Kyron Horman Missing and Endangered: Kaine Horman Accuses Terri of Contempt With Michael Cook
BREAKING NEWS
Portland, OR– late today, through his attorney, Kaine Horman filed contempt of court charges against Terri Horman for showing a previously sealed restraining order to childhood friend of Kaine’s, Michael Cook.
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.
Michael Cook is best known for organizing the first vigil for Kyron Horman on June 7th and speaking briefly to reporters as he ran errands and stocked food and beverages for those in the home when Kyron first went missing.

Kaine: please, please, Can we please keep the focus on Kyron?
Regarding the link I left in my last comment, that’s not him. Sorry!

IMO you have it right – this unrelenting scrutiny of her has put more pressure on her than she probably ever imagined! Also, TV/crime books don’t begin to clue you in on how LE performs a full colonoscopy of your life and you’re still awake for it! Let’s hope that this pressure keeps up so that she cracks open enough to bring Kyron home.

So sad. This family really needed some 241.
What is 241? TIA.
I’ve been away for a few days and I had hoped for good news but
this situation is not progressing anywhere positive. I am just so sad
for little Kyron. He should be having summertime fun….
Desiree must be so crushed by this news. I hope she gets closure soon so she can start to mend…if that’s even possible.
I would imagine that KH was told by LE. It’s no secret that LE is tracking her phone records and they probably…perhaps they share that info with KH and he said, hey, that’s my friends number…and there ya go…
Cook drives a blue truck and a trucker said he saw a boy with a startled look on in a blue pick up truck and called that tip in and the FBI called him back.. Was Terri driving Cooks truck
Ask yourself what type of person these characteristics describe?
-promiscuous behavior
-Need for stimulation
-lack of guilt
-shallow affect
-parasitic lifestyle
-poor behavioral control
-short-term marital relationships
if the restraining order wasn’t filed yet, and Kaine had not been granted temporary sole custody yet, then it would NOT have been kidnapping for her to pick up her own daughter from the gym daycare, right?
Blink,
Interesting language pattern/verbage (“tit for tat”) and post content (KH “doing his own thing” and “slick”) by melissab. That’s all.
“Affidavit of Counsel re: Motion and Order to show cause re:Contempt
#14 Law enforcement has informed Petitioner’s attorney that Respondent’s stated personal relationship concerns and sexual overtures to Mr. Cook resemble those made to the man Respondent previously attemepted to hire to murder Petitioner.
http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2010/07/kyrons_stepmom_wont_contest_he.html
You’d think she’d be smart to change her method but it’s worked in the past, it’ll work in the present
Who could resist!?
The picture of Micheal Cook from FOX 12 video does not look like you picture. They showed June video of Michael Cook putting up a Kyron banner.
same guy, older pic
B
For those asking how Kaine knew about this affair, you can read it in Blink’s link in the article. From the motion:
“Law enforcement has informed Petitioner that the materials supporting this relationship that have been obtained and clarified by Mr. Cook include hundreds of text messages as well as several photographs of respondent in various stages of undress and graphic sexual activity. In a word, law enforcement has made Petitioner aware that Mr. Cook and Respondent were “sexting” on or after June 30, 2010.”
What follows is even more interesting, because I was wondering how Terri did this not only against all logic, but certainly advice from her own criminal attorney. The motion goes on to read, “Respondent asked Mr. Cook to lie to her own attorney and others about the fact that she had gone to Mr. Cook’s home.”
This woman has absolutely no credibility at this point, least of all with her own attorney.
OT
I think she’s just trying to publicly clarify her gender preference b4 she’s incarcerated.
My People Mag. arrived today. Little Kyron and Terri are on the cover.
“What Does Stepmom Know?”……I think LE is closing in on Terri, and if she hurt little Kyron, I pray she gets the death penalty, and has to do HARD LABOR until the needle hits her arm! PPD my azz…EVIL and selfish, greedy, sluttish……I lost any sympathy I once might have had for her. Sorry Blink.
Blink, who’s the other person that Terri knows who is involved in Kyron’s disappearance? Is it:
1)Michael Cook?
2)An “associate” of the first known lover-hit-man/landscaper who participated in the sting operation?
3)A new unknown (to us) landscaper type hit-man
4)Someone who lives on Sauvie Island who has a student at Skyline Elementary school?
How close are the authorities to finding this out or breaking this news to us?
I personally think that Kains’s High School friend’s participation was to meredly help/ assis the process along — perhaps like Blink’s attempt to get a true narcissist and/or sociopath to speak/admit. My mother is — at the very least — a narcissist. I know.
Good job.
Cc, you said:
“Cook drives a blue truck and a trucker said he saw a boy with a startled look on in a blue pick up truck and called that tip in and the FBI called him back.. Was Terri driving Cooks truck”
Got a link on that? Anything more???
Am I reading this right–isn’t Terri now facing jail time for this contempt of court charge? And how long do you think lawyer Houze will play along with her games? Most of all, where is Kyron?
if “Kyron is alive” and “terri did not act alone” then why on earth are they using all their press conference time to belittle and defame terri but not even one second to ask her alleged accomplice to return Kyron to them?
After reading the latest, I just don’t think TH cares about anybody/anything other than herself. It looks as though she’ll stop at nothing to get what she wants. How sad for anyone in her path – including her own family.
We were all wondering why she didn’t fight the RO taking Kiara away. She was working “behind” the scenes to get her baby back. Sad that she has to manipulate men with sex. And that they fall for it.
Now I’m wondering if there’s some legitimacy to the swinging suspicions. Did Michael Cook take the picture of Kaine’s hand on Terri’s boob?
On July 1, 42nd State posted this on Oregon Live: “I also would look into michael cook – he is kaine’s buddy but after the move ot / divorce papers he is helping terri and bringing her supplies?” Someone was forward thinking.
