Dr. Phil Show Hosts Missing Portland Child Kyron Horman’s Step Mom Terri Horman Over Two Episodes

I have been covering this case since Kyron Horman disappeared from Skyline School in June, 2010.    Like most missing persons cases I have covered in the past,  I am of the strong opinion that best efforts at the truth are the only way to propel investigations that, similarly to Kyron’s, have gone cold for one reason or another.   This approach has worked in resolving some of my previous cases.    I am proud of that.  I remain steadfast to the integrity involved in those and future cases.

Over the past 10 months (or so) I have been developing an updated series on Kyron’s case to include my multiple interviews with Kyron’s step-mom,  Terri Horman.   Needless to say as she was the subject of at least three simultaneous cases before an Oregon court and remains a person of interest by the agency investigating her sons disappearance, this has been an arduous and sometimes delicate journey.    Ms. Horman’s experiences during the ongoing investigation of the disappearance of Kyron Horman are critically important to propelling his case and with great hope- finding the truth about what happened to this cherubic and innocent child.    There are dozens of sources,  collateral interviews, forensic experts and legal analysts that also contribute to my series and have done so because of their belief that my motivation is to bring to light information and opinions in such a way that would almost “require” a focused review of Kyron’s case and the likely shaking of that proverbial tree everyone talks about.

Set to publish about 6-ish weeks ago I was asked to postpone the first installment of the series, which I did.  I subsequently learned Ms. Horman was participating in the Dr. Phil program after she completed taping.  Dr. Phils producers were well aware that Ms. Horman had interviewed with me extensively, and anticipated my series would be publishing information that was not known to the public previously in the days prior to her scheduled episode.    When Ms. Horman conveyed to me that she feels obligated to speak out about “her son” in any national medium that will have her,   I most certainly respected that.  I still do.

While Dr. Phil seems like a gregarious fellow for sure,   I have zero interest in being associated with his program, nor do I believe his shows content is designed to do any furtherance of investigation or truth.  There is much concern (although I have no affiliation to the show whatsoever) that the timing of the publication of my series on the Kyron Horman matter might be interpreted differently or inadvertently contribute to the programs content or audience reactions.     Not what I signed on for.   A missing 7 year old boy six years running is not a framework for entertaining a target audience.   He is not fodder for online social media bully campaigns- yet it occurs.

I will be publishing my series on Kyron’s case at a later date, in it’s entirety with no editing adjustments as a result of any of the appearances on Dr. Phil.   I appreciate your patience and your understanding.   Feel free to discuss the show below.

    We all are struggling to find a cause for Kyron’s abduction. Behaviors of his parents are in my opinion a prime reason. However, there is not much evidence we have as to how those behaviors could be tied to the actual deed.

    Predators take many trails to get what they want. What could be the true motive for the abduction? I believe it is revenge regarding a parental act relating to illegal drugs. I have zero proof of the truth of that belief. This case is going to be difficult to solve and may only accidentally be solved when the predator is tied to a solvable crime sometime in the future.

    May each of you have a good “Remembrance Day” weekend.

    DNA links man to 1979 cold-case murder: police

    A Texas man has been indicted in the cold-case killing of a newlywed who was found dead in her bed after being sexually assaulted and strangled.

    Michael Anthony Galvan, 64, of Austin, faces one count each of capital murder and murder after new DNA evidence linked him to the 1979 death of Debra Sue Reiding, the Austin American-Statesman reports, citing Travis County District Attorney Margaret Moore.

    Galvan initially was considered a suspect in Reiding’s death, but there wasn’t sufficient evidence to charge him in the brutal south Austin killing. Police told the newspaper that Galvan had kept living and working in Austin since that time.

    About those time stamped locations of Terri. I thought Desiree’s beliefs stated to the public were Terri walked him out the school door (as she faithfully recounts above) and then handed him off to DeDe who disposed of him. My opinion is if what you say is true Blink (depos that he left w/a man out Mathews’ door) Desiree is a lunatic or egosyntonic liar.

    Well, you noticed she has never said another word about Dede. On that I am 1000% certain she has been told by LE, DA and attorneys that Spcicher was eliminated of any knowledge or involvement via her grand jury testimony and required polygraph.

