I mentioned this in another thread, but I think it's semi-important to my post so I'll mention it again, but I took a self-imposed week off from this case. Having said that, coming back to an even more convoluted mess than I left and still no Kyron, makes me wonder if this case is headed in the right direction.
If Terri had help and there were multiple scenes, if you will, with regard to incapacitation, handing off Kyron, and murder, there's a lot of potential for evidence. Even eliminating the murder aspect and assuming she stashed him for whatever reason, there is going to be evidence, and more than her venting to a friend or whoever that the kid annoys her or pisses her off in some e-mail. LE is not going to refrain from arresting Terri out of the goodness of their hearts. IMHO, at this point in time, there is no better way to put pressure on Terri than to arrest her. At this point, she's been convicted in the court of public opinion, she's lost the meal ticket/man she either supposedly hated and wanted to get away from hence the MFH or loved so much that she abducted and possibly killed Kyron in a delusional attempt to retain her husband's full affection, she's lost her daughter, her home, her financial stability, her friends, and the list goes on. IMHO, TH has nothing more to lose except her freedom. If LE had the evidence, she'd be in custody, IMHO.
And, round I come to my initial thought/point -- I find it increasingly difficult to believe that so many people could be involved and yet there isn't enough evidence to arrest anyone. There's some rumbling about the landscaper. Now there's rumbling about multiple friends. Just how many people are there in Portland willing to help in harming a child directly and/or indirectly, and how in the world did Terri Horman seem to hone in on all of them in rather average places?
LE readily admits they have no murder scene, and yet how likely is it that Kyron is alive? TH is the only direction LE is headed, and they've searched everything associated with her that day, and yet there's not a drop of blood? No other fluids corroborating a murder or death occurred?
Now LE has these friends who are supposedly withholding evidence and/or not cooperating according to DY and KH. Where is the evidence, though?
In this day and time, with the precision and advances in technology, how likely is it that this woman or these people could pull off an abduction and possibly a murder without leaving behind a shred of evidence?
And how likely is it that this laundry list of characters are involved and yet no one has misstepped in nearly eight weeks and there is no physical evidence of any of this?
IMHO, there are aspects of this case that simultaneously require Terri to be both too stupid and too smart, too cunning and devious and yet ridiculously simpleminded for all of it to be true.
And then there's Terri's friends and their willingness to assist in her not-even-alleged-according-to-LE crimes. She randomly meets a landscaper who dabbles in MFH on the side? An accomplice in child abduction and possibly murder at the gym? Really? I know Terri should look guilty as hell, and through a certain lens she does, and through another lens I see a woman who probably has issues with lying and using sex as a substitute for affection and maybe she loved Kyron and he annoyed her and pissed her off sometimes and maybe this whole thing is a perfect storm and there is some pedophile out there rubbing his hands together, not quite believing his luck.
The latter is what makes me poke holes in the foregone conclusion that Terri and her haphazard gang of thugs are guilty.
