Kyron Horman Missing: Watch Press Conference Live

Posted by BOC Staff | Kristian Horman,Kyron Horman,Missing Child | Friday 18 June 2010 4:36 pm

Portland, OR– The last 24 hours of the case of missing 7 year old Portland child, Kyron Horman, has the community boiling over with speculation that Terri Horman, Kyron’s stepmother, is a suspect in his disappearance.

KyronQuestions

As reported exclusively on blinkoncrime.com, Kyron’s Uncle Kristian was incarcerated yesterday for child molestation charges.

This afternoon, Multnomah County Police released a flyer they have distributed to the parents and students of the Skyline School that seem to call into question whether Kyron and his stepmom Terri were even at the school on June 4, 2010.

    ? If they wern’t at the fair,then whoever is in the photo background can say when the picture was taken..

  3. Ragdoll says:

    This charge is huge Blink. I’m trying to keep an open mind but Uncle Kristian would be someone Kryon would trust and leave with. Was he sighted at the science fair or near the school grounds?

  4. Ragdoll says:

    Horman first raised eyebrows when she updated her Facebook page after Kyron’s disappearance to say she was “hitting the gym.” -People Magazine-

    Sounds like something Casey Anthony would do after her child goes missing. She knows exactly what happened to that sweet little boy and I hope they nail her coffin shut.

  5. Judi says:

    Unbelievable. Here we go again. :-(

  6. mayday says:

    Interesting in the family statement they state that this Sunday is Father’s Day and it will be the first time that Kyron is not with them. Why are they so sure? If you were the parents, wouldn’t there still be some shred of hope that in the next 2 days he could be found if you had no idea what happened to him?

    I don’t see an ioda of resemblance. Scott Hormon has dark hair and looks rather fit. Besides that, I’m not seeing it.

    Crimewriter: Not the same guy.

    Delurking to say you’re posting about the wrong guy, crimewriter. The “marketingscott” is not him. They don’t even look alike. Wrong age, wrong face, wrong occupation. This is the guy: http://www.linkedin.com/pub/kristian-horman/7/209/a31

    Sorry Blink, I gotta say it….WTF? Now they might not have even been at school? I heard on Nancy Grace, his bookbag was on his desk he was POOF! What the heck is going on…….i think they really need to START TESING PEOPLE BEFORE THEY HAVE KIDS Blink.. I mean sfter all one is tested to drive a car right? I keep this child in my prayers and will light a candle for him at mass…..God save our kids…..

    Before we continue quoting from marketing scott’s website, etc., it might be worth verifying that it’s him. I’m not convinced given the photos…

    know what gets me on this and gives me the hibbie gibbies?
    I have a sister inlaw on F.B that puts her daughter whom she had with my brother and a son she had from her first mariage. But my brother also has a little son age 10 with type two diabetis that lives with them and she rarely and I mean rarely puts his pics on f.b if ever. she packs him off to his aunts house(my sis )on the fathers side every weekend and every time theres schol break.
    she pulled a fast one last weekend she took my nephew to my sisters dumped him off and took her lil princess by my (brother) and her son to disneyland without my nephews knowledge but my brother knew that is what makes me and the rest of the family so mad, disgusted. looking at this case its eeerie similar. my brother is stupid as far as I am concerned. as soon as I seen this on HLN today I got the erriest feeling but already had my suspects about the step mom.

    Blink,

    Could you comment on the family’s statement read by Capt. Gates? (I think he seems incredibly capable and “on top of things”–(Gates.)

    What does it say about me that I just do not want the SM to be involved here???????

    My head is spinning and my stomach is sick, so I can’t remember if any other children are living in the home?????

    Excellent work CrimeW!

  17. Mamabear says:

    Crimewriter – You have such awesome researching skills, but I think your posts aren’t describing Kristian Horman. I thought Kaine and Kristian’s mom was something like Kristi, I remember it started with a K.

