I am reminded of the Dru Sjodin family. Dru was kidnapped from a mall parking lot after finishing her shift there (she was 22). She went missing in November and wasn't found until April. In interviews during those five months, her parents and family said they all wanted Dru "home." They never talked about her being dead, but kept using the word "home."
After her body was found, her family talked about not knowing for five months if she was alive or dead, but they knew the odds of her being found alive were not good. They just couldn't bring themselves to say "We think she's dead," especially in the small chance she still could be alive. Hundreds showed up to her funeral and Dru's family said that Dru was now "home."
I think Kyron's family is in a similar situation. They know the possibility of him being found alive is very small. I hate to write that and I have hope for a happy outcome.
I agree Tony knows, he's LE himself and knows the statistics and also am sure he's been kept abreast by LE on whats going on. Thats why he gets that loo on his face when Desiree says she believes hes alive out there somewhere. I know that some kids have been found alive some time later, but that is so rare.
I don't blame Desiree and Kaine for saying they think he's still alive and they want to being him home. But in their heart of hearts, I suspect they know the odds he is alive and being held by some nefarious person are about nil. But to believe otherwise is to admit their child is dead, and that's just somewhere they cannot go in their minds. They want him brought home, they keep repeating. To me, that means they want him returned alive to them or they want his body so they can lay him to rest. JMO. I feel for them and pray Kyron is still alive.
Who would be foolish enough to be keeping this boy feeding him. etc, for Terri and WHY? If someone was keeping him, they realize I am sure that they are in as much doo doo do as Terri and all others involved. Why would someone do that? Terri has no money so it couldn't be for financial gain.
IMO anyone crooked enough to agree to hold a child captive, even for a little while, would get scared after all this time and Terri has not talked, or DeDe, and here is this mystery person left holding the bag, which is Kyron. I think someone like that wold have no problem eliminating Kyron and getting the heck out of dodge.
So anyway I sadly believe that Kyron is deceased, and that Terri was very clever where she put his body. I wish LEE would really pressure her, as long as she can sit up at her parents house and keep her mouth shut, she will. Is this supposed to go on- forever? Even if they can't arrest her, can't they interrogate the crap out of her? Aren't they allowed to question her with her atty present, or is her atty allowed to say "my client will answer NO questions, period."
