Kyron Horman Missing and Endangered: Kaine Horman Files For Restraining Order And Divorce From Terri Horman

Posted by BOC Staff | Kaine Horman,Kyron Horman,Terri Horman | Tuesday 29 June 2010 7:39 am

Portland, OR– Kaine Horman, Father of Missing and Endangered Child Kyron Horman, has left his wife and step-mother to Kyron, Terri Horman.

Rumors swirled yesterday afternoon that Kaine was no longer living in the marital residence, but approached by the press in her yard, Terri Horman denied the accusation as reported by Fox TV. A few hours later, Terri was served with papers for a restraining order and dissolution of marriage.

“Everything’s good,” she said, giving a thumbs up. “We heard that rumor. It’s just a rumor that needs to be squelched. Everything’s fine.”

Kaine Horman is represented by Portland attorney Laura Rackner, who specializes in Family Law.

Sources inside the investigation speaking on the condition of anonymity, have confirmed to blinkoncrime.com that Kaine Horman is filing for divorce based on information provided to him by the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office about events leading up to the disappearance of Kyron Horman.

Terri Horman has not been named a suspect in Kyron’s case, and as stated through a friend that arrived at her home around 8 PM last evening who also asked not to be identified, is not considered one by police or her family. 

Kyron Horman, 7, disappeared from Skyline School on the morning of June 4, 2010.

    Well, it’s looking like Blink may have been right on the mark with the possibility of an affair occuring; that would certainly be grounds for filing for divorce.

    I’m still on the fence wrt SMs “hands-on” or “knowledge” of guilt wrt the beautiful missing Kyron. I can only hope, at the end of the day – that this innocent child is recovered safe and unharmed.

    I also agree – it’s time for SM to come out loud and clear with a statement.

    Blended families are a way of life. Most people – adults and kids – find a way to work it out.

    “Xactly.”

    A couple of questions…

    1. Do you think that James left the house because of Terri’s “lifestyle” choices? Maybe she had put him in danger and it was decided by Terri or Kaine/Terri and Kaine that it would be best to move him out for the time being?

    2. Do you think she made Kyron watch Kiara while she was doing whatever? Given the fact she told teachers about a doctor appointment on the 4th/11th? Clearly, Terri knew the ins/outs of Skyline Elementary as she had worked there previously. Also, according to reports..she WAS spotted by teachers leaving the school with Kyron.

    3. Does anyone else think she called the school about the project, not because she cared about picking up the project.. but because she knew whatever had happened already..and she was paranoid that they hadn’t called yet?

    4. Also, do you think Kaine may have already known about the lifestyle issues..but never thought in a million years that she would do it to Kyron or Kiara? (whatever it is)

    I know these are questions that have already been asked..but when you start putting them down consecutively..it makes things look even worse for her.

  4. Angie says:

    Can you consider cropping the picture since Kaine is touching her breast?

    Guys. Seriously. For those that may be newer, please know I never do anything unintentional.

    There are hundreds of posts on here condemning this woman because of her license plate, real and imaginary visage studies, let’s keep to fact based, progressive dialogue. The traffic is unbelievably heavy and I am doing my damndest to manage this case and it’s speed.

    Respectfully, I can’t do minutia right now.

    TIA

    Moon, It is my theory that there is a reason that Terri’s bio son moved out of their home a couple of months ago. I think that Kyron knew something about her son that she never wanted him to say. She needed to keep Kyron quiet.

    I am sure whatever the reason, it is severe.

  6. mony says:

    My feelings on this is Kaine was the one having the affair.

    She set herself up for an alibi by taking his picture by science project, telling the teacher Kyron had a Dr appoinment so he had to leave early from school.

    She smothered Kyron and put him in a suitcase and threw him in the water at Sauvie Island.

    She came back home and posted his picture on the internet and called the school to pick up his project.

    LE bugged the home and LE found out something as to the safety of their daughter.