  18. zeus says:

    That was an interesting press release. So, the officer stated that the step mom was the last person to see Kyron at school, although later in the release, the officer stated, when asked by a reporter, that he could not discuss if anyone else saw Kyron after the step mom. Since they have always said there was another witness of Kyron after the step mom, it contradicted what he had just said, so I’m confused. He also again stated that the family had the white truck towed, and that it had nothing to do with the investigation. And he said that the family wanted this new info released to the public. Any chance they are trying to throw off the real perp by making it seem that the step mom may be suspect? I am not trying to say she is not the guilty party, just trying to think outside the box.

    The officer said that he was not able to discuss any suspects or POI, at all. He said the step mom and the rest of the family are cooperating when asked if they had taken lie detectors yet. Is there any chance that the reason they are wanting people to fill out the questionnaire is to find out if any other vehicles or people were around the step mom, and/or her vehicle? As in, were they being followed or was she with someone?

    I’m grasping at straws here. Putting this out about Terri Horman at this point looks like a big red flag, but I just don’t know. I am trying to picture this family all together in the Horman’s house with this news out now. I’m wondering if they have been separated now, and the bio mom and step dad are now staying somewhere else, or were they always at two different locations so each couple could talk freely?

  19. serenghetti says:

    Not the right guy. Stop it now. Kristian went to Shorecrest HS. Has had different jobs. Different mother and father. Goes by Kristian. Please stop this, Blink

    Do you know Kristian?

    CW- if we are not sure, we need to tread carefully as I know you do.

  20. Jackie Bauer :) says:

    Crimewriter, I checked out those links and I do know believe that you have the right person. I’m with KH and I’d really hate to see this be the wrong person with all this info about him posted here.

  21. Futureman says:

    Crimewriter, you’re nothing if not relentless! But you should perhaps pay attention to the responses of your fellow posters. I *believe* you have the wrong person. If so, I wonder if your’re treading dangerous waters by insisting that the person whose info you’re posting is a convicted child molester.

  22. Jackie Bauer :) says:

    Marlene lists her children as Scott, Melissa, Brook and Amanda. No mention of a Kaine. And neither Kaine nor Terri are Scott’s friends.

  23. myers says:

    What I would like to know is can Terry Harmon tell police of someone whom she spoke with at school that can confirm she was there on that day. I also wonder about her relationship with her husband and by doing something to Kyron, she knows she would get more attention from him. I have been having a bad feeling about her since the day I first seen her on tv.

    Fwiw, at the press conference today, the PIO was emphatic she was with him at the school that day, so that for me, has been clarified.
    B

  24. serenghetti says:

    Blink – Kaine and Kristian both graduated from Shorecrest. Kristian’s last job was at Volt. His parents are Neil and Kristi. There is NO connection between these two people, and yet you are allowing CW to post photos and details and basically label the guy in the photos as a pedophile. Your stuff gets picked up – and sometimes there is no “taking it back” one its gotten out there.

    S- I am well aware of every limb on this family tree. There are no accusations, and this individual is on every social network available.

    Unfortunately, having the distinction of sharing a name with a National Case, and convicted pedophile, is not his fault, or ours.

    I don’t know if you have limited web experience, and I dont mean to imply that you do, but I can assure you, my reader base is more than “picked up.”

  25. Mom3.0 says:

    I copied and enlarged the pic of Kyron in front of his science project to see if I could see anything helpful in the pic-

    This pic was taken the day of his disappearance.

    There is a little girl and a man? – in a flannel standing off to the left and behind Kyron- Have they been interviewed?

    It could be just my eyes, the lighting, or the quality of camera, but the original photo of Kyron, with his project looks kinda strange- What kind of camera took the photo? His left arm seems to be missing- Couldn’t LE look at the camera and the original pic to tell when the pic was taken, and if it were altered in any way?

  26. tracygirl says:

    Blink what are your personal thoughts and opinions on LE making this flyer so well known? Legally speaking, do you feel it was a good move or not.

