Or is it the opposite? Are the contrived and empty scenarios the ones which depict a SODDI theory?I think at some point we have to realize how contrived the scenarios for the abduction and murder of Kyron by Terri have become. Every explanation needed to explain a hole in the theory contradicts another.
A) She needed only two people to believe Kyron was at school on the 4th. Those two people were Kaine and Desiree.* Terri took Kyron to school and then clandestinely snuck him out, not signing him out, so everyone would believe he was still at the school. She leaves his jacket and backpack at school.
B) She needed the school to believe Kyron was absent because she had taken him to a doctor’s appointment.
C) She needed the F250. A lie to Kaine about needing to bring the science project home on the 4th covered that.
Kyron most likely believed he was going to stay at school for the day. He probably wanted to. He would have been alarmed, possibly to the point of crying, if Terri had gathered up his jacket and backpack, or asked him to do it. She wasn’t “clandestinely sneaking out”, but she didn’t want a memorable disturbance, either.
As an unemployed teacher and an active volunteer at Skyline Elementary, Terri understood all too well the procedure of a child’s absence from school, and particularly from Kyron’s school.* Of course, Kyron would have been noted as missing as soon as the class gathered just before 9:00, which means Terri would have been called immediately after leaving the school with Kyron.
She knew Kyron’s homeroom teacher had a feasible excuse for Kyron’s absence because she had “invented” the excuse and “presented” it to the teacher. She knew no phone call would be made to anyone, herself included, at 9 am, or at 10 am, or at 11 am, etc., etc., etc.
Absolutely, deliberately using the fallacious doctor’s appointment as an excuse in her email for Kyron’s absence from the school created the 6-plus-hour window of opportunity.* This was averted by the teacher believing Kyron was at a doctor's appointment, delaying discovery for seven hours. But if that was sloppiness on behalf of the teacher, Terri would have no way of knowing or controlling that delay. So Terri must have informed the teacher about the (false) appointment deliberately.
Did you know that it is often in the first two to three hours that most kidnapped children come to egregious harm?
Let’s take a closer look at the first hours of Kyron’s disappearance based on what has been reported in mainstream media as well as what has been shared with us by Desiree (with law enforcement as her source):
1st Hour: 9:00 am to 10:00 am Tick Tock: During the first hour of Kyron’s disappearance Terri was a busy bee going between two Fred Meyer locations, leaving barely a second unaccounted for. All on a cold, damp, rainy day, forcing an 18-month-old child to accompany her. In and out of vehicles. In and out of malls. Parking far, far back in two different parking lots of two different stores of the same name. Parking in such a way that the vehicle could not be seen on surveillance cameras while it was parked.
We don’t know what happened, if anything, in and near that vehicle while Terri and the baby were inside the stores. We don't know who was inside it, if anyone.
2nd Hour: 10:00 am to 11:00 am Tick Tock: During the second hour of Kyron’s disappearance, Terri refused to account for her time. (Except to say she was driving on area “back roads” trying to soothe her daughter who suffered from a supposed earache).
3rd Hour: 11:00 am to 12:00 pm Tick Tock: As we enter the third hour of Kyron’s disappearance, Terri spent the first 30 minutes still driving on those same unidentifiable back roads, still driving with an 18-month-old child, still driving without apparent memory. (Perhaps Terri was in a fog—I think we’ve heard that excuse used somewhere before). Finally, (according to Terri) at just beyond the half-hour mark of the third hour, 11:39 am, she emerged at her gym. She placed the 18-month-old in the gym daycare and did a weightlifting routine. She supposedly dropped a weight on her leg causing a rather large and deep gash.
The timeline given in Desiree’s book is quite different. It gives the missing time as over 2-hours which would have Terri arriving at the gym about 20 minutes past the start of the fourth hour of Kyron’s disappearance (12:20 pm). Desiree says her information came from law enforcement.
4th Hour: 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm Tick Tock: She left the gym around 12:40 pm and began the 18-minute drive to her home.