Obviously michael cook is a sleaze and was trying to dig up info for kaine – or else how did kaine find out about this?
Excellent point, Lizzy. “Troubled and confused is still troubled and confused.”
I usually understand “Blink-speak” fairly well, but I am a little confused/concerned/curious about the above comment #36 to Sue: “Not about her.”
B., Are you implying that this latest contempt charge is not about Terri. Is it about Cook? Is Cook directly involved in Kyron’s disappearance? Is Terri showing that she is willing to do anything to ensure Kyron’s safe return?
I am certainly willing to refrain from judging. I have been reading here since November. I do not doubt that you have an excellent reason for appealing publicly to Terri Horman. There must be so much more to this story. Thanks for being you.
Blink,
I am sorry. Please forgive my anger. I watched JVM this evening, and it showed some adorable photos of little Kyron with that beautiful smile, and bright blue eyes. You will not hurt my feelings if u delete the above. I understand. I really do.
Terri’s actions actually don’t infuriate me, they scare the H E double hockey sticks out of me. I fear she has deeper emotional issues than I originally thought and may be more cold hearted too. I really hope her attorney can persuade her to get some therapy because I think it may be the only way Terri will admit what she knows plus just by her actions I think she desperately needs it.
blink..blink…blink..unbelievable
Interesting that the woman in this photo with Michael Cook seems to have red hair.
Oh man Blink- Okay- It is true. I think there is something seriously lacking in Terri’s view of what is appropriate and what is not. She seems to be crave male attention.
What is this guys story?- Is he also completely devoid of intelligence and scruples? Or is it another case of LE using a person to try to get answers (like the Hitman landscaper?)
How could they both think that this would go undiscovered in the midst of a child abduction and a custody case?
It almost seems as though Terri is relieved not to have any children to care for right now- as if it has freed her from restrictions…
If she is capable of not worrying about her children’s well being, and being worried about Kains whereabouts- what else is she capable of?
Kaine, and his children, along with the spouse of Cook and her children are in my thoughts tonight.
Still praying for little Kyron and his family…
I sadly have to say that scale of justice is tipping more and more to the guilty side…
I just have a gut feeling this case is going break any day
someone will talk
break loyality finally
Aside from her (what most of us would consider) inappropriate timing on the sexting, and that Kaine might feel TH giving away his and Kiara’s location puts them at risk, what are the odds that the plan (of LE or Kaine) is to call Terri out at every possible opportunity, on every questionable act, until she finally cracks under the pressure and helps lead them to Kyron? If she is reponsible, what are the odds she hasn’t told someone? She doesn’t seem to have great impulse control there…
I did not know how SELECTIVE this site actually is. I have submitted 3 posts, none have posted. One of those submissions was merely asking for confirmation that one of my posts was received.
While I have no idea how many posts you receive and/or review, I must believe you are excluding my posts for a reason — which I am not pleased. In as much, I saw you go ape shit on a poster who was not posting what you actually wanted, but you chose to do it so that you could go “freak” on her. Interesting.
At the very least, please be professional enough to respond to me in private — or however you choose to let people know that their knowledge and experience is not welcomed. I have read some real questionable posts on here and I can’t imagine that mine would not be posted.
I am beginning to think that you are nothing but a drama whore who will appease those in power.
Yep.
You don’t go on alot of second dates, do you?
It is called moderation. Manic posting line forms to the right. To the right of the url to this site, fyi.
Yowza.
I know Michael Cook has been extremely helpful to the Searchers, the investigators, Kaine and Terri H. by going out of his way to bring them supplies and anything they might need. I would be very suspicious from the get go about this man. And if he is a good friend to Kaine, I feel he has been playing both sides so he can be a part of this entire ordeal. I do not think most of us would be “hitting it” with our soon to be ex-husband’s friend, who suddenly appeared recently. Perhaps she needed him to console her and many people in extreme situations, use sex as a crutch to forget about real life. I am just wondering what he hopes to get out of this and why keep revealing pictures on your cell phone unless it is to use them later for his own means. I don’t feel there is a relationship, as in love, just an outlet for both parties involved. I also want to think that Terri H. was also duped somewhat by this helpful man. By the way, how does a person contact Blink privately?
You may post on here, opening line should read Private DO NOT POST.
Only you and I will see it
B
She is like the female Drew Peterson. I don’t think it’s possible for a person to care LESS about Kyron than this woman. A child is MISSING, her child is taken from her and she’s SEXTING and taking racy photos in her spare time. She is Heartless. Worthless. Please Please let there be resolution soon and let the full force of the law with NO MERCY fall upon her. Because she has certainly shown no mercy to Kyron or anyone that loves him.
What the hell is wrong with Michael Cook?? I don’t know exactly how he fits in but I pray that he contributes to a break in this heartbreaking CASE.
http://blogs.wweek.com/news/2010/07/12/court-doc-terri-horman-started-affair-after-kyron-disappeared/
oh dear.
Addiction is an ugly, powerful, heartbreaking thing.
Wow. I’m speechless. Seems like someone believes she’s the star of a new soap opera….
Serious question, though: Why would an RO list the address of the “undisclosed location” of the person filing it?! Especially in a case that involves an alleged MFH plot, possible child endangerment (Kyron) and the potential to harm/kidnap another child (Kiara)???
The “Keep Portland Weird!” committee never could have dreamed this up.