  27. Kim says:

    If SM is innocent… is there any precedent or .. hwat am I trying to say? Would LE distribute a form to see who may try to implicate her? To see who’s stories don’t ‘jive’ with the majority of the stories? To see who’s story has changed a bit?

    As I type that it seems so…I don’t want to say unprofessional. If they are trying to nail her, then wow, totally in your face. Is there an investigative tactic for basically seeming to throw someone under the bus to dig deeper? When has LE done something similar?

    Are we reading too deep into it? Could they be trying to jog a memory? If so, they may be working against it cause if it sounds like she’s guilty.. will I try hard enough to recall that, yeah there was a guy hanging out… or: oh, that sports car really took off after her.. Or yeah, she was alone. It seems like so much doubt us floating around, I’m curious as to the intent of the questions (like everyone else!!!).

  28. Sweetpea says:

    If they weren’t at the school that day who put up the “Red Tree Frog”
    science display? I would imagine someone would have taken note if the project wasn’t at the school.

    But that doesn’t mean that she didn’t take Kyron straight out of the school with her.

  29. SGS says:

    I don’t buy it. I don’t think they are really looking to get info to prove Terri’s guilt. I think they’re trying to calm the “real” suspect and get him to be less careful. I agree with Kim above … it’s so unprofessional and, I would think, out of the ordinary.

    I think they believe that the real suspect will be delighted to believe that Terri is the one being watched and suspected. They’re going to look at the information provided to see who provides too much info that’s damaging to Terri.

    Just my thoughts.

  30. JEN says:

    I too have a second-grade boy, and in thinking about the flyer’s intended purpose(s), I have to admit that as a busy parent, something like this would indeed help jog my memory of a specific day. I would never remember what make/model/color vehicle I parked next to in the school lot on a given day unless I saw a photo of a vehicle involved in the day’s events (and even then it’s a stretch, but still a possibility.) I don’t know what many of my son’s classmates’ parents look like, so if I saw a photo of one of them and could connect it to an event, it would certainly help jog the memory bank.

    I think they’ve got their POI(s) and are requesting info to use as evidence against that person(s) so they can make charges stick. Which makes me wonder if they believe finding Kyron is an improbability. :(

  31. Muse says:

    The pattern of thinking that seems to be emerging is that step-mom took Kyron to school that morning, they attended the science fair, and they left the school together. They had to have been there – otherwise, when was Kyron’s pic taken? I have tried to fit other scenarios and wait for true facts to emerge in this case, plus I hate leaping to conclusions in these crimes, but nothing else makes sense. The person(s) who would have had unquestioned access to Kyron within the confines of the school would have been his parent(s). No one seems to be able to pinpoint Kyron’s presence after step-mom said goodbye. I agree with others that if LE were leaning towards an RSO or a stranger they would be much less casual about danger to the community.

  32. Jackie Bauer :) says:

    “Crimewriter, I checked out those links and I do know believe that you have the right person.”

    MY BAD. That should say I DO NOT BELIEVE that you have the right person…

  33. Mamabear says:

    Awww Blink…I think you might be tired after a long couple of weeks. Your response to Serenghetti surprised me. He just doesn’t want to see an innocent person implicated, that’s all.

  34. Jackie Bauer :) says:

    Finally a post worked, so I’ll try again.

    Intelius:

    Scott Horman, 31, lives in Edmonds, that’s Marketing Scott and his FB relatives are the same as on Intelius.

    Kristian Scott Horman, 32 or 33, lives in Snohomish. That’s Kaine’s brother. Different relatives. Different guy.

  35. Angela_nw says:

    Blink please take the links down to that other guy – his name is not the same it is similar. He is not connected to this case. It took me one minute of sleuthing to discover that and it is not fair to him that someone gets carried away and wants to make an allegation or supposition – not fair at all. Why cause him trouble at all? no need to post this comment

  36. Stars says:

    Had Kyron’s parents invited the family to the Science Fair?
    Maybe they did invite Kristian and his family.
    For my son’s science fairs we always invite the whole family. It is a
    BIG deal here.
    I still do not understand how the school could let a student leave
    without signing out. We always have to sign out at our school.
    Also, how could the teacher not be worried about him? She marked him absent
    but his science project is in her room. Didn’t she wonder where he could be???
    Science project here-but NO Kyron?????…..It is irresponsible on her part in my opinion.