    I have every reason to believe MCSO is still beating the Terri drum- if for no other reason but to keep the bios from filing complaints about the investigation or worse- requesting the FBI take jurisdiction or review.

  5. A Texas Grandfather says:

    The understanding and processing of DNA for forensics continues to evolve. Now with the addition of finding family markers,some old cold cases are being solved.

    The family connections could probably be improved if the U.S. census records were not locked away from the public for the period of seventy years. In the 2020 census, the public will finally be able to access the 1950 census. Perhaps in special cases, LE could be allowed to access these important records in order to solve cases.

    The case cited by T.Ruth took place prior to the time DNA could be used in a court for positive identification of a person.

    After watching Young’s interview tape, it seems to me she is in a very bad place and if Tony truly wished to help her he’d arrange Qualitative inpatient treatment for as long as stabilizing her takes, followed by twice weekly outpatient therapy of quality (capable psychiatrist). For her sake. My opinion.

  7. Rose says:

    You know, Reese’ wife is a retired PPS high school guidance counselor.
    MockingbirdSings was a retired high school guidance counselor who was knowledgeable expressing respect for some PPB employees, the Weatheroys, one of whom iirc formerly a school resource officer is now the DA’s Chief Investigator. So my guess is MBS sings knows wife Reese from their prof duty era. if MBS still reads here, this is a plea from an average distant joe blow that she might consider asking Wife Reese to query him as to what his plans are for case management and why its not been transferred to FBI, and most of all why her Sheriff husband keeps letting Desiree spout off that Terri walked out the door with Kyron without making public correction. Because misleading info about “the stepmom did it” really hurts public cooperation and public tips. MBS was a very impressive contributor. I would value hearing from her again as to what she thinks is going on with the Reese Approach to Case Management.

    Me too.

    I will say I have asked that question re DY public statements from sources aware of them, and in contact with her. A unanimous “Desiree is Desiree” was the response. They cannot control her narrative and the reason she was admonished and warned re Spicher was because they had expressly told her the truth and so that would and could the basis of any defamation on her part. In other words, she could not hide behind the defense of thats what LE told her- because it was a lie. I guess one can infer from that if DY wants to espouse her theory as an opinion and MCSO has only the incentive to keep her inline- is what it is.

    MCSO has 2 bio parents who openly and publicly state they are supportive of an 8 year old investigation of a missing 7 year old that has not recovered him live or dead, nor has it so much as filed a charge against anyone after 2 failed and dismissed grand juries (over simply stated as to the investigative activity leveled at nobody but TH) in the same matter.

    Why in the Hell would they piss them off?

    Desiree leaves “saying another word about DeDe”

    Who says plenty.

    Green is entirely on her own on that issue. I think it was made plain (at least this is how it was explained to me) that with all those stalk and chalks, sit ons, petitions and the like, not a single individual that was the intended “target” of such activities took it seriously and it did zero to progress the case. To be honest, in TH misdy trial it is my strong belief that the court (after reviewing) actually used some of that social media “record” to believe Terri was being persecuted (and in this case prosecuted) “because of who she was” and not the instant issue.

  11. Rose says:

    I gather what you are saying Blink is why the hell would the Sheriff & his employees piss the 2 bios off by investigating, much less filing charges against, anyone but Terri, or what’s even worse correcting Desiree’s blatantly untruthful statements about Kyron’s departure with her, having the effect of eliminating public cooperation & tips as to the abducting male from Mathew’s room, as long as the bios are publically supportive, even fawningly, of mcso personnel and their past & present work?
    Well, raising my hand! The public expects (& is owed) from the Sheriff, DA, and agency personnel:
    1) Professionalism in the course of duty, including this investigation to include self-study and correction as
    well as public disclosure when unprofessional investigatory techniques were employed.
    2) Truthful public communication, to include public correction of untruths. Apart from the bios, MCSO/DA said plenty dirrcting the public to Terri and only Terri for the girst couple years.
    3) Then there’s integrity and ethics. Good Sheriffs & DAs have them. The other sort? American LE has plenty of the other sort, too. And that’s kind of Multnomah & Oregon’s history.
    ——-
    Ethics? I am devoted to the Tweeter feeds of Walt Shaub and Preet Bharara.
    They are govt civil servants indeed. Reese & ADA Rees need to get themselves some professional LE role models with integrity and ethics, Maybe Chief Outlaw is one. I can’t say the former OR FBI field office dirrctor has much to offer, nor the OR US attorneys’ office. I’ve also heard Clapper & Comey at major book tour interviews. Right now imo Underhill is not fit to shine their shoes.
    ——

