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.

Hah. what a soap. The 2 boys in the Patton case above found themselves civil attorneys happy to file a tort for $12 Million against the corporate successor of that Beaverton DKWilds club that the boys allegedly met Patton at (if true, giving that PPB Det jurisdiction). Wonder what the settlement was?

Imo Patton et al had their regulars & Kyron’s case is not their style—
just boys who hung out at seedy porn shops.
Shauna & her husband are apparently the two sued for $12 M by
the 2 brothers who hung out in one or more of her adult porn 24 video watching booths.
http://portlandtribune.com/component/content/article?id=97263
I mean if you let minors hang out back there…
Wondering if Terri ever went on ladies’ night?
that was a 2006 article on dkwilds. her husband dk apparently died in 2011 (tho it refers to a former wife diane), so maybe by 2011 and his death they’d sold the business.
ot more soap
the business setting cited for PPB’s jurisdiction wrt Patton
was sold in 2011, likely just after Patton’s incident with the 2 brothers.
http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2015/05/feds_say_oregon_tax_firm_sold.html
“a Portland area porn shop called DK Wilds. Two days before Coverdale’s death on April 21, 2011, Wheeler and Swanlund met with him to craft a new will that would leave the adult entertainment businesses to a trust in the names of Coverdale’s two sons.
Wheeler, who had served as Coverdale’s CPA, was named trustee. He was responsible for selling Coverdale’s assets, which included his home and the porn shop property and building.
According to the court document, Wheeler wired $737,502.16 from the Coverdale estate to West Coast Bank to buy out that line of credit on Trotter Downs Phase II. But while Wheeler took the majority of proceeds from sales of the first three houses in the development, he never reimbursed the trust that Coverdale established for his sons.
The IRS declaration accuses Wheeler of lying to the mother of one of Coverdale’s heirs, telling her that the trust had been frozen due to a $12 million lawsuit in which two boys accused employees and customers at DK Wilds of molesting them in the “video viewing booths” of the business.
Then, according to the documents, Wheeler used much of the remaining Coverdale funds to charge airline tickets, spend the night in the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas, buy expensive meals at such spots as the Bridgeport Grill, and spend time at a strip joint (Stars Cabaret).
Wheeler also wired money into Swanlund’s bank account, according to the document, and made a loan to their joint business (the now-defunct Club Rouge, a Portland Gentleman’s Club), gave $3,960 to his ex wife and $4,000 to his fiancee.”
TRuth, There are several comments. Keep scrolling. I found this one interesting. This and the one that says he is still PERS eligible.

Addendum, Chocobot: Follow the link provided above to the O-Live articles covering Patton’s plea deal and sentencing in 2003. Please note that Patton’s own high-priced defense attorney, Michael Levine, while speaking for Patton and explaining and mitigating Patton’s conduct, said that Patton’s “repressed homosexuality” had messed with his mind and given him for a time the mind and emotionality of a sixteen year-old. Interesting “fodder”, eh Sparky? Sounds like what’ll come from Sandusky…..
http://www.oregonlive.com/milwaukie/index.ssf/2012/07/former_sherwood_high_principal.html

It is not clear how Patton and the victim knew one another. Lufkin told PQ Monthly in August that he believed Jonny Bladimir Landa-Aburto — at the time arrested on charges including sodomy, sexual abuse, and luring a minor — served as a “facilitator” between the two.
http://www.pqmonthly.com/fabulous-pdx-publisher-rob-patton-sentenced-in-child-sex-abuse-case/13653
“On that note, a very general comment you have probably seen me reference previously-as a country, I think we need to do a better job screening, training and reporting on our service personnel.”
“If you have an individual who has mental or behavioral issues going in-it is more than likely going to exacerbate them and often does.”
The military has always had problems with some individuals because they do not screen recruits carefully enough. As a child, I observed several men who served in WWI that were traumatized by their experience in battle. Today, that is called PTSD. In that time it was known as being “shell shocked”.
Following WWII, the military draft was left in place. All young men had to register for the draft at age eighteen. Subsequent to registration, within the next four years, all had to report to a draft center to take a mental and physical exam so the military would have information about each person.
It has been over sixty years since I took that exam, but I still remember the experience. There were over 200 potential recruits that day. The mental part was about formal subjects such as English, math,reading comprehension, tools and other things found in everyday life.
The highest score that day was mine-a grade of 99. I could not score 100 because of a math question that was improperly presented. It had been in existence on the test for eight years when I fount it. The Captain in charge verified that it was incorrect and removed it from the test. This tells one that the military does not carefully police and inspect their processes and procedures.
We had a lot of guys that scored less than twenty. The grades were posted outside the hearing test room in alphabetical order. The guy ahead of me was transferring from the Navy to the Air Force. He found his score of 56. Then he stated that it was the highest score he had ever made on the test. This indicates the low level of education of the average non-commissioned troop.
There were no interviews of any of the potential recruits to determine their mental stability. That would leave it up to the actual recruit team if it was ever done.
“what sort of assessments are going on in that office to proceed to trial these days?”
Same assessments as when Frink ran pleas for Shrunk (I read last nite Frink ok’d all pleas for Shrunk). Just like TMH, whatever it takes to get a notch in the belt of a conviction, any conviction, stat. I have no double that with a very disabled girl teatifying entertainingly with mom’s special communication, MCDA thought the paraeducator whose employer did not support him was an easy peasy win.