  37. Judi says:

    Did they show up just long enough only to take a picture and drop of the book bag as a cover? To me, that would indicate pre-meditation.

    Her cell phone pings to the island. Divers looking for a large container such as a suitcase or duffel back by the shoreline, from what I understand, a result of aerial images taken from the National Guard’s Black Hawk Helicopter.

    Uncle a child molester.

    For a list that shouldn’t even exist to begin with, it sure is growing fast – Caylee, Haleigh, Sommer, Ethan, Kyron. Will this bullsh*t ever end?

  38. Hulagirl says:

    hmmm. why do they say that they won’t have him at home on Father’s Day? do they know that he’s gone for good or are they just assuming he won’t be found by that time. sad either way :-(
    I truly want to believe they weren’t involved….

  39. Hulagirl says:

  40. Kim says:

    SweetPea, if noone’s addressed it, I imagine the displays were set up in the days prior to make sure everything was presentable for the ‘open house’ if that’s what it was.

    Ok, if it wasn’t SM: Remember, Kyron supposedly told his friend he was going to look at an electric project. Yes, SM and Kyron could have parted ways and she could have come back. But if she didn’t. Who would have come in right after she left and lured him out?

    Kyron usually takes the bus, correct? Is there anyone else at his stop? Is it out in front of their home? Why go thru so much effort to make him disappear from such a public place? I’m walking thru our school in my mind. I can see being able to ‘secret’ her out of the school. But why when he could just have an ‘accident’ in the pond by the house? And thinking of my 1st graders mentality. She’s sport on with recollections of the day. Is his friend mistaken? We konw nothing about the timeline of dad, or where was the baby (did I miss that? I thought I read speculation)

    If she is a killer, then all our reasoning may not follow her warped path. If she’s not, why is LE pointing at her? Oh, btw, re her appearance at the press conference, Maybe she was taking medication to help her cope. If innocent, she’s carrying a heavy load.

  41. TR says:

    Hmm…..so much activity yesterday and then with today’s release of the questionnaire,I’m not sure what to think. A couple of things I have been wondering that I don’t think have been covered are:
    1) What is Kaine’s schedule? Was he out of the house when Terri left with Kyron?
    2) What does Kaine drive? Do they have more than two vehicles?
    3) Was Kaine home when Kyron failed to get off of the bus? I think I’ve heard two versions of that.
    4) Why are they just now searching the pond near the school? Wouldn’t that have been thoroughly searched in the early stages?
    Just wondering if they will ever find Kyron?

  42. J2K says:

    B – interesting (and heartbreaking) coverage of this case.
    Here’s my take on it:

    The (updated) timeline since June 4 is very telling.

    *June 4* – Kyron and SM are confirmed to have been seen by multiple individuals at the Skyline science expo between 8ish – 8:45; SM posts pic of Kyron in front of exhibit on her FB page at 1:20 p.m., and allegedly calls the school after she stood along his bus route at 3:30 waiting for him only to be informed he never got on the bus (so…the bus driver stopped for her? Question: did she *normally* wait for her second-grader at the top of the driveway?); at 3:56 p.m. that day, a (non-emergency) 9-1-1 call was placed by the secretary of Skyline Elementary School, Susan Hall, which prompted dispatch, and agents to arrive at the school and Horman home simultaneously. The case then began.

    Another Question regarding this day: Why didn’t SM call in the MP report to police? One would think that’d be an instant parental reflex upon learning a young child had erroneously been marked “absent.” and was unaccounted for. The secretary did it herself – and I certainly acknowledge there may be a reason for this. That said, my kid doesn’t bound off the bus as expected on a Friday afternoon, and I’m then told by the school he never even showed up for clas, my azz would be in sheer and total panic-mode. How could she hang up with the secretary and leave it to this half-stranger (who was, as far as SM allegedly knew, part of the institution that had lost her kid that day) to take control of what was fast becoming a terrifying family crisis by calling in the authorities? I would *need* to do that myself.

