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.

    about the RSOs in “the area of the school.” why not within?
    Here’s a possibility worthy of a coverup at State & County levels.
    What if in the course of investigation it was discovered a staffer
    had immigrated to Oregon, been granted a State teaching license,
    without a criminal history (SO) in another State having been found
    on whatever criminal check the State & PPS uses. The uproar if that
    were to have occurred (comes in the “things we wish we didnt know”
    category).

  2. Rose says:

    “police bureau apparently did a background check and concluded that Marshman had no dependents, ”
    If the police bureau’s background checks on their employees are flawed, why not PPS?

    I seriously did not even have the verbal stamina to even comment on that quote or the choice of the word “dependent”.

    So does that mean they looked at his paystub? Smh.

    Rose

    Your question about an out of state RSO taking a job in the School district is a distinct possibility. Having observed what goes on in a school district from the inside for eight years, I found that many many times a dysfunctional teacher was often given a choice to resign and apply to another district. As long as they complied, they would not have a dismissal on their record. This included some that were on alcohol and drugs. Two that I know about were under suspicion for sexual assault.

    What I am saying here is that bad actors are given many chances to escape punishment in a school environment. This includes some who should be or even may be RSO’s.

    In this case, I have always been suspicious of the teacher who headed for New Mexico right after school was out. One of the things that all districts should be doing is to check any out of state applicant for outstanding warrants and for being on a RSO list. Do they? I doubt it.

    Evie

    Thanks for the link about the crash. When a state allows drugs of any type to be consumed by under age drivers, the results often are similar to this one. Oregon has been battling a drug problem for a quarter century or more.

    I really believe the mess we see in Kyron’s case is caused by the consumption of illegal steroids by some in LE and perhaps the judicial system. They were punishing Terri rather than finding the abductor of Kyron in order to cover their deeds.

  7. MockingbirdSings says:

    a couple of comments –
    Re Woods and the stepson case – it’s what I would expect her to conclude given the involvement of a member of LE, and an older child victim with “attitude”, and what charges she thought could be successful. Having been through the strangulation thing myself, I remember well when that was finally added to Oregon statutes – apparently too late for this case.

    Re the “disappearance” of photos – I have always taken my own additional photos and gotten a doctor’s report on file for anything that happened in my family, and advised others to do the same. It might not be enough for a court case, but I can think of lots of reasons for backup documentation. Also, officers who interviewed students in abuse investigations would say bruises show up more clearly a day or two later.

    Makes one wonder if any of that family ever got any counseling after the incident.

    Re Transit Police – It feels like we are thinking of that as a demotion of sorts. My experience with public safety in Milwaukie is (1) Tri-Met hires its own transit police and has it’s own K-9’s, (2) local police officers (1 at a time from Milwaukie, which is small) rotate through working as part of light rail law enforcement to learn the system, be prepared to help in an emergency and work closely with Tri-Met staff. TriMet pays the on-loan officer’s salary, and the city can pull that officer back to local duty if we become short-handed. It is part of the LE cooperative efforts in the Metro area.

    However, I cannot say Portland views it the same way, but just the coming and going of various people wouldn’t mean much to me without looking at how many times and how long the assignment.

    Good Advice MBS.

    @evie. thank you. One hopes Kitz ran straight to Houze.
    The question press did not ask is did Logan set out from his home or her home?
    Whoever supplied him, depending on his blood levels, is as guilty as a bartender
    woukd be. If my son were a rec mj user, he’d be spending the summer in inpatient
    detox. Kitz btw appointed the newish DA in a Dem leaning County, and no one ran against her.

    actually Kitz is worse than a bartender
    because he also gave a rec mj user the car keys and

    the impact of substance on the child’s judgement.

    @mbs. My mistake, traffic not transit div.
    http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2016/07/retired_assistant_chief_donna.html
    She viewed it as a demotion.
    Imo not for the rank but for the assignment (what a headache getting all those ticket issuers to the
    right traffic court on call to testify at the right time.)
    —-
    Here’s why. Before becoming acting chief, iirc her portfolio as Deputy included Investigations.
    Traffic is quite a difference.
    I suspect O’Dea and Underhill recommended her asActing to Hales just to dislodge her
    from Deputy over Investigations which would make room for a Marshman or
    DA Office favorite down the road. Underhill knew immediately imo it was over
    for O’Dea, and he’d never return to the job. Apparently, the 4 Deputies & O’Dea didn’t. My opinion
    is Underhill made the move to appoint Marshman and leaked the worst up front rather than a tricke out.
    Likely had grown to like him as the DOJ rep. It really was insulting for Marshman to say Traffic Captn was her best personnel fit.
    —–
    To get back to his alleged authoriarian bullying persona. He made these personnel assessments and decisions alone
    without consulting with a team, even his new group as a team, much less the former 4 person Command leadership whose investigation was not done and was likely to amount to nothing against them.

