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.

    Would be interesting if SZ tried to pass himself off as Kyron’s stepfather.

    Indeed. Would be “off profile” but this was an incredibly public abduction in the first place.

    We’ve observed SZ was familiar with the school, maybe trailed K thru the school that morning else how would he have known where K was at, & thot about who pricked K’s interest to go back downstairs after T left & the bell rang. I suggest it’s nit all that complicated & SZ had been in K’s classroom (green team class visitor one-off?) in 2008-09 and did not realize, as it’s a 2 year class, this slight small boy had moved upstairs.

  3. rose says:

    If so, please put on the Blink bucket Q list for T:
    did any 1st grade adult volunteer classroom visitor
    ask after him during the 2nd grade year?
    ie, how’s your son? is K enjoying X? etc.

    I will rose, with the caveat I may not be able to publish her raw response or include names as you might imagine.

    Tarheel Comments: Wait! Do we know what kind of vehicle SZ was in?

    For some reason I was thinking that SZ asked for Kyron’s help by using Kyron’s name. Is that not correct? If so, how would that work with stranger abduction?

    We do not.
    My best info was that a witness recalled what they categorized as an abbreviated name, or version of Kyron’s name in retrospect.
    Unfortunately, even stranger abductions can include the offender knowing or learning the intended victims name- most are experts in listening and observation so that they DO NOT appear to be a stranger or unknown in a situation of opportunity like this was.

    B

  5. rose says:

    Above comment, not a Q, restated without typos: In her deposition, who (category of person , say) Mathews thought SZ was was likely so speculative Houze wouldn’t ask.

  6. rose says:

    @Tarheel, while much was made of white trucks & SUVs by flier, picture, & speculation, I don’t recall a statement from MCSO or anyone else as to what vehicle description MCSO focused on. We know they purportedly tried to id each vehicle at the school and its driver. In Closs’ case several deputy cars passed his sedan, the sole car in the vicinity, near to the house & traveling away from it, and it still didn’t “take” it was the abduction vehicle.

    Since the preplanning & efficiency of SZ in the abduction seems comparable to Closs’ case, I flippantly suggested an older “blend in” sedan with a trunk was a vehicle MCSO should have thought about. SZ would open the trunk to get the stuff for his little helper & push him in & scoot. For all he knew KH would be expected back by Mathews shortly. Like Closs’ 4 min window. The hypothetical alternative would be a work van w/out windows & a screen behind the driver’s seats. If I were a contractor or workman, I’d not use my work van but my old nondescript sedan with stolen plates like Closs’ did.

    So the MFH un-sting was designed by the DA’s office (specifically, Frink)?
    I always thought it was a MCSO idea, Bobby O’donnel-ish. How and why did the DEA climb on board, wearing the wire no less? Is it possible the DEA had something on RSE or that RSE was a past DEA informant?

    I think initially I was of the opinion that O’Donnell was rogue independently, I now think it was joint rogue with the DA hoping to maintain plausible deniability. “
    http://blinkoncrime.com/2016/09/21/dr-phil-show-hosts-missing-portland-child-kyron-hormans-step-mom-terri-horman-over-two-episodes/#comments
    It would be characteristic of Sgt Gosson too, who in seniority & rank was ahead of O’Donnell. Also Underhill had tasked ADA Heidi as the fulltime ADA on the job & site with mcso deputies working this case at that time. She was managing it for mcda. She left the DA’s office for a political position on the Gov’s staff.

    I don’t have anything quotable on that rose- just a source and my instinct. It is my belief Gosson ended up off the “Terri train” if he was ever on it.

  8. rose says:

    Sgt Gosson is in charge of Detectives.
    https://www.mcso.us/site/pdf/org_chart.pdf
    I don’t see a change in the investigatory posture
    w/in mcso Detective Branch because Desiree
    is driving the Terri Train with Zest and Promises,
    Promises, & I think the Youngs have enough contact
    with MCSO Detective Branch that Sgt Gosson would
    inform them if she is not THE person of interest.

    I can say with certainty that nobody within MCSO would so much as approach the subject of Terri being “a non suspect” nor do I believe Desiree would approach the conversation with them, anyway. It was MCSO who cancelled her depositions (and Tony’s) twice during the pendency of her own civil suit, not even her plaintiff attorney. Gosson was moved out of investigations for a few years as I recall- and if I were a betting person he was likely in a position with some sort of claim against Staton that was rectified internally. That said- there is that pesky blue wall and an open case.

    On profile an offender has objectified their intended victim at that point- a high percentage of sexually motivated abduction/homicide of children do not know their offenders and are selected randomly (vs personally known) and are ultimately chosen (act out) based on the criminal opportunity and/or other triggers or precipitous events. I would suggest that his non identification to this day is inline as well.

    If Det Young & wife had not pushed Terri with mcso as the suspect from Night 1, would the abduction vehicle focus have misdirected the public as it did from other vehicular possibilities? Everyone was trying to remember a kid in the front seat of a truck & call in that tip.

    Not that I am aware of rose- I do recall MCSO asked folks to self report and call and leave VM’s as to their vehicle license plates, etc. One of the more regrettable decisions I am told.

    Since Fox, then Lifetime, cancelled Walsh, his production companies ‘ affiliations change too hard for me to keep up with. I don’t think the one before this one is in his well-edited wikipedia. . Desiree’s latest differs from Desiree’s first with him as to production/distribution co because their names differ, tho I think both have Investigations in their names & this one incls his son. One thing I learned is the Natl Center is termed his “private charity.” I think of this as Reality TV with child victims. Blink, I think he’d welcome a Terri-suit because it would give his latest venture lots of publicity.

    John Walsh investigation Discovery have released a video about Kyron Horman disappearance that states that Teri is involved in to Murder for hire investigations and that law enforcement in portland have declared her a a person of interest in Kyron’s case..

    I believe that these statements are not true. I know that was been communicating with soldier for this video so has John Walsh /investigation Discovery singed on the the Teri harassment team?

    https://www.facebook.com/InvestigationDiscovery/videos/371566246755043/

  18. erose says:

    Just thinking this case had so many agencies involved. Why? I think because a child was taken from inside of a school. The school allowed an abduction. Little did they know that the community of the Skyline area would for the most part keep sending their kids to that school, even and eventually the father of the victim sending his only daughter back to the scene of the crime. Anyway that multi-agency response could have been because of some perceived public backlash which should have been on a national level, (ie. How this could happen, all parents want to know) but of which there was little to none.

    To some degree, the answer to your question is about “what else was happening” in the periphery involving those other agencies AS AN ADJUNCT to Staton’s appropriate decision to call in CARD. (FBI’s Child Abduction Rapid Deployment Team).

    Pause- the simple answer is that there are no logical scenarios or explanations to your very relevant and astute question erose.

    I think Desiree was so positive online about detective Relentless/Aggressive
    after her case ended. Maybe that young deputy was a sop mcso threw her.

    from the abduction onset & has never Questioned his Brothers in Blue’s target?
    Poor Kyron.

  22. rose says:

    ” It was MCSO who cancelled her depositions (and Tony’s) twice during the pendency of her own civil suit, not even her plaintiff attorney.”

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

    Why would MCSO cancel Desiree & Tony’s depos in the civil case? And how could they even do that legally without becoming a part of the civil case one way or another? (Sorry, I forget what that’s called, intervening?) Do you, Blink, or anyone else here have any idea why that would have happened?

    That is just as bizarre as them sticking their foot into the divorce proceedings. Are you in effect saying that MCSO is the one who put the end to the civil case; not, as has been conveyed, by not being able to provide their investigative information DY’s attorney spoke of, but by intervening? That civil case could have opened up lots of doors, why would MCSO not want that case to proceed? MCSO knew they themselves wouldn’t have to provide any info they held regarding an ongoing investigation. And where does the cancelled depositions “twice” come in?

