Question about possible thread: Were TH & DY really friends?
I'm very frustrated to keep hearing *and* reading on every newscast and TV show and every online media source that TH and DY were friends before Kyron was even born. Also frustrating to me is the repeated news that TH knew and helped take care of Kyron from the time he was "three days old."
The first time I read all this was in an Oregon Live article about "The Blended Family." TH's friends have also claimed it is true -- however, DY stated very clearly in the media interviews with Kaine that she was *NOT* friends with TH.
Please see bolded quote below from WS Timeline. I wasn't sure how to directly quote it from the WS Case Calendar to this thread, so I bolded instead.:innocent:

Updated and corrected time-line - thanks fellow WS's. time-line marriage, separations, births
Taken from article in Oregonian and WW(no longer working)
2004 - Desiree goes to Canada for treatment of a life-threatening kidney failure.
2004 - Kaine brought in Terri and son to care for Kyron. (corrected via statement bio mom made about not knowing Terri).
So, WS has clearly corrected the original incorrect Oregonian info about the friendship. I'm proud about this due to being a member here:blushing: and frustrated that no one else in the media seems to have done so.
To me, DY's words, tone, and demeanor clearly indicated she was *not* friends with TH. Did the original erroneous information from the Oregonian come from TH's "friends" or TH's mother?
I would like to see this misinformation cleared up -- #1. because it has been refuted by DY and #2. every time I read it or hear someone say it, the "long friendship" (error) statement seems to be used to cast a negative light on DY -- IMHO.
So, does anyone else have an issue with this? Does anyone else have information about how DY and TH came to know each other and how to correct this constantly repeated error in the media?
TIA
The *original* source for the mis-information was in the Oregonian
Kyron Horman's blended family: Friends describe a close ...
Jun 19, 2010 ... Terri Moulton Horman and Desiree Young were friends before Kyron was born.
http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2010/06/kyron_hormans_blended_family_f.html
and in Willamette Week.
Every other article about the family background that I have read seems to draw heavily from this original Oregonian "blended family" article. As time has unfolded, it certainly seems that the "friends" who provided quite a bit of (mis)information for this article were TH's friends.
I *know* I clearly heard DY say (on a 6/25/10 video with Kaine) she didn't know TH before Kyron was born. I'm certain the video was the longer one done locally by KOIN, Channel 6 News. It seems that video has been edited now and I am going to call the station and find out if the original is still available.
Meanwhile, last night CharlestonGal posted the following interesting observation about this situation.
And then Donjeta provided this relevant post:
Many posters have wanted a link to the interview and so do I!:banghead: Please help if you can.
I know this is a long post -- however I wanted to hopefully sum up and clarify something about this whole confusing case
Several other posters made great comments, additions, etc., since last night, however I decided not to include all so I wouldn't take up a whole page on the thread.:dance::slap:
