On what is Kyron Horman’s 8th Birthday, the Skyline School, where Kyron was scheduled to begin the third grade, is buzzing with the start of the years activities without him.

< ?xml:namespace prefix ="" o /> 

In response to the disappearance and presumed abduction of the bespectacled herpetologist; Skyline has implemented a myriad of mandatory safety features as well as a state of the art security camera system. While complete with facial recognition capability, one face it will not be recognizing today, is that of Kyron Horman.

 

Although missing since the morning of June 4, 2010, there have been no updates from the many State and Federal agencies participating in the criminal investigation of his disappearance since August 12, 2010. 

 

Adding to the mounting concern about the status of Kyron’s fate are the words of his own parents, Kaine Horman and Desiree Young.

 

“The police will not stop until they find Kyron and the harder they have to search–the harder this will get for you,” wrote Young. “You will go to jail and whoever has been helping you will have to talk police or they will go to jail.”

 

It is clear from Kaine and Desiree’s comments that they believe Terri Horman, Kyron’s step mom, is at least partially responsible for Kyron vanishing. While they stop short of naming any possible accomplices, Rod Underhill, the chief deputy district attorney of Multnomah County, Captain Jason Gates, Detective Bob O’Donnell of the Multnomah County Sheriff Office have sought the publics help to flush them out. Multnomah County Chief Deputy District Attorney Rod Underhill said a witness, or witnesses, have reported seeing someone else by the Hormans’ extended-cab pickup while it was parked in front of the school between 8:15 a.m. and 8:45 a.m. on June 4, the day Kyron disappeared. In what was characterized as a slip-up, methinks that that Kyron’s Mom told us that someone was actually Kyron.

While Terri Horman is holed up at her parents newly refinanced home in Roseburg and under the mortgage-sized retainer protection of Stephen Houze; she is awaiting the September 21st contempt hearing  for allegedly violating an order that she not disclose the “sealed” reasoning for, or contents of,  the current restraining order in effect against her.

 

Accomplice, Witness, Opportunist or Collateral Damage?

 

 

Rodolfo “Rudy” Estrada Sanchez

 

Sanchez 1

 Rudy is the owner of RS Landscape Maintenance and the alleged former landscaper/ love interest of Terri Horman.  He is also the man who says Terri Horman asked him to murder her husband Kaine late last year. Investigators clearly believed his story as it was the basis for an attempted sting on June 26th by MCSO including an undercover DEA agent. Sanchez, wearing a wire, demanded a $10,000 payment from Horman for services rendered, except Kaine was very much alive. As the information gleaned from Sanchez provided to Kaine Horman indicates this alleged “contract”discussion with his wife happened over 7 months ago, it is unclear what the payment demand could actually be for. Sanchez testified before the grand jury on August 4. While the content of his testimony is secret, the fact that whatever he testified to outside of pleading the “On the advice of counsel I plead the 5th and hereby assert all of it’s protections.” grants him a level of immunity, in addition to whatever he may or may not have already been granted by the District Attorney.

When reached at one of the numbers records show is billed in his brothers name, Jaime Estrada Sanchez, who uses the name Jaime Estrada on his carpet cleaning business website declined to comment to blinkoncrime.com and the number has since been disconnected.

 

Speaking on the condition of anonymity, a close family friend who has since been interviewed by the FBI, has confirmed that Terri Horman is pointing her finger directly at Sanchez. She has also stated that she and Sanchez had an altercation after she attempted to end their relationship in May which ended in a 911 call and a visit from Clackamas County Sheriff Office in the presence of Sanchez’s wife and children. While it did not result in any charges, Horman told the source that the landscaper was furious with her because he is not in the US legally. While blinkoncrime.com has not been able to verify the date of the alleged 911 call, we have been able to verify that Terri called her Mother immediately following the incident and told her that Kaine had found out about the landscaper she hired to do what she referred to as “her yardwork” and when she informed him that she could no longer use him because Kaine was making her fire him, he lunged at her with Kiara in her arms. Kaine Horman denies the couple ever hired the landscaper as well as any previous information as to his estranged wife’s possible dealings with Sanchez.

 

It should be noted that Mr. Sanchez has not been charged with any crime in this matter and local references to his business are highly complimentary. In fact, Jean Ann Van Krevelen a friend and “mentor” of Dede Spicher has used RS Landscape Maintenance on a few occasions, leaving positive reviews on the ServiceMaster listing which deleted his business from the site on 6/21/10.  Heather Walters, owner of Rosemont Farm,which is not West Wind Farm, where Dede Spicher was working the morning of June 4th and out of reach by phone from approximately 90 minutes, has never met Terri Horman or heard of their family prior to Kyron’s disappearance. When I asked her if she knew Rudy Sanchez or if she ever hired his firm to work at WWF, she replied “not that I recall, no, but we did have a blackberry clean up a few years ago so it is possible.”

 

Anselmo Sanchez-Sanchez

 

Anselmoor

 As reported on blinkoncrime.com, Anselmo was booked into the MCSO on July 8, 2010 on a hold from the US Marshall Service. He was held until August () and returned to Federal custody in Sheridan. While residence records and a private post to blinkoncrime.com indicate the Sanchez’s know each other, at a minimum, it is unknown if Anselmo has any direct connection to this case. What is known, is that Anselmo Sanchez a/k/a Freddy Atristad Sanchez has been in Federal Custody since March 4, 2010.

 

 Or has he?

 

 

Although records indicate that he was placed under post probation supervision by ICE on February 19, 2010, according to Mr. Sanchez-Sanchez Federal criminal docket after being “found in the US and apprehended” in  August 2009” following a previous deportation in 2003, he was “administratively arrested” on February 23, 2010. A Federal Grand Jury’s subsequent indictment was issued on March 4 and he was immediately incarcerated.

 

Mr. Sanchez-Sanchez rap sheet includes convictions for rape, failure to register as a sex offender and a host of probation and parole violations prior to his deportation.

