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 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.

    MCSO still seems to think TH had a role in Kyron’s disappearance according to the first few lines of this article. I just want to know WHERE Kyron is!!!

    @TRuth. sounds like Skipper and Staton were cut from the same cloth. Skipper makes it clear that loyalty is paramount and supercedes complying with agency policies and State and Federal laws. And if you question mcso compliance you are demoted and your workload ceases. No wonder Yankee and Ritchie knew what was coming. Such retaliation was entrenched agency administration with Ott in charge of HR.

    Here in 2014, Elliott is referred to as “former Sheriff’s Office Captain.”

    This is what happened to the case under Staton. Interesting reading. I trust Riddell on behalf of Ritchie has read this, because there is an admission by Defendants under oath at oral argument certain acts are deemed retaliatory by law.
    http://or.findacase.com/research/wfrmDocViewer.aspx/xq/fac.20120622_0000401.DOR.htm/qx
    I stumbled in Burrows first amended complaint; this ruling calls for a second amended complaint.
    Elliott also says what it would take for him to settle would be back pay and PERS. I assume he got it and retired as a Caltn, because in 2014 he’s referred to by City Attorney as “former Captain.” City had to settle because City’s own attorney characterised acts that could be proven were retaliatory.
    —-
    It seems perfectly clear that if any mcso employee told the public the truth about the conduct of the Horman investigation and its status that employee woukd be deemed disloyal, demoted, and her workload removed

  4. Rose says:

    Stumbled ON Burrows’ 1st amended complaint means if you google for it, you’ll find it; but since the above url is the ruling on it, I didn’t think it worth reading.

    Interestingly in a later Clackamus LE tort, she associated with Gerry Spence and his son and settled. The family was
    conflicted about settling. Frankly, if litigated that one was worth a lot more than its $2 million settlement. In failing to audit all Depts, and train and supervise all deputies, Staton shows disregard for the public purse.

  5. Rose says:

    @TRuth. When I read that about axing the Chief of Staff position (to legally get rid of Kirk), I thought in fact he just renamed it Executive Asst (Ritchie’s job title). A real HR Dept Dir would have done a desk audit of the work tasks and load of each Admin position and re-classified them accordingly.

    @Blink. My bet is Lt Ned Walls in charge of Investigations.
    And where did all these Commanders spring from.
    Note how many Captains are under Corrections versus Captns
    in Enforcement. And Walls should def be a Captn imo. (But isn’t he one
    Staton would define as “not loyal”?

    Pity the Commissioners, ie Smith, are Single-Issue myopics.
    They should call for Admin desk audits by an outside LE consulting firm,
    and simultaneously appoint a small Comm subcommittee to hold wide-ranging hearings
    (Bailey could make political hay out of that).

    Gates- under enforcement.

    according to this Lindstrand is no longer the Public Info spokesman but is merely in charge of the Facilities Section for Corrections.

    apparently Lt Steve Alexander took over from her as spokesman at some piint. But she STILL gets to stay a Captain. I don’t suppose Corrections Facilities is pleasant. And she’d know Yankee, formerly over Corrections. Cagey move, not demoting to Lt.

    Don’t we all? I know, I do and I’ve now even heard TMH herself say she wants to know and he must be found. So where do we go next? Good question, no?

    We know whatever has been done in the past (almost six years now) hasn’t brought an answer. I push for some other avenue to be investigated. I don’t know what, because I don’t have 60 some binders worth of 4000+tips to look at, and obviously neither do DY & TY as they are asking for those same exact tips to be called in again to them personally. WTH? LE needs to release something to the more than patient parents and community members of Skyline in this regard, don’t you think? Further the case, somehow, FCOL!

  10. Rose says:

    The lesson of the Brett Elliott case is if your attorney is a one-person practice single mother, various good causes of action may be thrown out because the Statute of Limitations has expired, and your pleadings may have to be amended a couple times, and your attorney may be seduced by the City into “negotations” prematurely to the Sheriff’s advantage.

    The City attorney office seems skilled at offering back pay, retirement at their previous job level with PERS intact, attorney’s pay, and “a little sweetener” to make an employee Staton deems “disloyal” just go retire (Yankee, Elliott).
    The only person still employed is the one who went the State Labor Board route (Edwards). Come tothink of it, that Shea is a likely next to sue.

    The Commissioners have to get at that culture of internal “loyalty” to the Sheriff (and nobody talks) that has lasted theu Guisto, Skipper, Staton.

    It appears Supt Smith demands the same “loyalty” as the Sheriff, except externally from taxpaying pta members as well as internally. And gave her Admins similar $ motivators.

    Not to mention public safety. My $$ is on Staton stepping down soon. I can’t believe all this money being spent to fight all these lawsuits, which appear to me to stem from simple inadequate leadership. For Heaven’s sake, where are the taxpayers in that County? Same place all the Skyline community is? Are they all unaware of what is going on, or just plain apathetic? There is obviously little or no transparency up there whatsoever, and with the main media outlet happy to oblige, business just goes on as usual. Btw, Kudos to the WW folks for bringing about the mayoral debate, after the O backed out of it!

    I. Settlement Discussion

    Elliott seeks to add the following allegations from a conversation between counsel concerning settlement which occurred prior to and after the April 18, 2012 oral argument on this motion:

    At court on oral argument on the last round of motions, counsel for Multnomah County, Ms. Morf, advised Plaintiff counsel that the Sheriff just wanted Elliott to retire and “go away.”

    Staton has advised his lawyer who advised Plaintiff['s] counsel that he just wanted Elliott to retire and go away. . . .mistreatment by the various defendants in this action toward Elliot (sic) to force him to “retire and go away.

    http://or.findacase.com/research/wfrmDocViewer.aspx/xq/fac.20120622_0000401.DOR.htm/qx

    Staton’s way of handling problems? Looks like it, doesn’t it. Go away Elliot, go away Yankee, go away Ritchie, etc., etc.

    Costly taxpayer methodology.

    EUGENE, Ore. – A a man from Wales who traveled to Eugene to have sex with a 10-year-old girl he met online was sentenced to 50 years in prison Tuesday.

    (snip)

    The judge was required to impose at least a 25 year sentence under Oregon’s version of Jessica’s Law. The judge opted for 50 years, the maximum under the plea Hall agreed to in February. Hall also faces lifetime post-prison supervision.

    The defense argued that Hall thought the girl was 18.

    old post of mine:

    http://www.katu.com/news/local/Teen-convicted-in-UO-rape-indicted-in-stabbing-death-298336921.html

    This morning’s news. OT, but we talked about Nicole and her bodybuilding connections, etc. We also talked about which way the person might have gone and that no one saw him later on (he seemed to disappear quickly) – makes sense now we know he lived with his parents close to the apartment complex – he just ran home. That makes me wonder about Kyron’s case – did SZ just go home? Seems to me, the further away from the scene you go, the greater the chances you will have a witness even if they don’t know yet what they saw, or you will leave a clue somewhere along the way. Going a long distance, though, would broaden the search area and provide more distractions. Just my logic, not a scientific conclusion. :)

    new post:
    After his sentencing for the Eugene rape, Tinoco confessed to Laube’s killing, the report said. He told investigators, according to the report, that he used a kitchen knife from home then got rid of it.

    “As she was coming down the stairs, I went up the stairs,” Tinoco told police, according to the report. “I took a deep breath, and I stabbed her.”

    Police asked why, the report said, and Tinoco replied, “I don’t know. I just wanted to see what it felt like.”

    http://www.oregonlive.com/north-of-26/index.ssf/2016/02/teen_convicted_in_eugene_rape.html

    This answers one big question I remember I (and others) asked: Nicole was a bodybuilder – a very strong woman, so why didn’t she have a better chance at defending herself? The answer seems to be that she was a friendly person (according to family and friends), she was on a “helping mission” putting up flyers (which means she was carrying papers and tape or whatever), and he got close to her without suspicion by going up the stairs as she was coming down.

    Those confined spaces where a person lowers their guard a bit because it seems necessary, as designed by society, for someone else to be in your space bubble for a short time – those are very dangerous. We (except for MCSO) look at the crime scene afterward, but it seems just as helpful to imagine the features in the scene before the crime starts that could lead someone to feel there was a better opportunity and some advantage to doing it then and there.

    For example, we tell our kids not to go close to a car with a stranger in or around it – but how could you help someone carry something into the science fair without getting close to a car (or truck) and without getting within an arm’s length of the person who wants to hand you something to carry – and after all, you did have permission to do that. A “stranger danger” alarm is barely, if at all, internalized in a normal 7 year old.

    And suppose Kyron really was handed something to carry in, he could have been given any direction to go with it – to another door, to a shed, to another vehicle, etc., and by then, he would already be in “compliance mode.” (I doubt that’s a scientific term, but parents and child care workers know what I mean.)

    Rest in peace, Nicole, as someday I hope Kyron does when his abductor is found.

  20. A Texas Grandfather says:

    I am glad to learn that Terri Horman has left the State of Oregon. She will be able to live a more normal life in Sacramento. It was interesting to see the reason she left the job in Oregon. That decision shows the woman’s true character. She has been battered by the MCSO people and the courts. The judge that refused to allow the name change should be removed from the bench.

    The liberal crazies have taken over the government jobs in Oregon. There is no balance to their activities and they have used their positions to attack a citizen.

    Kaine Horman will pay a terrible price sometime in the future when Kiara learns about the truth of her mom and how she was treated. He will deserve every bit of what he gets.

    Thanks, Rose. Good article.
    When I retired, I got a cheap Timex wrist watch with a black band and printed on the face “Portland Public Schools Retiree”. Not even my name, years, thank you, or anything meaningful. It was as though my claim to fame in life was having worked for them. After I stopped laughing, I returned it to the Board from whence it came. :)

    It reminded me that when I was hired in Beaverton, Oregon, many years before that, all the new people attended an orientation and the first words we heard were: “This is a great district. You are all so fortunate to have been hired by us!” (I was speechless, but we were expected to applaud!)

    So Rose – all the best teachers and counselors and staff members I knew in both districts, and I suspect in many other districts, wouldn’t intentionally choose a career working for that kind of leadership attitude and ability in a regular business setting – it’s always been about the children – you just can’t give up on the kids. I suspect this parent/attorney has the same purpose in mind.

    In 2013, they were looking to ditch this place…

    The Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office — after decades of dealing with mold and other maintenance problems at its Hansen Building in outer Northeast Portland — is looking east for a new home for its law enforcement hub.
    A county committee has spent the last three years studying possible new sites and narrowed its focus to three top contenders, said Chief Deputy Jason Gates, who is on the site committee.

    http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2015/04/dozens_of_multnomah_county_dep.html

    In 2015…

    The plan is to move more than 80 deputies and support staff, who are currently working from the Hansen Building at Northeast Glisan Street and 122nd Avenue in Portland, to the Troutdale facility, Staton said. More than 65 others would remain at the Hansen Building, including detective units, Staton said.

    Staton’s bio, probably already linked here.

    In 1989, Sheriff Staton was hired by the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office. During his 20 years of service with MCSO he has served in leadership roles as a Lieutenant with the Training Unit for law enforcement, corrections and civilian staff; and managed the countywide exclusion process per Executive Order 122. In this role, he also coordinated certification and training with DPSST, procured offensive and defensive tools for the agency and established specialized training for staff in critical assignments.