    Hi Blink friends,
    Regarding the sighting of Kyron in a vehicle, it was the Salmonberry Road sighting that included an actual child. This was off Hwy 26, west of Portland, in the Coast Range (there is another road with the same name on the east side of the city too).
    The articles are no longer linked from https://www.websleuths.com/forums/threads/possible-kyron-sightings.106899/ but the excerpts say “A truck driver heading toward Portland on Hwy 26 on Sat. (6/5) afternoon said a dirty grey/black truck turned in front of him onto Salmonberry RD – inside was a boy who appeared startled and who looked like Kyron.”

    The Logie Trail Road sighting was, I believe, someone who said they thought they saw Terri on Hwy 30 at the Logie Trail intersection. He looked because he thought it was a friend’s truck and realized later it might have been TMH. More info in this thread, I expect: https://www.websleuths.com/forums/threads/kyrons-timeline-the-rumors-and-sightings.288522/

    Rose et al, I’m sure you’ll be interested in this item.. there’s been a sort of resolution (suspect detained) in the mysterious murder of the public defender Nancy Bergeson. https://www.oregonlive.com/crime/2019/01/burglary-gone-bad-led-to-public-defenders-death-records-allege.html

    Thank you evie. I am thankful for Ms. Bergeson and her family/friends these two were caught- here comes the “But”…

    This woman was a Federal prosecutor, involved in prosecuting some heavy duty criminals AND she had been robbed in her home two months previously. There was no b&e because she left her doors unlocked for dog walkers. She was a candidate for a security system upgrade she did not have, or apparently think she needed even after a previous burglary. She has every right to make those decisions- but I am here to tell you she paid for that ideology with her life. I will never understand that.

    On to the larger issue of the investigative work in this case. This woman was a Federal prosecutor- while everyone deserves best efforts in a similar case- she deserved priority for a variety of reasons and she did not get it. A meth head basically living next door at the time who ends up on a virtual felony spree over the next several years gets fingered by a jail informant when his DNA is apparently in the home? The neighborhood canvas for a similar crime is paramount in any/every scenario- what does that file show about those interviews?

    @cd your test worked. I glanced at Soldier. Her harrassment of Terri has recently stepped up severely, including physical location stalking. So much for FB as a harrassment, dangerous social media playah.

I must say if the peripatetic (at job appearances) Sarah Sanders is ever canned, I nominate M Sigora Leader of #TeaminPursuit for that job working hand in glove with another fabricator for profit. Btw iirc yesterday I read Walsh came back on TV because Nat’t Ctr begged him..no disclosure it’s his private charity.

    But what this really says is “No Solve” former Patrol Reese
    was likely Chief then, & there’s been a revolving door since, until recently.

  49. rose says:

    It seems Reese was leapfrogged up from Precinct Commander to Chief in May 2010 (like Skipper leapfrogged Staton several levels up). Those dramatic internal promotions don’t seem to be for the best. So the Bergeson homicide was 5 months old. Other things were happening like an officer shooting if a mentally ill. Reese had enough on his plate w/out an abduction. His tenure doesn’t seem to have been very successful, & he left behind cronies not capable in their jobs lije the promoted O’Dea.

    Much is made in these writeups Williamson lived a couple miles away. https://www.koin.com/news/crime/nancy-bergeson-murder-suspect-due-in-court/1715318843?_gl=1*1ckii6m*_ga*YW1wLUJxNk9qeThwR09TdDlwcll3Y19nNnFTZkZpYkpVU2dNUGhmYkFXcXdBMHpqWG91dHRCZFJ2LUpjeUt2dWl4c3Q.

    Only one mentions Bergeson’s house was directly behind his coburgler Panek’s residence. My guess is MCDA is letting Panek off the hook for murder so they get a plea in the burglary cases & get him off the streets for awhile, & Williamson won’t cost mcda a trial because he’s on dialysis & likely won’t be alive by then. & PPB has closed a murder case. mcda Rees is nothing if not expedient.
