In his motion, he also accused Terri of “sexting” messages to Cook from her cell phone. Cook and Horman exchanged racy and graphic sexual messages back and forth since June 30th.

    Oh Blink, can this case get any stranger??? Poor Kyron, I gave Terri the benefit of the doubt but all I can say now is she needs to do the right thing and tell the police what she knows! Bring that little boy home :(

    OMG, sexting with a childhood friend of her husband? WTH? This woman is clueless.

    She doesn’t care about Kyron, Kiara or Kaine. Sicko!

  3. Jane says:

    mmmmmmm…since June 30th? Does any of this make you think cute little Kyron may have seen something going on that he shouldn’t have? Prayers for Kyron, his family and friends.

    “Kyron Horman’s stepmom won’t contest her husband’s push to have her leave their home; new documents allege sexual relationship
    Published: Monday, July 12, 2010, 12:35 PM Updated: Monday, July 12, 2010, 2:47 PM

    In an additional filing today, Kaine Horman’s lawyer asked that the court impose “remedial” sanctions against Terri Horman, claiming she disclosed documents that had been sealed in the restraining order case to one or more unauthorized parties.

    The filing says Terri Horman disclosed sections of the restraining order, at the time it was still sealed by the court, to a man named Michael Cook.

    The filing alleges Terri Horman is now involved in an intimate and sexual relationship with Cook, saying the sexual nature of the relationship began four days after Kaine Horman left their house.

    Authorities found evidence that Terri Horman and Cook were “sexting” on or after June 30. Cook went to high school with Kaine Horman, the document says.

    “Law enforcement has informed petitioner that the materials supporting this relationship that have been obtained and clarified by interviews with Mr. Cook include hundreds of text messages as well as several photographs of respondent in various stages of undress and graphic sexual activity,” the filing says.

    Terri Horman asked Cook to lie to her own attorney and others about the fact she had gone to Cook’s home, the filing says.

    It says Terri Horman allowed Cook to take cellphone photos of the restraining order and obtained the undisclosed address of Kaine Horman and his daughter.

    The filing also says Terri Horman came to the gym daycare center where her daughter Kiara was while her dad was working out on June 28 – the day Terri was served with a restraining order – looking to “abduct” her daughter.

    Kaine Horman is seeking sanctions against his wife, ranging from a $500 fine to confinement for being in contempt of court. His attorney asks the court to set a date for a hearing on the matter.

    “Due to the ongoing investigation pertaining to the disappearance of petitioner’s son Kyron, respondent’s attempt to hire someone to murder petitioner, and the media and public interest in this high profile matter, petitioner believes that it is important for access to this information to be restricted in order to protect the safety and privacy of the minor children and petitioner,” Kaine’s attorney, Laura Rackner wrote in a filing today.

    Though this does not qualify as a surprise in the courtroom; I wonder if this peeved Houze.

    I actually believe that was the intention. Why else would you seek a contempt order for a RELEASED order, that the DA himself no longer objected to.

    In the PR biz, we call this “found money.”

    Regardless, what could possibly be left to say?

    wow…I think I am speechless for a change…this is indeed one of the most twisted cases I have followed…poor Kyron. Kiara, and James…what a legacy they will have to endure for life…

  7. zeus says:

    Blink, I stand in awe of you! I was about to post a comment here on BOC about Kaine filing the alleged affair of Terri with another man-when I got back on BOC your new stunner was up! Name of person and all!

    Here’s a paragraph snipped from Oregonlive I just read:

    “In an additional filing today, Kaine Horman’s attorney alleges Terri Horman is now involved in an intimate and sexual relationship with another man, saying the sexual nature of the relationship began four days after Kaine Horman left their house.”