    As a Sergeant he provided leadership on the HAZMAT/Drug Lab Response Team, on the Search and Rescue Team, on the Dive Rescue Team and as an Internal Affairs Investigator. He was also a Sergeant for the Law Enforcement Division and in Court Services, which provide security for the Downtown Courthouse, the Donald E. Long Juvenile Justice facility as well as security operations for 5 other facilities including Multnomah County Detention Center (MCDC) and Inverness Jail (MCIJ). His experience has included staff management, planning and research, budget development, statistical analysis, writing and administration of grant programs, monitoring and updating agency procedures as well as supervising River Patrol operations for both the Columbia and Willamette Rivers. He has supervised shift operations, provided contract services for the cities of Maywood Park and Wood Village and acted as a Community Liaison and Resource Officer for the cities of Springdale and Corbett. Staton was also the Sheriff’s Office representative to Commissioner Serena Cruz-Walsh’s’ Eastside Charter Team which focused on budget analysis and the restructuring of Eastside patrol coverage.

    This was going on when Staton started @ MCSO. Maybe added to his emotion over Kyron’s disappearance.

    MCSO Sheriff from Wiki. This site claims 1000 members (850 of them sworn), so 850 members are in corrections, leaving only 150 in enforcement, which seems like some came from Troutdale in 2015, so that force had to be less than 150 when Kyron went missing.

    As of 2009, however, as the unincorporated areas of the county have diminished, 85% of sheriff’s office employees work in corrections rather than law enforcement.[5]

    On July 1, 2015, the Sheriff’s Office began policing services for the city of Troutdale. In a 10 year agreement, the officers and civilian personnel of the Troutdale Police department were brought in as sworn deputies and employees of the Sheriff’s Office. The agreement was reported to save the City of Troutdale over $900,000 per year over a ten year period. The deal also included leasing of the Troutdale Police Community Center. The Law Enforcement patrol, property, and records divisions were also moved from the Hansen Building to this location in July, 2015.[6]

    The sheriff’s office oversees a budget of $118 million.[5]

    Checking out 1989. Oregonians probably already know this.

    John Edwin Bunnell (born May 25, 1944) is a former Sheriff of Multnomah County, Oregon. Bunnell is best known for presenting World’s Wildest Police Videos between 1998 and 2001. Spike TV has purchased a new season of World’s Wildest Police Videos and John Bunnell began hosting the new episodes starting May 7, 2012, on which he also serves as a co-executive producer.

    Bunnell was born in Pendleton, Oregon. He obtained a degree in social sciences before joining the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Department in January 1969. Bunnell managed the drugs and vice unit in the 1980s. He was appointed Sheriff of Multnomah County when the previous sheriff, Robert G. Skipper, retired in 1994 before the end of his term. Bunnell took the oath of office on November 30, 1994 and served until May 1995. In the spring of 1995, Bunnell ran against Dan Noelle for Multnomah County Sheriff. Bunnell lost the election to Noelle, who assumed office in June, 1995.[1]

    His son, Mark, is a corrections deputy with the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office and was first seen with his father on an episode of COPS as a teenager back in 1989.

    The Wayback Machine has chronology of MCSO sheriff’s office and as we know Staton came on when Pearce was going out and Skipper was coming in.

    Fred B. Pearce, who was appointed in 1989 by Gov. Neal Goldschmidt to run the state Corrections Division, was Sheriff of Multnomah County from 1982 until his resignation to take the state job. He was appointed to the Multnomah County position in 1982 but later elected when Multnomah County voters decided to amend the county Home Rule Charter to allow for an elected Sheriff.

    When he left Portland for Salem, Pearce was replaced by Robert G. Skipper, who was appointed to serve as Sheriff until he was elected in a special election in June 1989.

    Lindstrand’s career in 2014 was just being transferred around in Corrections. If there was ever a candidate for demotion from Captn….
    http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2014/07/david_joey_pedersen_case_multn.html

    At the time of the abduction, Lindstrand was “Sheriff’s Spokesman” and still a Lt.
    Imo her Captancy and career path thereafter were loyalty awards. (Corrections is key to upward movement. )

    noteworthy comments in the above url
    re Shults:
    “….who has worked closely with the Horman family…”
    “…he had asked family members to maintain their regular routines to stay healthy…”
    A++ and mcso “Loyalty” Award to Shults. New Acting possibility, Blink.

    ps maybe we should start evaluating mcso employee press statements for Loyalty Awards. or eval promotions & demotions for same.

