interesting comments about this -

From your link:

"Here are some facts that wont make the news, from someone who has heard
everything, here are some facts.
-The step mom walked to the classroom with Kyron to drop off his
backpack but chose not to walk him back to the classroom when the show
was over. (For anyone who has ever been to an elementary school, it is
very weird for a parent not to walk their second grader back to class
and say good bye)
-The step mom saw the teacher, is a crowded and loud gym, to inform her
that Kyron had an appointment. Thats all that was said. Thats why when
the teacher saw Kyron wasn't in class she thought nothing of it.
-The step mom acknowledged the fact that she said Kyron had an
appointment, but she said that she ment it was for next week.
-The step mom e mailed the teacher when she got home asking when she
would pick up his science fair stuff."

End -



I don't want to even go there, but it looks like this "step-mom" knew all the right moves to make...from the picture on FB, to the notifying of the teacher, to calling immediately after school. However, the sad thing is, all of that could be construed as normal and loving. But let's remember one thing here...that was his STEP-MOM. It is common in the animal kingdom for the newcomer to get rid of the previous offspring. I'm just saying, not casting aspersions...I still want to know where the heck the school cameras were.....I just have a feeling this child wasn't randomly abducted...

And Onehope, she has removed that game link. It's gone. I wish I had seen it, I would've taken a screen shot, and for what it is worth, those posts happen immediately. I know for myself, I find games to be a way to keep my mind sharp, and a nice momentary diversion, but not if my CHILD is missing. No way, no how. She had the presence of mind to conveniently upload a pic of Kyron and create a page? ....I promise, I would not have thought of that first thing.... The FIRST thing I would've done was go to the school and demand some answers. Show me the tapes. Then, go to the police and demand answers. I'd search the neighborhood, his friends' houses, call each classmate...visit personally...I sure as hell would not have started a FB page right off the bat. Sometimes when people do things too quickly, it looks staged and premeditated. I hope to God I am wrong, but from the outside looking in, that is what it looks like to me - Staged and Premeditated. Everything is too perfect, like she KNEW he was going to go missing, and here's what will look good to the public, like she is a grieving, worried step-mom, and what a good parent she was. Nope, I don't buy it. And where is dad in all of this?

TomTerrific0420 wrote:Friday began as a special day for 7-year-old Kyron Horman. His school in Northwest Portland was
having a science fair and he was keen to show off his project to his
stepmother.

So, instead of taking the bus near his home off
Cornelius Pass Road as usual, he hopped into the car with his
stepmother, Terri Moulton Horman, who drove him to Skyline Elementary
School.

They arrived sometime after the school opened about 8
a.m., went to his classroom, dropped off his coat and backpack and he
showed his stepmother his exhibit, "The Red-Eyed Tree Frog."
Did they bring it with them or was it already at
school? We still don't know if the backpack and coat remained in the
classroom at the end of the day (searching for a report of this)

Horman,
who has raised Kyron since he was an infant, snapped a picture of him
standing in front of it that she later posted on her Facebook page. It
shows a bespectacled and beaming short-haired boy wearing a blue "CSI"
T-shirt in front of an exhibit with photos of bug-eyed frogs, an
anatomical drawing of the creature and other artwork.
No confirmation of the timestamp to facebook of this
photo upload and now fb is private.

"He was so excited
about his science project," said Carol Moulton, Horman's mother and
Kyron's grandmother. "They had worked on it together. He was anxious to
take it to school and show it off."
"take it to school" when did they actually take the
project to school?

After that, the two looked at other
projects set up on desks in classrooms. There are about 300 students at
Skyline Elementary, and all
of them were invited to contribute to
the fair.
so is this the 8:15am - 8:45 timeframe discussed in
other reports?

Although the school usually opens at 8:35
a.m. and the final bell rings 10 minutes later, the school opened as
early as 8 Friday for the science fair, said Matt Shelby, spokesman for
Portland Public Schools.

Other students and parents showed up
early as well to check out the fair, andTerri and Kyron saw people they
knew while looking at the exhibits, Carol Moulton said.
No reports of anyone seeing the two of them at the
fair except for the little boy who said something about a cool electric
project - i will cite the source later of this

Terri often
volunteers at the school, working closely with Kyron's teacher,
Kristina Porter. Shelby said that Porter saw Kyron in her classroom with
his stepmom before 8:45 a.m. and another instructor reported seeing him
in another classroom at some point.
No reports of Porter seeing them together except this
early article. And the other instructor that saw him has not been
identified.

At 8:45 a.m. when the bell rang, Terri walked her stepson down the hall close to his
class.

"He told her, 'I'm going back to the classroom, Mom,'
and she waves to him and left," Carol Moulton said. "She thought he was
safely at school just like he is everyday."
media reports that it was 150 ft away.