5th Hour: 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm Tick Tock: By 1:21 pm, she was home and uploading to Facebook some of the images she had taken that morning at the science fair. “Home” was a 5-acre wooded extremely private property. She didn’t even have curtains up, not even in the bathroom. Kyron was terrified there at night.
6th Hour: 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm Tick Tock: Both Terri and the baby were inside the house at about 2:20 pm when Kaine arrived home from work.
7th Hour: 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm Tick Tock: At about 3:35 pm, Kaine put the baby’s shoes on and began walking to the bus stop to meet Kyron. Terri followed. For the first time, Kaine learned that Kyron wasn’t on the bus and hadn’t been at school that day. All three of them went directly to the school.
A massive ground search began for a little boy “missing” from his school. That was law enforcement’s first mistake. Kyron Richard Horman was not “missing” from his school. He had been led out of the school with a doctor’s appointment excusing his absence.
Exactly. There was no need to sneak. At the sound of the bell, she marched right out of the school with Kyron beside her and the baby in front of her. A “normal” stepmother going about her “normal” duties. An important duty, too—taking her 7-year-old stepson to a doctor’s appointment. No one had the right to question her. Unfortunately, and terrifyingly so, Kyron was in the sole care, custody, and control of his stepmother.* But if Terri informed the teacher about the (false) appointment, the school knows Kyron went with Terri, meaning sneaking out was completely pointless, and everyone knew exactly who Kyron walked out with and where he was.
I suppose you could say everyone knew where Kyron was because everyone knew he was with his stepmother. (Everyone except Kaine and Desiree who thought he was in school). What no one knew, was where Kyron’s stepmother was and what her intentions were regarding Kyron. We still don’t know.
Have we mentioned Ted Bundy yet? We’ve made mention of quite a few old cases, but what brings him to mind is something I read a long time ago.
It seems along with his penchant for murdering young college co-eds, he also enjoyed shoplifting. In an interview, he described the best way to do it. After making sure he was well dressed, he would go to a department store where he would select an item of his desire and place it in a shopping cart. He would then casually make his way to the exit, push the cart out the door and walk calmly and confidently to his vehicle.
He was talking about large items like television sets and 6-foot floor plants.
Few, very few noticed. He was a risk taker, a thrill seeker. He didn’t work out every detail. He just did it. More times than not, he was successful.
Something like that. Yes. It’s one theory of many, and a good one, too. It’s safe to say she was doing something besides driving for one hour and thirty minutes. (Or maybe even longer).* Terri had the chance to kill and hide Kyron in the 90 minutes she drove on rural roads in the forested hills.
Remember her computer history showed she had been searching for logging roads in the area law enforcement placed her in, and in the days prior to Kyron’s disappearance, she was seen driving in the same areas with her red Mustang, license plate RDSQRL.
There is the location of the cell tower her known cell phone pinged around 10:45 am/11:00 am; and the witness who reported seeing the F250 parked in the Newberry Road area.
I believe there were also bank transactions that don't fit with where she said she was.
I would suggest that the “facts” as we know them which place her in an area of interest to law enforcement on that day in that timeframe seem to have little to do with soothing a child suffering from an earache.
Yes. In my opinion, establishing an alibi by shopping with a baby who, according to only Terri, wasn’t feeling well is precisely what she was doing. Nothing she purchased during that hour of frantic “shopping in the city” was ever found.* Prior to those 90 minutes she spent over an hour shopping in the city. This is supposedly to establish an alibi.
Apparently, she bought food and Motrin. I guess she ate the food and drank the Motrin then dumped the empty containers somewhere in a trash can.
Besides the stops at two different Fred Meyer stores, I think there was also a stop at a craft store, a stop for coffee, and a stop to drop off shirts that required dry cleaning. All within an hour with a supposedly sick baby. Oh, and she spent time showing Kyron's last picture to a woman she hardly knew, all the while holding a "sick" baby in her arms.
