Kyron Horman Missing: Civil Suit Against Terri Horman DELAYED AND SEALED- Prompted By NEW LEADS
Portland, OR- As many of you have been following since June 2010, there is a new development today in the disappearance of Kyron Horman.
As predicted at BOC, the civil suit brought by Deisree Young, Kyron’s Mother, against Terri Horman, Kyron’s step-mother and the defacto suspect in his disappearance has been granted an abatement.
In a sealed filing, motions by Assistant District Attorney Michael Schrunk and Multnomah County Sheriff Dan Staton were granted, delaying the suit . The motions included supporting affidavits that continuing the action as already ruled would compromise the investigation.
The decision presents an ironic twist .
Terri Horman’s lawyers originally fought vehemently to abate the action, but were unsuccessful. As recently as last week, the Judge in the case ordered medical records to be accessible to both parties to the action.
In Judge Kantnor’s decision to NOT abate the suit at the request of Attorney Peter Bunch for Terri Horman, the Multnomah County Prosecutors Office declared “no position” on the matter after being contacted by the court.
It is not known if that order prompted the request to delay the suit .
Sheriff Stanton, Eldin Rosenthal, Norm Frink and Stephen Houze declined comment at press time.
On Monday, Judge Henry Kantor granted the motions to abate the civil proceeding and ordered the motions and affidavits filed by the district attorney and sheriff sealed.
A hearing had been scheduled for Dec. 14 to hear Young’s attorney argue before the court to compel testimony from DeDe Spicher, an alleged witness in the case. Today’s ruling is likely to render a postponement of that proceeding.
Sheriff Dan Staton, told Oregon Live, it is based on early leads that are now panning out:
“There are a couple of investigative pieces that are going to open up,” Staton told The Oregonian Tuesday. “Our belief is they’re going to open up several investigative doors.”
He said the new “investigative avenues” are based on information collected in the early phase of the investigation that are now yielding some results.

“the picture” Adams tweeted might’ve been provided by his domestic partner Zuckerman, Oregonian Court reporter, who “outed” Boy Scout pedophile coverups in his community, rather than provided by LE as I’d assumed.

Say, hey! Whaaaat?? Not being able to decipher B, I wonder about DY KNOWING exactly WHO saw Kyron.
Does this mean that DY agrees with B’s belief it was a SZ who took him, that she “knows exactly when and by whom” and if she does, why don’t others, including LE? The only thing I get from all of this is that B and DY know “exactly when and by whom” Kyron was taken; they just don’t have a name.
Oh, heck – we are probably reading too much into a spur-of-the-moment comment by DY.

“It is 8:45am on June 4th, 2013 and this moment marks 3 years since my Kyron was last seen by anyone that cares about him.”
This could mean DY has knowledge of someone else that last saw Kyron at 8:45 and no one that cares about Kyron saw him AFTER 8:45.
Makes me wonder about the timing of a SZ as well as the timing of departure by TH.
(Blink replied): DY knows exactly the last time Ky was seen, by whom, and it was not TH.

This is a clear (maybe Freudian) admission by DY that TH cares about Kyron, IMO. Respectfully, I wish she could examine what she said without bias.
~~~
I totally agree. I think DY would have moved heaven over to get Kyron back if she thought TMH was in any way dangerous to him, and would have fought KH to the death for her little boy. I think she felt that TMH really cared about Kyron. –and from all of those happy, smiling photos, I also think TMH loved him. –and put up with a LOT from an annoying, selfish, overbearing and bossy husband.
It’s possible that the reason Kyron is gone has more to do with KH than with TMH
@Rose
I believe it was Kaine’s connection with Intel that brought in FBI, just in case it was related to someone trying to put pressure on K through snatching Kyron. We have been given the impression that K was middle management, not that important, but I have heard talk that he was well known to higher ups as a very promising engineer. Intel definitely works on classified projects. (sounds like the level Snowden was!) We have no idea what K was working on at Intel. To me it’s the only plausible explanation for the extensive federal interest with all those agencies coming in at least briefly. we of course have no way to know if fbi or anybody else is still investigating. national security probably. public can’t be told. you know the drill.

Read up on Vera Katz a self-made woman after my own heart;
a coureagous piece of work. Shocking how white Supremacist
orgs took after her, imo due to being Jewish & hiring blacks.
A man surviving as her chief of staff (S Adams) for 11 yrs
could not possibly be a dipshit. So it would be great to know
who in LE (or the political community) did he talk about the investigation
with, dates, & what content? Over to Houze in criminal trial’s depos, I hope, to
get those answers.