    Mrs. B. I’m grateful for the option to come here to read the latest. You do such a remarkable job of keeping the “room” balanced and focused. I’m with you on the Horman house, knowing his income level and what is available in the area, it was surprising to see the actual property. Anyway I feel bad even making that statement since spending is such a personal thing…it’s easier to file it under observation after you made the association too.

  8. SJC says:

    Excellent summation of TH, Twinkletoes. …talk about being the center of the universe. Self-will run riot.

  9. Heather says:

    The little girl had her last name on the pictures because TH had a facebook for her, and they were tagged as her full name for that reason. Kyron had no such page so no need for a last name.

    Jen,
    I am with you. WHY would Kaine do this RIGHT now?? I Child Protective services is investigating, would you not remove the baby from the house and TELL your wife that if she tries to see her right now that you WILL TAKE this step?? Your son is missing, your wie is under a glare of suspicioun, if you found out about some dinky affair (OR even worse involvement with kinky stuff) would you pick THIS DAY to serve her??

    Move out, protect the baby, but KEEP THE FOCUS ON KYRON. Honestly, this looks like an attempt at me to MAKE her look like the main suspect (ie..Punish her) to the POI or just a way for Kaine to make himself look good (ie..I left her as soon as I found out what was going on despite the fact that my kid was still missing and I had a couple other things going on in my life).

    It just doesn’t seem like an appropriate time to do this. Has anyone EVER heard of a case where someone filed for divorce THREE WEEKS after a huge tradgedy when the ofending party wasn’t even a named suspect?? Heck I think Misty’s boyfriend was trying to marry her about this time. I just feel like it’s a message.

  11. oneilgirl75 says:

    Oh Blink you make me laugh/sigh that you even take the time to respond to the ridiculous, although I hear the distain/frustration in your tone. ;o)
    I wish this was over already and we had the answers we need!
    I am praying in faith for Kyron and his family. No matter what the outcome they are going to need our prayers! I cannot imagine being in their positions ever. They are going to need love and comfort and prayers. We are coming up on a major child centered holiday I know in our family its HUGE. This will be a very hard weekend for them and another confirmation that Kyron is not with them.

    Matthew 17:20-21
    He replied, “Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘move from here to there’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.
    Mark 11:22-24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

  13. MissMonkey says:

    @cheyenne: I can’t be certain, but I am guessing the reason that Kiara is tagged as Kiara Horman and Kyron isn’t, is down to FB pulling up ‘Kiara Horman’ as a tagging option from Terri’s listed ‘Children’. As I do not have access to her profile, I cannot tell who she has and who she hasn’t, but I do know that I do not tag my children with their last names – as I only have their first names listed in my Children section – and I promise you that I do indeed love them.

    @Blink: do you think that most people will be shocked by the Who/Why/Whats of this case when there is an arrest made or other than the who and the where is he, are all of the details pretty much laid out already?

  14. seemeatthebeach says:

    My niece and nephew (both are my brother’s children of 2 different mothers) They both have step/half brothers and sisters. They are never addressed as “your step-brother or half sister”. We have always considered them brothers and sisters, period. We love them all as they are family. Children are all blessings!

  15. Bearlyhere says:

    Blink, I understand. How did I know you were going to say that? Like I said just feeling sensitive today about the whole thing. Another pedophile teacher was arrested here. Just can’t believe how many teachers have other issues. Then seeing Terri, even though they are married, made me want to puke.

    I hold teachers up to higher standards than the average bear. Maybe I should not, but I do. The fact that Terri is a teacher with a possible hinky side line really disturbs me. I so want this cutie to be found now!

  16. Karen says:

    I’m still with you, Blink, in the belief that TH is not directly involved in Kyron’s disappearance. But, I’m beginning to wonder if this case revolves around more than an affair. I would think TH has admitted that much already. There’s the possibility that drugs are involved, or what about pornography? There’s certainly something that she’s concealing from the police to protect herself.