We don’t know where Kyron was at that point. She was captured on surveillance video inside the stores with the baby, but she parked far enough back in the parking lots that no surveillance cameras were covering the vehicle. At two stores. Minutes after her stepson disappeared.* But those stores are in the city, public parking lots in urban areas, and she goes into the stores with the baby, with Kyron still in the car. So she establishes her alibi for Kyron's abduction, with the victim in the car right outside?
There is also surveillance video of her driving the F250 either entering or exiting the parking lots, but that is all. The existing surveillance video does not show the passenger side of the vehicle or the back seat area where Kyron’s booster seat was.
This woman wouldn’t be the first to try to establish an alibi in a busy urban area with the recent remains of their victim still in the vehicle with them. In such cases, the victim is usually concealed in a container of some sort, perhaps a recycling bin or a large duffel bag. Perhaps covered with a tarp, rolled in a piece of carpet, or something of that nature.
Items are known to be missing from Terri’s home, but a list of those items has never been released.
This, also, offers the continuation of the set-up for the alternate theory that Kyron could have been “sold” or “passed off” to someone. If this was the reason for parking the F250 far down on the access road, the “buyer” or “middleman” could have been waiting in the truck. He would have come prepared with drugs or whatever he needed.
With only having a t-shirt on, Kyron would have been cold, damp, and uncomfortable, but he would have suspected nothing and obediently gotten in the truck when she told him to do so. Even his baby sister was present and placed in the vehicle.
If Kyron was sitting up in the F250, I believe the above was the case, and another adult was in the vehicle with him. Perhaps there was to be a “rendezvous” at one of the Fred Meyer stores.
Perhaps there was confusion over the location of the rendezvous and that is the reason for the stops at two different Fred Meyer locations.
We are allowed to speculate and theorize. It doesn't have to be perfect.
Or circumventing nothing, we can say the access road where someone parked the vehicle while she was still inside the school with Kyron and the baby appears an amazingly private location in an area Terri was familiar with. Premeditation, BTW. If the alibi she was about to attempt was to succeed, time was of the essence; the clock was ticking. Tick Tock.* To circumvent this, we can try saying she had already killed Kyron before. Since there's no real time and place to do it, we can say she took a wild chance killing him right by the school, hoping no one noticed.
Not many are saying she simply tossed sweet Kyron. I haven’t heard that. Due to the large number of searches done in so many areas, I think they would have found him, or found something of him, had that been the case. As far as I know, not even one of his Skechers turned up.* But what, then, is the point of those "missing" 90 minutes? Kyron was already dead, it wouldn't take her 90 minutes to drive to a forest, toss him, and drive back. She's creating an alibi for an hour and then leaving an unnecessary gap for 90 minutes?
She was witnessed walking through the school parking lot with Kyron and the baby around 8:55 am. Then she goes "shopping in the city". Da da da da da da. Then she has the "missing" 90 minutes. (Or maybe longer). Then she and the baby show up at the gym. What happened to Kyron?
The gap is unexplainable. It’s her weak point. It's the beginning of the unraveling leading to the situation she finds herself in today.
She mentioned in an early email that “they” thought Kyron’s kidnapping had occurred between 9 am and 10 am. A time for which she had doggedly made certain she was nearly perfectly alibied. Forget the suspicion surrounding the two Fred Meyer stops and the misery she put her 18-month-old daughter through.
Not grasping the intensity of an investigation into the disappearance of a 7-year-old, did she believe a softer alibi would suffice for the next 90-minutes (or longer) while she disposed of Kyron? Did she expect to take that long?
The gash seen later that day on her leg could indicate not everything went as smoothly as she had planned.
Did she expect to be the one doing the deed, or did she expect to be the one giving the orders?
Did the rendezvous not occur? Did she suddenly find herself in a situation she hadn’t intended but could not turn back from?
We can only speculate. But make no mistake about it, the 90-minute gap—the soft and vague alibi offered for it and the failure of three polys—justifiably opens the door to speculation. And theorizing. And interest from law enforcement.
The school and her insider’s knowledge gathered by being both an unemployed teacher and an active volunteer at Skyline was a perfect place.* For that matter, what is the point of killing Kyron at the school when you've supposedly made the school believe you were taking him to an appointment?