Blink,

Melissab has been around for awhile, joco. Honestly if Terri was everyone she’s been accused of being on the net, she’d have a full time job.
What a mess this is! Where is Kyron?
I am curious about the fact that Kaine’s new address was in the sealed record and not only Terri saw it, but let Cook read it. He then proceeded to photograph the address with his cell phone and google map it too. Cook let LE view all of his cell phone records and was interviewed also. That is all specified in today’s court documents. How could Kaine and Kiara be protected if their supposed undisclosed address was disclosed in the document that was given to Terri. That seems wrong.
My first thought was that maybe Cook is being used to get info from Terri, but that seems like a long shot right now.
For those who have not read the entire court document that Koin has on their site, here’s the link again:
http://www.koinlocal6.com/media/lib/107/b/2/c/b2c0c26c-4221-4fde-a923-fa5788b1ad69/Horman.pdf
I have a sinking feeling that reaching out to Terri with our posts would have done no good. I dont think Kyron even rates with her. You do have to wonder if Kiara was just a “fashion accessory.” I also don’t think this “relationship” with Mr. Cook just started last month, IMO. Could he possibly be the link to Kyron’s disappearance?
Was worth a try. Was never about her.

I am just so sick of this woman.
Where the hell is Kyron???
Detailed report from KGW Portland, Oregon

Friends and neighbors of missing Kyron Horman gathered at a candlelight vigil Tuesday evening in Northwest Portland to comfort one another and pray for the 7-year-old’s safe return.
“We know that time has passed. … We know that time isn’t necessarily on our side,” said Michael Cook, 37, who helped to organize the event and is a friend of Kyron’s father, Kaine Horman. “But every case is unique, and we’re hopeful that Kyron is found soon and returned to his family, safely, where he belongs.”
“The more that we can spread that face, that image and his story,” Cook said, “the more likely that when Kyron is seen, that person will have in his mind that ‘I need to call that tip line.’ ”

Everyone is holding onto hope. Kaine Horman and Desiree Young are doing anything they can to bring Kyron home. That included asking friends like Michael Cook for help. Michael went to high school with Kaine and has a son very close to Kyron’s age. “If my son were missing, I’d be incomplete and devastated,” said Michael.
Michael can see the pain on the faces of Desiree and Kane. The two say they’re not prepared for whatever the outcome may be. Michael got a glimpse of a few clips from the interview with Desiree and Kaine. “What I saw were two people that miss their boy and are doing their best to remain strong,” said Michael.
A lot of the strength comes through supportive friends. Since Kyron’s disappearance from Skyline Elementary three weeks ago, Michael has helped hang banners and pass out buttons, anything he can do to keep the missing 7 year old’s name and face out in the public. And now he has green bracelets to hand out. Printed on one side is “Bring Kyron Home,” on the other side is the tip line: 503-261-2847. “It’s a sign to whoever is responsible for Kyron’s disappearance that we as a community will remain vigilant. We are not going to give up and let go of this until we find out what happened to Kyron,” said Michael.