 

In what can only be categorized as a bizarre coincidence, Oregon BOP VINE network shows that on June 26, 2010, they very day of the “sting” involving Rudy Sanchez, Anselmo was transferred and released to “community supervision”.  There is no record of either his transfer or his booking by MCSO July 8th on his docket. What is reflected on the record for June 21st, is the US Marshall Service requested a rescheduling of his plea hearing on July 1st   - July 12th directly with the presiding judge outside of his Federal appointed defense attorney.  Yep. Exparte.  Mr. Sanchez attorney Allison Clark used the 7/12/10 court date to file a motion to quit the case.  They have subsequently worked through their differences and were scheduled to appear yesterday, but a 4th continuance in the case was granted to reschedule for October 7, 2010. In that motion, Ms. Clark asserts that Mr. Sanchez has been in custody the entire time but that his records are difficult to retrieve so more time to prepare for trial is necessary.  I’ll say. 

 

 

 

 

Dede Spicher

 

Dede

Doppelganger. Organic Gardner. Jilted girlfriend and support network for Terri Horman.

Up until a few weeks ago, she was also very much the object of accusation by Desiree Young and Kaine Horman, as well as the investigators assigned to Kyron’s case. So much so, they released a flyer featuring the ginger ladies and the infamous white truck. LE has subsequently backed off of Spicher and publicly stated they do not believe it was her in the white truck in the lot of the Skyline School. Dede’s father is a semi-retired Klamath County Sheriff deputy. If it can be confirmed Spicher knew Kyron was missing on June 4th we have a very big problem.

 

Blinkoncrime.com is in receipt of a private post through a mutual friend of Dede’s in response to an article about Kyron’s disappearance from the school which was post on June 4th at 11:40PM

 

Spicher responded on June 5 at 7:44am: Holy Crap! I KNOW this boy!

Mutual Friend, June 5, 1:35PM: no way???!!! Really Dede?

Spicher: yes. My friend Terri is the step-mother mentioned in the article. It’s so shocking when something like this hits so close to home. < ?xml:namespace prefix ="" v />June 5 at 5:44pm

 

 

Michael Cook

MichaelCook

The source of both information for the contempt filing and hundreds of sexts exchanged between he and Terri Horman following Kaine Horman’s filing for divorce and leaving the marital residence as advised by MCSO, Michael Cook was a high school classmate of Kaine Horman.

 

Mr. Cook is also one smarmy dude if his former spouse Shannon has anything to say about it.

 

Oddly, blinkoncrime.com has learned from an inside source that Cook was not called before the grand jury to testify. In the instant action for contempt, Kaine Horman’s attorney Laura Rackner specifically references the “sexting” and the text regarding Houze’s fee as information provided by law enforcement. 

 

So, was he acting as an agent for le or is he himself under investigation?

 

Jason Wishert

Jasonwishert

William Jason Wishert is undoubtedly wishing he had not interjected himself in this case. Apparently new to the blogosphere via a request from Maxine Bernstein of the Oregonian, Mr. Wishert took to what he saw as his *nuveau*cause*celeb* status with moxy.

 

 

That was until he announced his appearance on the scaredmonkeys.net forum to answer questions about the case and cry the blues when he accused the Oregonian of using his rough notes to skewer Dede Spicher.  According to Wishert the “not a lot of kissing but plenty of telling” memo was not supposed to be published.  About 3 minutes into his introduction to his “sleuthing public” Wishert was asked why he spelled his name incorrectly and if he was indeed the son of convicted child porn possessor William Kent Wishart.  In a really bad move, Mr. Wishert denied the allegation and retreated with his tail somewhere on his person.

 

Kent Wishart, former CEO of Graphic Sciences, is in Federal Custody for the next 4 years for possession of child porn and engaging in a file sharing subscription for same. Jason’s brother Grant is an employee of GS.  All three Wishert’s hold numerous active and inactive business licenses throughout Oregon and Washington.  Graphic Sciences has a Mexican affiliate office.

 

Both Jason and his brother James Grant have had numerous legal entanglements (editor’s note: say it just like Chief Margie with the flat “a”) and our attempts to substantiate Jason’s claims about court appointed child advocacy certifications have yet to be confirmed.

 

However, with his Uncle John Kerr, Jason Wishert is heavily involved in the Friends of Pimpollo Charity which sponsors various children issues and an orphanage in Mexico.  FOP is a verified charity with a 50% tax deduction rate according to IRS Publication 78 in good standing, but they are years behind in their annual reporting.

 

Birthday Boy and America’s Frog Prince

 

Today, Kyron Horman’s eigth birthday, may not bring us any closer to where our frog prince is, but we do wish to extend our thoughts and prayers in celebration of his special day to his parents, friends and family. There are 2 celebrations for Kyron today. The picture below is an image of the birthday invitation chosen by his Mom, Desiree Young, and designed by scaredmonkeys poster Brandi.

    Blink,
    I listened to your last pod cast for the first time tonight.
    Re: Kyron, you mentioned there is a parallel federal investigation going on , with regards to drugs and or child porn ring!
    I have followed your statements both recent and in the beginning, but , one thing I have not heard you mention that is continually driving me crazy is this.
    Do you know or have an opinion as to whether RS and Assoc & BPumala
    know each other?

    Satori,
    I hear you! I have an 8 year old and a 5 year old in the school systems not out by you, but we have had our own issues over here on the east coast with child porn. It about broke my heart to put the youngest on the bus this year … if only we could put them in a bubble. We did the whole stranger danger talk with them this year.
    It broke my heart. I wanted a different childhood for them – a more nostalgic innocence, but with society the way it is . . . it just wasn’t so. I make sure to kiss them and hug them lots and let them know they are loved… I feel so helpless at times…
    Take care,

    Ok, Dave the groundskeeper. Though he is technically employed by Portland Park & Rec, he worked at the school, right? Is it unbelievable to believe he also may have had previous contact w/ RS as he too worked at the school? Just some thoughts.
    ************************************************************
    This guy has made my skin crawl since the first time I seen him on tv, regarding Kyron.
    I googled him and found that he has a website that i will link below, but what really bothered me is his latest and last post was Spring of 2010 and that he states he was planning a trip to mexico.