  17. oneilgirl75 says:

    STOP generalizing with the step parent accusations!!!!! I have had a step Dad sense I was 16. Can you imagine coming into a girl’s life at 16. I was terrible to him and I mean terrible. Was in rehab by the time I was 17. I also have a younger brother that is 13 months younger then I he acted out but different then I. But our Step Dad was nothing but patient and waited for us and just loved us from a distance until we were ready to accept him. He has been more of a father and Grandfather to our children then my so called Dad has ever even thought of being. So when you are making all these wild accusations about “step parents” you are generalizing for all step parents which is actually really unfair!

  18. sunshine says:

    I just wanted to add my 2 cents about child protective services since I did work in the field for 3 years and was involved in countless abuse/neglect investigations, including one where the child was killed by moms live in boyfriend (trial hasn’t occurred yet so i guess hes innocent until proven guilty) and there was a young baby that was the shared biological child of both parents.

    because we were unsure of all the exact details of the case and had to wait patiently as the police investigation unfolded and the live in boyfriend was eventually arrested, I had to inform the mother that she either had to make another plan for the infant or the agency would make one for her (i.e foster care or kinship care with another relative)

    I am not saying this means terri harmed kyron at all, this is just an example as to how the sometimes confusing world of child welfare works

  19. mikki says:

    Okay, exactly what are these lifestyle choices to which many refer?

  20. Bearlyhere says:

    Cheyenne, I see that she does not have Kyron’s last name on his pictures. Kyron also has a birth mother to consider. Terri’s 2 biological children having their names on facebook is different, she does not have to consult anyone to put their last names there. Desiree has a say about putting Kyron’s last name there. Kyron will not come up when you put his name in the search engine. His parents could have decided not to put his name in there because he is too young.

  21. Blink says:

    NOW HEAR THIS GOOD BLINKSTERS:

    SO HELP ME IF I HAVE TO TURN THIS CAR AROUND-
    ( I DON’T RECALL THAT SENTENCE EVER HAVING AN ENDING AS A KID, SO THAT’S ALL I GOT.)

    FACTS. PROGRESSIVE CONTRIBUTIONS. YOU KNOW THE DRILL.

    THERE IS A RED TREE FROG EXPERT, 7, WHO NEEDS AND DESERVES TO BE FOUND, LET’S GEAR OUR EFFORTS ACCORDINGLY.

    THANKS FOR YOUR KIND PARTICIPATION.

  22. Bearlyhere says:

    Something that keeps tapping me on the shoulder is this, I wonder if this has to do with Terri being a teacher and Kyron having a learning disability (his vision). I know she likes to see children who do their projects independently and when Kyron did the bridge project, she said it was Kyron and Kaine’s bridge project. Desiree may have left Kyron stay with Terri because Terri is a teacher and thought that would be best for him. I am wondering if his father and mother enable him and it may be tough for Terri. This is just something that has been rolling around in my head living in the special needs world that I do. This is not my main focus, it is something I think about because it seems to me that Terri is somewhat of a perfectionist.

  24. Ragdoll says:

    Revelations of an affair? I too don’t believe step mom is a suspect. Unfortunately, not being where she said she was may have indirectly put her step son in harm’s way. I guess hind sight is 50/50.

    Don’t take your eyes of your babies. Over protective maybe…but the alternative is pure evil. xo

    Love and angels Kyron.

  27. Justanothermom says:

    Mony, you may have it there. Especially if Kaine has a history of cheating (say with Terri herself).

    B, inquiring minds want to know – where did you find the charming picture?

  28. lizzygoat says:

    Just curious why all of the photos you use have your “watermark” except this one? Was that photo from her facebook or did someone involved in the case purposely give it to you to put up? You must be working close with family to be using your own “watermark”? Love how articulate and well intentioned your blog is…that is what makes me curious.

    Also striking to me is how much alike they look in the photo…makes me consider when I see couples that look so much alike that what they mistake for love is actually some part of the reptile brain or ego based relationship.

    Anyway I’m glad I found your blog…been lurking for awhile!

