Kyron Horman Missing Case: Terri Horman Breaks Her Silence In People Magazine Interview
New York, NY- For nearly five and a half years Terri Horman has refused to speak publicly about her step-sons case. Outside of one assertion of her innocence while on the stand in a name change hearing she ultimately was denied, Horman did not speak to any reporters or answer any of their questions regarding Kyron Hormans disappearance. Until Now.
Horman courtesy of People
Horman was interviewed by People Magazines Elaine Aradillas for both the print and online editions, and will be doing a series of personal interviews over the next week, to include wwww.blinkoncrime.com.
In the brief online video excerpt , the second part to air on ABC’s Good Morning America Friday morning, Horman maintains she is deaf in her left ear, a critical factor in the outcome of her first polygraph.
“… At what point are Kyron’s biological parents going to realize I don’t have the answers, they need to change this thing around…”
“…There is so much the public is not being told about this investigation, that’s why I am doing this- nobody is looking for Kyron…”
Horman’s interview drew sharp reactions from Kaine Horman and Desiree Young, Kyron’s parents.
“…Why is she silent for 5 1/2 years if she is innocent. I want her to tell me where Kyron is. If she is innocent she should call Multnomah County Sheriffs Office and sit down for an interview…”- Desiree Young
“Hi friends. Yes I am well aware of the tabloid journalism piece in the media today. FYI – there will be more of the same coming Friday
We have a HOST of MCSO and FBI investigators STILL standing by with interviews and polygraphs when someone actually wants to cooperate. FEEL FREE TO STOP BY THEY ARE WAITING!! STILL!! Until then we’ll stick with the scores of people with valid/accurate information and the failed polygraphs as the only actual actions taken to-date. To all of you: how about not linking the article/interview?
REMEMBER KYRON?!?!? This is what we need to be focused on!!
Love you Kyron!!” – Kaine Horman post on his Facebook Page
Christina Stoy, www.blinkoncrime.com Editor In Chief was able to confirm with Ms. Horman directly that she has been willing to meet with Kyron’s investigators both previously and in the future with the sole provision that it be conducted in the presence of her Attorney, Portland criminal defense lawyer Stephen Houze.
Horman went on to say that investigators with the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office have been well aware of “that” over the last five and a half years and they have never requested an interview. Um, What?
Horman reveals some shocking details about the subsequent polygraphs examinations referenced by Kaine Horman and Desiree Young and other allegations of improper tactics on behalf of MCSO in the second half of her interview to air tomorrow morning on abc’s GMA and on Nightline.

The problem with government employees and technology is management and unions. Management often does not understand technology at the level required and the union work rules get in the way. If management does not recognize how to use the technology, they are not going to push employees to put in the effort to learn and to offer them the time and training. Technology requires constant learning in order to stay up to date.
Systems analysis of work structures are lacking and often flawed.
Interest in technology in this country began with a few individuals of the generation born between 1910 and 1920. My generation followed with about thirty percent being interested and doing something about it. This resulted in the proliferation of small computers (mini-computers) and the development of solid state electronics. Like the pyramids, electronics must rest on the achievements of previous work to build a knowledge base.
Our school systems are failing the people at the k-12 level which translates into college students being unprepared to actually do work at that level without make-up classes.
We have college students with degrees that know less than an eighth grade student of one hundred years ago. Just watch the responses that Jessie Waters of Fox gets when he visits college campuses and asks questions.
can’t find the O story link easily; I give, but in the story I remember,
the O editor recounted staff assignments (numerical focus)
and “successes” wrt Malheur event. I wonder why
the O’sb County LE analysis is out there in Malheur,
with that Sheriff, and not at home.

I hope Ms. Thompson’s previous cold case work somehow helps solve Kyron’s case.

I think it’s kinda interesting from erose’s WW link that zero hours were spent by Rees/Woods on Kyron’s during the week of June 23 to 30, and Frinks hours went down as well. Wasn’t the sting on June 26?
Krohn’s hours are the only one’s that increased that period, from 8 hours to 88 hours and Thompson’s/Larson close to the same as prior period. Makes one wonder what exactly Krohn was working on after the sting doesn’t it?
I wish WW would publish the whole 2010 hours spent by all departments on Kyron’s case. It appears the link no longer works for the MCSO portion of Pitkin’s report. Is that information out there somewhere ,did the link ever work? I don’t remember. Clicking on “Cost his office” takes one to a 404 not found error.