    Looks like me and Satori are thinkin’ along the same lines:

    Ok I have officially “tilted”….just like a pin-ball machine. I have thought about what Blink said: “I believe that the “looking at the cool electric ones” gives us a window to a perp.
    Who really believes the wife of a detective, and smart lady as well, that the thought behind Kyron being stashed by someone is not based on knowledge as to who they believe he left with?
    How would that even make sense?
    B
    B

    The only sense I can make of this is that DY must think that her son left with someone from LE. I googled “cool electric ones and police” and got this:

    http://www.coolest-gadgets.com/20100607/scarab/

    Here’s a little bit about what it says:
    Best of all, this vehicle is designed to be eco-friendly with zero-emissions. It is one hundred percent electric, and I’m guessing it will be charging while it is not pursuing the bad guys.
    Now, I have no idea how a Scarab is going to stop a vehicle. The designer, Carl Archambeault, didn’t see fit to put any weapons on it. Then again, do you want a robot vehicle holding weapons?
    What I can’t find out is if there is a prototype out there anywhere or if this thing is being used anywhere yet. I know from what I’ve read here that Oregon is a very eco-friendly place and a police tool like this sounds like something that LE there would be interested in.
    I am TOTALLY gonna MOO MOO MOO here! (I will also be pulling my hair out at the same time I MOO)

    Thoughts and prayers are with Kyron, his brothers and sister.

    “She was holding her in her arms at the Fred M when speaking to a witness, so that is all I can verify 100%. I do have some knowledge there is video of her with Kiara that day, but I heard it was Albertson’s.
    B”
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    “Heard?” Reliable source? I have asked over and over what ever happened to the Albertsons Beaverton-Hillsdale storyline from early on, and have come up short. Your mention of this is the first in a LONG time. Now, while I realize that this was in the news early on, SINCE THEN, nothing has been mentioned about the Albertsons (5415 SW Beaverton-Hillsdale Hwy)information, or why LE did in fact obtain surveillance footage from that particular store, located 17.4 miles from the school (30 min), and 12.4 miles from the Imbrie FM#1.

    What is up with this WAY out of the way place?

  7. Wordweaver says:

    To the parents at Skyline who attended the SF — what and where was the “cool electric one”? That’s when Kyron left his friend, correct? And went downstairs? Was there a place that was not a classroom that had projects as well? Do other children know about a “cool electric one”? Or did someone talk to Kyron, at the SF, prior to abducting him, about coming (where) to see the “cool electric one”?

    I vacillate between thinking RS and associates are connected to this and thinking it’s another perp we aren’t privy to. There is so much about the RS connection that makes the abduction explanable — revenge, leverage, ransom, orders from someone higher — and I honestly don’t think Terri had a clue about this happening nor would she endorse it. I think she got caught up in it, was hiding her own misdeeds, and is a narcissitic person who can seem “compassionate” but truly it is all about her. It might even surprise and upset her to learn others think this about her.

    On the other hand, the whole RS thing could be completely circumstantial and while someone connected to him could have done the crime (been brought into the situation) it doesn’t mean it’s at all related to the other things going on between Terri and RS. That still leaves begging the question, why is this investigation subordinate to another — that fits better with what we know about RS, drug cartels, immigration violations, etc.

    But, investigated as a ransom? I can see why LE wasn’t “alarmed” at first in terms of warning parents of a predator. It was clear to them this was an intended, one-off action. I do think those are Kyron’s glasses — how better to make sure he couldn’t identify things (and people) in the future if he can’t see? But why? A ransom situation is not a sexually motivated crime. Sexual predators seek gratification, not money.

    So…still some pieces that don’t fit in either scenario.

    On June 14th, I was attending a meeting. The conversation turned to Kyron. The rest of the people started staring at one person kind of anxiously. It turned out that they all knew that this person works for MCSD. Well, I sure wasn’t going to let this opportunity go by without asking for the inside scoop. This person was a bit reticent about saying too much, but did say the following:
    1. They did not think the SM “did it.”
    2. They had already gone through her car twice and it was clean.
    3. They found adult boot prints outside a door, very near to Kyron’s classroom.
    4. They were in the process of cataloging over 4000 pieces of potential evidence. Garbage bag after garbage bag of stuff that she said would take weeks to decipher.
    —————–
    A couple of weeks later we all meet again. By this time, the MFH plot has surfaced, restraining orders are in place, and TH is out of the house. Of course, all of us turn to this person with looks on our faces like, “WTF.” I think at least a couple people say something to the effect that, “it looks like it WAS the SM, Right?” Here’s where it gets weird: This person sort of shrugs their shoulders and says “yeah, I guess they (MCSD) were wrong.” And then completely clams up on us. We have met many times since then (not every time has the subject of Kyron come up), but when he has, this person turns to stone.

    I had always taken this person’s sudden change in behavior as them feeling “sheepish” for having told us inside intelligence that was clearly so poor or that this person wasn’t in the real loop at work.

    I am starting to get the sense that this person and all of LE was under a very tight Gag Order that maybe didn’t go into effect until the case started getting more complicated.

    So here is the question to you Blink (or to any Blinkster who might be in the know): Does LE have the power to shut down information being released in this case so tightly? Can they stop the Media from investigating on it’s own? Would the Media really comply? I find it hard to fathom, given our Journalistic community post-Watergate.

    Or is it just so quiet, because there really is no real credible information to tell? The silence is deafening!

    And on a different note, I know that our PPS school has made no drastic changes in security. We have been reminded to check in at the office, but there are no cameras and no one making sure that people comply when entering the building. Very frustrating.