————————————————-
You are so right in this one, Rose. I knew Vera Katz for probably 5 of the years she was mayor. I can’t think of another local mayor in the last 4 or 5 decades who could even be compared to her for passion, integrity, action, courage, focus, and creative solutions. She was highly respected and simply never gave up when there was a problem to be solved. She was also targeted by ugly, personally threatening graffiti. PPB officers took it personally too, and did not rest until they caught the guy.
I never understood the Adams thing. I am absolutely positive she would not have kept him on her staff if he had not been capable, smart and productive. I don’t see how he could suddenly become a poor mayor – he certainly knew the job. I think he may not have been as good at building trustworthy political alliances for himself as she was, and maybe not as good at rebounding from criticism. He didn’t just absentmindedly tweet, IMO.
I’ve read S Adams was big on PPS & K-12
education, protecting its budget as best as he could.
So maybe it was PPS involvement that caught his eye
that Friday nite. I’d see him as suggesting calling
the local new FBI Field Office head who got so involved.
Adams had been negotiating enough with the FBI who wanted
heightened terrorism cooperation. He probably just picked up
the phone. I don’t see Staton picking up the phone Fri nite.
Personally I don’t think it was anything to do with Kaine & his job.
The gofundme site is still up.
That tells me DY still believes TMH has information needed to bring Kyron home.
Regarding the 13 year old Gresham boy who was found in Montana with other family members:
1 – perhaps the police were slow to alert because he did appear to be a runaway, may have had help from other family members, and his mom said something to the effect that she was sorry if they had angered him
2 – perhaps they should have considered that if he was on his own at 13 with only a couple of local bus passes, he was at risk even if someone from another area was helping him
The above story has been mentioned previously and is OT, but it does make me wonder if there should be a better, standard response to any missing child – simply find the child using every approach possible. I don’t see that runaways are in some kind of less risky category. The thinking behind a child’s decision to run, plus their lack of resources and mature judgment certainly put them at great risk for manipulation, abduction, accidents, or whatever.
@mbs. that was one point of the mother whose 12 & 14 yos absconded.
@wpg. She will still have legal bills. A winding up of a suit incurs expenses.
However, remember this suit was imo contingent fee, and much billable time has been expended
w/o prospect of payment unless the suit goes to a verdict with a financial award. Therefore, imo
it would be the rare tort attorney who would not continue on to trial asap. Imo Rosenthal
agreed to abatement because he needs evidence from LE, just like Kaine. In any case she is
donating remainder if any and I believe her family’s vision is a foundation like Kaine’s. Didn’t her
father once express some sense of feeling left out from Kaine’s distribution planning. This is her sister’s ownership fund isn’t it.
@mbs. I think the info that Mom gave us was “runaway” has been decriminalized at the federal level therefore LE has no policing obligation to any child concluded by them to more likely than not be a runaway. Unless the Fed legislation is overturned & an adjudicatable crime reinstituted, LE does not search for runaways.
Long ago these kids were adjudicated as Persons in Need of Supervision. I saw these type cases while I sat in Court waiting for my own to be called. It was a means for Judicial placement into group homes & other residential setting & to get schooling & other resources from the gov’t to the wayward child…who on the streets was ripe for deugs, prostitution & crime. Public Defenders who were any good would have a plan & where to go lined up before the Court hearing & just present it to the Judge who’d so order.
Then somebody at the Federal level decided this whole system should be contracted out to voluntarism and points of light, LE played no more role (PINS was no longer a “crime”), and Portland among others got a child homeless & prostitution problem, which indirectly feeds pedophiles.
@Rose – (I meant to say in my post about the 13 year old that his sister said he told her he was going to run away.) In reference to your post about LE and runaways – I worked as a counselor at a non-profit agency called Harry’s Mother one year in the 1980′s. At that time, we only worked with runaways. Shelter was provided in a group home for 2 weeks to a month and we did crisis oriented family counseling to try to get a resolution and plan for the child (ages 12 – 17).
What was interesting then was that if a boy had been reported 3x as a runaway, he was then entered into the juvenile justice system as a “delinquent” in need of court supervision. For a girl, it was the very first runaway report. Police would pick them up and bring them to us (if room) with the agreement of the child to follow our rules, and then family permission. Sometimes a family would not work with us at all. Kids usually preferred our temporary shelter to detention.