    I agree with everything you are saying- and I would point out that MOST LEA would likely operate differently- most especially 8 years in. I know that part of the issue is that there is dissent within the agency past and present, and with outside agencies who were involved at one time. As long as DY and Kaine stay inline, and Kyron remains missing this is going to be the case.

    So what time was the infamous picture of Kyron in front of his tree frog project taken. I read that Zimmerman saw Terri take the picture. Would that have been at 8:15AM when she arrived. Where did DY get the idea the picture was taken at 8:44AM. Does anyone know what the recorded timestamp on the picture was.
    Around 8:15- Zimmerman
    or 8:44 according to DY

    -snip
    8:15 AM Gina Zimmerman, president of the school PTA, arrives and sees Kyron with his stepmother in front of his exhibit.

    “He was seen in in throughout the school along with Terry (Kyron’s step-mom) and Kiara (Kyron’s step-sister) and a lot of eyewitnesses place him in the key classrooms, looking at the exhibits. Then we know that at approximately 8:44 in the morning he was posing in front of that picture that we all know, in front of his exhibit. We know that Terry was in the school when she took that picture, then from that point we have eyewitness accounts that place him leaving the school with Terry right out the side exit,” said Young.

    ———————————

    The reason I am asking this is ……
    According to DY how could Terri see Kyron walking to his classroom at 8:45AM if she had been in his classroom with him at 8:44AM(taking his picture). Also if she took his picture in front of the tree frog project at 8:44 she would have had to leave the school pretty quickly to make it to Fred Meyer by 9:12AM when she got the receipt. This is why DY says she thinks Terri walked out with Kyron immediately after taking the tree frog picture.

    “I have a receipt showing I was checking out at Fred Meyer 7 miles away at 9:12am.

    It looks like DY has once again rewritten history to match her beliefs about Terri Anyone remember what the timestamp on said picture was.

    —————–
    looks like Terri could have left the school as late as 8:55AM maybe 9:00AM. But considering tame taken to get in the truck with K and traffic signals stop signs on the way to FM. and to already been checking out at FM 9:12AM she probably would have had to leave the schoolboy at least 8:45AM.

    OR
    Maybe she actually averaged 40mph.

    Honestly, sometimes I wonder if it isn’t or (wasn’t initially) the goal to impact witnesses that corroborate TH’s timeline by stating known misinformation. It’s futile, the only thing DY’s theory (or worse) has going for it is the fact that apparently no member of the media whatsoever is going to ask her if anyone in LE or the DA’s office is willing to corroborate her assertion.

    Or say, if thats true- than why did you drop your civil suit?

    There is irrefutable evidence that Terri Horman did not leave with Kyron, not only wrt the school and deposed witnesses where it is actually in a deposition transcript, but it is also physically impossible for her for her to be at the school at the time Kyron was actually last seen, and she is on camera parking her truck, with a clear view to the occupants, and the walk into Fred Meyers- ALL RECORDED. Why is anyone taking the disappearance of this little guy at face value in the first place?

    Lastly- the FBI is on record as well- they could not confirm a crime was actually committed with the information they were given from MCSO.

    Glad you mentioned those collaborative agencies. The closest collaborators, whom Reese worked wit previously & must now are MCDA & PPB. Nor would ge humiliate the biggest name family of employees he worked with at PPB. MBS’ positive comments, several times over several years, re said family fixed them in my memory.

    Paul Weatheroy who did homicide & cold cases is Underhill’s Chief Investigator. they are close due to years of working cases. No way Underhill-Rees will cross Weatheroy. In fact he was likely the one who pushed GJ2 on Rees.