    Just an observation, anyway – point being that to me it does not seem consistent with typical behavior.
    But I digress. Back to the timeline.

    Sunday, June 6, 10 a.m.- 4): Students and parents head back to Skyline to be interviewed.
    9 p.m.: The Multnomah County sheriff escalates Kyron’s disappearance to a “missing endangered child” case, but does not call it a kidnapping.

    (Hmmmm. What did they learn in the course of these initial witness interviews to reclassify the situation in such a way? They gotta be related. I take it not one person – out of hundreds – said they’d seen anything red-flag unusual, e.g., a stranger or Kyron talking to a staff member/Unknown man he normally wouldn’t be engaging with/etc., as it was not determined to be an abduction at that point.)

    Also, in the *unconfirmed* category:
    *There have been multiple references to two teachers who told LE they saw Kyron and his stepmom leaving school together that morning.
    *His teacher, the still very-employed/not-publicly-chided K. Porter, told investigators she was informed by SM that morning (in the crowded gym, supposedly) that she’d be taking Kyron to an appointment, and thus this teacher felt comfortable marking him absent – the appt., according to SM, was actually set for the *following* Friday. (What a tragic coincidence! – surely if this fateful miscommunication had not occurred, his teachers would have likely sounded the alarm when he wasn’t back in class at 10 a.m., or, for that matter, at the talent show he was reportedly slated to take part in at 1 p.m.)

    Friday, June 11: Search expands to Sauvie Island, and there it remains for the most part, having now moved to a specific spot on its shoreline north of the bridge, once LE’s divers were called in.

    It’s here I will point out the number of days that have passed from Monday-June 6′s general search around the school and other sites nearby, to Friday’s leap 6 miles away to Sauvie: 5 days – that seems to me about the time it would take to get the prosecutor’s office to get a cell-phone-record subpoena from a grand jury and access the veracity of a yet-to-be-named POI’s alleged activities on the day in question…) It also seemed to be the turning point in the suddenly hush-hush investigation.

    At 1 p.m. the same day, Kyron’s family appears at a news conference for the first time. While it may not be fair for millions of desktop news watchers to deem SM guilty because she appeared awkward and quasi-grieved throughout, it *is* fair for LE to have encouraged the family to address the public (“show your unity, appeal to your community,” etc.) in order to have a professional profiler – such as the one called in by the FBI, for example – analyze the parents’ behavior and interactions when forced under such a glare for poor Kyron.

    The next day (June 12), the Sheriff’s Office asks the public to hold off on food donations; by noon on Sunday, the massive ground-search is called off and the case shifts into criminal-investigation mode. That same day, the sheriff’s office also announces it is looking for any video footage of traffic on several different Portland-area roads in the vicinity of the school.

    Hold the phone on that one. When LE wants to put resources into combing through traffic footage, it can be assumed they know what type of vehicle they’re looking for. …If they know the general make/ model/color of a suspicious vehicle possibly related to the investigation, wouldn’t it also serve their purposes to release the description to the public, particularly in such a close-knit community? (Sure worked in the DC-sniper case! …oh. wait, no. no it didn’t. Still odd though!) Moving on.

    As most know by now, it would seem the vehicle in question was/is a white Ford pickup truck – the one SM was supposedly driving the day Kyron vanished. It’s also been confirmed that at some point in the last 2 weeks, that pickup – still at the Horman home – was towed by the couple because the starter allegedly wasn’t working. (It may or may not be back at the home by now.)

    Over the last two days, this timeline has been prodded and punctured by a purposely evasive LE. While not confirmed, Portland’s investigative alt-news source, the Williamette Weekly, reported yesterday that various LE agencies have been all over Sauvie Island because SM’s cell-phone records indicate she may have been on the island the day he disappeared (the WW attributed this info to five separate law-enforcement officials from agencies at the city, county and federal level, noting that, to their knowledge, none is directly involved with the investigation, but, “Four of the sources say they’ve heard Horman’s story doesn’t jibe with her cell-phone records from June 4.”

