Road, Northwest McNamee Road, U.S. 30 between Northwest Rocky Point Road to Northwest Germantown Road, Northwest Kaiser Road, Northwest Thompson Road, Northwest Laidlaw Road.
Cell Ping Triangulation?
Continuing today, divers have been spotted along Sauvie Island being instructed by a Geospatial analyst. A source inside the investigation speaking to blinkoncrime.com on the condition of anonymity has confirmed the team is being guided by the aerial images taken from the National Guards Black Hawk Helicopter this past weekend. The team has been advised they are looking for a large container, possibly a suitcase or duffle bag, within the shore line. Fueling the speculation MCPD may be looking for a serial sex offender, following blinkoncrime.com article and radio interview Sunday evening, journalists in Portland requested a judge make the Boy Scout “Perv Files” public information the following day in a previously unscheduled court appearance. On Monday, the judge promised to “get a decision out as fast as I can.” The jury awarded Lewis $1.4 million in compensatory damages and assessed the Scouts $18.5 million in punitive damages. The 1,247 files were described in court Monday as covering two decades and totaling more than 20,000 pages. The groups seeking the records are The Oregonian, The New York Times, Oregon Public Broadcasting, KGW-TV, The Associated Press and Courthouse News Service. Their lawyer, Dan Lindahl of Portland, cited the state constitution’s Bill of Rights: “No court shall be secret, but justice shall be administered, openly and without purchase.” Contributing editor Jason Mateos, Klaasend