    TY to TIA B for all you do!

    =====================

    I say:

    Blink certainly has a way with words. It gives someone like me a brain exercise that I appreciate. However, I then question my mental capacities! lol.

    However, this is my interpretation FOR TODAY –

    Who would really believe the wife of a detective? Perhaps LE. The “cool electric one” is MAYBE a city vehicle (patrol car, landscape?) as I described in a previous post. I think if corrupt LE were involved, then there is a possiblity that Rudy could be an accomplice. Crookeds DO talk. They DO find like minds, where ever they may be. Just like good people.

    So, is Desiree trying to appeal to someone like LE? Maybe now? Was she trying to NOT give a heads up to a perp prior and focus on TH as a ploy?

    Desiree certainly does strike me as a smart lady. Desiree is perhaps the “damsel in distess” seeking out some sort of simpathy within a mad-person, which would make sense for Kaine or Tony to be ABSENT.

    October 4, 2010 at 12:42 pm

    S said: I wonder what is actually more important today, finding Kyron so that his family can have some peace or building the perfect case against TH or are they equally as important?

    I could be completely off-base, but I maintain as I have stated here before that the answer is C: none of the above. That is not to say that finding Kyron and building an airtight case against TH are not important to LE – but I believe that there is something much bigger at play here and the choices you offer above, while important and vital to the well-being of so many people, are further down on the totem pole when you consider all of the agencies involved. Maybe I simply have an overactive imagination, but if there is some kind of ongoing uncover operation with major financial resources behind it involved, MCSO et al’s mission to find Ky/build prosecution will never trump the bigger players. That is JMO, obviously, from years of developing a (healthy?) sense of skepticism and reading into Blink’s comments throughout this case. I am open to being corrected, of course.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Good question S, perhaps the objective is, of course bring about resolution, but also to build a strong case against whomever is involved, not necessarily TH? I hope that justice for Kyron is the first priority, and that the parents’ need for closure is secondary (sorry if that sounds cruel).

    @JEN =Weird to imagine what could actually, “trump” Kyron, huh?, at least in the PDX area these days…but I believe it is possible. Scary. There are so many comments, snips, and theories out there as to what happened or could have happened; did anyone ever notice that many who ‘confidently’ comment as to who/what happened do so in terms that essentially, ‘cover all bases?” I.e. vague to the extent that the commenter could then go back and say, “I told you so all along!” Weird.

    @brainfreze

    Do I think the perp cares? Of course not. Not on an emotional level. But I do think he might care to know if any evidence has been left exposed. If he has access to the island (and is not in jail) the temptation would be great to return to the scene of a disposal and make sure nothing has been exposed.

    TH having a relationship with both Pulmala, and Sanchez. Complains to both about KH. She promises both “something” if they help her. Tanner is told what to say. Is blindsided by Pulmala and/or Sanchez, or maybe even their family members. They both have white trucks, hang out at both the school and Sauvies Island. This is one crazy case.

  16. Wordweaver says:

    In trying to make sense of all of this, and develop a “no holes” scenario, I would ask those who think Terri actively participated in the abduction (literally took Kyron, or worked with others on the scene to take Kyron) — what is her motive? I can see a motive from others — RS (revenge, money), RS associates (blackmail, leverage, threat) — and certainly a sexual predator, but nothing makes sense — no matter how narcissistic and screwed up you think Terri might be — nothing makes sense about her actively kidnapping Kyron. And the more involved you get in figuring out how that could have happened, especially with co-conspirators, the more complicated and impossible it seems.

    Now, a link to those connected to Terri? Sure. Which is why DY continues to plead with her to tell what she knows. Which she probably has, by this time. Or enough anyway — in her mind. Once the MFH (which I still think was bogus and probably an emotional outburst — “I wish you would just kill my bastard of a husband who has hurt me so much”)came to the fore (and I have to question, why did RS bring this up? Was he pressured and looking for a way out? Cut a deal with LE? Making it up to leverage his way out of trouble? Why wouldn’t he just keep his mouth shut? Lots of unanswered questions there…) I’m not surprised at all she lawyered up. She was blindsided and it was the last straw. She protected herself. If LE hadn’t messed up in this one, they might know a lot more than they do now. They would have done better to court her.

    Just throwing out questions to see if the pieces of the puzzle come together. And in the end…this isn’t about our prowess at arm chair detectiving — and I feel bad for my part in that, but we all are just so perplexed, disturbed and even violated by this event — it’s about this poor little boy and his devasted family. I hope none of this has happened in vain in terms of helping to cleanse the earth of the vermin who victimize others.

Something in it made me wonder if there wasn’t something (kinky? hinky?) going on in the marriage…that could explain some things, and what I read was,

    paraphrased; …information contained in the pleadings filed with the Court may be potentially embarrassing for the parties or the family members…….It is likely that if public access to this file is allowed,this information will be disseminated in the media…may be financially and emotionally damaging to the parties…’

    That was weird to read. made me wonder…

    Sorry Satori, I guess I do not have a ‘purpose’ to expose anything at all… mostly I just find that the changes in published stories are horribly confusing and annoying. PS. Some perspective employers have no tact and no respect these days. Shame on them, better you don’t work for them! You surely deserve better…

    Might “cool electric one” refer to an electric guitar or some other electric instrument.

    Thank you Blink for an engaging and challenging blog. Long time lurker, first post.

    Do they know we call them Blinkette, Blink Jr., and Mr. Blink? Do they also know why a lot of you time is taken up? They must be so proud of a Mommy who helps find missing/deceased loved ones! I know as a Mother you want to sheild them from the actual hurt and pain you must see and feel but it would be wonderful it they, or at least one of them, followed in you footsteps and continued the Blink on.