  14. A Texas Grandfather says:

    Base on the article referenced by Rose on the Sheriff’s office being converted to a homeless shelter, it appears that there may be an undercover movement to combine PPB and the County Sheriff’s functions.

    A move like this took place in Miami Florida about twenty-five years ago and they did combine the agencies.

    Some buildings are built in a manner that makes renovation relatively easy and others difficult. Sometimes renovation is so difficult to make it is totally impractical from a cost standpoint.

    Take a look at Charlottesville, Virginia where the police took over the whole county and left the sheriff with mostly ceremonial duties except for furnishing deputies for the courts.

    When liberal know nothings are in charge logic and reason are left lying in the ditch as they play their games with the peoples money.

  15. Rose says:

    @MBS. Btw there was a 30,000/yr pay cut or so from acting chief.
    and the other 3 chief deputies’ pay was being busted back to a
    Captn’s. You’d think Marshman would personally meet with and inform
    each of them rather than let them read of their demotions in the press.
    He leads like a person without line supvervisory skills, maybe why he
    wasDOJ liaison in the first place.

  16. Rose says:

    @ATG. wrt “….it appears that there may be an undercover movement to combine PPB and the County Sheriff’s functions.” And, heh, the PPB Cief position is now tre weak and rudderless. So count mcda in on the planning team.
    After all, mcso has not been value added to mcda under Staton, and has bern a financial thorn in the side of the Commissioners. I supposeReese sold himself to a Comish majority as budget conscious.

    Yes. and imo it’s a joint Kafoury-Reese agenda.
    which is why since Staton acceded to “requesting” Reese’s
    appointment, he was allowed qid pro quo to retire with County investigation suspended.
    And why she quid pro quo testified out of left firld stick with an elective Sheriff, as her man is in line.

    sorry for sloppy copying, atg.

  18. Rose says:

    @ATG wrt “When liberal know nothings are in charge logic and reason are left lying in the ditch as they play their games with the peoples money.”

    Respectfully, whether it’s Oregon or any one party State of
    either patriotic color, the issue is, as the Prez said today,
    Society is asking “police to man the barricades”
    in areas where there are
    “substandard schools
    inadequate jobs &
    lack of opportunity”.

    I took that to mean not the victims but the govt employees-/
    the less educated police forces with less able appicants
    with less accountability than in our own youth.

    In OR we’ve seen an opportunistic Gov who appears to enjoy his pot and
    his ladies, a County Chair who enjoys his pot and more and his affairs,
    a Mayor who has it on with underage boys, a former Gov same with minor girls and his coverup aide & Sheriff,
    ….themes are drugs and profligate sex and brutality (the PPB mavericks who got in trouble &
    their new Chief who excuses subhuman treatment of a stepkid and 4 chief deputies, and a grossly inequitable but overall subperforming public school system.

    Imo none of this is “liberal.”
    It is all provincial, uneducated, and amoral.

    He also said, “there’s no policy fix.”

    Imo there’s a leadership, accountability, training incremental attempt at improvement (not a fix either).

    As for police, he needs to double down on training, not on automatic military grades like Medford, but on lessor forms
    of intervention and greater assessment competencies.

    This alone….sucks. I think you just hit the nail on the head, Rose.
    Staton (and Reece/Kafoury) hand-picked their replacement, so there ya go. I’m not suggesting that Staton did not need to be replaced, but WTH is going on up there that everyone is able to haphazardly “appoint” someone to do a job that is an elected one? Geeze, when Reece retires (AGAIN!) which won’t be long IMHO, how much will his retirement be paying then? This is ludircous accounting and it needs to be stopped NOW.

    @Rose – I keep wondering why they have any employees at all. What’s the incentive to continue to be treated this way?

  22. Rose says:

    OffT. the Prez’ concern about police being asked “to man the barricades” in troubled settings was prescient.
    Imo a fruit of campaign rhetoric often inciting to physical violence (also the specialty of Young’s FB Soldier Associates).

    OnT. Imo it seems to me most likely Kyron was abducted by a professional–
    either a seasoned special ops type criminal, or the converse,
    an LE who knew their ways. I posted way long ago many orgs held
    residential classes for both govt, and nongovt contractors,
    for spec ops training in camps in OR’s forested terrain.

    to office. Interested in Woolf’s thoughts. It’s such a motivator, there
    must be more gravy, & more widespread, than most other State/County/City plans in other locales.

