New Clues In Kyron Horman Search: Fact or Fiction- You Decide
Disclaimer–
Portland, OR-Over the last week, much information has been developed about the extended families of Kaine and Terri Horman, and the circumstances with which Kyron came to reside primarily with them, visiting Mom and step-dad Desiree and Tony Young on monthly visits.
One thing that is not clear however, is how Terri Moulton Horman’s oldest son, 16 year old James, came to live with his maternal grandparents after living with the Horman’s until this past January. He now lives with his biological father who gave up his rights to him to Terri’s second husband, who stills pays child his support.
He is believed to have been on a Boy Scout camping trip with his father Ron Tarver and his half-siblings the weekend Kyron went missing.
By all accounts, and certainly by all photos, James and Kyron were *tight* brothers from another mother.
Although it has not been confirmed by Multnomah County Police, it is believed that the focus on Sauvie Island, and the surrounding area is related to cell phone pings from Terri Harmon’s phone the day of Kyron’s disappearance on Friday June 4th. According to family friend, Terri was asked to take a second polygraph this past Saturday, and was frustrated and tired at investigator’s questions as “she was where she says she was.”
BlinkThink: An Investigative Editorial Of Sorts..
Frequently, in our team’s development of information and analysis on the cases I feature, readers and listeners ask my opinion on several items of information that I may not be prepared to release out of context. In some cases, they are working theories. It is however, how we handle our “war room” and take raw data to reportable data. This case continues to baffle so many, I thought I would take this opportunity to show our readership how we work behind the scenes. Pardon grammar in advance, these are actual excerpts from our collective work stations.
For obvious reasons, this is the collective work of the editors of blinkoncrime.com; the “raw” we discount or scrap is not included.
Priority Lead #1
Tanner Pumala, 8 year old desk-mate of Kyron Horman, was the last person to see BOTH Kyron and Terri Moulton. He is his self-professed best friend, and also his neighbor. His grandmother, Wendy Fuhrer, allowed him to speak to the press, although she was specifically asked not to. As he is a minor, it would require a signed release from his parent or guardian.
Finding of Facts:
No mention of his Mother, Lisa Fuhrer Pumala
Tanner’s account states that the substitute noticed Kyron was missing from the headcount. He said she alerted the regular teacher, Ms. Porter, who told her he was probably in the bathroom.
Subissue for Flagging:
There was NO substitute that day. She had been there Monday through Thursday. Why would he offer that specific account, and simultaneously say that Kyron told him he was headed upstairs to the “cool electic one”? As his deskmate, wouldn’t he interject that information?
He was interviewed by BOTH the FBI and MCSO, and asked not to release his information, but did anyway. Who or what really prompted this?
He remarks he did not see him on the bus, so the day goes by, including the talent show, with no further discussion of Kyron although he would not have been in the bathroom for several hours.
However, he states he was not aware Kyron was missing until that evening, when his DAD saw it on the news.
(Jason Mateos Notes: Could the duo simply have wandered outside together at the prospect of catching a live frog for the exhibit and accidentally fall in the pond and the child is scared.
Blink Response: Plausible only if Tanner unaccounted for, the pond is across the street, and they literally would have to go out of the parking lot, which was heavily occupied at the time. Project next to his is Pond Turtle, however.
The Fuhrer residence, on the market since April 2010, borders the Horman property, and extensive search efforts covered this property. Their is a white truck and camper located at the residence in the photos of the listing.
Brian Pumala, Tanner’s father is a plumber and recent electritian apprentice through JATC. He resides with one Ann Pumala on NW Mill in a houseboat on the channel. Quarry Rd, is directly behind his residence as well as the Quarry that was searched initially.
Finding of Fact:
From Blink notes: Pumala address is on Sauvie. In particular it is the start of the original start area for which MCSO requests video footage, and it has direct access to the channel, which has been a heavy search point.
Additionally folks– we have the investigative equivalent of “the closest distance between 2 points” here. Gram or “mom” Pumala is neighbor to Ky.
Non-custodial Dad, a former neighbor and presumed aquaintance, lives withing the perimeter of the focus of most of the search efforts, AND the alleged cell pings.
Priority Lead #2
Kaine Horman Email:
From: Horman, Kaine A
Sent: Sunday, June 06, 2010 8:39 AM
Subject: FW: Kaine Horman’s son is missing
All,
If you have seen local Oregon news or been browsing the internet or FaceBook there is a good chance you have seen an article similar to the one that Becky forwarded (below). While this note is difficult for me to write in this state of mind I felt it necessary for Kyron’s sake.
Optional actions for you:
The Intel network is large and wide-reaching. Many have asked me what they can do to help us and my answer is the following:
1. Forward Kyron’s information to as many people as you feel comfortable with; the more people that see this will increase our chances of finding him
2. Do not speak to any media if contacted; I am trying to contact Intel legal to give them the heads up and help with this situation
Physical description at the time of his disappearance (picture is show in Becky’s note and here):
He is 3 foot 8 and 50 pounds, with blue eyes and brown hair. He was wearing black cargo pants, white socks, worn black Sketcher tennis shoes with orange trim and dark-colored t-shirt with the “CSI” show logo
Police Hot Line Number:
(503) 261-2847
Some rough background:
The article that Becky forwarded is pretty accurate with details. He was dropped off at school about 8:45 and went missing sometime between then and 9 or 9:30am. We did not know he was not at school until we went to get him off of the bus at 3:30 and he was nowhere to be found. The bus driver immediately called the school which responded that his teacher had not seen him all day in class, at which point we notified police in partnership with the school. It is still unknown whether he left school grounds on his own or was abducted. Be assured that there are currently an amazing number of agencies and amount of person-power being applied to the search and investigation.
Thank you all for the thoughts and prayers for Kyron’s safe return. I will update the group once status changes which will hopefully be soon. At the time of this note Kyron has now been missing for ~48 hours; time is of the essence.