    Yes, they are aware of their “nics”, and they are aware “superficially” to the extent I use casework to teach them about the reality of such heinousness, age-appropriately of course. They laugh when I get calls when I say “I am not in a position to discuss that at the moment, let me get back to my office and call you.” They know that means detective or case sensitive info I don’t want them to hear. Needless to say they would much rather read any onion posts- my farticle, which was written with Blink Jr, is their all time fave. One of my fave stories is when Blinkette and I were at her Orthodontist appointment and the staff was talking about a case I was covering and she was like. .that is my Mom, she is blink, sitting right over there, lol..

    Blinkette shows significant interest in journalism, but I would not be surprised if she ends up being an educator.

    Blink Jr shows significant interest and talent in stand up comedy and acting recently, from wanting to be an architect since he was a tot. Sigh. We have time.

    I learn so much from them, it is difficult at this age when they begin establishing their independence and pull away from us. Teaching our children to function without us is our job, but I would give anything to keep them in my pocket.

    Mr. Blink has gone on a case or 2 with me, we discuss cases, and he is very proud, but I have to say I think he is most intrigued by the work I do on cases I cannot write about; he is not sharing me on those, if that makes sense.

    Blinks says, “I have said it from day 1, this case was investigated as a ransom. There is reason to believe he was abducted and still alive from a perp, of that I am certain. Staged, completely.”
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Blink, if LE, including the FBI, assumed this was a kidnapping/ransom scenario right out of the gate, why would they search the area around the school for days as if Kyron had simply wandered away? It seems to me that the perp would not choose to stay close to the school after Kyron was in his/her possession. Can anyone help me reconcile this?

    Blink, I noticed for the first time you used the word “staged” and I immediately thought of the ransom note that was left for Patsy Ramsey to find at the foot of her stairs. Why would someone stage Ky’s disappearance as a kidnapping? Because they had terrible plans for Ky and wanted to keep LE from running all over tarnation to look for this sweet boy and the perp? God, that thought makes me so sick and ANGRY.

    Maybe there was a ransom note, maybe not. I have always felt that LE may have stayed with the Hormans initially to keep a close eye on them. After all, at that time LE was in process of ruling out immediate family members as POI. I also think it is highly likely that LE found TMH’s behaviors and mannerisms a bit “off” or suspicious almost immediately. Maybe there were others that looked hinky as well. So, LE stayed with them, and watched the family’s interactions, carefully observed and took note of people who were coming in and out of the house, and towed and searched the truck, and so on. Although the family said the starter was messed up, I knew the minute I saw the truck towed that it would likely come back having been completely searched and with a covert GPS tracking device attached so LE could track the family’s movements. Perps have been known to go back the the initial dump site and move the body. Ugh.

    Prayers for Desiree, Kyron and ALL who love Kyron. Nite, Blinkettes.

    I can entirely believe KH being involved with someone. An open lifestyle can wreak havoc in a marriage. Although KH appears to be “discreet”, TH seems, shall we say respectfully, “less discreet”?
    —————————————————

    Hi lyla. Can you link to anything credible which states that Kaine and Terri were living an open lifestyle? This is new to me and I’m skeptical about it.
    ———————————–
    I appreciate you wanting credible information. We are working on theories here. Early on in this case there were postings from local blogs regarding lifestyle, and a local swingers club in Portland. I will dig for the information. It may very well not be relevant to this case nor is it fact, but it could certainly shed some light as to why someone wanted to hurt Kaine. The laundry will be hung out to dry in due time.

  28. NelMel says:

    Pondering the ongoing speculation I read on several sites about both the fundraising, and the reward money from Desiree’s recent plea.

    Is there any possibility this is all a round-a-about ransom collection? Is there a kidnapper out there tweaking the parents and demanding more money? Is LE trying to keep this looking like a search or another type of crime in order to appease the ransom demands?

    Suddenly Desiree begs for more money in the reward fund, and there’s some oddball statement that there’s not “a mechanism” in place to transfer funds from the search fund to the reward fund, and Desiree looks completely whiped out and distraught making this plea, and no one expected to hear it, and then a huge new search, and then an announcement that money has surged into the search fund?

    Is there someone out there watching the totals increase with very high interest that the totals reach the right amount?

  29. Falstaff says:

    I would not be the least bit surprised if the Oregonian and Willamette Week already have most of the Kyron story written. They could just be waiting to fill in a few holes here and there, and let the police finish their jobs. On the day after the arrest all kinds of stories will be out. I have heard that the media knows quite a bit and is holding back.

    To exapnd on my above post^^^

    We are back on Sauvie Island. Who has connections there? RS, TH, Pumala, unknown perp on the backburner?

    Was this a spontaneous location for perp? There has to be some familarity, yes? Who has constant access, a reason to be there on SI?

    All I can really connect to Sauvie Island is TH from her supposed pings, and Pumala (thanks B!).

    Can anyone else take a gander?
    *****

    I’m not sure if it’s ever been verified, but I heard that Kurtis’ brother, Avery Villerreal was at school that day, too. Is he a friend of Brian Pumula, too? Would Kyron be lured outside by Avery, or Brian, saying I’ve got a cool electric gadget in my truck. You want to come see it before school starts? Incapacitate him in some way once he’s out there, and spirit him away. Either send a ransom note or text one to Terri, all a part of the unified ploy that she is part and parcel to?

    I don’t know where I’m going with this, but with all the talk of Terri’s libido, maybe she was a “cougar” type to one of these younger men? Maybe she fancied herself with one of them and enticed one of them to play a little trick on Kyron and Kaine, or maybe even one more sinister than that. But I could see her using a young man that way…IF the stories of her sexting with the LS and MC are true, it seems she has it in her. :-(

    Now, the Villerreal’s live down the street (in the vicinity) from Jim Kelly who saw the white truck at 3:00 pm June 4th, and at around 2:00 am on Saturday morning. I believe the Pumula’s have a white truck, but the photo showed a camper attached. maybe they took it off? Some things do fit together if we dare to go there…

  31. S says:

    First, I’d like to say that if LE ordered the WW to stop investigating, that would be the next headline. I think LE would give the WW their due respect, while making a wide berth, whether they like them or not. WW is a people’s paper, they don’t align themselves with MSM nor do they worry about offending anyone at any time, nor are they afraid of the powers that be, whether it’s state or local governments or LE.