    One expects the year before George was a School Resource Officer responsible with his colleagues in YD for student safety at school. Maybe he was even assigned to Lincoln Cluster which included Skyline.

    imo this case will also go nowhere until PPB retiree Paul Weatheroy is no longer employed as Chief Investigator for MCDA and until PPB retiree now on the gravy train with PPS George W is no longer head of PPS School Security.

  14. Rose says:

    Lincoln School Resource Officers do talk to classrooms of eleds as time permits. I wonder who was the Officer for Lincoln Cluster in 2010? Just one more authotitative-looking male likely unknown by sight to those in Mathews’ room to rule out, IF there was an unbiased investigation going on.

    The only prerequisite to become a child advocate is possessing an identification with the concept of love. Wanting to help children live safe, healthy, happy and thriving lives originates from love. Researching and investigating the many types of child advocacy opportunities that exist today is the second part in your path to become a child advocate.

    Established trust with the community is precious and can not be insured against loss. The only insurance is being careful, selective and doing a due-diligence background check on candidates wanting to serve as child advocates. Typical background screening often includes a law enforcement data system check, checking and following up with references and even reference interviews as they reveal information relevant to understanding if your “ready to roll ” as an appropriate fit within their organization. Even with these protocols in place, they still take a chance with a “bad apple” getting through and “salting their well” with a scandal.

    Nick tirelessly volunteered for his church, his community, and his children’s endeavors. He served as an Assistant Scout Master with troop 581, and gave countless hours to the Forest Grove FFA, and various groups throughout the Banks community. Nick built and hung all the Banks Christmas decorations for decades, he wired the football fields, welded the soccer goals, built the Sunset Park baseball barn, and made the Banks BBQ truck tug a war rope out of bailing twine in his yard which has never snapped in a dozen years. Nick was a board member of the Banks Baseball Association for years, and was a co-founder of the Banks Youth Soccer Association. While in scouts Nick was dedicated to every boy in the troop and spent thousands of hours volunteering at scout camps. He wired every building at Camp Meriwether, at least once.Nick achieved Vigil status in the Boy Scouts Order of the Arrow, was the City of Forest Grove Hometown Hero, and the City of Banks volunteer of the year. Nick preferred to work behind the scenes and do the jobs that needed to be done. He never sought acknowledgement or reimbursement from anyone. Nick was everywhere helping everyone but was also home close to his family. He was famous for making anything work, and his most trusted tools were his Leatherman and Maglite.

    ot HuffPost has a story on a Congressional candidate from
    Charlottesville who is an admitted pedophile & participates
    in messages boards—promoting child rape.
    I wonder if any such message boards existed in Portland
    in 2010?

    Was that something “TOR” related? If so I don’t recommend anyone trying to research anything in the dark web, lol.

    That said, you are 100% correct that line of investigative inquiry was and is appropriate by LE.

    o/t to your o/t, it just dawned on me- I wonder what the investigative report (Frink et al) may have uncovered about Logan Storm?
    B

  19. Rose says:

    Maybe MBS pointed us more than once to the Weatheroys she lauded for a reason.
    Father’s 3 kids had a lock on PPB Cold Case, Homicide; PPB Budget Advisory Comm; School Resource officers in Youth Div & later head of PPS School Safety. plus double PERS retirement planning ie PPB+MCDA (Paul); PPB+PPS (George); ?+PPB (her). Whatever, #1 & 2 were positioned to keep their employers’ focus on Terri.

    Fwiw, I am confident that the laser focus of Terri begins and ends with MCSO. There was a reason Staton became “unsure if we were headed in the right direction investigatively” and he put it right out there.

  20. Rose says:

    the only mcso supervisory employee in power from day1 under Staton
    who’s still in power & even more so, is Jason Gates.

  21. Rose says:

    begins & ends with mcso solely, btw?
    MCDA conducted both GJs.
    Wouldn’t have done it if their Chief Investigator
    was not in favor. & he has conflicts of interest.

