I would love to know what all TH said when she got to the school that day. At least I don't think we've heard except for her having the secretary call DY. Did she come in already calling him missing? Did she ask to search the school or talk to his teacher? Was she angry he went missing on the schools watch and that she wasn't notified? What about what she said to Kaine when Kyron wasn't on the bus? I would think the possibility of him simply having missed the bus would have been thrown out. Did they then call the school and ask if that was the case or just automatically decided he was "missing"?
(1) As far as Terri being the one to tell the secretary to call I don't think it was ever made clear. Desiree stated that at 4:25 she received a call at work from Susan Hall the school secretary that stated, "I was told to call you since you are Kyron's emergency contact." Desiree said at that time she said yes, I am the contact, I am Kyron's mother. Then Susan Hall proceeded to tell her that Kyron was missing, Desiree questioned how could Kyron be missing and asked Susan was Terri there, secretary replied yes and Desiree hung up and immediately called Terri(I'm assuming on her cell) at which time Terri explained that she had gone to the Science Fair with Kyron that morning stayed for a few mins then walked Kyron ALMOST to his classroom where she waved good bye. Desiree says that at that very moment Terri's story "didn't strike me right" and that she had gut instinct from that very moment that Terri was involved.
(2) I don't know of any info that tells us what Terri's reaction was when 1st arriving at the school(after finding he had not been there all day)... Sure would like to know..
(3) When Kaine, baby K and Terri arrived at the bus stop Kaine said that the driver immediately told them that Kyron was not on the bus(he also stated that Kyron was the only child that got off at that particular bus stop).
Kaine said that at first being told this by the driver he didn't panic, rather assumed Kyron did not take the bus and was waiting at the school for them to pick him up there.(I wish the reporter would have followed up by asking was this something Kyron regularly or occasionally did, not taking the bus home and having them come to get him from the school.. but oh well it wasn't asked).. Kaine said that the driver immediately called the school from her cell phone as Kaine, Terri and baby K stood there. The driver then relayed the info that according to Kyron's teacher he had never made it to class and had been marked absent early that morning.. At that time is when Kaine says the panic started and they immediately went to Skyline School... And then you have what I stated above in (1) with Desiree's acct of the phone call from secretary, etc, etc. We don't know the first reactions of Terri or Kaine upon arriving back at the school..
I would like to know and do find it quite odd that from the time the bus driver informs them that Kyron had not been seen since first thing that morning and we know they then proceeded to the school. Why at or during that time did Kaine nor Terri call Desiree to let her know what was going on? This strikes me as odd:waitasec:. Why would they wait until at the school and allow the school secretary to make that call(as I said we don't know who requested for the secretary to call Desiree, the secretary only states she was told to call Desiree because she was listed as Kyron's emergency contact) That, to me, sounds more like a direction given by school staff to the secretary to contact Kyron's emergency #. To me, that doesn't sound like she was asked or told by Kaine or Terri to give Kyron's mom a call, or the secretary would have said something like "Kaine and/or Terri wanted me to call you to let you know what's happened concerning your son", but from the secretary's wording to Desiree it sounded more as a school formality that was being followed per the principal or whomever in charge...
Why wouldn't Kaine or Terri have personally called Kyron's mom Desiree?
I know some may say, well, they thought they'd soon thereafter find Kyron therefore no need to panic Desiree 4 and half hours away. But it sounded to me that Terri was nearby when secretary made the phone call and wouldve known the call was being placed. And her or Kaine wouldve thought it best to be coming from one of them rather a stranger informing her of such a traumatic event.
ETA- Of course it is just specualtion on my part when I say it seemed Terri was nearby when the call was made. Maybe just sounded that way by the way Desiree told it. So, we don't know for fact that Terri was "right there" by secretary when call was placed to Desiree. Just wanted to make that clear