What
happened to the boy who went missing is unclear.
press conference on june 7 - someone saw him at 9am
but they decline to name the witness

Carol Moulton said
the kids were supposed to report to their classes and be divided into
small groups of a few students each. Each group was supposed to tour the
science fair with a chaperone. Afterward, when they returned to their
classes for roll call, Kyron wasn't there, she said.
the interview with the little boy indicated he was
with him for about an hour - and the teacher did a headcount upon the
return and discovered only 5 of the 6 were there - which indicates to me
he was placed with a chaperone (who?) and he toured the projects and
sometime during this he went missing (8:45am - 10am) assuming the
headcount was around 10am which is when school was to start. the substitute told miss porter and she said he "probably
went to get a drink of water or the bathroom" according to the little
boy interviewed. SNIPPED Tanner Pumala,
Kyron's classmate, said he last saw his friend at about
the same time when Kyron told him he was headed to look at another
student's science project."He walked by the hallway and I'm like,
'Hi, Kyron,' and he's like, 'Hi. I'm going to go see this cool one.
It's electric.' I'm like,
'Alright, bye.' And that's the last time I saw him," Tanner said. "He
never did make it back to class."

SNIPPED -substitute teacher who was taking a head
count as the second and
third grade class was re-assembling after visiting other classrooms for a
science fair at Skyline School last Friday.
"And she was like
'oh no where's Kyron there's only five' and Mrs. Porter was like it's
okay calm down, calm down he's probably in the bathroom or getting a
drink of water and she said alright I'm going to leave and she left, "
says Tanner Pumala.
Tanner is Kyron's deskmate in their combined
second-third grade classroom. Tanner says Kyron was in school for at
least an hour Friday morning and that he saw Kyron's step-mother leave
the school without Kyron.

a comment was posted on the original article (it has
been removed) stating that the teacher was told kyron had an appt

After
leaving the school, Terri went about her day, running errands and
taking care of household chores. She is a former elementary school
teacher and has worked as a substitute teacher at various schools, but
Moulton said that in recent years she has mainly been a stay-at-home
mom.
Many postings to facebook during the day and some had
questionable timestamps.

Kyron's father, Kaine Horman,
works at Intel's main administrative facility in Oregon, the Jones Farm
campus in Hillsboro, the company said.
Kaine Horman issued an email asking the employees not
to talk to the media. http://ackerlaw.com/blog

Kyron's
biological mother, Desiree Horman, and his father were officially
divorced in February 2003, according to Washington County Circuit Court
records.
Once she was notified, she drove to the
town - and her sister issued a comment.
Carol Moulton said
that Kaine, 36, and Terri, 40, have been together for seven or eight
years and that they have been married
for four or five years. The
couple have an 18-month-old girl.
Terri has a 16 year old biological son who does not
live with them (some accounts say he moved out 3 months ago) and is said
to be living with her parents on a horse farm.

"Terri
has raised Kyron," her mother said. "She's been with him since he was an
infant. She's as much of a mom as the mom is because the parents had
separated about the time that Kyron was born."

She said he
visits his biological mother in Medford every couple of weeks and that
Desiree, 38, came to Portland as soon as she heard about his
disappearance.

SNIPPED I obviously cannot comment on Kyron or the ongoing
investigation.

Kyron was supposed to take the bus home Friday, so Terri went to the bus
stop at 3:30 p.m. to pick him up.

But the bus driver told her
he wasn't there.
SNIPPED upon hearing the substitute teacher noticing
that Kyron was not present
in the classroom, Pumala says the regular teacher said Kyron had
probably gone to get a drink of water or to use the bathroom. It wasn't
until the bus ride home from school, says Pumala that he noticed Kyron
was not on the bus.
Panicked, she ran home and called the school to discover that he had
been marked absent for the day. She called 9-1-1, setting off a search
that's drawn in a swarm of officers and several law enforcement
agencies, including the FBI.
http://www.koinlocal6.com/content/news/topstories/story/Hormans-desk-mate-says-substitute-noticed-Horman/TVY3YTREG0SyCP3tb3MkZg.cspx
Officers,
working with sniffer dogs, have combed the hilly,wooded area around
Skyline Elementary.

Moulton doubts Kyron wandered off on his
own. It's just not in his character, she said.

"He's a little
bit dreamy. He's a sweet kid. He gets distracted. He's your typical
second-grader," she said. But he's no Huckleberry Finn. "He'snot real
adventurous," she said. "He's a little timid. But if a friend wanted to
go outside and look at something, he would follow the friend. He has a
friend who he regularly gets in trouble with in the classroom because he
talks too much."
could someone have lured him to the "electric" exhibit
and taken him?

Moulton said Kyron will not even venture
far from his home in a wooded area. "He won't get out of sight of the
house," she said. "He's pretty insecure about that. So I can't see him
wandering off."

His disappearance is devastating for the
close-knit family, which plays board games together, goes bowling and
enjoys visits to the Oregon Zoo. A few years ago, the family took a trip
to Walt Disney World in Orlando, Fla.
Terri also has a 16-year-old
son from a former marriage who has lived with her mom and dad for the
past few months in Roseburg. The teen's father also lives in the area
and the two are on a Boy Scout camping trip this weekend. It will be
difficult to give him the news, Moulton said.

Kyron's father asked them to specifically search a
horse farm -
After today, searchers hope to have covered all of
those areas, Olsen
said. She said in addition to those areas, searchers also have
responded
to requests from Kyron’s father, Kaine, about areas where the boy may
be, including a horse pasture in Banks, which was searched Sunday.

"It's
a total mystery," she said. "He just vanished. I just can't believe
it."