JM session notes: Bolded by Me. Dad states he went to the bus stop with Terri. Indicates both vehicles were at the residence, and in working order. What prompted his schedule to be home at that hour, would it be normal? Why is this the only account that features the Dad at the bus stop.
“in partnership” is odd wording. What does that mean exactly?
Priority Lead #3
Terri Horman call to school: When do the exhibits need to be picked up?
Blink notes: exculpatory. If your counting on a timeline that gives you until approximately 3:30PM, why would you risk the potential to raise the flag of Kyron’s absence. He was in fact, marked absent, although his things remained on his desk. SM calls and askes when the exhibits needed to be removed. In my mind, it is to see if she needed to also pick Kyron up that day, as he could not manage it himself on the bus.
Priority Lead #4
The questionaire released by MCSO and the FBI
blinkoncrime.com editor JM, an experienced investigator and polygrapher, believes strongly there would have had to have been a deceptive response to necessitate a second poly. Blink notes: I believe strongly this is designed to progress leads in this case. My opinion as to “why” may be very unique. It is almost as if they want someone to believe she is a suspect, stopping short of naming her. Could they be hoping for someone to make contact with her. Admittedly, agreed on the deceptive response, but could she have exposed a bad guy to Kyron through her behavior or actions, but had nothing to do with his disappearance? Those images are FBI generated from an analysis they preformed on her behavior, no doubt in my mind.
blinknotes: I believe it possible the questionaire was requested for multiple reasons. Again, I cannot wrap around her. Put plainly folks-her profile does not match up to execution or strategy as we know it. I also believe this is designed to produce 300 exemplars. With the DA present while parents were to drop off their completed questionaires, I again think aloud– is there a convened GJ at the moment, in this case?
Also, what about this– it lets them capture the make, model, and plates of cars coming to the school with completed forms. Does our guy show up at 9am or 6PM on Father’s Day with kid in car, borrowed from someone, or does he send it with another parent?
Actual excerpt in work session:
*warning graphic* professionals need to de-sensatize in order to analyze.
Research/Investigstive Professional: Something is bad wrong is going on inside the Horman home without a doubt. I tend to look at folks who will not talk. Terri is simply acting odd. She has odd expressions. I mean effin odd; a self-centered nutcase. Unequivocally, yes, but she has an extensive track record of caring for kids. I would def buy her having an affair. If this is her, what kind of lame ass plot is this, in the first place. You drug the kid, you take him out on your own damn property, or closest body of water, and call the cops the next morning with your back door open and his foot trail still fresh. Say he has a history of sleepwalking. In that neighborhood, the critters would have him by then ( sorry, I know). This woman spend significant time with the school and his class. She had the baby in there, multiple times, knows all the kids by name. This is where she is going to take every risk and chance to off the child she has cared for since birth with no conceivable motive– no history of mental illness, and a facebook of loving family photos, several of which taken by her of a beaming Kyron? Not feeling it.
That said, it is connected to her in some way. Scorned lover? Unrequited affection of someone at the school? Kyron was chosen because of her?