  8. Twinkletoes says:

    I have no idea what this is about or whether Kaine has a basis to his claims and if so, I don’t really care. If it is true that Mr. Cook has been supportive of Terri, I see no problem with that. Sorry, but this doesn’t seem like Kain is trying to keep the focus on Kyron here. He sounds bitter and jealous instead. Terri agreed to leave the house. Good for everyone. Is she supposed to forego any contact with anyone who is supportive of her. I she supposed to the pariah he is trying to make her into? In my opinion, the mere suggestion that she might be trusting someone and discussing the case with someone is a very, very hopeful sign.

  9. hervness says:

    Ugh. Really? I mean, this doesn’t prove any guilt or innocence, but it certainly doesn’t help her character any.
    I read through the motion and allowing someone to take graphic pictures of you throughout all this and then asking them to lie to your attorney? Not good. What sort of person goes along with this?
    Man, I’m ashamed for these people.

  10. equuslady says:

    But the real question is:

    Does this filing on behalf of Kaine Hormon attract or distract, clarify or muddy the issue on finding Kryon Hormon?

  11. mag603 says:

    According to this article the relationship began 4 days ater Kyron disappeared.

  12. BeccaBoo says:

    How did Kaine know this? Was cook setting her up? Did Cook confess out of guilt or shame? Did the LE monitor her phone? Hopefully Cook got more info and was undercover. I see evil, not illness. To be engaging in such behavior during all of this. She’s lost her child too. Sad.

  13. Mom3.0 says:

    I am trying really hard not to judge -until we know all the facts- Is it me or does it seem that Terri’s self worth is very much intertwined with her sexual prowess?

    I am having a hard time understanding(if these allegations are true) how the step mother of a missing child, who has lost custody of her baby, and is undersuspicion of hiring a hitmen and of being behind the disappearance of her child, could have the mindset to sext anyone, let alone someone that is a long time friend of her estranged husband.

    Why would she continue to add fuel to the fire? Especially in ways that can be undoubtedly found out and traced back to her? It seems as though she is on self destruct and/or is hell bent on continuing to cause herself and or her husband pain-

    Is this true? Are you punishing yourself and your husband for something? Do you not understand how all this looks?

    If it is not true, Kaine would have to be actively trying to paint you in a bad light- Why?

    It is true.

  14. Jackie Bauer :) says:

    WTF? This is most bizarre. I know this type of behavior falls under sociopath, but it doesn’t sound like PPD to me or just Kaine being mean, or any of the other possible excuses I’ve read for her behavior. JMO: this is abominable behavior for someone whose life is in the state that THs life is in. If I sound judgmental, it’s because I am making a judgement call. This is FUBAR. There are no excuses for this. Kyron is missing, Kiara has been taken from her, she can’t even see James, and she’s SEXTING and it sounds like having a relationship already? Shocked, appalled, offended, nauseated, disgusted–there aren’t enough words. Sorry, Bink, you probably can’t even post this, but I just can’t imagine any human with even a modicum of decency, much less a heart and a soul behaving this way. This is Casey Anthony all over again. Good to know TH is trying to lie to her attorney already, however. If stories of his reputation are true, he will leave the case if she’s dishonest with him…

  15. ClassyGal says:

    WOW! Almost sounds like it’s all a joke to her. Very very sad and not too bright I might add!

  16. snapoutofit says:

    Read through the court documents, and the part where it states that Terri had gone into the gym where Kaine was and asked the receptionist where their daughter was (in an attempt to abduct her?)

  17. MissMonkey says:

    Here’s a question.. if Kaine and Kiara were at an undisclosed address, then why does Terri’s copy of the RO have that address on it? (This article states that is where they got it – http://www.kgw.com/news/Court-doc-Kaine-Terri-Horman-kyron-horman-contempt-sexting-98270654.html )

  18. anotherB says:

    Is Cook also the gardener, or is that someone else??

  19. Charlotte says:

    I also just heard on HLN that she violated the RO and showed up at the gym and tried to take Kiara.

    Blink what part of the world are you? Just wanted to know if we are on the same times?