  29. oneilgirl75 says:

    What can we do? I hope it wasn’t my posts. If so I hope I ducked the back hand that came flying my way ;o) I to will stay on my side of the car and put my earbuds in and listen to my ipod until the word is given that we are cleared to speak. LOL
    I will pray though. I know I cant get in trouble for that. I do that quiet and on my own.

    Praying in numbers, and channeling positive energy to the Universe to locate Kyron is all we really have some moments of the day. I believe in it entirely.

  31. lily says:

    Except in our house it was, “Don’t make me pull this car over and let you walk home”! Ohhhh, LOL

    All indications are that this little tree-frog loving sensitive boy is loved so much and cared for by many. This is a tragedy on so many levels and for the large extended family that loves Ky – my heart breaks for them every day that goes by and he is still not home.

    If it turns out to be someone on the periphery of this family that caused this evil because they were unintentionally invited where they should have been avoided then the guilt and shame will be huge. The lesson about sowing your wild oats before you have kids is a good one. Living your life on any edge after you have kids is only opening them up to risks and dangers they don’t deserve.

  32. searcher says:

    Maybe Kyron saw something that SM didn’t intend on him seeing and he wanted to tell his dad. Maybe SM saw her son getting in the way of her lifestyle choices and children at that age are so moral and honest. I can see Kyron being confused and having questions as to why she is not doing “normal” mom things.

  33. Marine Mama says:

    Oh Blink! You scared me..I heard my dads voice when you said that! (So help me if I have to turn this car around) MEMORY’s!!!

    I always knew he wouldn’t turn the car around though…not when we were on a road trip between Calif and Arizona. He did catch me rolling my eyes and pull the car over though. lol.

  34. Mom3.0 says:

    I think the statement the family gave yesterday says it all: they are doing whatever they can do, in an effort to protect both children-

    That could mean distancing themselves publicly- physically and finally(divorce) from Terri. If the person who took Kyron is fixated on Terri and wanting to punish her- They are showing this person that she has lost everything, their support, their love, her child-her husband-

    or Kyron’s disappearance was the tipping point in an already fractured relationship-

    or they can not overcome their suspicions-

    Point is, we do not know much of anything-

    Still praying for little Kyron, and his family- May LE get the answers they need to find him.

  35. Eloise says:

    Blink,
    Do we get to know where & when on the photo piece? (lol)

  37. Hulagirl says:

    The petition does mention the following: “The petitioner (Kaine Horman) is submitting a petition for a family abuse prevention act restraining order contemporaneously with the filing of this petition.”

    The restraining order was sealed Monday by Judge Keith Meisenheimer.

  38. Meg says:

    One cannot make sense out of this because we do not have all the information, as it should be. The police simply cannot tell us all we want to know. As for Kaine filing for divorce, at this point, he had to have a VERY good reason for doing so. All I am really interested in now is finding that darling little boy, one way or the other. He deserves to be found. I cannot fathom hurting any child in any way and I have a zero tolerance for anyone who does. If his step mom had anything to do with the disappearance of Kyron I hope they do arrest her and never let her see the light of day again. Being a step mom myself I know all step moms are not evil.

  39. Sister says:

    ROFLMAO — wonder what the end of that was . . . if I have to turn this car around — lol
    Thank you Blink for bringing us back to center. Bashing is a disturbing practice, especially without facts.
    P.S. When I was a kid, I was really a spit fire. When dear Dad made the above comment, all would be quiet until I would stick my brother with the safety pin I kept for such occasions (including church). Wouldn’t prick him hard, just enough that he would give out a yelp. It would always break the tension as everyone knew who had the pin and Dad would reach back and request said safety pin. It’s a wonder my brother loves me.

    lol. great story.

    The divorce filing also shows Kaine moved out with Kiara on 6/26 (last Saturday).

  41. Midwest Mom says:

    I would like a moment to chat with Desiree Young about her divorce and restraining order against Kaine. And ask what she meant by she feared Kaine Horman would “remove our children from their residence.”