  27. T. Ruth says:

    O/T God bless the families of all the recent shooting victims. This is all so senseless and tragic. I swear our country is regressing. A combination of lack of respect for one another, accepted amoral behaviors, and the shrinking of the middle class are all factors in leading us into a backward and dismal state of affairs all over our country. So sad and heartbreaking.

  28. Houndog says:

    Hi all. I have spent the past several days catching up on this thread and I commend all of you for your thorough efforts in this case that have no doubt spurred things along. I have to ask this and I appoly if it has come up before:

    Is it possible that, assuming the abduction was a steroid disclosure retribution by LE itself, AND assuming there was a 2nd white truck on school grounds that day, that it was intended to appear as though Kaine himself was there that day? Then coincidentally TMH took the truck that day. Her offering of RSE as a source of danger made it quick and easy for a MFH plot to be birthed on the fly, which could explain the sloppiness. Wasn’t Kaine found to be deceptive on 2 poly questions? Was this part of their plan? Then when he realized what was going on he threatened to disclose. That might explain why it has been pondered on this site if Kaine himself is not in control of this case. Maybe he is.

    Just my 2 cents

    @TMH, I wish you nothing but the best :)

  29. Rose says:

    @Houndog wrt “2nd white truck on school grounds that day, that it was intended to appear as though Kaine himself was there that day?”
    Very smart thinking positing Kaine as target wrt to a preplanned dup truck.
    —-
    If MCSO did any disclosure, there were probably multiple white Fords there that day, not just Groundskeeper & Terri.
    It would be interesting to know how many.

    To be honest I don’t remember anyone here suggesting Kaine is “in control of this case.”
    The things he has been in control of are the FAPA, the divorce custody case in collusion with mcso, and kiara.
    Blink suggested if I read her right Kaine was at the mercy and direction of employee(s) of mcso due to his steroid transactions and malefactor associates. That is, he lost an independent voice advocating for his son due to alleged steroid activity. And Desiree has never gone there. Why be more preoccupied with sexual promiscuity than drug use?
    —–

  30. Rose says:

    When it comes to LE policies, I don’t recall mcso’s. …
    wrt
    1) collaborating with crime-scene present County residents in investigations. thoroughness.
    accuracy obligations wrt disclosures.
    2) disclosures & public info to County residents wrt inCounty crimes & investigations
    3) accurate disclosures to relatives of crime victims
    4) accurate public disclosures re assigned detectives
    5) collaborations with PPS where PPB has crime jurisdiction.
    and surely there are more LE policies relevant to the abduction.

  31. Nelmel says:

    In one interview a long time ago, KH stated that he expected the investigation could last “3-4 years,” or something like that.

    Which coincides, I believe, with the retirement of Staton this summer.

    So…..

    O/T

    I know exactly the area where the altercation took place. In 1967 I spent six months living at the Adolphus hotel and working in the Adolphus Tower and Mobil Oil’s Dallas headquarters building on Ackard and Commerce Streets five blocks N.East.

    Yes, you are correct about the explosive device use to stop the shooter. Those devices are military surplus that has been passed down to LE agencies. I do not agree with your solution for stopping the shooter. LE offered the shooter opportunities to surrender multiple times. He refused. He had already shot eleven or twelve people and the police had zero reason to not believe that he could choose to rush their position at any time perhaps wounding or killing some additional officers.

    Was the guy crazy or just angry or evil? Maybe a little of all three. There is no way to reason with such a person. Therefore, they used the best method they had to take him out.

  33. A Texas Grandfather says:

    I just completed reading Gary J. Byrne’s book Crisis of Character. A story of his time as a uniformed officer of the Secret Service during the George H. W. Bush administrations and the Clinton administrations.

    If one wants to have a better understanding of why we have major problems with government in all areas of our country, this book sheds light on the major problem as stated in its title.

    The founders knew that our country could not survive as they envisioned it unless the people were properly educated, given moral direction by the churches and exhibited public virtue, which would be shown in the general character of all the people.

  35. Houndog says:

    Blink said on 5/31/16. “At one point, she (DY) said Kyron saved her life. How so? Was she suicidal before she had Kyron?”

    My college roommate suffered from anorexia/bulimia. At the time, those close to her, including me, only knew that she ate very little, and that she was very underweight. Years later she confessed to taking 18 laxatives per day several times per week for a couple years in between the binging. Right before graduation she found out she was pregnant, and it was then that she gained control of her disorder, for fear of undernourishment of her unborn baby, and damage by laxatives. She fully credits her daughter for saving her life. Even though she struggled in the years after the birth to fight it off, she never fully exacerbated again. If she had stayed on that path, she has no doubt the damage to her body would have been irreversible or worse.