Priority Lead #6
The baby Kiara, was not with Terri and Kyron that morning.
JM notes:
I don’t know where dad was.
I do not know what he drove.
I don’t know when he left.
I do not know when he came home.
I do not know for sure he was even at work but it would be easy enough to document with ID swipes, etc.
I do not know where the baby was.
I do not know who was watching the baby.
I do not know why dad decided to come home early to meet the bus (and even that is in question.)
Where was she and is this normal routine?

Kaine has left his home with his daughter.
A few things – First – D.A., I’m heartbroken about your twins. You must be a very strong lady (and I mean that as a sincere compliment).
Second – Re: searchers finding Kyron’s body off of Sauvie Island – I read something from someone who lives on the island who said a local boy had drowned and his body was found around the same time of Kyron’s search. Can’t for the life of me find where I read that though. I think that’s where those rumors about Kyron came from.
Third – Instead of driving her Mustang, why would TH be driving a truck that was having mechanical problems… problems that were bad enough that it had to be towed to the repair shop?
Fourth – I’m wondering about the timeline regarding the end of LE’s search for Kyron … and the release of the info about his glasses.
OMG – They are reporting that Kaine took they baby and is no longer living in the house with Terri!
http://www.koinlocal6.com/content/news/breakingnews/story/Kyron-Horman-family-expected-to-release-statement/Pp41oNDg80Ghqq5Y3zwgDQ.cspx
Ok here’s my wild theory (and believe me, that’s all it is, don’t take this as real because I’m just thinkin’).
I think Terri was having an affair or some sort of relationship with Brian. So she planned a rendezvous and that’s why her actions at the school look so premeditated. She wasn’t planning on harming Kyron, she was planning on a rendezvous. The rendezvous had to be in the morning hours because she maybe knew Kaine would be home at lunchtime (which he was that day). She figured she could have her affair and be home by then. She had the baby with her the morning of June 4th but left her in the car. She parked somewhere maybe in the back where there was no traffic flow at the school and no one would see her truck at 8:00 a.m. She toured the science projects NOT so much to be seen with Kyron, but so Kyron could later tell everyone about the projects and verify that he/they had been at school. She told the teacher Kyron had a Dr. appointment so she could take Kyron with her, because she needed Kyron to watch the baby while she did whatever with Brian. She told Kyron to go get in the truck and watch the baby because she didn’t want any of her friends to see her taking him from school in case Kaine found out later that she had taken him (at which point he would have also found out there was no Dr. appt.). She walked out of the school alone to the back parking lot, early enough so there were still not many people there and no one would see her. She knew there were no cameras in the school. Kyron’s things were left in the classroom because she really did intend to bring him back that day, maybe before the talent show. She went with Kyron and the baby over to Sauvie Island to Brian’s. She told Kyron that the electric project was secret and not to tell anyone he got to go see it. She had Kyron watch the baby while she did whatever with Brian, and something bad happened to Kyron during this time. Maybe there really WAS something electric and he got electrocuted. Or maybe he fell off the dock into the water and vanished. Or whatever. It could have been an accident, or they could have done something to him on purpose. I’m leaning toward accident because Kyron WAS due back at school for the talent show, and he would have possibly mentioned it to someone such as Kaine if he missed it. I’m thinking Terri was planning on getting him back to school by noon and then going home. Another reason I’m thinking accident is because if this had been a premeditated crime, she wouldn’t have taken her cell phone with her and risk being traced – she was never expecting anyone to be looking at her phone records because she wasn’t expecting Kyron to get into an accident. Once Terri and Brian found out what happened to Kyron while they were doing whatever, (or once they did something to him), they were very hyped up. They knew they were in big trouble. They made a plan to make it look like he had been kidnapped and that’s when they took his glasses off. Then they hid or disposed of Kyron. Terri got back in the truck and drove like a mad woman over to her house with the baby and composed herself in the next hour or two. She then started thinking about how to cover her tracks. So she posted pictures of Kyron on FB like all was okay. She made up the story that she had left Kyron in the hallway at 8:45 a.m. She called the school to ask when the projects could be picked up, just to see if anyone at the school was going to say anything about Kyron missing. If they did, that’s the point where she was going to say NO, HE’S NOT WITH ME! HIS DOCTOR APPT. IS NEXT FRIDAY!, at which point the alarm would have been sounded. But the school didn’t say anything. So Terri had to keep quiet like all was normal. She waited until it was time to go pick up Kyron and then she asked Kaine to go with her to meet the bus and then to go have ice cream. She probably never even told Kyron to get on the bus that day. She made up the story that she had left him in the hallway at school at 8:45 a.m. Brian is the one who delivered the glasses with a note. They both knew if they were found out that they would be charged with Kyron’s demise. And of course the baby would be taken from her, and both of them would go to jail. So she HAD TO try to hide the whole thing. This is why she never went in front of the media, she was too freaked out and she probably knew she would crack. The look on her face on the flyer is one of sorrow and FEAR, like, “WHAT HAVE I DONE?!! I’VE SCREWED UP MY WHOLE LIFE!” Of course, IF Kyron were at Brian’s house, his DNA would be somewhere, as he would have touched SOMETHING. What do you think about my theory Blink?
Statement to be released tonight.