I guess there are 30 somethings whose “repression” leads them
to prefer teens, and it seems some State cultures accept opposite sex but not same sex and sodomy and not computers full of child porn and liaisons at sex video shops’ private cubicles. For some reason imo the MC DA and local DOJ went real easy on this repeat offender in 2013 when there were 2 separate charges, which makes no sense as his cohorts were locked up in Wash Cty. I can see some citizens writing letters to a judge about the good he’d done in the Portland gay community.
one of the articles above said PPB Det Windsor specifically targeted Patton, despite the preceding investigations of Wa Co and Beaverton detectives, due to the involvement of DKWild (where the boys apparently serviced motley men and Patton). At the time of that targeting, Bridge Advisors partnership had been founded in 2009, the principals in 2011 had directed DK’s will writing just before his death and locked in their personal control of his assets and milked his estate of its value, a couple million anyway. And imo a lot of Lake Oswego/Portland businessmen, say even judges and DAs or private attorneys, didn’t want Bridge to unravel. Imo some investor(s) in that professional class suggested to PPB to target Patton and get a quick lenient plea to shut down public knowledge of the Bridge ponzi scheme in which DK was a victim, and shut down oublic knowledge of the Bridge parnership’s close personal ties to a sex video shop owner. .
wonder what charges were laid in this Fed investigation or pleas taken?
http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2015/10/second_raid_at_embattled_busin.html
iirc 2014 was when the DC Crim Div ejected A Marshall, who imo woukd’ve gone hard on
these two.
co-principal founding partner of Bridge Advisors who drafted the deathbed will for DK that allowed his colleague to loot the estate. Is this current? Were there no consequences? http://www.bridgecitylaw.com/about/
here’s my inference: A professional in Portland— lawyer, cpa, investor, politician—has as a “best defense” owning or coowning or controlling in an estate, a strip club downtown (such as Rouge) or an upperend video viewing shop or such like, because he woukd have access to patrons’ credit card billings, store surveillance tapes and customer lists and patrons such as ADAs, cops, judges, and businessmen would know that even if it were not explicit. Imo the media/political/LE coverups re SZ are probably just the tip of the iceburg of everyday business in Portland.
Well, I can only add that if SZ is a sexually motivated pedophile, chances are less than 1/3 (potentially, stat) that he uses adult porn that could be found there as opposed to illegal pedo porn and porn depicting sexual violence, unfortunately.

I haven’t been following the Delphi, IN murder cases, but of course I’ve looked at the girl’s photo of the suspect, etc. So on a whim last week I googled “reddish brown hair” sex offenders, and this story came up, which is just flippin’ unbelievable:
“Man Who Repeatedly Raped His 12-Year-Old Daughter Released to Repair Relationship With His Sons”
https://jezebel.com/man-who-repeatedly-raped-his-12-year-old-daughter-relea-1788027697
The photos of this man seem similar in features to me as the suspect in the Delphi case. I spent some time googling and I found it interesting that there is a Martin Joseph Blake listed in Indiana, who is the same age (and name) as this guy. However, I can’t be certain it is the same dude as now living as SO in Montana. If it’s a different MJB, doesn’t mean there aren’t family ties, etc. to Indiana. I’m posting a few other links for ya’ll to take a look. Probably a long shot, but if this creep was forced to stop “REPEATEDLY raping” his own daughter and yet as you can see was not imprisoned, makes one wonder if he took up his desires elsewhere. This man looks angry that he was stopped in his arrest photos, like he wants to get back at someone. But it appears he may be too tall to a suspect in the Delphi case. Still, I hadn’t seen this story and it’s unbelievable, I hope the judge was relieved of his duties.

This search actually shows as same dude, but I don’t know how accurate this is, the other’s don’t link to both IN & MT.