    One thing I’ve learned here is that whatever I think LE is doing, they are not and what I think they are not doing, they are. Good lesson for me.

    I keep pondering motive for a kidnapping. It could have been good old money, but was it? Was it for revenge? Was it to make a point? Was it really to get to Kaine?

    What was TH’s involvement? Did she help plan? Is her crime that she got a note telling her Kyron had been kidnapped and she thought, “Oh, right, another lame threat.” and went about her shopping business? Was she involved as a distributor for local grow operations or did she front money for harder illegal drugs? Was she involved in some swinging, swap and/or porn ring? Or was she just some dingbat who played around with lots (LOTS) of men and it caught up with her. We only know about Rudy and MC. We know Rudy has a temper and had a pretty good reason to be furious with her.

    Who was the designated hit man in the MFH? Why did Rudy think he would be getting something from TH, even when the hit obviously did not go down? Was he blackmailing her? Is that where the money Terri went through like water per Kaine went?

    And, the question which gets my gut daily, did NO ONE, not one single person see who Kyron left with, who he was outside the school with, what car he got into? How can that be?

    Tanner said Kyron told him he was going to see the “cool electric one.” Brian Pumala is an electrician. Was Tanner’s coached until he believed he saw Kyron and they conversed. It’s fairly easy to make a 7 year old believe any story.

  32. Whaazupwitchu says:

    OH boy – the clue about Tanner’s statement about the “cool electrical ones”? What could that mean? Brings up all kinds of people, I STILL think it could be RS who knew Kyron enough to entice him into the truck and had been around the school. He was the grabber, but then passed him on? There are also the groundskeeper (not feeling it), BP, who knew electrical stuff, Tyler’s family (who I believe had an electrical exhibit), janitor or science teacher or? I really don’t know. But my question as someone else brought up, is it possible that the taking of Kyron is not related specifically to the big ring(s) and that was just uncovered (more) as a result of this investigation?

    @Skyline parent and Neighbor – I have been wondering how people can send their kids there – this tells me they must feel more secure than we do about WHO took him, sorry LE’s word is not good enough as people say they usually say these things. ALso all this PR/investigation exposed the school even more, but thank heavens for the wonderful company who donated the cameras. Yes, I am concerned about the trauma on the kids, regardless of who took Kyron.

    Yes, it’s big, she didn’t contest her daughter’s visitation even, but if threatened, then her parents would be too. so just admit your guilt in whatever it is, TH.

    DY guessing someone has a heart or she knows something?

    Someone wanted to know about news people. I “met” Anita Kissee of KATU when she was on FB and she said she always gets 3 verifications so you could contact her through her webpage on FB or at KATU. She did say she also knew more than us before. There is also the guy who was on Nancy G from Willamette Week and the Oregon live writer Maxine B.who wrote about this case.

    Ha-ha – don’t you love it when kids start to understand the real world and now Blink’s kids are getting an inkling of who she is! Might influence their careers too! But do they understand they are Blinkettes?

  33. Jackie Bauer :) says:

    “I believe that the “looking at the cool electric ones” gives us a window to a perp.

    Hmmm. Then someone later mentioned “electric gadget” and I got a very clear picture of a stun gun.
    Could that have been used to subdue Kyron?

    Like everyone else here, I just want our tree frog expert found. My heart breaks for Desiree, Kaine and Tony, James and little Kiara. I think of them so many times a day, people I don’t know at all, but for whom I feel so much compassion and concern. I wish there were something I could do to help them.

    @brainfreze
    you wrote: “you really think “the perp” cares? He’s long gone or in jail somewhere.”

    I am connecting this remark to Blink’s earlier comment today about why Desiree may be holding onto hope that Ky is being stashed somewhere.

    “I have said it from day 1, this case was investigated as a ransom. There is reason to believe he was abducted and still alive from a perp, of that I am certain. Staged, completely.”

    That tells me something important: the perp is still at large. This has been a big question in my mind lately. Is this scary person locked up or still out there? I would think he must still be out there–otherwise, we wouldn’t have Desiree out there making her pleas. There would be no point.

    I’m also thinking of a couple of Blink’s earlier comments:

    “They absolutely have a suspect.”

    “I keep feeling like this guy is going to stick out like the guy in the bathroom-
    Gut only.
    B”

    “prologue: I can here him say.. O do you mean that Horman boy? The one with the glasses?
    I wanna puke.
    B”

    “Blink- do you think the guilty will be on trial (in jail) before the end of the year?
    No.
    B”

    All of this tells me that someone we (the public) don’t yet know about snatched Ky from school. He was probably affiliated with the school (as Blink has said repeatedly). In hindsight, to members of the Skyline community, it may seem totally obvious that he was a risk/dangerous guy.

    What I still don’t get is the link from RS & Associates to this Skyline-based perp. How did they know each other? Did RS put him up to snatching Ky? If so, how in the world would that conversation have gone down?

    “O do you mean that Horman boy? The one with the glasses?”

    (Shiver)

    How does that connect with RS, Terri, and the MFH plot? Don’t get it. (I’ve asked this before but no one seemed interested in exploring it. Maybe I’m just out in left field?)

    In any case, I do think it’s pretty clear that this guy is out there, at large, judging from Blink’s comments.

    This web poll is on KOIN website tonight. I was busy today so I’m not sure how long it’s been there. I can’t find a story that explains the situation. About 56% said no and about 44% said yes as of 10 PM. I’m not concerned about the question or the answers – I am wondering who provided this information and why – and why it isn’t explained on the website. I am emailing them to ask questions.