Blink,
What is Youth Football Fundamentals?
Did you ever have a day where you just knew you should not touch a keyboard?
lol, my mistake, wrong link.
B
Your child is missing and you go and work out at the gym, play facebook games and generally act like it’s a normal day? Something doesnt sit right with me on that one. It has that “Casey Anthony” feeling. But if it’s not SM, then I still find those actions odd.
But a white truck with someone matching Kyron’s description was seen an hour or so after he was last seen at the school. A women was reported to be driving according to a truck driver that witnessed it.
Your child is missing and you go and work out at the gym, play facebook games and generally act like it’s a normal day? Something doesnt sit right with me on that one. It has that “Casey Anthony” feeling. But if it’s not SM, then I still find those actions odd.
Why did SM leave Kyron a few feet from the classroom? Why didnt she walk him into the classroom to make sure an adult was there? I ALWAYS take my grandson inside the class and make sure I see a teacher.
Are the police staying with the family to make someone nervous? Im sure watching body language, listening to conversation, etc. helps.
MY brain just cant stop trying to figure this one out, although I have no inside information. Just my my trying to put together what few puzzle pieces I have and my intuition.
Hey Blink! I see the info I gave you isn’t up so I’m taking that as you’re working on it
I sure hope I was able to give you some useful info. If you want that record I was talking about, let me know & I’ll forward it to you. You can just use the info and redact whatever you want. Just so you know, I’m trying to be thorough with everyone surrounding Kyron. I sure I hope I find something that you find helpful. That one email bothers me though. I’ll try to get on here later. Good luck & have a great night!
Titch the Tarver thing is not jibing, and I need to be careful, but your not the only person to find that… There are some other oddities, just and odd day
B
Does anyone know which 2/3 grade teacher was Kyron’s? I see three possibilities.
31. HK At first, I too thought the step-mother’s actions to be forced, but the more I watched her, the more I realize she is the mother in the group. It seems she checks around to see if anyone else needs comfort before she herself lets go. I also think she is feeling guilt about what ifs. What if I walked him into the classroom? What if I made sure he was buddied up before I left? What if I watched him go to his classroom?
I know I would be feeling that. Maybe the Mom has expressed these things to her as she (Mom) seemed to push off her comfort at first. It would have been reasonable for the step-mom to feel her child was safe within the walls of the school, there is no reason for her to be faulted for this. In the absence of someone to blame, we look for someone to pin our frustrations on, imo.
Blink, I hope you feel better. I know this is eating the heck out of you, as it is me. Take some time for you.
It is. Out of all of us, yes.
Thanks for the kind words.
B
Blink –
I blew up the photo of the glasses and I think you are right about them being Kyron’s. The white writing seems rubbed off in a few spots and they do not appear brand new. So sad.
It was a message.
B
Just checking in to see if there was any news on Kyron. Someone knows something, the aliens didn’t just come down and take him.
I sure would love to know if anyone that questioned the kids was trained in questioning children. Sometimes a police man or person of authority might scare a child (not intentionaly) and cause them to clam up. But someone trained in talking with children may know the right questions to ask.
Just frustrated this precious baby hasn’t been found.
Could SM have a secret life that maybe her husband and family were not aware of? I don’t know what it is, but something about her seems deceptive. Not in that she did something to Kyron, but maybe someone she knows did.
Who is SM?
SM is stepmother. Sorry, I tend to abbreviate.
lol, nobody is worse than me, no worries
B
I have been out of the loop for awhile – but for all of you that have children still in school, I have a suggestion. I do not know the procedure of your schools, but demand in your system, that if a child is marked absent in class that this info is sent to the office and that someone calls the home immediately. Our high school even did this.
For all my years, and my kids are grown and in college, once roll was taken and a child is not present, the parents are called to “confirm” that the child is indeed absent.
I am not passing any judgement, just passing along this to those whose schools do not have this procedure in place. Peace. I have personal confirmation that this sent a mesage to parents that the kid was awol – elementary and high school level both.
Does SM = Step Mom?
Lol. Serves me right.
I am the acronym Queen, and it is annoying beyond the kind patience of friends
B
I missed something. Where did they find his glasses?
well if no one else bites I will: SM = step mother or step mom
Blink–
I am sure this has come up elsewhere,but using your hint on Tarver I searched and found that others had claimed SM used various aliases for whatever reason. Anyways, a Terri Tarver and a Terri Moulton were born on the same day and year in Oregon in different towns. Not sure if this means a thing.
SM = Step Mom, I presume.
SM is Step Mom… Seems a lot of folks want to know what she was during the hours following the science fair…. She had plenty of time to take him away and dispose of the boy.
Not that kinda site.
Respectfully submitted, we don’t do innuendo here.
B
Who is Terri Moulton Horman and what did she do from 9am to 3pm the day he disappeared?
Ill say odd day!! SM,SM who is SM then I figured it out step mom??
A wrong link from blink, and a hhummm from blink something is up.
Prayers for kyron and his family that answers will come soon
Thanks for the Pass, I dont need them often, but this child, this case, I can’t shake it.
B
when terri posted the pic of kyron she “tagged” kyron’s bio mom, which seemed pretty kind, imo.
Agreed, they have a solid relationship.
B
Blink–
Again,I apologize if you heard this and really don’t care to again,but there is also a record (not official) but a listing for a Teri L. Ecker born on the same day in yet another town in Oregon. I also find phone records and various addresses for these Terri’s all born on the same day. It’s strange…but I know these records get mashed up at times.
I just watched a video of the press conference by the family. As hard as she tries, she can’t squeeze out even one tear…just looks away and hides her face. No real alibi?? Errands and Housework?
I dont recall reading a woman was seen dring a white truck an hour after Kyron went missing. I recall reading a man in washington state was driving home to Oregon and saw a man driving a red truck and he had a child who looked like Kyron with him. Can you please post a link to the story of the woman driving a white truck with a young boy who looked like Kyron one hour after he went missing? I am not doubting you, I just don’t recall that story.
The teachers name is Miss Kristine Potter. She is either 35 or 36 years old and unmarried. She lives in Portland.
Re the glasses…
I was thinking they must of found the glasses because they released a pic of him without them on. So you think the pic of the glasses are actually his?
I do.
B
Does anyone know if the bio mom is also in law enforcement or the military?
Blink, if that is his glasses, then law enforcement has to have more info. If they found the glasses somewhere then it seems like they would have something to go on. Reading about the vigil on Tuesday noght, it says the parents were taken away quickly so the media could not question them.. I feel you are very right about them having a person of interest. Wish you could tell us more.
My children can get on my nerves so fast, and then I stop and realize how lucky I am to have them.. I feel so bad for this family. I can’t imagine how they can function from one day to the next.. Hope Hope hope