Kaine and his daughter are staying elsewhere. Prelude to something going down?
These cases are difficult enough without the nuisance of self-promoting investigators (Oakes) and alleged psychics (you know who you are). If these folks have something valuable to contribute, let their qualifications and accomplishments speak for themselves. To incessantly advertise one’s skills and besmirch others because they are not being employed is whiny and self-serving.
Post O The Day.
Welcome to BOC.
B
Per Terri H, rumor that Kain Horman moved out is false
http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2010/06/kyron_hormans_stepmom_terri_mo.html
Personally, I believe Kaine has moved out with the baby. As we have discussed here, I believe Terri’s lifestyle choices have been a catalyst for this situation.
There are 2 things I am certain of.
1. Kyron’s bio parents are not involved in his disappearance.
2. Kyron will be found.
B
Maybe the eye glasses were found in the truck and they didn’t want Terri to know they found them there so they pretended they were replicas.
Local tv stations here in Portland reporting that Kaine Horman moved out of the residence he shared with Terri today and took their 18 month daughter with him. A statement will be read shortly on the news from the family the local channel, KOIN, reports.
Many thanks to Twinkletoes, Jackie Bauer, and Eloise.

Given the statement released tonight, but more importantly given how the statement was signed, it’s clear to me that Desiree, Tony, and Kaine suspect Terri killed Kyron.
I’ve been firmly in the camp that Terri did not hurt him, and I still don’t want to believe it, but the mounting evidence against her, however circumstantial, is becoming difficult to ignore.
Even if Terri didn’t hurt Kyron, I now believe Desiree, Tony, and Kaine believe she did.
Sigh.
Here is a quick thought. I was at the YMCA this morning. Thinking back I can’t remember anybody I walked in with or walked out with.
One lady I know I held the door for her but other than that I was in my own world. Thinking my own thoughts.
Think back..do you remember who you passed at the grocery or anywhere you were today. Could you identify them? Could you say if they had a child and how they were dressed?
Unless something draws your attention..memory is fleeting. JMHO
DA I am soooo sorry. How do you ever recover from something like that?
Blink – I think the rumor is true. Even Terri’s dad said Kiara was not at the house (IIRC, in the People article). Here’s the family statement and it is signed by Kaine, Desiree and Tony.