    Lindstrand still a Lt & spokesman in 2013

    I think when Staton was told he would not walk or work again by the Dr and he decided yes he would it was a great
    Survival story but the stress of the sheriff job was just to much and he was having a relapse. IMO

    Good points all around. I’ve often thought whomever took Kyron, because there is no apparent trail or sightings, lives/ed very close to the school. But then, if he was shoved into the back of a van or one of those vehicles with tinted windows, who knows how far he could have been taken. Since we don’t know what it was that Kyron was asked to help get from a vehicle, (and maybe SZ wasn’t even specific and simply said *get some things*), I still wonder if whomever that was, could have been bringing in something for the talent show, as the science fair was already in full progress. If that were the case, then is it possible SZ & Kyron were alone for a time inside the auditorium, or whichever building the talent in which the talent show was to take place?

    I wonder if TMH knows anything about Kyron’s interaction with this person, or has any idea who it may have been? One would think all of Kyron’s parents would have been told about this encounter early on, even if it was dismissed at the time as mistaken identity (not Kyron, but a look-alike). Does anyone know if the space where the talent show was to take place was open and unoccupied during the science fair, or was it a space where science fair projects were also on display, or some other activity taking place, e.g., cafeteria?
    Odd we don’t know this by now.

    oops, in whichever building the talent show was to take place? Sorry for my duplication typo.

    Does anyone else think that this photo of Skipper looks a lot like Mystery Man?

  40. T. Ruth says:

    Although he does look like him, looking back Mystery Man looks younger. Makes me want to see a younger picture of Skipper.

  41. Rose says:

    many el eds have a gym (where the Sci Fair was) and
    a cafeteria with a stage.
    talent shows are often in the latter.

  42. Malty says:

    @ Truth
    I don’t think he would look much younger in 2010
    But that was quite a good post on all his problems getting certified. Talking about Shipper still

    FYI, the judge from Roseburg (Garrison) who denied her the right to change her name is retiring. So he’s removing himself. I don’t know about the second judge from Lane County.

  44. A Texas Grandfather says:

    Those combination cafeteria and auditorium facilities are referred to as a cafetorium in Texas. They are also used in middle schools.

    It is a cost cutting measure that mostly does not work. The acoustics are terrible due to the multiple hard surfaces and lack of consideration of sound in their design.

    thank you for this url

    It seems clear imo Skipper relied on special treatment wrt State policing regulations to return to work at his firmer agency. When that failed, he belatedly attempted fo certify, which he could not do even with specual personal State legislation. He failed, with one year to plan, to map out a successful recert venture of 4 months, the 16 weeks were probably easier to pass than the 2 week open book exam. This all suggests some kind of frontal lobe deterioration at age 70 affecting his judgment. But he did convey to his troops he wanted Loyalty. And a Lt apparently won the Loyalty Award.

    Should anyone wonder after reading many of our (true) posts, there are still many caring people here, including police officers.

    Portland Police officer buys sandwich for homeless pregnant woman

    Officer Jason Jones talks to pregnant woman who is homeless about proper nutrition and medical care for her baby. After hearing concerns from area businesses and residents in the Parkrose area, Officer Jones formed a pilot project that brings together City of Portland resources, the Parkrose Neighborhood Association, Parkrose Business Association Historic Parkrose and St. Matthews Episcopal Church to address issues surrounding the homeless camps. The coalition began holding ongoing listening and planning sessions of all involved. Recognizing the need for proper sanitation, the group coordinated garbage service and sharps containers at several homeless camps. An upcoming phase of the plan will be to hold a social services fair.
