Yep, be angry at Terri....Why is it that she is not talking?
There are plenty of murderers who were charged and convicted who never confessed, testified, or gave any valuable information through speaking. LE had to use forensics and other means (like cell phone pings, credit cards, etc) to get them convicted. I doubt Terri will ever say a word unless she's offered a big plea bargain. Since I can't see Terri opening her mouth, I don't think there's any chance of getting a conviction on kidnapping and/or murder charges until they find Kyron.
The only evidence they have against Terri will never stand alone in the courtroom if they tried to charge her with murder (Unfortunately, I do believe Kyron is no longer with us.) Yes, Terri having alcohol problems, sexting right after Kyron went missing, and the MFH plot all point to Terri's true character. When you also consider that Terri was one of the last people to see Kyron and children are most likely killed by someone close to them, Terri seems the most likely perpetrator. However, until LE gets a confession from Terri (fat chance) or finds Kyron's body with DNA, fingerprints, and other forensic evidence, I don't see how a jury would convict her just based on things she did/say before and after his disappearance. The emails, sexting, MFH, would also "add" to the trial, to show the jury what type of person the defendant is, but it's not enough by its self.
Well, Portland is a big city and I'm sure if you asked around, you can find lots of intelligent people who think the cops are just as brilliant for keeping their mouths totally shut as well. I believe they know exactly what happened and are just waiting for the right moment to arrest her.
Mark Klass just said a scary thing on NG, though he was talking about Hasanni Campbell. He said if only one person knows where the child is, it can be impossible to find him, a tiny body in a huge world.
I haven't stopped by Kyron's threads in quite a while. Namely because there really hasn't been a lot going on specific to him that was being reported on for quite some time IMHO.
Many members here will have a "pet case" that either brought them here or keeps them here. Many members have an area of this website that they spend most of their time and interest on...unidentified, cold cases..etc.
Mine happens to be the archives for missing. Although I haven't posted there in a long time, I check there first when I sign on to this site.
Just a feeling I have and of course I could be very wrong but given that when I stand back and look at the big picture of Kyron's story he really isn't so different "big picture wise" from the hundreds and hundreds of missing children that we have in our archives.
All may still be being worked by a detective but over time they are what we the public call cold.
Unless Terri opens her mouth. This child isn't coming home unless someone stumbles across him. (I do respect there are those that believe that he is alive) I don't though. I do believe he is deceased and he was murdered by his stepmother. (she might have had help who knows?).
I don't want it to be cold. But I think it probably is a cold investigation already by LE definition, no matter what they say to the media. Just from having read so many other cases that match Kyron's in a big picture way.
Bless his little heart. All JMHO.
Zahra Baker's step mom was brought up on bigamy charges, maybe to keep her in jail longer maybe not. But in my opinion Murder for Hire> bigamy. It is my opinion that IF something had panned out from the MFH then TH would have already been arrested for it, if for no other reason than to shake her up, alone is a cold cement cell with "bertha" might do what others are unable to do.
Just saying, aside from the MFH, we have a soon to be ex-husband painting us a picture of his soon to be ex-wife; while I am not saying that what has been said about her is a lie, I am saying that there is encouragement to paint the horriblest picture possible of her. (TH isn't a victim in my opinion just trying to see this from a different point of view).
Maybe there is no news because the divorce and search for kyron are so dependent on one another that someone other than TH being guilty just "can't" be possible.