http://www.kptv.com/news/24074276/detail.html
A Portland newspaper says that Kyron’s dad has left the home with his daughter to a new location. What does this mean?
Flash Alert from MCSO: Family of Kyron Horman release 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
http://www.kptv.com/news/24074276/detail.html
“The father of missing 7-year-old boy Kyron Horman is staying elsewhere this week after taking the daughter he has raised with Kyron’s stepmother out of their home.”
I think maybe Terri admitted to an affair, which has led to the disapperance, Kaine is upset and moves out, gpa moves in, visible marriage trouble, rightfully so, maybe to lure the other guy in.
I still tend to think Terri didn’t do it directly, but I think she is indirectly responsible. I agree with you B-
All I know, is the truth is slowly being revealed and justice will be done, Kyron will be at peace one way or another. Preferably alive, with his bio-mom and bio-dad.
On Nancy Grace – it flashed that SM was arrested, but I cannot find an official statement to that. Has anyone else found one?
I have been reading alot about Kyron and I am speculating on the 8:45am, SM say’s, I watched him walk to this class room. This is only information from SM (step mom). Reading and understanding, no one saw her earlier, the last time anyone saw her was much earlier! So, information is based on her statement only, and LE says she is the last person… I am speculating that maybe she left earlier. Just a thought. Because 8:45am is only her statement!
GO BACK TO THE BEGINING.. EVIDENCE IS THERE!
Father and stepmother was involved !! They both did it !!!!!!
(my opinion)!!
“Friends of the Horman family told FOX 12 that police encouraged Kaine Horman to take the couple’s 18-month-old daughter and stay at a different location. Investigators would not confirm that information Monday.”
If LE did suggest Kaine leave and take Kiara, would it be because lifestyle choices have put Kiara at risk as well, or because Terri is about to be arrested, or both? I cannot imagine being in a house with someone who I thought had *anything* at all to do with the disappearance of someone I loved. I cannot imagine.
Wow. Let’s be a bit more open minded about everyone’s skills here.
For those of us who didn’t get to see the FB page of Terri’s (myself included), here’s a link in text format. I found it interesting. My personal favorite exchange was posted on the Saturday night after Kyron was missing. I know people cope with stress/fear/grief/etc. in lots of different ways, but poking? Seriously, POKING?

# 40: I so hope you are right. I just pray that Kyron is “alive” when he is found. You didn’t say, and I sure wish you would.
It appears that LE and others are so quick to point the finger at Terri Horman. Was she known to be mean and unkind to him before he went missing?
Soapbox moment: This precious child should have been someone’s night and day. The more I learn about this case, the more I think Kyron was an afterthought and his parents, bio and step, took care of their own hungers before ensuring he was safe. Whatever the outcome, it WAS preventable at some point. I think of Diane Schuler and her bottle of vodka tucked under the seat of a charred minivan and Shantina Smiley, whose son washed ashore after she drunkenly crashed her van into a lake, little Haliegh Cummings, who was raised by drugged out wolves and eventually disappeared into the unknown, Nevaeh Buchanen, whose idiot mother invited sex offenders into her home, little Sommer Thompson walking home from school, Sandra Cantu who paid an untimely visit to her Sunday school teacher only to be drugged and raped and murdered, and Caylee Anthony, Garrett and Gavin Coleman, and little Ethan Stacy whose last experience on this earth is that of betreyal and pain by the one who is supposed to lvoe them the most, and lets not forget the “it’s not my problem” judges who lack the courage to keep these baby killers in prison, the “it won’t happen to me” populace who vote the bastards into office and forget these children when it is time to reelect, and the legislators who are terrified to take a stand for children. NO ONE is lobbying for children. I go to the sessions, the cocktail parties, the campaign kickoffs. People want to know how you stand on fiscal responsibility, on property rights, on zoning. No one is promising anything in return for standing up for our humanity.
I read that Kaine has filed for divorce and gotten a restraining order

I get the feeling LE told the family everything today. Their statement tonight starts “We have been FULLY briefed….”