    Obviously, there could be many reasons for the door being open, and there might have been someone assigned to watch the area. They have cameras now – do those cameras link to someplace other than the school? Could someone have done this in an attempt to show they haven’t improved safety? Or as a prank? Are reporters watching the school since the searching has started again?

    SouthernMom Says:

    “Willamette Week still has no new stories on Kyron or the investigation. It’s been a long time since they’ve reported anything. I wonder why this is.”

    Because Willy Week doesn’t do “milk run” reporting (reporting of the day to day goings on of civic affairs). WW is a weekly advocacy newspaper known for investigative reporting. As Blink noted, the usual suspects have dried up, so unless there is something new out there (“new” is a critical part of the word “news”), WW won’t touch it.

    Kyron Horman has been ranked as one of the most over-covered stories of the past year. It’s prominent and it is interesting. But, when a story starts to churn in the realm of speculation du jour, to editors and reporters, it starts to look like yet another “cute missing white kid” story.

    Sorry to everyone here for using such crass terms, but that’s the flip side of the Kyron Horman story. As much as you and I may pray each night for Kyron to come home, there are some really rude people out there who try to put the story on par with “Where’s Waldo?” These are not people I would ever want in my home.

    JEN says: October 4, 2010 at 12:42 pm

    “S said: I wonder what is actually more important today, finding Kyron so that his family can have some peace or building the perfect case against TH or are they equally as important”

    Jenn says: “I could be completely off-base, but I maintain as I have stated here before that the answer is C: none of the above. That is not to say that finding Kyron and building an airtight case against TH are not important to LE – but I believe that there is something much bigger at play here and the choices you offer above, while important and vital to the well-being of so many people, are further down on the totem pole when you consider all of the agencies involved.”

    IMHO, the most important thing is to find Kyron.

    LE could have a confession, yet except for certain limited circumstances, Oregon statutes require additional evidence that a crime has been committed. (See ORS 136.425.)

    Note: For all you Law & Order fans, anything that is NOT direct evidence is circumstantial. So, unless you have a piece of credible evidence that proves the fact without requiring any inference (i.e. an eye witness) , what’s left is circumstantial evidence. (The “credible” part of “credible evidence,” means that the jury believes it to be true.)

    Although the state technically does not need to find Kyron to prosecute kidnapping, murder, custodial interference, or a whole host of other crimes, until someone finds Kyron — or finds proof of what became of Kyron — there will be reasonable doubt as the crime as charged, as there are a million other possibilities as to what happened to him.

    If you are of the mindset that Kyron is no longer with us and wondering why nobody has been charged, the problem at some point becomes that any belief that Kyron may be alive undermines such charges. The witness in chief for this theory is Kyron’s mom, who is absolutely convinced with every fiber in her body that her son is alive. Given her relationship with law enforcement (and her marriage to a detective), one could reasonably infer that she has good cause to believe that Kyron is alive today.

    I may be alone in my belief that Desiree knows far more than Kaine. I fully believe that LE is not fully briefing either of them, nor is LE telling both parents the same story. Desiree stands in a superior position to Kaine, as her husband would undoubtedly hear he latest scuttlebutt about the investigation, and that in turn, would get passed on to Desiree.

    IMHO, Desiree is the one person LE does not suspect of anything, nor is she a potential material witness to anyone plotting to commit the crime, nor would she have seen evidence of such a crime being contemplated.

    Kaine, on the other hand, may be a vital witness who unwittingly saw something as the crime was planned. Under those circumstances, LE had a greater duty to shield him from information that would taint his testimony.

    LE may be informing Kaine of certain facts in order to get him to “tone it down” (tone down the rhetoric) if there is another target in mind, or if the rhetoric is interfering with the investigation.

    Strictly MOO, MOO, MOO.

    Here is the email I sent KOIN –

    Web Poll:

    This web poll is on KOIN website tonight. I was busy today so I’m not sure how long it’s been there. I can’t find a story that explains the circumstances.

    I’m not so concerned about the question (not enough information) or the answers.

    I want to know who provided this information and why – and why it isn’t explained in a story on the website. How do we even know it’s true?

    Obviously, there could be many reasons for the door being open, and there might have been someone assigned to watch the area.

    They have cameras now – do those cameras link to someplace outside the school that is monitored?

    Could someone have left the door open in an attempt to show they have not improved safety? Or as a prank?

    Are reporters watching the building more closely since the searching started again – so this was observed by a reporter?

    If you included a story that I didn’t find, could you please send me a link. I appreciate your website and check it every morning and evening for the latest information.

    I would appreciate a response to my questions.

    Thank you.

    —————————
    NOTE: I realize the front door is supposed to be left unlocked, but the statement says “left open” so I assume something more than “unlocked”.

    The high school where I worked had quite a reputation – some of it fair and accurate, some not. I never knew “news” could be viewed and reported in so many ways until I read the frequent stories about us. Someone could have been a student for a month, gone for 5 years, and it would still show up in a report if the person got into trouble that he or she had gone to this high school. The staff and many amazing students stood together to get the media to make changes to how they reported. We were never told not to talk to reporters, but we cared about our school community and that’s what it took to keep the reporting fair. I’m not surprised that Skyline staff and parents haven’t talked to reporters.

    As far as I am concerned, Maxine Bernstein of the Oregonian is the most professional, accurate, thorough, talented reporter in town. I have known her work for over a decade. She has built strong relationships with LE and knows how to research and relate to people.

    You are very unlikely to get personal answers from her, however. She protects her work and sources, and when she writes, you can count on what she says more than anyone else I’ve read. Over a period of years, I have been in many task force meetings which she attended (as a reporter) regarding gangs and crime – if someone said something is off the record, you knew she would honor that. She was the only reporter to attend regularly and to develop a sense of the community’s struggle and the teamwork required, and to understand the huge need for more resources and the tireless efforts that were made to deal with gangs.