    I’m not suggesting that DY had an eating disorder, but it would be interesting to see pics of her from the time period leading up to her pregnancy with K and leading up to the Canada trip. It is not uncommon for an eating disorder to surface in women who go through a romantic breakup.

    @NelMel. It is interesting that’s how long the divirce/custody took, and likely Rack-gels prediction wrt his civil litigation.
    A prediction of how long they could string it out such that
    1) Kiara was barred from her mother
    2) KM was inducted and attached as new mommie
    3) he kept control of his principal & accruing interest or dividends
    4) he paid her later in cheaper $. Lotsa reasons to fight for those3-4 years

    But his comment indicates he and Rack-gel viewed his civil litigation with TH as Respondent as abolutely key to the investigation. That is the divorce/custody discovery and potential depositions were being wholly relied on by mcso/da as the primary if not only tool to open the perpetrator TH’s Pandora’s box of secrets. Rack-gel was really not in touch with reality imo to pursue solving a criminal case thru their own litigation skills, for example their client was the one with two major secrets Houze coukd introduce if he opted for litigation.

    Riddell follows up even after his client had settled.
    Would that he had a client (ie a bio) in the abduction.
    Soldier’s hope should be someday he ousts Underhill.

    You know a cost of Rackner just helping LE is parent Kaine had a puppet of mcso/da rather than a Riddell in his corner. Imo Shrunk/Frink coopted & used their oldie Rackner in part to prevent Kaine having competent counsel vis a vis mcso/da. Not that he cared imo. No one could be willfully that easily coopted by mcso/da & misdirected against their will.

  43. A Texas Grandfather says:

    Rose

    Thanks for the link to the “missed Story”. If one reads the statement made to the interviewer, it is plain that he did go beyond bounds regarding the settlement. If Riddell sent the letter to get it on the record regarding Staton’s statement, could it be a cause for overturning the settlement?

    Something is really wrong with the sheriff. He keeps putting his foot in his mouth regarding his activities.

    The photo of the car and Staton’s head out the window is hilarious. It is obviously photo shopped.

Why doesn’t Desiree pick up the phone, make an appointment with the Undersheriff, and present her own petition? The only reason for Soldier’s merry adventure is publicity, and this timing and place will get the wrong kind.

    @ATG. She got a nice settlement retirement incomewise. If Riddellhas what he claims, the DA could surely find criminal charges of some sort in the purchase transaction, if he were interested in cleaning up corruption. We’ve seen with Cogen (drugs on the job allegedly) and Smith (no bid contracts to friends allegedly) and O’Dea (not the shooting but the lies) Underhill is not a corruption crusader. So Riddell mentioned another civil action, defamation. Riddell probably deliberately didnt get the settlement sealed. Underhill didn’t need to refer anything about Staton to Ellen AG. If he wanted to, he could’ve acted on the car purchase, not the personnel stuff.

    How deliberate was it Wyden put in a US Attorney who had no training background or interest in rooting out State and local government corruption, followed by a bureaucrat? Federal DOJ/FBI in Oregon seems to be about drugs & sex trafficking while ignoring official corruption State, County, & City.

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

    I had been suggesting (though not clearly because I didn’t flesh out my thought very well) that KH was aware of how long it would be until Staton’s retirement. 3-4 years, he had said in that interview (which I can’t find now, in case anyone else saved it?). Has KH been aware of something all along concerning Staton’s leadership term that would definitely prevent solving this case? Would a steroid dealer/buyer know something about a top deputy and subsequently a sheriff that would slow the finding of his own son?

    Soldier figured out the right mcso address!
    having weathered a move the week
    before, doubtless deputies will be thrilled to see her and
    her reliable cohorts. Soldier would get more goodwill miileage
    with placards blessing police for jobs well done.

  49. Rose says:

    Soldier is irrelevant to the solution of the abduction imo.
    The relevant advocate to that investigation is Desiree, a great puzzle imo.

  50. Rose says:

    Yes, I remember that quote.
    It’s a great observation.
    I wonder if his remark was made before or after Staton’s 2014 election?
    It would be reasonable before 2014 to expect him to re-run and retire
    a year before his 2018 term ended in 2017 (the pattern) so the next smuck
    could be appointed. I can absolutely see someone, or an associate
    of the theoretical criminal, holding something over the head of Staton
    or a lead investigator to misdirect or stall this investigation. After all,
    look at what O’Dea tried to hide.