Close friends have spoken out to defend her.
“Terri was the last one to see Kyron, so it is only reasonable to assume that people would speculate and become suspicious of Terri,” said friend Michael Cook. “But it doesn’t mean she had anything to do with it.”

Kaine Horman, who is living in an undisclosed location, has not responded to attempts by The Oregonian to reach him. Michael Cook, a friend from high school who earlier this month helped organize a vigil for 7-year-old Kyron, said he has spoken with him, but he declined to say how Horman was doing.
“It’s sad,” he said about the latest development in the case. “It’s very sad. I’m just a friend. I hope Kyron comes home.”
Cook, who has been at the Horman house Tuesday and Wednesday, urged the public not to prejudge anyone. “I’m not jumping to any conclusions or passing any sort of judgment,” he said. “I don’t know what happened to Kyron and I won’t presume that someone is responsible because of how things might appear.”
About 4 p.m. Wednesday, Cook drove up in a blue pickup truck laden with supplies for Terri Horman and her family and friends.
He parked among the 10 or so news vehicles hugging the shoulder on Sheltered Nook Road, dropped off a cooler filled with beverages — an olive branch to the cameramen and reporters — then drove up to the home and dropped off 12-packs of Coca-Cola and 7-Up, bottles of Arrowhead water, Hefty kitchen garbage bags, Quaker Chewy granola bars and catfood.
He declined to talk about the mood inside the home, saying he feared his words would be twisted

sheesh…so now we have new initals….MC
Blink,
Has it been established if Kaine and/or Kyron had life insurance polices?
TIA
I see comments on other sites where people are stating “what does this have to do with Kyron?” This just may have EVERYTHING to do with Kyron!
zeus: 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.
Makes me wonder if steroid use is involved.
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).
I’ve wondered if raising kids since she was — what, 24ish? — might have been a source of frustration for TMH that was further exacerbated by some kind of mid-life crisis.
I don’t care what TMH does in private or with whom she does it (TMI applies here!) As sensational as it may seem on the surface, this is really about the utterly unsexy aspects of TMH’s character: divulging restricted information, violating the terms of the RO to stay away from the gym & Kiara, and, of course, more lying, secrecy and belligerant behavior. IMO.
I think the most important part of this discovery this afternoon has to do with TH exposing the address he and Kiara are staying at. Personally, if I were Kaine, I wouldn’t care who she was sexting with at this point. Though I would be upset and humiliated that someone I knew to be a family friend would get involved in such a way. But, the point is, Cook and who knows who else may know where they are residing. I think this is particularly alarming since this guy took a pic of the document. If you were merely being supportive, do you need a photo and to google it on a map? That is nefarious behavior in my book.
Did anyone else find it odd that he stayed at the house with Terri and her pals when Kaine left? I thought that was weird. I remember when they quoted him as not wanting to say anything because he didn’t want his words twisted. Yeah…twisted, he’s twisted, alright. The term punk comes to mind when I think of a childhood friend that would get involved with one’s partner, in the midst of a terrible crisis, particularly when all fingers were pointing at the partner.
@midwestmom, why don’t you ask Terri to stop being such a despicable piece of garbage, instead of trashing the PARENT (not a pseudo-parent, not pretend parent, not someone who is sexting their spouse’s childhood friend, but the actual PARENT) of a missing child? That broad is no parent. She’s not a step-parent, not any kinda parent, not even to her own kids.
@blink- “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.”
Whoa. Do you believe she is engaging in her sexting (etc…) relationship with Kaine’s childhood friend in some effort to guarantee that Kyron will come home?
@Andy- Describes an opportunistic sociopath (kinda redundant, but…appropriate).
@AmyL- Kinda sounds like it was after he left, huh? Since Kaine had her at the gym, and all…and the receptionist told on her, and notified the authorities? Ya think?
@Blink- Anyone know where this guy was on June 4? He’s messin’ around with the missing kid’s step-mom?
She put up a good front, I GUESSSSS….until children start coming up missing, she’s hiring hit men, and sending sexually explicit texts to her husband’s buddy. Yeah, nice lady. Eh…midwestmom, mebbe she’s avail for babysitting?
Blink, what are the chances that TH will see any jail time from the contempt of court charge?
zero.
B
Would the restraining order have Kaines address on it?
Would LE really share this info with Kaine?
Terri knows she is being watched like a hawk.. this make no sense