“Why did SM leave Kyron a few feet from the classroom? Why didnt she walk him into the classroom to make sure an adult was there? I ALWAYS take my grandson inside the class and make sure I see a teacher.”
I personally don’t find this odd, particularly in a small school. Once in the building, even the hallway by the classroom, you feel your child is safe. they are among people who know them.
In addition, since Kyron took the bus home, he probably normally arrived by bus. Walking to his class by himself would be a norm.
In my son’s small school (500 students k-12) I was discouraged from walking him into his first grade classroom. His teacher said all the other students got off the bus and into the class by themselves so he should too. I would usually watch as he went in the door. but I did stop walking into the classroom to be sure the teacher was inside.
I have not yet formed an opinion on what happened that day but do not think this is odd or in any way damning.
Wait a minute….the teacher has the white truck? HIS teacher?
I would like to see that posting too. I did not consider the woman driving the truck and the teacher could be one in the same. I was really thinking step-mom because I thought SHE had the white truck…. Now I’m completely confused…
I hope they find him soon – Just like many – he may be living somewhere else captured but alive- Lets hope for this. I wish I knew why they dont have camera footage of coming& going out of school that day.
I find it bizarre that he was last seen wearing a “CSI” t-shirt- just my thoughts. This case disturbs me just like all the others – Im still NOT over that little girl they found sealed in cement with her stuffed animal. I dont know how people sleep at night. I really dont
Nevaeh Buchanan.
She was partially sealed, with a beer can.
Quick Crete for the Quick Creep.
I just hate these cases.
Nobody is over it, except her Mom and her BF.
Tracygirl–
I’m looking for the white truck link. I was in the first few days and it was a homeowner somewhere in the vicinity who saw a white and a woman behaving strangely (by strangely I think he meant pulling onto his private road or something). Later, at 2:00 a.m. a similar white truck was spotted and dogs were let out to scare the truck away. Again, it was the same neighbor (i think) and private property. I’ll post when I find.
I had never heard about Nevaeh Buchanan before but that image is one of the most horrific things I have ever heard.
TR- The white truck report was on the local news a day or two after Kyron’s disappearance. I believe the witnesses name was Jim or James Kelly. He spoke to the reporter on camera. He and another woman on the street witnessed the truck. He said it occured around 3pm on June 4th however, who’s to say if it was sometime shortly after that when SM found out Kyron was missing. It may very well have been 4ish and it may have been Terri driving around looking for Kyron as Twinkletoes pointed out earlier. Hard to say….
Blink–
I hope you feel better and I can understand why you feel ill. These cases are heartbreaking and beyond disturbing. Personally, I’ll never forget some of the details I read about the Duncan case and what he did to that little boy while his sister looked on. That stayed with me–I wish I had never read it. It’s time for me to watch some Mary Tyler Moore and retreat to a happier place for the night. I feel sick. Let’s hope they find Kyron soon.
Heres the link re the wht truck
“We had two odd sightings of a vehicle on our road Friday,” Kelley said. Around 3 p.m., he and a neighbor reported seeing a white pick-up truck with a female driver pull to the end of the long road, idle and then turn around. Then again at 2 a.m. Saturday morning, a similar white pickup truck appeared, idled and when a neighbor loosed her dogs, eased away.
“A, it was strange to have a car there, any car there, that we didn’t know, and B, it was strange to have a vehicle come down our dead-end road twice in the same day, hours after a little boy goes missing,” said Kelley. “That’s beyond rare.”
http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2010/06/day_three_search_continues_hun.html
I am sorry to hear that little Kyron may be without his glasses. I know that may seem weird but- if he needed his glasses and always wore his glasses to deprive him of them even for a moment is cruel.
If it is a message I do not like the tone at all- It says to me as a mother, hey I have no regard for your child or your child’s needs.
That reallymakes mesad and angry! I hope they find little Kyron soon and that he is reunited with his glasses and his family.
And I hope that the person who took little Kyron away from his family, is deprived of his freedom forever more.
By the way Blink please tell your – wee man that I think he is a very smart and kind young man.
Your story of what he said about Kyron was just so sweet. You should be proud Blink, compassion is not always so easy to find in young men, or women for that matter.
TR but is there an article that state a woman in a white truck was seen with a young boy who looked like Kyron an hour after he went missing? That is what the poster said and I am trying to clarify if that is the same story as your white truck story or is it a version confused with the red truck story. I recall the white truck story you are posting about. I found that strange, especially the time of night.
A question that continues to plague me…Kyron’s homeroom teacher apparently said that she saw Kyron with SM that morning before classes started. Why would she mark him absent after that…and not question his absence all day….esp if his backpack and coat were there? ….I just can’t make sense of this….
TR wasn’t it reported somewhere along the way that the step mom had an adoption record? was she adopted?
She is. From Cali.