There are no words. I literally have to stop reading at my own site today because I have work related commitments to the nth and all I want to do is scream already. WHY wasnt a GAL appointed for this child? Where the eff is CYS? Where is the child and what has been done to protect her? How the eff can he go home if most convictions would preclude him from being anywhere near his victim. He can’t claim it hinged on a loophole of a psych sex eval if the state recommended a 25 year mandatory sentence- the State cant request the mandatory if that eval came from the court appointed expert (states side) so it had to come from the defense. In a word, null. In a word, maddening.

Great suit. Peachey undoubedly thinks any teen old enough to have breasts, his

booze or not.
I believe both of his victims were males and he had no business being alone with them in the first place, he went out of his way to be, and he will reoffend. Creeps me out totally.

yeah I just saw it was boys when drunk in url above.
the plea bargain was way too lenient & he learned nothing. Police shoukd’ve issued calls for other vics.
can you imagine using a house lent by new arrivals in Oregon to fondle their son and do the same with another boy using their premises? imo he’s an opportunistic sociopath.
That is why I feel he will reoffend. He is a predator. One of the things I have also been taught about such “types” is that if they are caught less than half of their victims will ever be known. I question the 2010 DUI of where he crashed into a students vehicle and ran. Was it some sort of retaliatory act? I am just not comfortable we know the risk level of this guy and that’s a problem, imo.
B
Just imagine the teen parties w/alcohol
he will throw for his 2 kids when teens.
Insane she hasn’t gotten an RO and divorced.
I bet he acted out as ski trip sponsor for freshmen.
T. Ruth,
The suspect from Delphi is described as “not having blue eyes”. The creepy mccreep father has blue eyes. I don’t know why it states not blue eyes unless it is perhaps because of something like Parabon DNA that I have seen discussed where they try to predict physical characteristics of a donor.
Ode, I think you may be on to something on that- thank you for adding it the overall discussion here.
For those unfamiliar : https://snapshot.parabon-nanolabs.com/
As Ode points out, I have only seen that particular descriptor in DNA snapshot profiles.
Hopefully this dispels the long held notion (by some) that full DNA profiles cannot predict certain ancestry markers- they absolutely can, and it is one reason why familial DNA should be used in cold cases (RAMSEY) whenever possible.
I also now wonder if the sketch composite was not derived from that as well. It seemed unbelievably detailed to me for someone to get from a witness per se. If they had a phone image that clear I am sure they would have released that.
Unfortunately if they have DNA I also have to assume that dude they recently named a POI is out by now.

some personnel chages 10/1 https://www.mcso.us/site/pdf/org_chart.pdf
Gaidos made Capt—wasn’t he formerly Communications? ( Need just the right person for election season.) Changes in Investigations. & Detectives now listed separately w/ Gossom, on the initial Kyron team, iirc he was part of E Cty Majr Crimes.
Super Interesting Rose, thank you.
Of note- Capt Harry Smith was the former chief of Fairview- and in August was not announced for this role.
This is the first time I have seen Gosson on an org chart in years (same rank). Gives me reserved optimism. Last time he was referenced (as discussed) it was an inspections detail over corrections.
Nicole Morrissey Odonnell is married to Bobby Odonnell, who she now also outranks x2, she was recently promoted to Chief Deputy and moved to Corrections from training. As I understand it she has an excellent record and is very well liked. (you know there is some truth in that woman behind the man thing, lol). I wonder why the org chart only lists her maiden name when she is listed correctly on her most current MCSO video. There are other hyphenated names.
Interesting no Walls nor Krafve in leadership roles.
B
http://portlandtribune.com/go/42-news/377131-262609-news-briefs-mcso-celebrates-new-leadership
was this Bob’s no. 2? Lindstrand seems to have regressed from Acting Chief Deputy. She had been a Corrections Capt.
I thought they’d picked up a suspect in
another State who had lived under bridges
homeless in the area at the time. Maybe I’ve confused cases.
He did well in marrying her imo.
I thot Gosson was sent to jail insprctilons, tho he was a noted
detective, for a deputy that is, for differing on the path
(a dead end tunnel) of the Horman investigation with Staton.
Entirely correct. Wrt to the open Horman case, I find it an incredibly interesting career development/staff change.
B
the woman who was PIO in 2010, a rocket-up promotee under Staton,
disappeared from the chart too.
here is where Sgt Krafve released a 2017
sworn statement saing a GJ is empaneled.
http://www.kgw.com/mobile/article/news/local/kyron-horman/new-details-in-the-search-for-kyron-horman/439863859
In Sept Gosson was in the Cold Case Unit. I don’t think he was new there. Imo his job has not changed but Reese has separated different Investigations functions on the 10/1 chart. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=469666890079301&id=263127847399874&refsrc=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F&_rdr
Previous PR or other website presence indicated “cold case” attachment was made up of volunteers, no?
I recall a specific member being a retired FBI agent. Fwiw, I have been told directly from MCSO on several occasions Kyron’s case is considered “active status” with their office, not “cold”. The “cold” designation being informal and unsupported by any accompanied process plan.
B
re Smith. iirc Fairview had men on the E Cty Mjr Crimes team.
Smith makes a cameo appearance https://s3.amazonaws.com/wapopartners.com/wweek-wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/10113706/Ritchie-complaint.pdf
This pic is priceless. Left to right- Ct Harry Smith, Sheriff Mike Reese, CD Jason Gates. Check out CD Gates look to Smith.
In my practice there is a little joke I use when I have to discuss something unpleasant and confidential, or if I am referring to a process a public figure CANNOT use if transparency and public access is required- I say “Good time to announce that executive session part of the program”. LOL