    (Wish this was more of a surprise…)

    Then there was the seemingly purposeful airing of a new discrepancy today in the official version of events: SM is now the last known person to have seen Kyron – not the unnamed witness who reportedly saw him at 9 a.m., after SM allegedly watched him walk toward his class at 8:45. (That was back when they had no reason not to believe her, mind you.)

    The fact that Capt. Gates declined to address what he surely knew was coming in response to his remarks (a frenzied media followup to a significant change in the known timeline), tells me it’s not that the unnamed source was wrong and didn’t actually see Kyron at 9 a.m., but that he or she must have seen Kyron *with* SM, who, therefore, must have been put in a scene with her supposedly in-class step-son by a credible source *at or after* 9 a.m. (Two unnamed teachers come to mind here…)

    Layout-wise, I’ve read posts from Skyline parents noting that Kyron’s classroom sits next to the only unsecured door leading outside the school – it’s the south exit leading into the rear parking lot. In other words, mere seconds technically stood between him walking toward his classroom and passing it to head directly outside.

    Oh, and then after hinting at a breakdown in SM’s credibility, LE handed out a picture that was taken of her at the family press conference, in addition to one of the pickup she was driving on June 6.

    (I know, I know – just another step toward jogging the school community’s memory of events that day!)
    http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2010/06/police_issue_questionnaire_ask.html

    … I mean, they could have at least asked SM for a shot of herself, rather than distribute a picture of her lookin’ all haggard and bedraggled in an ill-fitting T during a stressful presser rounding out a presumably sleepless week (on, um, clean sheets).
    I’d think she’d want her fellow parent-volunteers at Skyline to see her in a more flattering pose- maybe one in which she’s all sorts of glowy and buff like at the 2005 Emerald Cup Female Bodybuilding competition…

    (Sorry to lay everything out at once, B – I was mentally constipated, as I’ve yet to weigh in on a case I’ve been following fairly closely. Ah, sweet relief…)

    J2K- my apologies for not getting to this sooner, but I wanted to respond personally.

    Your points are, as usual, well laid out, and provoking. I admit I have not seen where any un-named teachers have said they saw SM and Kyron leaving together, so if anyone can source that I would appreciate it.

    I also agree strongly that part of the intent of the family press conference was to analyze behavior, but as they have had a deputy with them 20 hours per day, and she/they had already been polygraphed, I am not certain it was for LE benefit, and certainly the statements by the Dads, one of which is a detective, left the element that Kyron left the school on his own, possibly. I am going to stay away from my own as yet unstated observations of the Press conference in this post.

    I will say if the family was supportive of the flyer, I would have expected to see a picture of Terri that she herself gave them, not those that were clearly taken from the production of the FBI profiling analyst internal feed. I am positive that flyer was created, and shown to the family as an investigative tool first, and the support comes as a necessity.

    The way I see it, if in fact Terri Horman is an undeclared suspect in this case, you have to assume she has been advised she is by LE, and to my knowledge she has not hired representation and she is taking a second polygraph today- that makes no sense to me at all.

    Something that is bothering me, and continues to, is that I can place her in Washington in December 2005 as a defendant in a criminal action, using the last name Tarver. According to her Mother, she has been dating Kaine since Kyron was an infant, and married I believe 4 years.
    However, my notes indicate they married in 2007. The criminal record is not accessible publicly.

    I am sensing from you that your not “there” yet either, J2K.

    From Associated Press. First I’ve seen of the report re: two teachers…

    Did Kyron Leave School with Step Mother?

    There are reports that several teachers saw Kyron leave the school with his step mother. Help Find My Child reports that “Portland Public Schools spokesman Matt Shelby said two teachers saw Kyron with his mother and thought the two left school together.”