When a law was passed that police could only hold them a couple of hours whether anyone came to get them or not, it got tougher to work with them. I was always so impressed with the kids – many of them had really difficult choices to make and were incredibly brave. While continuing on to work in a high school, it became my opinion that we do a very poor job of respecting and helping kids when problems first become apparent. We offer few resources for families and very little help for how to be an effective parent. We simply look at the end result of our negligence and put the blame there.
It is my personal opinion that a child who is 7 years old is not capable of understanding the full meaning of running away from home and should never be considered or called a “runaway” even if they claim that’s what they are doing. This is not to say a 7-year old can’t recognize when home is not a safe place to be.
Bottom line, I guess, is whatever it is that we need to do to help our kids, we don’t have it right yet. What I wonder is – who’s working on a better, potentially more successful approach?
So, refresh my memory, did any reporter ever ask the mayor why he tweeted that picture? Was the mayor trying to sway the investigation? Was the mayor pointing a finger at someone he actually knew? IDK.
Since you’re talking about the mayor’s tweet, I stumbled upon this and I hadn’t seen it before, apparently it was a Craigs list post by someone, about Kaine being a drug mule. 3rd post down on this cached page, the orginal page seems to be gone. I’d never seen this before, but I see it was once discussed on SM early on.

This is from the FBI website. He was last seen that morning AFTER attending….It does not say while attending. SF was from 8:00am to 10:00am
“Kyron Richard Horman has been missing from Skyline Elementary School in Portland, Oregon, since June 4, 2010. He was last seen that morning after attending a science fair at the school”
OK, so how much of this stuff is actually true and not the opinion of someone with an ax to grind? I know I didn’t just fall off the turnip truck, but there’s so much hoo-ha going around, it’s hard to know exactly what to believe.
The only connection I can see is if Kyron was taken as revenge (maybe with Elsie and the 2 children), but then it wouldn’t be a SZ who is the perp, and Blink is pretty sure it’s a SZ (I’m equating that with child molester).
Anyway, grain of salt???

Hoo Ha is a good word. If it walks like one.. don’t believe it. I have never seen such bunk by posters as I have in this case.

@TRuth, or anyone, Does the Craigslist reference to Norm Frinker possibly mean Norm Frink, chief deputy DA for Multnomah County?
Good grief, is there no end to this stuff?:
http://www.kgw.com/news/local/Sherwood-Teacher-Sex-Abuse-Allegations-211937191.html
HILLSBORO — A former Sherwood High School teacher was arrested Monday, accused of having sex with two boys at her home and the homes of the boys during school hours.
Denise Keesee, 38, is accused of six counts of second-degree sex abuse. She was booked into the Washington County jail Monday and held on $120,000 bond.
The alleged offenses date back to 2006, according to Washington County sheriff’s office detective Robert Rookhuyzen. She was married to the school’s Sherwood police liaison officer, who has not been charged with any crime, he said.
The case was investigated by the sheriff’s office to avoid any conflicts, he said.
“Very complicated,” was how he described the investigation of the math teacher who also coached soccer.
Rookhuyzen said Keesee targeted vulnerable students who knew her husband was the on-campus officer.
“Some of the students she worked with were in a program for at-risk youth,” Rookhuyzen said, “These were young people who had come from broken homes, not doing well in school. And she was able to become buddies with them.”

She sounds like a female Sandusky.

Sherwood High School Principal on administrative leave
http://www.oregonlive.com/sherwood/index.ssf/2013/03/sherwood_high_school_principal_1.html
04-08-13
A man who worked as principal of Sherwood High School a decade ago — but resigned after he was caught sexually abusing a 16-year-old boy –was sentenced Monday to two years in prison, this time for sexually preying on a 12-year-old boy.
Patton still faces federal charges for allegedly possessing child pornography, which police say they found on his computer.
Patton was principal of Sherwood High from summer 2000 to Jan. 1, 2003, when he resigned from his $95,000-a-year job. He was sentenced to six months in jail, a year in a halfway house and a lifetime of registering as a sex offender.

The Keesee’s are used to being in court, it seems. Adam Keesee is related to Denise (husband, brother?) If he is Sherwood PD, would that make him a resource officer for the HS, or are they different jobs entirely?
Cops, Shots And Shrooms
A new federal lawsuit targets police who killed a man on mushrooms.
The Washington County district attorney’s office in November 2006 cleared Sheriff’s Deputy Glenn Howard, Tualatin Police Officer John Jayne and Sherwood Police Officer Adam Keesee of wrongdoing. None of the three responded to WW’s requests by phone for comment.
That is her husband. He was dismissed as a defendant in a wrongful death suit in that case- He was employed there under 2 years when this happened.