Scientists are at the beginning of understanding DNA. Sometime, in the future, they will understand enough to predict all the structural elements of a person from markers found. Familial DNA is going to be very important in building that knowledge base.
The problem we now have is keeping LE and the courts up-to-date with proven findings. This means proper resources must be allocated for this education.

I wonder if Krafve retired as well?
As I perused the MCSO twitter today, I am saddened more than ever, when I see how much everyone has aged since Kyron went missing. (My mirror says the same thing.) All the years become vivid, all the things this young boy missed. So sad. I’m not so sure that those detectives who have worked his case and are leading into retirement is such a good thing, because I wonder if new detectives will be as attached and dedicated to finding answers. I do though, hope new leadership will result in some sort of new direction, as we’ve seen the previous one go nowhere. I wonder who volunteers on the cold case unit?
I am pleased to see Gosson reappear, because it seems he may have been pulled as lead because he didn’t want to go down the same rabbit hole as others, but who knows for sure? (It appears he has reddish hair, so at least we know he doesn’t have that phobia!) https://www.firstgiving.com/fundraiser/leegosson/2011torchrun
If that pic is the LG running, I would have to say that gentleman is a relative (son?) of Sgt. Gosson, Sgt. Gosson is considerably “sr” to that young man.
B
He seems a younger man, who was there at the beginning of this case, so if he’s in charge now, at least we can assume Kyron will still be high on his list for a while before he retires.
ot I always enjoy reading about Riddell’s quests.

Blink, I believe TRuth had him correctly. In the area there are several Lee D(avid) & Lee S, as the name is used generationally. I believe the mcso Sgt is 46 yo Lee D(avid). See no. 1310 on this full personnel chart from 2011. Hired in 1994.

IDK, Blink, but it was six years ago, and could have been a younger pic to begin with. The only Lee Gosson I get in P-town is around 50 yoa, and if that’s him and this (below) is when he started with MCSO, would have been around 27 yoa:

May not be him at all, but only one I could find and since he was running for MCSO I figured it was him. I hope it is, and he doesn’t retire anytime soon.
https://www.firstgiving.com/fundraiser/leegosson/2011torchrun
Certainly may not be his pic and could be that of an individual that charity benefits? At any rate, I appreciate that updated agreement as I had not seen it- I just wanted to provide context as you point out – but it is definitely not a recent pic of Sgt. Gosson. Agreed on the longevity.

Lindstrand retired in May 2016, I had a link and it darn disappeared.
Don’t see her in PERS, but one can always liquidate an account (appears Yankee did) and I think the db only contains active accounts for disbursement.

org chart updated again on 11/6
https://www.mcso.us/site/pdf/org_chart.pdf
there are now 4 coequal Chief Deputies.
2 tippy top promotional pathways in Corrections now.
I bet this paves the way for a new position,
Asst Sheriff, after the election.
Balizan now has chief deputy in front of his name.
I guess he got qualified & certified in Oregon and
plans to stay.
I think I missed Capt Alexander moving to corrections previously. You may recall he is the former PIO.
Looks like I do not see that position updated on the chart- I think you pointed that out previously Rose.
B
M Lindstrad went from PIO in 2010 to Corrections & was promoted w/in there until she made Chief Deputy, Business replacing Yankee, then was reduced to Acting after the Settlement between mcso/Yankee, then when Reese arrived returned to Corrections (Facility type job iirc). So PIO to Corrections was for her a promotion path to attain higher ranks.
iirc the last PIO was C Gaidos who was
just promoted a rank and iirc is in Court Services now.