  44. ClassyGal says:

    I remember reading that Kyron’s teacher saw the 2 of them together at the science fair that morning.

  45. blue says:

    Blink, what are your thoughts about the newest development in this case (re: the questionnaire)?

    There’s a part of me that still believes, or perhaps wants to believe, the stepmother is innocent. What’s so troublesome is that if she did hurt Kyron, it was premeditated to the extreme. She took him to the science fair to establish he was at school, and then had to have covertly gotten him into her vehicle or would’ve had to tell him to meet her at the vehicle. She would’ve been banking on no one seeing him. It just seems so risky — because if he’d been stopped by a teacher and asked where he was going or if, on this busy day with so many people coming and going, anyone would’ve seen them at the truck then her plan would’ve been ruined. It just seems needlessly elaborate and risky.

    I also don’t understand her motivation. Obviously, she wasn’t in the throes of abusing Kyron if it was premeditated, and I just…I can only shake my head and pray it wasn’t her. The questionnaire seems to suggest otherwise, although the questionnaire is also very weird and unprofessional, IMHO. If anything of value is collected, it seems like it would be easy to discount in a court of law.

    And honestly, I don’t want for it to be her. I don’t want anything to have happened to him, but something obviously did, and it hurts my heart beyond measure to think that he met his end at the hands of someone he obviously dearly loved.

    my thoughts are – the press mentions stepmom so that the real perp doesn’t think they are on to him – maybe its a diversion tactic – used by Law Enforcement sometimes

    I am a little behind in reading the postings so I apologize if this has been discussed, but my thought when I saw that questionaire was that LE is trying to make someone think they believe Terri is involved. I’m not saying she couldn’t be involved, but if she isn’t…then perhaps they are trying to make someone believe that she is their suspect. My second theory is that they are trying to make her crack. Obviously the pressure of the media and everything has to get to her at some point if she has any guilt at all – but really, that questionaire just seems too in your face to be for real. It seems sort of like a fictional crime novel, but stranger things have happened. Like 7 year-old little guys disappearing in their own school.

    Aaahh, the wonderful world of social networking. Where you can let your ego go wild, post photos of you when you were younger, become who you want to be,not necessarily who you are. Be CEO of companies, Have 10,000 friends and live in a remote area in the jungle. Travel the world with fake pictures that have been photo shopped, Become fans of many causes yet never think of donating your valuable time in “real life” your name doesn’t even have to be REAL

    BEWARE: THIS IS HOW THE ARE GETTING TO OUR CHILDREN!

    Crimewriter can’t hurt someone who MAY NOT be real. Good rule of thumb, if you never spoken to them in”real life” then it is safer to assume they are someone’s alter ego/fabrication.

    A few things…
    For anyone that is a member of a social networking site, there are privacy settings anyone can use when they initially sign up so that their personal information/listing of siblings, children, & etc. and their own accord of record day to day activities/statuses can not be seen by everyone on the world wide web as well as appearing in search engines. I suggest to anyone who participates willingly entering their personal information on a public site to first exercise the privacy settings that come along with it. With that said, I very well could be wrong about the SH I have found on FB and several other public sites to be the AKA KSH who has been convicted of a crime. What I found was similarities to the geographical area they live in and similarities in pictures. Other then a few news stories I have read, I have seen no evidence of anyone on either side of the Horman family whether it be on KH immediate side or KSH immediate side linking one another to each other. (other than intelius searches as well) I thought this to be due to the family being blended with adoptions and etc. I’ll certainly hold off on any further speculating until I have more concrete facts which I can either prove a link or dispel it. I asked for others to weigh in on if you thought the profile links were those of KSH and I certainly do appreciate the weigh in! Perhaps I am wrong.

    this doesn’t add up at all. I still do not think step mom did anything to harm kyron. frankly, moms who don’t want the burden of a child typically kill in the early most dependent years. seven years old is a wonderful age, so enjoyable to parent. this just makes no sense on the *facts*. I am going to have to sit back and trust le to uncover the truth.
