In June, another Oregon child disappeared. However, this time, a happy ending wasn't written in 2010.

Kyron Horman vanished from his school in the Portland area in June. That same month, his mother, Desiree Young of Medford, spoke publicly.

"I think focusing on just the hope that he's going to come home every day is what gets me through," Young said.

Six months later, the investigation continues.<snipped>

PORTLAND, Ore. -- A local company is helping in the search for Kyron Horman by sending the missing boy’s picture to cell phones around the world.

Text No More is an Android application created in Portland. Its creators say the goal of the app is to stop drivers from texting behind the wheel.

The app also sends coupons to subscribers and on Monday, it began sending pictures of Kyron.

At least 40 rescue workers and a handful of search dogs will take part in the effort, says Multnomah County sheriff's spokeswoman Mary Lindstrand.

A police spokesperson echoed Young's statements, telling KATU that the search today, the first in several weeks, were initiated in the hopes of bringing "closure" to the case.

The decision to search the two locations today was reportedly based on investigative leads developed by the Kyron Horman Task Force. <snipped>

At least one neighbor now says he wonders if what he saw the day Kyron disappeared is important.

Fred Hall, a rancher, said on Monday he saw a white pickup on the Friday that Kyron disappeared about a mile down the road.

&#8220;It was a white truck and it had a gal sitting in it,&#8221; he said.

Hall said he called in the tip to investigators and told them where he saw the unfamiliar truck on Skyline Boulevard.

&#8220;It was parked at one of the gates,&#8221; he said.

Investigators said they are specifically searching the land around turnouts that have gates where a car or truck could easily park. Many of the gates aren&#8217;t locked and a car or truck could drive in and disappear down a gravel road.

Dorsey, 57, was one of a just a handful of profilers with vast knowledge of child abduction, child murder and serial killer investigations.

He worked many of the high-profile abduction cases whose names are familiar to people across the country &#8212; JonBenét Ramsey, Elizabeth Smart, Jessica Lunsford, Samantha Runnion, Jacob Wetterling. He worked on the case of Heaven LaShae Ross, who disappeared while walking to her bus stop in Northport in 2003.

Saturday Kyron's mother, Desiree Young, was in Roseburg, Oregon, where Moulton-Horman has lived with her parents since her husband filed for divorce weeks after Kyron's disappearance.

“We are putting the pressure on Terri,” Young told KGW. “We are bringing it to her. She needs to know we will not rest until Kyron is brought home.”

Young, her husband Tony and members of their family were handing out new fliers highlighting Kyron.

Young urged people who see Moulton-Horman to ask her about Kyron.

Multnomah County Commissioners have apparently redesigned their website, resulting in confusion! Here is the link I just found to today's Board meeting, showing Staton on the revised schedule. Perhaps others can find other links they need there related to this meeting:

The team of investigators assigned to the case includes an expert in information technology and a communications technology expert hired out of California to look over cell phone and cell tower data. There is also a behavioral psychologist helping in the case, Staton said.
Multnomah County Chief Deputy Jason Gates says the FBI has been a partner in the investigation "since day one."
