This is the problem with adding onto the story, it gets more and more unbelievable. Originally, Terri was supposed to have taken Kyron to school, sneak him out and made everyone think she left without him and the school lost him. Of course, that would have meant the school realized Kyron was gone the moment Terri left, so the fact that the teacher (Porter) had got the idea that Terri had taken Kyron to an appointment became a deliberate plan of Terri's to deceive Porter (this doesn't work with the witness statements we have, but that's another story).
But then Desiree adds to the story. In the Morris book she says Terri walked to her car with Kyron in front of witnesses, and that she had sent the teacher an email where she said Kyron would be absent on the 4th. And now she adds that not only did Terri promise to have Kyron back by 11, she even left a note on the teacher's desk that she took him to the appointment.
Several problems:
1. How could Terri possibly claim to have left Kyron in the school when apparently everyone and their grandma knew about and saw her leave with Kyron?
2. Why would the school expect Kyron to be gone all day if the teacher had it in writing that Kyron was supposed to be back at 11? Why would they not sound the alarm when Kyron didn't return at 11?
3. With all that info - in writing, multiple times, easily confirmable by the police and undeniable by Terri - how was Terri not arrested in 2010? Why was there ever any doubt how Kyron left the school?
And that's not all. Desiree says Terri took Kyron out of his group for a private tour - despite the fact that the groups didn't form until after 8:45, which is when Terri left. There were no groups before that - how could there be, when the buses hadn't even arrived until shortly before?
Desiree says Terri was trying to hurt Porter and the principal because Terri had applied for teacher at Skyline and the principal had given the job to Porter. Except Terri didn't reinstate her teaching licence until the
winter of 2010. She couldn't have applied for Porter's position.
In the book Desiree claims Terri immediately washed Kyron's backpack and jacket - now she says Terri washed everything Kyron owned to prevent a scent sample - seriously?
By piling all this on, it just becomes completely unbelievable that any DA refused to charge her with anything - and not just the three that supervised Kyron's case. Desiree says Terri tried to murder her parents through arson as a teen - no charges. Desiree says Terri stabbed a man in California a few years ago - the DA didn't have the guts to charge her (what?) I almost expect that within a few months we'll hear about Terri handwriting and laminating a full confession and delivering it to the Multnomah County DA in a scented envelope only to have the spineless incumbent - trembling with fear and indecision - refuse to do anything.