    I know this doesn’t help with the question of who to contact, but my point is that the reporters most willing to give away tidbits of information, may not be the most reliable. MOO

    I agree she has an excellent reputation, but I wish she had checked out Jason Wishert thoroughly before publishing his “notes” as he has alleged.

  40. Sally says:

    One of the comments by a Sauvie Island resident regarding the search this past weekend surprised me. She/He indicated that kids from SI rode the bus with Kyron. I had no idea there was any connection between SI and families from school except Tanner’s dad. The link has been posted multiple times already with the resident’s comment. I live here and had no idea kids from SI would attend Skyline.

    I thought about the “electric one” being the lawn mower as well after Blink mentioned “Circa 2007″ regarding the possible lawnmower in the photograph in the back of the white truck posted on BOC.

    People have asked which employees are no longer at Skyline. I scanned through the older posts but could not locate the post that delineated the employee changes for this school year. The custodian change was mentioned and names were listed.

    Time for sleep. Blessings to all of you!

  41. Riverpearl says:

    Just a little ‘segment’ on 11pm KOIN6 Newscast-
    “The GJ is meeting again in the Kyron Horman disappearance …”
    [Do you think they read Blink ?]
    “Four months since Kyron disappeared
    & we (KOIN) went and ck’d on Skyline School
    & as you can see the front door is wide open
    & remained open for over 2hrs …
    The principal & PPSD told us it was not a problem.”

    Was not able to catch any of the other stations.

    Remaining HOPEFUL for Kyron.

    Fwiw, I would be willing to bet their is a plain clothes detective stationed at the school.

  42. zeus says:

    So I’m curious. We have been led to believe that little Tanner’s report of June 4th was not important or accurate-but now we are thinking that the “cool electric one” is what lured Kyron to be abducted? Tanner has the ONLY accounting of that I have read or heard-so what parts of Tanners accounting should we believe? Just the “cool electric one” part, or more?

    Did anyone else at Skyline mention anything about a “cool electric one”, other than Tanner, and maybe I missed it? It just seems to me if we are willing to believe that part, then we have to be willing to pay more attention to other parts of Tanner’s story.

    I’m sure that quite a lot of what Tanner told the police has been kept under wraps and has been useful in the investigation.

  43. Andy says:

    Montana Mom: My mind has wandered this path too, could Elsy be helping RS with assistance from “the unknown person” who took Ky from the school? Or perhaps she didn’t need RS.Out of anger, revenge, greed? Maybe the promise of “big bucks” that didn’t happen? Then, throw in the confrontation and you’ve got one angry woman.I do hope she and her kids are ok and left for some other reason,but..I’ve started reading from the beginning.Whoever did this, everything went wrong from the start.I’m sorry, just the facts. Good nite our prayers are with you Kyron.

  44. enumclawrose says:

    My MOO…I spent some time on the Portland Public School Board website, doing some searches in the archives, looking for contracts, and I did not find anything related to RS, or landscaping in general. If he was hired as an employee, then I would not expect to find him there, he would be represented under a collective bargaining agreement, but if his company acquired a contract, then it should show up. Perhaps he was paid out of the Skyline budget and was not approved, or needed to be approved through the district.

    The 08-23-10 meeting book has the “Contracting Rule Rewrite.” Apparently in the works for awhile, but something tells me the recent events have expedited this revision. Everyone employed by the school is under some type of contract, but from what I read through, (and I have no idea what the old rules were), I think the district will be approving anyone on school property from here on out. I am not implying the school did anything wrong, I just think the district is no longer placing any responsibility on the individual schools to vett people.

    I guess the theory I am considering now is that a minimum of two people were involved. Someone at the school, either a parent or worker was helping RS or he was helping them. Yes, that person could be TH. Blink’s “staged” comment makes me think that those involved wanted LE to think it was a kidnapping/ransom, when in reality, it never was. Still trying to get my head around it all. MOO.

  45. fitz says:

    I’ve had a strange feeling about the “man chaperone and 2 girls” sighting with Kyron on the 4th. If RS is involved could he have still been in custody of his 2 girls and they attended the fair and made off with Kyron. Noone seemed to put much stock in the sighting but it was a witness from the fair, not terri, who saw them. If he arrived with his girls it would make him less of a threat to kyron and other parents would brush him off as a parent from the school. JMO.

  46. beejay says:

    @Montana Mom:
    You said, “If I were DY, I would let my mind believe Elsy was involved in some way, having some contact with little Kyron, being of some comfort to him in some small way.”
    _______________________

    Not so fast. Elsy apparently did not have custody of her own children; someone else did (grandparents???) I explored this a bit with Oregon State Police rep. I haven’t gotten access to DHS info. about Elsy and her kids. She might not be the warm loving mother you think.

    Regarding personal ads and such in the classifieds. A few years ago I had been faithfully reading the local newspaper. I noticed a particular ad regarding a lost dog. I thought it was weird that it was in the paper for weeks on end. There was something off about the description/name of the dog plus the reward amount. It just really caught my eye and got me to thinking about it.

    I contacted our local drug team and gave them the article. A week later there was a big drug bust and the ad never appeared in the paper again. Our County is made up of several small towns with the outlying areas. The drug bust was in the same community as the Ad reflected being from. The only mention was they had received a tip from someone, checked into it and were able to put it together. It brought down a very sizeable Meth lab and if my tip did that I was very thankful.

    I’m hoping that one of the people called in front of the GJ has something they know, like said before here. They just don’t know they know it.

    Blink thank you very much for letting me be a part of your forum. This whole story being so close to home is still right in the front of my mind. I check the news at work everyday hoping and praying this child is found.

    Hey Blink,
    I’m at work, just wondering where my post from last night went? It was still in moderation this mornin’.

    Thanks!

    Thoughts and prayers are with Kyron, his brothers and sister.

    “The Cool Electric One,” were these the words that TH used to lure Ky to the truck? It’s funny that no one noticed someone different around the school. Hm!