re PPS’ law staff’s MO:
http://www.wweek.com/2016/02/21/plea-for-portland-public-schools-to-police-parents-on-social-media/
Is this true?
“In a meeting on Friday, PPS attorney Jollee Patterson said PPS is not policing anyone’s speech except for parent Kim Sordyl’s – because she uses words like incompetent, dishonest, unethical with regard to PPS officials.”
If Patterson goes down that path, she’s threatening parents with spurious suits on behalf of the Supt and others in order to silence critical speech.
WW Newbie Monahan needs to pick this up and run with it as a “meeting statement” akin to Staton’s exploited by Jacquiss’.
good thing Skyline parents didn’t get aggressive
re a 7 yo’s abduction from a classroom or maybe
Patterson would’ve been similarly exercised and named names
in public mtgs.

perhaps it is contributive.
Yep, got it and agree. I am not finding the MCSO agency manual I see quoted in some lawsuits, and in particular, not seeing who was grandfathered from a necessary 4 year degree outside of the new Troutdale force. Requiring a 4 year degree for a patrolman when many in your exec staff may not even have one is interesting. I want Lamb’s deputy report ( I think lol). Why do I get the feeling that is also with anyone other than Staton?

Terrific posts lately, everyone. Thank you. Your words ripple out from here to places you don’t get to see.

February 22, 2016 at 7:22 am
Thank you mbs. So a PPB detective can retire at 50 with 25 years?
And does DA investigator fit within the hours exception as a highly skilled job?
————————————
@Rose – Yes.
I don’t see a specific answer to your second question, but here are a few more related explanations: I don’t think the DA investigator fits as a highly skilled job (meaning hard to find other candidates).
Most exceptions are written for people who would work in a county with a population of 15,000 or 30,000 or 75,000 or less, for example. Another exception is for people who are filling in for a National Guard member on active duty, or for people who teach certain shop skills – but these have an expiration date.
I’m not sure if the investigators are appointed or go through a hiring process. My guess would be they are invited to take that position, but I’m not sure.
“If you are a Tier One or Tier Two retiree who is an elected or appointed official, your employment is NOT subject to the 1,040-hour limitation. Instead, your retirement benefits cease once you take office and will not be paid for your entire term of office. Once the term is over, you may re-apply for benefits. The benefits will be re-computed based on your age, account balance, and other calculation factors in effect at the time you re-retire. If you are an elected or appointed official who is a retired Tier One or Tier Two member, you may elect to become an active a Tier One or Tier Two member by giving the PERS Board written notice within 30 days after taking office. This election is irrevocable during the term of
office for which the election is made. Even if you do not make this election, your retirement benefits will still cease unless you qualify for the exception below.”
—————————-
So your benefits stop while you receive your salary, but when you retire for the second time, your benefits are computed again including your new information. This would probably benefit most people, especially if your salary went up at all after the first retirement.
There are certain “invisible pathways” that people seem to follow to get the most out of their retirement plans. Not only do the pathways have to be there (read “legal”), but the people and the process both have to be in place to get you into whatever nest step you want to take – compared to any others who want to do the same thing. Some school district staff would, for example, retire on the magic day (Feb. something, I think) and then be rehired as a sub to finish the year in your own job with the additional pay but stay within the work hour limit. I didn’t particularly think that was fair to taxpayers. I did not do that, but I did take on brief emergency assignments for pay in later years – such as going through cum files damaged by water leaks and preparing them for a company to restore off site. (I was certified to handle the confidential records.)
I know about the school district, but I’m sure there are other PERS jobs where the same sort of “opportunities” are found. I think I would mostly fault the legislature because they make the rules and should protect the public’s money.

Maybe the Malheur activity is a practice run to learn how to do a proper audit prior to doing the big one.
The same as a Broadway show often has a practice run at a theater out of town prior to the New York opening.

some investigators
https://www.linkedin.com/title/investigator-at-multnomah-county-district-attorney's-office
Occurs to me that the comment was made in 2016, so a lead investigator could have retired anywhere from 2010 – 2016, not sure why I assumed it would have been in that 1st year.
I recall a comment somewhere (unverified) about someone posting somewhere that their cousin or family member was just removed as the lead on the case?

The O editor bragged about the voluminous number of reporters he assigned and the hours they logged.
I doubt he’d do the same to any topic in Multnomah County, much less law enforcement organs in his County.
He does not perceive the Sheriff, the DA, and a public school young child abduction as a national story of interest. But it once was and could yet be.
Here kgw acts as the Sheriff’s spokesperson.
despite the rest of the story, no followup questions were asked of him.
http://www.kgw.com/mb/news/local/multnomah-county-sheriff-denies-retaliating-against-analyst/51300445
Where is her first report on the deputies?
Im pretty sure I read something from Alexander that it would be at least a week before Staton could respond. (presumably through him) I find it interesting what Staton will address personally and publicly.