Sorry to hijack the thread and delete it admin but this is just out and I couldn’t find a way to contact you. I’m hoping it’s not a Morgan Harrington copycat. Laura Pepe, 26 missing after a Phish concert, Portsmouth, Virginia Tuesday night.
http://www.someoneismissing.com/flyers/laura-pepe.jpg
Blink why do you say the glasses were a message? A message that he is gone? Where were they found and by whom?
I am curious about the search of the neighbors home. Are they out of town? As others have mentioned, I am trying to go with Blink’s expertise here, but something is very odd. I am one who was ‘curious’ about SM’s behaviour during the press conference. I obviously think the comment from the sherrifs office saying the truck was towed for repairs was their idea to keep the accusations down. But it really doesnt alleviate the suspicion. Maybe it is to rule out the vehicle in light of the white truck sighting. Now with all the excellent sleuthing, there might be aliases. Why would a woman with a brand new baby, etc need an alias? What is her background? Is she adopted, because she doesn’t look AA to me. So who else was home with her that day, just the baby? I wonder where they found the glasses? Near that river? Sorry for the rambling, there is so much more to learn. This is terribly upsetting, get some rest Blink.
Which neighbor are you referring to?
B
Blink, I came across this link w/ pics from In Session Kyron thread. I dont know if we can use, but I thought you might enjoy them.

I have seen this Eloise, thanks for posting for all, as I am sure everyone will enjoy viewing pics of our sweet boy.
B
This is my first post, though I’ve been reading the Morgan threads since she was found.
Having a 5-year-old nephew myself (who just started pre-k summer camp this week), this little boy’s disappearance is consuming a lot of my time and attention; despite the fact that most “mainstream” media are not giving it much coverage, sadly.
This case is so confusing because of the very little information out there. But, I had to remark with regards to the truck/trucks. I thought there was a man who claimed to have seen a woman driving a black/gray truck; that cut him off in traffic, and that he saw a boy who resembled Kyron.
Aside from that, I’m not sure where the idea of the teacher having a white truck came from. That’s not been said anywhere that I’ve read. The white truck mentioned (well one of the white trucks), was by a neighbor who lives down a dead-end street. He claims to have seen an unfamiliar white truck driving down his street at 3pm the day Kyron disappeared (Kyron wasn’t noticed missing till about 30-45 minutes later). I believe the witness’ name is Jim Kelley. There was another very early the next morning (2am) of a woman who was maybe taking her dogs out to the bathroom, when she saw a white truck that was idling nearby and out of place. She let her dogs loose after the truck and the truck apparently left. So, that is the white truck I am aware of.
There was also a story yesterday of a white truck being towed from the home of Kyron’s dad and stepmother. According to the police, the truck failed to start when the family tried to go the grocery store so it was towed the the dealership. Hope that helps clear some things up.
I dont recall seeing this,or if we are going ‘there’ yet.

sorry I duplicated sentences when I copyied from word. It’s late…
Kyron is the child you would love to have in your family. That is what his picture tells me. It transcends nationality, ability, race, and religion. His goodness shines all the way from his heart, he does not have a mean bone in him. It also appears he loves to please and is the kind of child that can make the sun come out, even on a rainy day.
I know earlier we talked about not reading someone by their pictures, but I just cannot help it with this little guy. I know it is a pleasure to know him.
Hope you are feeling better today, Blink.
TY friend, I am.

TR- I posted it back on July 11th. Here is what I found….

Police Give Subtle Clues in Kyron Horman Disappearance | ThePortlander
(quote taken from the blog)…”There was an unknown white truck in Kyron’s neighborhood bothe Friday afternoon around 3:00 pm and 2:00 am Saturday morning. (Odd timing & placement)
THen there was a truck driver who reported a Kyron sighting South of Portland near the Sherwood area. The driver was female & driving a white/grey truck. The trucker saw what appeared to be a surprised/anxious Kyron against the window.”

All right ya’ll…when were glasses found? B considers them to be a “message”. I haven’t heard of them being found at all. Somebody clue this ole gal in please. TIA to all and have a wonderful day. Gotta head out to work.