Kyron was only 7 years old. 7-year-old children are not left alone by supposedly responsible parents. Kaine went to work. She stayed home under the guise of caring for the two young children.
If she harmed Kyron in his own home or behind the barn or in one of the sheds outside, she understood she might as well call 911 herself and wait for them to come and arrest her. She knew the SODDI theory would never work in such a location.
A disappearance from a bowling alley? From a friend’s home? From gym care while she worked out? I say, no, no, and no. She knew she had much less knowledge of the “inner” workings of any of these places and that her “window of opportunity” would be much shorter.
But the school was perfect; she happened to know just the spot. As a plus—a few “uninformed” friends were available to offer friendly support such as the school landscaper and the school secretary; the neighbor/grandmother of a little boy in Kyron’s homeroom.
And the science fair on the 4th? That sealed the deal. The school opened before its official hours. A simple email establishing Kyron’s absence for the day was required (to appease the school), but a reason to take him there to be “dropped off” would stand (to appease Kaine, plus her reason to use the truck for the day). Crowds of proud parents and extra siblings. Extra busy teachers. (Fewer explanations needed, less scrutiny).
She easily used four hours of the six plus which were afforded by the “window of opportunity” she created with the “doctor’s appointment” email.
All in all, a good plan even though it involved some necessary risks. Almost. Tick Tock. Someday a knock might be heard at her door. Tick Tock.
At the very least, law enforcement needs to know what her involvement was.That's not even going into the case of DeDe Spicher, whose involvement would not solve a single problem that existed with the scenarios were Terri was alone.
If Terri parked the F250 in the school parking lot or on the side of Skyline Boulevard in front of the school, who moved it down on the access road while Terri was inside the school with Kyron and the baby? Did she do that? Was she alone or was she with someone else who stayed in the F250 waiting for Terri and Kyron to come out of the school? Who was that someone? What was their intent?
Where did she go when she left the lavender farm on the 4th at about 11:15 am/11:30 am? Who picked her up? How did she return by approximately 1:00 pm? Why did she leave her cell phone inside her locked vehicle that day? Did she have a burner phone at that time? What happened to it? Did she take the F250 while Terri was alibiing herself in the gym and dispose of evidence?
Besides the sexting with an old friend of Kaine’s and trying to get him to volunteer his services in yet another murder-for-hire plot, what really went on in Kaine’s house while the two of them “hung out” there for 11 days? Because these two gals were not sitting around grieving over pictures of “two” lost children.
The fact that law enforcement took the unusual step to publish her name and three photographs of her on a flyer asking if anyone had seen her with Terri, or anywhere in the vicinity, or near the F250 on June 4th speaks volumes. They don’t do things like that without a reason.
“Unofficial” immunity? What a sick prank. A little boy disappeared that day. In comparison, her money-making scheme at the expense of taxpayers doesn’t even rate. Is she so shallow that her embarrassment over it was more important to her than coming forward with what she knew about Kyron’s disappearance? Because she knew something. Maybe a lot.
She could be charged as an accomplice to murder—we don’t know and neither did/does law enforcement until they knew the extent of her involvement. Why would she accept immunity on a lesser charge only to be faced immediately with higher, more serious, charges? Oh, snap. Wait for it. She had no knowledge of what happened to Kyron all along and forced law enforcement to offer her a get-out-of-jail-free card on her smarmy little money scheme before she gave the “I’m innocent; I know nothing" statement about 7-year-old missing Kyron. Smirk, Smirk.
She may hope we swallow that, but I'm one who does not.
That was very early on in the case and the FBI was using an old generic profile from back in the days when they didn’t believe women were capable of such evil deeds.Agreed on all three, especially the last. Bring in the FBI already. They're far from perfect, but if Desiree is to be believed they were probably far closer to the truth than the MCSO.
I wonder if the FBI administered one of the three failed polygraphs on Terri. Three different administrators were used representing three different agencies. If so, I’m sure it changed their mind.
Apologies for the length of this.