Lt harry smith, who defended the Sheriff in the kgw story, who attended the Ritchie briefing, and who said to kgw the disproportional use of force report is not finished (6 months after Lamb did finish it) but is still research in process, is in charge of Internal Affairs now, but as recently as 2013 he was Manager of Training, noted toward the end of this press release:
http://katu.com/archive/citizen-of-the-year-named-public-safety-first-responders-honored-by-gateway-businesspeople
I thought Training was mcso’s achilles heel, so how did its manager promote to IA?
Sheriff Staton told koin:
“There was no push back from this office because I didn’t even know the report existed …”
http://koin.com/2016/02/22/sheriff-staton-use-of-force-assessment-incomplete/
His mother never read him the story of Pinocchio.
Koin might follow up by asking why his head of Internal Affairs told kgw he was in the meeting where Staton was briefed on and given the report by Ritchie, and why Lt Smith kept it for him and has sat on it ever since.
This guy. As I recall within the report Lamb stated the report was requested by the inspector. On the MCSO org chart that is Gossen.
His (Staton) stories don’t even match themselves. He was unaware of it but felt it was inaccurate and a fluid work in progress by a position he eliminated? Really bad idea to take on Lamb- she is Public Admin savant and the county darling.
B
Perfectly clear mcso’s Internal Affairs will never investigate Staton.
Staton is apparently on a media blitz. Here Jim Redden publishes the Sheriff’s side of the story:
http://portlandtribune.com/pt/9-news/294460-171410-embattled-multnomah-county-sheriff-defends-work-record
the “no questions asked” Portland school of journalism wrt law enfircement extends to stories other than the abduction.
Why didn’t he just respond to Jacquiss when he asked for comment?

ATG, I watched Watters tonight on the subject of Apple. I would not side with Apple (as I previously stated) on the subject of privacy but I would on the government’s demand that private business provide technology that the business has not already developed. Accessible information must be surrendered by search warrant. That Apple does not want to cooperate with our government is a sad state of affairs.
http://www.wweek.com/portland/article-1266-trib_reporter_jim_redden.html
Redden’s a former WW reporter. Seems to rely on law enforcement sources
for his big stories. Father a retired Fed District judge; brother a public defender.
Says he’s from Southern Oregon and fits in with rednecks.
p4, the Trib gives B Guisto a forum on Kyron
http://publications.pmgnews.com/epubs/portland-tribune-060613.pdf
I skimmed for Redden’s original Kyron stories in 2010. Used interviews with
Desiree. Staton probably sent him her way.
Sometime between mid 2013 and April 205, Lt Harry Smith was promoted from Manager of Training to in charge of Internal Affairs AND Inspections, reporting directly to Staton
http://www.mcso.us/profiles/pdf/org_chart.pdf
https://multco.us/file/14794/download
In reality he locks reports like Lamb’s in their secret underground bunker for elves to improve.
They don’t match, and I am missing one I intend to find because I am 100% positive I saw Lee Gossen listed as an inspector.
https://www.portlandoregon.gov/oni/article/41382
And interesting Bobby’s new Mrs. is in charge of training, which as I recall seemed to be a budget reduction item of some sort?
B
I have a vague impression in the summer of 2010 Redden relied on Desiree; Bernstein/O relied on Kaine; Pitkin kept after Terri; no one kept after the school; everyone relied on mcso, uncritically.
The Inspector was and is Smith, who buried the “unfinished” report because he did not like its conclusions.

@erose, Your bumped comment (originally from TRuth) called him lead detective, nit lead investigator. So I would think of someone retired from mcso before Det Relentless Aggressive got the cold case. O’Donnell’s not retired.
exactly; Jacquiss must have asked for comment on every piece.
Now one can infer Redden, koin, and kgw are considered by Staton as his media outlets.
It is ridiculous- it is bush-league to run around avoiding the outlet who breaks the story but its not really surprising considering Staton has no PR model. And btw- Who says a job is 24/7 and then says they worked 41 and 43 hours per week on average. I guess I can disclose he has never returned an email from me, lol.