    I am referring to the tunnel vision, unyielding focus on TH as their suspect without a scintilla of evidence and apparently 2 grand juries agree with that. MCSO maintains they have jurisdiction in this case, so it is what it is. That said, I am also very confident a great deal of “investigation” to that end (at least previously) has occurred without the knowledge of the DA or any ADA’s. I have also never seen anyone ask DY why (she thinks) previous investigators were removed from the case, and either were demoted or are no longer even detectives. She’s married to a detective- she is quite clear what that means.
    B

  22. Rose says:

    the investigative report (Frink et al) said
    they did not investigate cases other than
    the Whitehurst task. Beyond the scope.

    Right, agreed. That’s why I termed it “came across”. Frink, now a non lawyer, had a case where a child went missing from his elementary school. Nobody will convince me he wasn’t the first to raise his hand when plowing through anything relative to say, Skyline or Storm’s former employer (s).

    So what time was the infamous picture of Kyron in front of his tree frog project taken. I read that Zimmerman saw Terri take the picture

    After more research around the internet I am getting a time that the tree frog SF pic was taken around 9:15 when Zimmerman said she saw Terri and Kyron by his project. It seems like every year around the anniversary of Kyron disappearing that Desire throws out a new made up fact to get attention. And this is one of them. or maybe she need to alter things in her mind to try to convince herself of her own misrepresentation of the past.

    It was definitely prior to 8:45- and iirc Zimmerman puts the time seeing them at 8:15 am. I would also add that I believe the pics of Kyron taken with his pal Curtis were taken a few minutes apart, and I don’t know if DY is considering that is also a pic of Kyron taken in front of his project as well.
    B

    It doesn’t help people understand that what she is saying isn’t true because she waits so long to announce these falsehoods that it is hard to find the truth and LE says nothing to discredit her made up stuff.

  24. Rose says:

    I won’t try to convince you, not worth our time.
    But my MO on Frink is as a bully blowhard egotist
    w/o intellectual curiosity or muscle or Terri wouldn’t
    have been his day 1 fixation.
    That Shrunk office rewarded staff on convictions
    (trial or plea) irrespective of the quality of the case.
    Imo Frink would not go out of his way to examine staff,
    parents, volunteers, contractors, PPS Central Office
    denizens freaky tho many were, or habitues of Skyline.
    Nor would he be curious about tying Storm to any crimes.
    Beaverton is a different Sch Distr from PPS. Storm’s
    porn was apparently violence yo young females. He was
    found nit guilty of touching 2 young girls at pool. Imo if
    Beaverton SD & policevcould’ve found anything more on him than
    interspersed photos of class kids with porn, they would have.

    Im not sure of what you would need to “convince” me of- I don’t disagree with you on Frink and while it is solely my opinion, I am still very suspect of his voluntary status giving up his license to practice law upon retirement. Suspect in the sense that I believe it may have had to do with his conduct/ethics wrt to the Horman investigation.

On the national scene there are people in DOJ & FBI trustworthy as to truth and professional process. Former leaders in govt speak out.

    He says vetting consists of LE background clearance (no convictions for Bad Stuff).
    W/o relevant education & experience & references, unmarried & no kids, I’d want a psychological screening.

    anyone can google oregon foster care problems.
    those volunteers on the State Citizens Board never knew enough
    to blow the whistle in their case children to the
    Gov’s Office or top agency supervisors & should be fired as volunteers.
    You can’t aid children in a system when the system
    should be in Fed receivership.
    Wishert’s individual child “love” talk is sickening imo.
    These kids don’t need impermanent stranger volunteers “loving” them.
    Reminds me of the Hart mothers’ psychology.
    anyway, Briede & Wishert were the two leading
    case interjectors of self. Both seem to have a
    propensity for that in other matters tho.

    Stoller MS in Beaverton is in a different County & School District. Investigation of Storm’s school-based predilictions would’ve been Beaverton PD or Washington Cty Sheriff. Doubt he crossed the minds of mcso investigators.

  32. A Texas Grandfather says:

    Oregon Live is reporting the new school superintendent for Portland schools has cut 65 jobs in the administration. Probably a clean-out to make room for some new hires by the superintendent.

    Most school districts have far too many administrative personnel for the size of the district.