    (Children/plural)

    http://wweek.com/editorial/3633/14183/

    REMOVE our children???”REMOVE”?? what did she mean by that? How did she think he was going to go about removing their children

    Definition of remove To move away from the position occupied; to cause to change place; to displace;
    To cause to leave a person or thing; to cause to cease to be; to take away; hence, to banish; to destroy; to put an end to; to kill;

    http://www.brainyquote.com/words/re/remove211973.html

    We don’t know why James is living with his bio-dad, or if Kaine had anything to do with it,nor Kyron.

    However I wonder if Desiree see’s the irony of what she feared from Kaine has now happened to Terri! All of her children(plural)have been “removed”

    so sad, kyron please come home!

  42. Jackie Bauer :) says:

    Blink: Just wanted to give my vote of support on the picture choice. It clearly demonstrates that this is what K&T thought appropriate in a public picture, so what was okay in private? At least that is what is says to me.

    And as for Terri, whether of not she is the one who “took” Kyron, if she is in any way responsible for him being taken, either thru her absolute lack of discretion and judgement or if she delivered him a la Fargo, or just turned her head and allowed something nefarious to happen to him, then she’s every bit as responsible, I think. “Mother” is, I always say, an action verb, not just a title, and step-or-not, she was still his mother, and responsible for his protection, well-being, etc. Adults charged with caring for children need to live their lives in ways that don’t put the kids at risk on any level–physically, emotionally, spiritually, psychologically, etc. kids should be provided for and protected–and our little red tree frog expert deserves all of that and more. Sorry, just had to say it.

    I’ve submitted 3 posts with links, but none have been posted. My last post and link were submitted by another person much later and the later post was chosen to be posted. None of my entries contained my personal thoughts, just the facts as linked. Hey, I’m just trying to give you relevant info, and I know you get tons of posts. Since you obviously have your pets here, I’ll go elsewhere.

    1. All posts are moderated. If there is one I need to respond to personally, or has to be vetted, it gets held up, HOWEVER, all posts once approved post in the order they appeared in the first place.

    2.I am looking at your posts, so they are definitely posted. You may need to click on older posts, because they are moving quickly.

    3. I already forgive the fresh comment about pets, because I know by the time I post this you have already figured that out and feel like a heel. No need, it’s all good.

    @Jackie I have a recent picture of my 69 year old dad grabbing my mom’s boob in jest, as I snapped a picture at a recent family reunion. I don’t want to think about what is okay in their private moments. LOL!

    Any other outcome is too painful to think about.

  47. Kim says:

    I’ve been on the side of the SM not being guilty…. but other scenarios are so complicated. Why get rid of Kyron? IF someone was framing or getting back at Terri… how would this day be any better than another? The person knew it would be hectic. and he would be easily missed and not reported. Did she suspect something happened? Get a threatening message? Drove around to find out what the person was doing? Anxiously approached the school bus, not wanting to go by herself for fear of him not getting off the bus and her fears being realized?

    Unless there’s a good plan behind this, man, i don’t know. Sounds more like a book plot than someone pulling this off. Or this is a scheme to get the real perp of guard or doing what that person wants – get rid of Terri and hurt her. Man, I’m going to eat crow supporting her, right?? sigh

  48. pamomma says:

    “Family Abuse Prevention Act Restraining Orders are intended to provide for protection from abuse by family, household members, or someone with whom you have had a sexual relationship. The abuse must have been committed within the last 180 days.”

    Note that the divorce filing does not state who the order of protection is for, could be Kaine or the baby.

    Good afternoon Blink and all Blink followers. First I would like to thank you for keeping us up to date on this case. There seems to be far more speculation than facts concerning this being circulated by the media and blogs but you have managed to cull the hodge-podge of information and present (or hint to) a scenario that makes the actions of the family and law enforcement seem more logical.

    Can I venture a guess based on your comment regarding the size and value of the Hormans home that this has something to do with financial issues possible due to gambling and debt incurred by SM?