7from katu.com this morning – our Attorney Houze at work in eastern Oregon.
I wonder why he took the case and what formerly undiagnosed mental health issue would make a difference in this sex abuse case?
(article)
A former Madras High School coach has pleaded guilty to sexual abuse for having a relationship with a 17-year-old boy on the track team.
The Bulletin reports that 45-year-old Melissa Bowerman of Fossil was sentenced to five years of probation Monday.
During probation, her internet usage will be restricted and she’s not allowed to contact males under age 18, except family members. A violation could land Bowerman in prison for up to 1 1/2 years.
She will also have to register as a sex offender.
Bowerman did not make a statement at the hearing. Her attorney, Stephen Houze, says therapy has been “very valuable” for Bowerman. He says she had a previously undiagnosed mental health condition.
———————————————–
OK. Forget the question I had about why Houze took the case. (read on if interested)
Oregonian in July of 2015 says:
(snipped)
A year ago Tuesday, Melissa Bowerman was arrested at her home in Fossil and lodged in the Jefferson County Jail on felony charges of second-degree sexual abuse, second-degree online sexual corruption, contributing to the sexual delinquency of a minor and attempting to lure a minor.
The basic facts of the case were sensational enough in a small central Oregon community (or in Portland, for that matter): Bowerman, 44, was the Madras High School head track coach and the alleged victim, then 17, was one of her athletes.
Melissa Bowerman But Bowerman’s last name pushed the case even higher into the headlines. Bowerman is married to Jon Bowerman, 77, the eldest of three sons of Nike co-founder Bill Bowerman.
Melissa Bowerman stayed 26 days in the jail in Madras, until August 15 last year, when Jon Bowerman finally deposited $5,000 for her bail. (He had originally said he had no plans to bail her out.)
Asked if a yearlong wait for a trial on a case such as Bowerman’s was normal, Jefferson County District Attorney Steven Leriche said Monday that the complexity of a case is usually the determining factor. And in this case, he said, Bowerman changed attorneys.
. . . Bowerman’s court-appointed attorney until March 3, when she was replaced by high-profile Portland defense attorney Stephen Houze. He is not a court-appointed lawyer.
In addition to the Jefferson County case, Bowerman also faces two separate charges of second-degree sexual abuse in Deschutes County, a case Leriche filed earlier this month. The case involves the same alleged victim in incidents that took place in the same time frame as the Jefferson County case, and it was not clear Monday why the additional charges had been filed. A hearing in the newer case is scheduled for Sept. 2 in the Deschutes County Courthouse in Bend.

former IA Mallory now heads a small homeless outreach team:

“There are more than 240 families who don’t have justice, who don’t have answers,” said Paul Weatheroy, the unit’s sergeant.
Since its inception in September 2004, the unit has largely focused on gang-related and sexual assault-related homicides, reviewing 50 of 273 unsolved homicides dating to 1976.
“Now, we’re opening the doors to look at everything,” Weatheroy said.
The unit has cleared 12 of the cold cases. Its work has led to the indictment of 21 people and 16 convictions in connection with the killings.
(snipped)
**************
Weatheroy has been working on the cold case squad since at least 2008. Is this squad still around?
http://www.portlandoregon.gov/police/35696
PPB Cold case unit has some 230 unsolved cold cases listed. Wow. Kyron’s case is not one of them, not surprising, as it’s being touted as an active case by MCSO. Also, I don’t know if they would even look at it, being as their is no evidence of a murder. Does the cold case team ever look at any other crimes besides unsolved murders? Probably not, with 200plus murders unsolved.
If one leads mcso Internal Affairs seriously, one apparently is sent to
rotate thru homeless camps on the street.
In 2011 Lt Smith was Acting Public Info Officer
https://www.kboo.fm/node/27785
In keeping and giving erroneous info about Lamb’s study to press, it looks like he still is.
Staton has essentially redefined Internal Affairs as a press/publicity problem.
Tiny
This story about the 6 or 8 year old child is pure foolishness. The school should have a nurse station where the child could be placed until the parents are in contact with the school.
If that happened to one of my children when they were little, someone would be looking to be in court for kidnapping.
If the Portland schools all exhibit such poor thinking and acting, it is little wonder that little Kyron was missing for most of the day without notification to the parents. The entire school administration needs to be forced to attend classes on proper thinking and behavior towards the students in their care.
It is such an egregious breach- in every way. If true- for the principal to be pushing back on the Mom is outrageous.

The court attempting to force Apple via an illegal order to build a way for the FBI to access any Apple phone is simply Fasicism. The government under our Constitution is not allowed to take such acts. If the people allow any division of government to overstep their bounds, then they place themselves at risk for destruction of the rule of law and its consequences.
http://www3.multco.us/budgetwebFY14Adopted/PDF/60005-ADOPTED.pdf
6/13 When the Internal Affairs and Inspections were reorganized as announced by Harry Smith, 6/13, see Significant Program Changes at bottom.
Internal Affairs and Inspections were combined from two positions (eliminating one–my money’s on Gossun) to create a new Lt position handling both ostensibly “Corrections Admin.” Now that was baloney because Internal Affairs handles Patrol and Enforcement deputues as well. These Commissioners, and that oft high Cogen, could not read Staton’s budgets to understand when Staton eliminated a position it was to rid himself of people like Gossun, Lamb, Yankee, and so on.
—–
And yes Blink Staton did ask for $200,000 at one point for Training saying it was unbudgeted.
In the verbiage about Troutdale absorption it mentioned the 4 yr degree is only
required for NEW mcso hires. All Troutdale was grandfathered as needed.
Correct, I noted that. However my interest lies in how that requirement has and is applied. It is unique at the patrol level.