Report that Kaine Horman files for divorce and restraining order.
I wonder if the lifestyle issue is too much here? The way this is playing out, are we just witnessing another Munchausen by Proxy (sp) case? A woman losing her family (older son troubles, marriage troubles) who is desperate to be the center of attention again?
Wonder if it is too simplistic to think she staged Kyron’s disappearance to be the hero. To be the good mother devoted to her kids…the victim of a child vanishing. It seems very plausible. But things did not go as she “planned”….
Kyron Horman’s stepmother served with documents for restraining order, divorce
Published: Monday, June 28, 2010, 7:12 PM Updated: Monday, June 28, 2010, 7:57 PM
Lynne Terry, The Oregonian
Kyron Horman’s stepmother was served with a restraining order and a petition for dissolution of marriage at 6 p.m. Monday, a law enforcement source confirmed.
The legal papers came as a complete surprise to Terri Moulton Horman, the source said.
http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2010/06/kyron_hormans_stepmom_terri_mo.html
sorry – here’s the link
To clear a few things up.
Harry Oakes is K9 Search and Rescue. I don’t believe he has anything whatsoever to do with psychics, nor uses psychic abilities. From reading his site, it seems he’s got a former career in the military, law enforcement and search and rescue. I don’t recall his website, but I’m pretty sure it’s posted somewhere on this thread.
With regards to Brian Pumala; where has it ever been stated that he has a white pickup? Not anywhere that I can recall. I know on the clues posted on this thread by Blink, there is something appearing to be a white SUV (a jeep cherokee or something maybe?) on Wendy Fuhrer’s property. Wendy lives next door to the Hormans and her property was searched the same day the Horman’s white pickup was towed a few weeks ago. Also, Wendy is the former mother-in-law of Brian Pumala. So, while she is raising his son by her daughter, I don’t think that Brian Pumala has anything to do with the white truck on the Fuhrer property.
Reading all of these pages, and from other sites around the net, there are quite a few complex, even complicated theories out there. I know I have floated a few myself. However, when you get right down to it, I just have to think that the simplest explanation is the easiest and the correct one.
I personally doubt some disgruntled friend/acquaintance grabbed Kyron and is holding him for ransom while sending bits of his clothing. It just seems too farfetched and risky. Though swinging and cheating provide some lurid overtones, after pondering it, just seems unlikely. And I can’t picture some chase scene with SM trying to catch the bad guy(s) who have absconded with Kyron for some unknown reason.
While it gives us all something to do to feel productive and the speculation may help fill the gaps left by LE’s silence, it just doesn’t feel right.
I think the simple explanations are the most likely.
1. Tanner and Kyron went off to do something (play outside maybe), Kyron gets hurt (falls into a creek or down an embankment) and Tanner is afraid to tell anyone at school what happened. So, maybe Tanner’s grandma makes up the “electrical” project to show that Kyron must’ve wandered off alone. Then told Tanner to mention that SM left without Kyron, because she figured suspicion would fall on SM first; and while she wanted to protect Tanner, she didn’t want to implicate someone who was innocent.
2. Someone on the staff lured Kyron to a spot inside the building (boiler room, empty classroom, etc) and harmed him; then concealed him to get him out of the building.
3. SM did something to him; either planned or in the heat of the moment.
I’m still stuck on 3. She was post-partum depression; she was angry with Kyron for some reason; she felt he was disrupting her life and taking time and attention from her and her baby; she was just straight up crazy? Who knows?
I just really feel like we’re making this far more complicated than it actually is. And it’s understandable because we’re getting next to nothing in information, from anyone. We assume the police are being quite because they are dealing with a hostage situation or something; but maybe they just messed-up; maybe they have little evidence and are hoping that ongoing stress and pressure will cause someone to break.
At this point, I just really don’t know.
Hope I didn’t offend anyone. I know we are all hoping and wishing and trying to find some way to imagine he might be ok and that he can come home to his family.
Have been following this case from day one – first time commenting.
Odd behavior of both bio-father and SM were obvious from the first media report and today, suprise-surprise, bio-father files for divorce in addition to media statement (signed by all but SM)

Hope they find Kyron and Lindsey that is missing from WA.
Update: Kaine has filed for divorce/restraining order against Terri:

Foobros, I was just going to post that. According to kgw.com, Terri says she didn’t know the statement was coming out.

The 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”
WOW. Their distance speaks loudly. Breaking news to come. Thankfully.
Truth first escapes in drips, then trickles and then a genuine gusher. The drips have begun.
Yep.
All I care about is that they recover this baby.
I said from day one this case was going to be as dark as it can get, and God help me it is.
My heart is heavy for sweet Kyron.