    The Portland schools have a very low rating in one of the nationwide rating system reports. In a scale of one to ten with ten being top score, they score most Portland schools at five or less.

  33. Rose says:

    Here’s what Jason Gates said about Terri early on & never corrected: “Terri is the last known person to have seen Kyron alive before he disappeared,” Gates said. He got promotions.
    ——
    I was looking for The List. Lotta names of school staff on this page: http://blinkoncrime.com/2016/01/21/kyron-horman-missing-case-terri-horman-breaks-her-silence-in-people-magazine-interview/comment-page-61/

    True, however, Staton did walk back on that personally. There is no way to know exactly what MCSO personnel knew “what” and “when”for a variety of reasons, but as I have stated before, I have actually interviewed LE sources that were NEVER given updated timeline information in their tenure of the case. It is actually very common in high profile, multi agency investigations to use what is called a “silo” approach in terms of case sensitive information. You can imagine what that “looked like” to some of those resources when Steve Houze announced in open court that statement was false, and there were and/are witnesses he intended to bring forward that were the subject of the motion to quash.

    Fwiw, there is not a single Atty in Oregon I have ever interviewed that when they heard that argument, had any doubt whatsoever that Houze was 1000% confident that the depositions he sought would prove his assertion, and that was that Kyron did not leave with Terri, could not have, and he was seen afterward AND he was LAST SEEN walking out of Matthews classroom as I have previously reported years ago.

    My point, I don’t really wonder if the reason MCSO is silent on the Horman case then and now has to do (in part) with the fact that Gates gave a public statement on behalf of MCSO so the Judge had no choice but to allow Houze to depose witnesses on the record who refuted that fact, unequivocally.

    was in his early 30s then. iirc not on the List.
    I can’t see on a facile search where he was with public schools again.
    seemed to have moved to Beaverton, then ?

    “talking heavily with investigators”
    “they’re still heavily involved”
    wth does that mean?
    Sounds like both misleading & self-puffery to me.
    pardon me for saying just my opinion that
    psychologically he reminds me of the current Pres.

    Rose, Im begging, lol, can we please do our best to keep Apolitical here?

    How “we think he’s still out there” 8 years later does not prompt a follow up question by an actual journalist I will never understand. I feel like anything else I say is just repeating myself. Those investigators he is speaking so heavily to do not believe Kyron is alive, so how does that factor into his comment?

    God Bless this little man always, but especially today.

    Blink, You told us to watch the Ramsey case. Do you think this just a coincidence?

    snip>

    A high-profile forensic psychiatrist who advised police and prosecutors in high-profile cases like the JonBenet Ramsey murder and the Columbine school massacre was shot dead outside his Arizona office on Thursday evening.

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/high-profile-forensic-psychiatrist-shot-dead-outside-phoenix-office/ar-AAy7v9A

    I’m praying it is in that regard, erose. I have consulted with Dr. Pitt on a completely unrelated case AND his work on Ramsey, but I sincerely hope it is not connected to my inference.

  38. erose says:

    Maybe not Ramsey, but seems like a case they were all working on.

    https://www.cbsnews.com/news/steven-pitt-forensic-psychiatrist-shooting-death-linked-to-killings-of-2-women-police-say/

    Agreed, or had some interest in, whether directly or indirectly.
    He was cornered this am and committed suicide. I expect his name will be released this evening- but I have also just been told there may be an additional victim or victims that had not been discovered prior to his suicide.

    Lastly- may seem trivial to some, but this man is being incorrectly termed a “serial killer”. He is not, and it matters a great deal in the world of criminal psychological and behavioral profiling

    it is very hard but I’ll try.

    I know it is my dearest Rose, I get that. For me,too. I appreciate you.

  40. Rose says:

    No reporter asks Kaine or MSCO what investigator being “heaviky involved” means.
    Involved:
    With who?
    about what?
    What tasks? (searches, pingology, vetting attendees?)
    Why is their work “heavy” now?
    ———
    I trust you will delete my other comment, & here I will say such speech leads to my opinion father is a sociopathic narcissist, koin media is incompetent professionally, and mcso is led by an empty suit. Jason Gates prolifically comment on the investigation in 2010. He sould do so now.