  20. akmom02 says:

    I am so surprised every time there is an update on this case. I don’t believe it was PPD, I’ve tried my best to believe the best in TH, that it was PPD or something similar, but she keeps making my jaw drop with each new twist. Who would be thinking about “sexting” when the child you raised has been missing, whether you were innocent or guilty? I just can’t believe there is such evil walking among us.

  23. Eloise says:

    Wow! Thanks for the update Blink. I had just done a quick read of the files on katu. I have to say, I think TH is way beyond PPD. She wants Kaine dead. End of story. What is this guy Cook’s problem? Is he so desperate for sexual contact that he would stoop so low? So there is nothing beside monetary compensation for her actions? I am so irritated with this BS already. Her contempt for thie whole situation is beyond anything I have ever seen. She might be ready to surpass Casey soon. This event tells me the reason KH & DY announced last PM about holding off on the press conference this week.

  24. Muse says:

    I just heard this report on the news. Every time I think her story can’t get any more bizarre, I’m stunned all over again. Sexting during a time of grief, despair and what should be cooperation with LE? A lover who organizes the vigil? Next we’ll be hearing she got a Bella Vita tattoo.

  25. vidda says:

    Thank you for the link, Blink !

    I cannt digest the news yet..thank god, I dont know anybody else with a friend like M Cook !Unspeakable

  26. landlmom says:

    Thank You friend.

    I showed Blink Jr. this piece (just the Larry Part) and he goes… WAIT.. Scroll up..YOU GAVE THEM LARRY???

    Priceless.

    Then he said, I really don’t mind when you put him in my bed when I’m sleeping. Do you think it would bring the little boy home if you told him he could have him?

    Be still my heart.

    The above link is to the newest court documents, July 12 (Kaine accuses Terri of affair and of sharing sealed documents with Mr. Cook and possibly others) who should have never seen said documents. Said documents were photographed by Mr. Cook on his cell phone, along with TH in some very compromising positions, and Mr. Cook actually found Kaine’s new address and googled it! No safety in sealed documents that are passed around!

    After reading this entire 13 page document, what I got out of it was this. Either TH doesn’t give a s**t about anyone but herself—or she is so far in denial that she is acting on some weird form of adrenaline. Sadly, I think it is the first one.

    Maybe she thinks she really got what she wanted after all-no kids to take care of, a new lover and a free life (for now at least).

  28. melissab says:

    Yep, horrible and wrong thing to do at this time but I fell she is just reaching out for someone, anyone that will be on her side. Especially if she is feeling lost without her husband. Maybe things haven’t been okay at the Horman home for quite some time and KH could’ve been doing his own thing too. I do find it odd that his friend would accept and sext back at this time unless there was something going on before now. Maybe he had a crush on her for awhile and he offered himself to a very vulnerable woman. For goodness sakes her parents are with her aren’t they? Surely they would guide/aide her in her decisions right now, wouldn’t you think? Well I guess sexting isn’t breakfast with the ‘rents convo now is it? Oh, and about trying to take her daughter from the gym…I would go even farther than that to get her back. I would’ve fought legally first though. Desperate people do stupid things. I’ll have to overlook that lack of good judgement. If by chance she had no hand in Ky’s disappearance and her only fault might be child neg. leaving him unattended at the school maybe to meet up with a suitor then Kaine sure knows how to play the paper game through the courts re: custody and divorce now doesn’t he? Kinda like tit for tat…I think you took my boy now I’m gonna take our daughter from you. All this is hypothetical and MOO. Seeing Kaine in a whole different light. He’s a slick one.

  29. TBZ says:

    Blink,

    Just read about this at one of the local tv stations. Is Michael Cook married as well?

  30. Hebeke says:

    If Kaine moved out on June 26 how would he know that Terri and his friend have been “sexting” since June 30? It doesn’t seem like something either party would admit to with everything else going on. If it is true, why would Terri participate, especially if LE has access to her cell records? Just when you think this can’t get any stranger, it does.