  41. Rose says:

    Let it be a lesson that if an unstable person who acts on those delusions has fixated paranoid delusions focused on you, and has a personality disorder say BPD, or schizophrenia, behind the delusional thinking, you gotta nip it in the bud, get a RO, or press some charges or sue to get an order controlling that person’s behavior, because the delusion will just get worse over time, the fixation will never resolve, and the person will never stop acting out & will always be dangerous to you. I’m speaking of Desiree’s delusional fixation on Terri.
    ————
    The time to act in my view was when she led a gang to stalk and chalf in Roseburg.
    —————
    The Fixator (yes, snark to the max) continues to give “public” briefings thru her vitputerative bear of little brain and profane mouth, her fundraiser Soldier, promising stay tuned, something big is coming.
    I guess she’s figured out she can get jurisdiction over Terri in CA, trot on the stand her witnesses Terri left with Terri and other Terri hated Kyron witnesses, and get a judgement on the preponderance (51%). Terri won’t be able to defend herself. You think she can get mcso/da witnesses there to attest to case facts? Or the depos out of a sealed custody case file? Desiree’s med records would be inadmissible. And vicious Desiree will achieve putting Terri & Jesus so deeply in debt trying to defend herself at trial it would be unrecoverable. Terri should’ve fixed her back in 2012 with her own aggressive litigation civilly to include an RO.
    http://www.courts.ca.gov/9617.htm

    I encourage everyone reading today’s coverage to make a note of those sites which quite literally did almost nothing but change the date from last years piece. Some from May 2017- it is even in the URL. Just shameful.
    B

  42. Rose says:

    Staton walked it back. Gates didn’t. And Desiree, katu, koin, kgw, etc continue to quote it. In his current position, Gates needs to disclose who was last seen with Kyron and when/where.

    Staton is MCSO at that point.
    Gates also says ( I want to say at press conf for request for public help) I have nothing to say about Terri Horman. Underhill “underscores” this by saying they want to solicit information that has not been tempered by information including “Terri Horman” or words to that effect.

    We agree that MCSO SHOULD correct public misinformation re an active case at a minimum, but I can tell you I was told directly they are under no obligation to and will continue that practice. I mean, it seems to be working for them (snark alert)

    Ditto that Blink. It is so time for LE to release some information on wth they’ve been doing with this for 8 years.

    To this day, eight years later, I still wonder why PPB did not take jurisdiction over this crime, and I wonder if anything would be different if they had.

    The following is the only list of school resource officers I could find from 2010, which may actually be 2011, does anyone remember who was Lincoln/Skyline district’s? I was thinking it was a woman officer who had not been on the job long, but I can no longer remember.

  44. Rose says:

    Once TRuth I wished PPB had had the investigation. But Reese was in charge if not in 2010 not too long after, & most all his top command was discredited in past years, & we learned from some female officers litigation the PPB was misogynistic in culture so Terri would’ve been in the same place. Then there’d have been a Weatheroy Youth Div Scool Resource & a Weatheroy Homicie det, and no way would they let their brand get tarnished..again, Terri in crosshairs.

  45. T. Ruth says:

    Why would any mother whose child is missing purposely give out false/incorrect information? I don’t think any would. My opinion is that DY hasn’t been told anything different by LE, so she simply repeats (over and over) what she was told in the beginning, when LE was doing waaaaaay to much sharing. My question is, why is that? I notice KH never gives out any information involving Terri’s timeline one way or another, is that because he has been told something different (purposely) by LE? IDK, but it’s the only thing that makes any logical sense in my mind.

    Why in the heck don’t reporters ask the right questions in this case? Why isn’t there one comment from LE after 8 years on? Crazy this. And crazy that the bios put up with it.

    Completely incredulous when you also consider that the only public reference to Kyron’s case I have ever heard from Rees was in his online introduction of Balizan- like its a highlight.

    Kaine was present in depos that confirmed Kyron was seen at the school after Terri left and that Kyron was last seen leaving Matthews classroom. Do you remember when Terri’s counsel asserted Kaine was “deliberately disseminating false information” about her? Well, you noticed that stopped as well. None of it makes sense to reasonable people.

    News Release from: Multnomah Co. Sheriff’s Office MULTNOMAH COUNTY SHERRIFF’S OFFICE CONTINUES SEARCH FOR 7 YEAR OLD KYRON HORMAN
    Posted: June 5th, 2010 9:06 AM

    kyron

    Kyron did not return home on his school bus as scheduled at 330 PM Friday June 4. Family called Skyline Elementary School to report that he had not returned home. Multnomah County Sherriff’s Office was contacted at approximately 4 PM.
    Kyron’s stepmother reports she last saw him at approximately 845 AM Friday, walking down the hallway towards his classroom. School staff report not seeing him after 845 AM and that he did not make it to his classroom. Multnomah County called in their Search and Rescue team to begin their search of the area surrounding the school. As the evening progressed, SearchOne Canine Inc. and Portland Police also joined in the search.
    A decision was made to upgrade the search to a Major Crimes Team investigation. This allows for more resources to be deployed, which included resources from Portland Police Bureau, Gresham Police Department, Fairview Police Department, Oregon State Patrol and the FBI.
    Search and Rescue resources also expanded to include SearchOne Canine Inc., Mountain Rescue, Yamhill County Canine, along with additional members of the Multnomah County Search and Rescue team. Members continued their searching throughout the night, encompassing over 20 miles of road and 2 square miles. Portland Police Bureau’s air unit was another resource called in.
    This morning, at approximately 7 AM, Multnomah County Sherriff’s Office readied for their second operational period.
    The mission is the same as last night; that being to locate Kyron Horman. Also, ordering more resources, which include Search and Rescue resources from Washington County Sherriff’s Office, Yamhill County Sherriff’s Office, Clark County Washington, Pacific NW Search and Rescue, and a National Guard helicopter.

    ****************

    This one is from October 1, 2010:

    Several other law enforcement agencies around the metro area said they are still undecided as to whether they could join the task force.

    Hillsboro police, the Washington County Sheriff’s Office and the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office all said they haven’t yet made a decision.

    A spokeswoman for the Beaverton Police Department said, “At this point, we don’t have anyone dedicated to it.”

    However, the Portland Police Bureau’s spokeswoman said they would be happy to provide a detective.

    “I think we’re all grateful that (Portland Police Chief Michael) Reese has stepped up and offered help. The real tragedy is that the sheriff’s office waited four months to ask Portland for assistance,” McCain said.

    http://www.kptv.com/news/25243879/detail.html

    Multnomah County Sheriff Dan Staton said he is pulling back all but two of his detectives and an administrative technician on the case and instead is asking the Portland Police Bureau and other area law enforcement agencies to provide a dedicated detective. He hopes to put together a task force of eight to 10 detectives to continue focusing on the case.

    http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index…s_top.html

    The 9-member task force consists of one sergeant and three investigators from the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office, one FBI agent, and one investigator from Portland Police Bureau, the Washington County Sheriff’s Office, the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office, and Oregon State Police. Each of the agencies will pay for their own personnel.

    ***********
    Don’t bother to click the links cuz they no longer work,but wth was going on with PPB here? They responded in tandem with MCSO when Kyron first was reported missing. MCSO says they were on the “team” as of June 5 (when it became a Major Crimes investigation!). Then for 4 months they were out of the picture and came back to the team in October?

    None of this made any sense to me back then, which is why I kept these snippets, and none of it makes sense to me today. Kyron has been dealt some sort of horrible injustice by those responsible for this investigation. Makes me mad and sad.

    @erose. Dr Pitt looks so personable & likeable. 2 paras & a life coach? I’m
    gonna guess acrimonious divorce. W/Pitt testifying for wife, paras w/her atty,
    & life coach hers. That’s my guess.

  48. cd says:

    It seems like DY said this exact same thing last year at anniversary 7yr. In fact the entire paragraph seemed familiar maybe it’s just me.

    -snip
    Stay tuned something big is coming I promise you. Terri isn’t going to get away with staying silent about where Kyron is, and not have to answer for it.