  31. ann says:

    How could she be so cold to be sexting when someone shes says she love is missing. I hope the police bring her down soon.

  32. GraceintheHills says:

    This story just keeps getting stranger and stranger. One would think that TH would realize all of her behavior is going to be scrutinized by the media and the public. It appears that she is growing more impulsive and reckless as the pressure on her increases.

  33. Hulagirl says:

    Lordy Lordy!! Just when I thought it couldn’t get any stranger. Wondering, How did Kaine find out about these messages? From LE? Were they only since June 30th? or is that only as early as they’ve looked thus far?

  34. FLGirl says:

    Wow, very interesting.

  35. beejay says:

    Wow! Kaine’s attorney accomplished a lot with that contempt of court document. Most cautionary for Terri is that the groundwork is already being laid for establishing a pattern of behavior on her part (sexual involvment/overtures with LS and an alledged solicitation for murder; now sexting, lascivious photos sent, possibly more with Michael Cook, and also getting cook to find Kaine and Kiara’s location).

    Will she also get fired by her own atty for lying about what’s going on with Cook?

    The only good thing is this gives me hope that it might not be Kaine she’s after at all. It might be Kiara. And, so maybe she never looked appropriately grief-stricken over Kyron because she knows he’s alive and she has him hidden (safely, one hopes) away. Snatching one of her children at a time and will join them later in a country where they can live happily ever after.???

    Either that, or she’s just more deeply mentally disturbed than anyone anticipated. I’m going to enjoy, however briefly, and for the first time ever, feeling hope that Kyron just might, MIGHT, be alive and more-or-less well.

  36. sleuthhound says:

    Blink,

    This story gets more bizarre and ominous by the day. Now Kaine is betrayed by his childhood friend, Cook was quoted in a local news report early on as saying he was distressed by Kyrons disapearance, as he has a child the same age?????? sorry can’t seem to link this article

    Prayers for Kyron

  37. momoftwo says:

    Just curious how the Kaine found out about all of this. Is LE monitoring Terri’s phone? Did Michael come forward to Kaine about viewing restraining order? Was this set up? So many questions. This just gets stranger each week. I pray that Kyron will be found soon. It breaks my heart.

  38. Sue says:

    After hearing and reading about this latest news Blink, I feel almost foolish that I tried to reach the “motherly” side of her in my letter to her on your other thread. How could she even be thinking of sex with anyone while this precious child is missing? Even to be sexting to Michael Cook…. WTH?? She has some serious problems, and I’m afraid more than anything that Kyron was a victim of her madness.

    Not about her.
    I would stand buck naked in the center of town for a day if someone could guarantee me it would bring Kyron home, as I believe most Mother’s would. The end always justifies the means.

  39. osu says:

    Since June 30th?? Well, if that’s where her mind has been since poor little Kyron’s disappearance then what else can one think?

  40. Cartwheel says:

    This woman is UNbelievable.

  41. Doug says:

    A sane person can’t even begin to make this stuff up. How sad.

  42. starshadow says:

    Now he wants to control who she sees after he’s filed for divorce?

  43. minima says:

    wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. attempting to abduct kiara too. just when you think this case can’t get any more strange…

    and just when you start to have hope that Terri will do the right thing…well, i don’t think anything can sway my opinion of her at this point.

    “lifestyle choices” well, you may be wrong sometimes, blink, as you have claimed, but certainly not here.

    wow.

  44. Meg says:

    Terri is really worried about Kyron isn’t she? If my step child was missing the last thing on my mind would be sending graphic sex messages to anybody. She is really some piece of work. I don’t feel sorry for her in any form, shape or fashion. If she knows anything about Kyron being missing I don’t see how she lays her head down at night. God love this little boy!!!

  45. lizzy says:

    Started to react, and then realized nothing has changed. Troubled and confused is still troubled and confused. I just continue to be bewildered by those who feed into it rather than helping. This did not happen overnight.

    So sad. This family really needed some 241.
