2010.07.12 - TH accused of sexual affair

[Etilema]

Okay....something is not adding up here. They are old friends from high school...they haven't been in contact until AFTER Kyron went missing???

According to this video with Mike Cook he says "Terri and Kaine live right up the street from me." Wha??????????? They were out of touch friends and he lives right down the street??? Hmmmmm.....

Check out about 1:50 in the video...

I understood it to mean that MC and TH hadn't been in contact. Meaning that KH and MC were friends, but that MC didn't really strike up a friendship with TH until after Kyron went missing.

Quoting myself! Just played the video linked earlier (www.kgw.com/news/Court-doc-Kaine-Terri-Horman-kyron-horman-contempt-sexting-98270654.html) and MC did say that he hadn't met TH or Kyron previously. So I think he was just a friend of KH's before.

Not his personal life, no. You may sleuth open issues that could pertain to this case.

lol...umm kay

The interesting thing is Terri was involved in community things,MC jumped right into this community need to help find Kyron.People usually don't jump into the forefront of things,unless it's something they normally do.Having sons around the same age and Kyron was involved in swimming classes,soccer and cubscouts,they lived close,I find it kind of hard to believe they've never met or seen each other before.

I don't see this as any kind of sting operation, why would he be out there doing interviews with kgw? That would be super-unprofessional.

I think he is a flake who wanted to be important and be a part of all of the drama of Kyron going missing, and probably volunteered to organize some of the stuff for searchers, or whatever. And Terri probably did some flirting initially and then brought it up a notch after Kaine left her. She needs to have someone on her side, needed help getting groceries in, etc...I think she is just using him and he is a (unusual person).

Playing devil's advocate - Michael Cook could easily have been at the house and taken pictures covertly or without TMH's knowledge.

I also find it odd that KH's attorney is stating that they didn't know each other until after Kyron vanished, and their affair began on 6/30. Not out of the realm of possibility, no, but the whole thing seems a bit fishy to me.

I'd be looking into how well Kaine and Michael know each other, actually, rather than TMH's alleged activities with MC.

That is what I am wondering about too the timing too, and how good of friends were K and M??

Personally I think the KH's lawyer should have not gone public with this latest info. Sure it sways what the public might think of TH but what does that do to help find Kyron??? Seems like KH and DY are more interested in character assassination than finding their child.

 

[txsvicki]

LE used the lawn guy to try and get info from Terri, so they might get this one to find out what he can as well. Both men have most likely been interrogated for hours and been accused of everything in the book, so they're probably willing to help. I figure there was more than sexting going on. A person wouldn't expect a man to kill for them if they hadn't even slept together. Sexting would be a lure and a way to keep them interested if any of this is true.

<snip>

Kaine Horman and Michael Cook, 37, both attended Shoreline High School north of Seattle where they both played football. Cook was one of a few of Kaine's friends from high school who ended up moving to Portland. Kaine had tried to reconnect with him once Cook moved to Portland, but they never did until Cook showed up at their home after Kyron's disappearance.

Along with two others, Cook, who is divorced with a son, helped organize the first vigil for Kyron. He was later seen at Kaine and Terri's home after Kaine moved out, picking up the mail and bringing in food and drink to Terri, her friends and relatives. He told The Oregonian he was just trying to be supportive in a time of need.

When asked why he was spending so much time at the home shortly after Kaine had moved out, Cook said of Terri, "I'm better friends with her now. I just care about them and want their son to be found."

I knew they were friends from high school, but apparently they had never reconnected since the move to Portland. I still think it's odd that he appeared out of nowhere.

This shows how far off the 'crazy train' track this case has gone. What the he77 is this woman thinking and where is Kyron??!!

If this was a sting, I can just hear the instructions they gave him:

Okay, Mike, here's what we want you to do. Terri likes attention, so give her attention. Let her know you're interested, nevermind the fact that you went to high school with Kaine and she's suspected with hurting/murdering a child. Don't even think about that. Just make her think you want her, yeah. That'll work.

Oh, and she loves using her cellphone, so if she sexts you, then sext her back and keeping it going for as long as possible. We wants pics and text. No, really. We do.

And those documents, the RO. She'll have that. Even though it's clearly against the law, we're advising you to make sure you get a look at them, and oh, show it to a friend or two as well. We know how it sounds or looks, but we're LE telling you this, so it's okay to do. You won't get into trouble, we promise.

Okay, so you know what to do now? Seduce her. Get pics and texts with her. See those documents. Buddy, you don't know what a gold mine you're getting for us. This is going to be awesome! Um, er, we mean, very helpful in finding Kyron!

Just remember, the more you get on her, the more we'll have and the faster we'll put her away. We know you can do it! And no, no one will suspect this is a sting at all. No one will see it coming, especially Terri.

As much I see hints of it, I really don't think this was a sting. Sexts - pics and text - coming on to a crazy maybe murderer, and clearly breaking the law? LE wants facts, not tabloid fodder. And I don't even think Kaine would go this far, I really don't.

 

[KeyboardCat]

I have a quick question, if a post of mine has been deleted by a moderator, have I done something wrong? I hope I'm not in trouble. My post was regarding Terri's motive, if guilty. Is there subject matter there we can't touch?

I apologize ;;

given what I believe to be her personality type, maybe she approached him when she was getting *we're on to you* vibes from the rest of the parents. Maybe he told LE about that, and maybe that's when a plan was put in place. He says he didn't sleep with her, there's no allegation that he put himself out there in a majorly significant way, like sending explicit photos of himsel. And he has, apparently, been very forthcoming. Plus, he did it all on his cellie. Why not get on the laptop? LE is not wanting to have to look at two devices?

At the press conference with the four parents that was an uncomfortable situation for all of them, I thought that TMH's body language reeked of sexuality. I was too :ashamed0005: to post about it and PMd a member to ask about his/her impressions of the presser to see if anyone else noticed this.

Yes, I saw fear and discomfort in TMH's behaviors, but when she rubbed up against Kaine, I felt that this woman exuded sex. The movement was inappropriate under the circumstances but she seemed unable to control her impulses. While the other three parents were expressing shock and sadness regarding the disappearance of this little boy, TMH wanted... well you know what I mean Frankly, I'm not the least bit surprised to learn about Terri's extra-curricular "activities". jmo

Just here to vouch for BDE's awesomeness. She nailed the body lingo - just nailed it! :highfive:

I picked up on nothing other than thinking perhaps Terri was uncomfortable wishing she'd gone to the bathroom. :angel:

I am sure you are fine, but here is the list of mods, ask one of them.

IIRC, TH was adopted. Maybe because of her bio parents giving her up, she had a need to feel wanted and this may have played a part in the decisions she's made throughout her life. JMO

Do you have a link for that information? Maybe as an adoptee she felt she was second best growing up ... etc etc. and doesn't like the second fiddle routine at the best of times.

 

[newone]

Her ugly coping seems to mirror Casey's, but Terri is almost 20 years older! jmo

....and a good 100 pounds heavier.....her low self esteem could mean she's a desperado cougar

On HLN today a TH said they had something going on together years ago and have just recently 'rekindled' that relationship. That was the word used on TV. Knowing now about her sexting and sending him sex photos of herself you would almost have to believe they are taking off where they left off, right? I mean that would be quite a jump if it wasn't a sexual relationship before, eh?


It just T's me off that while we have imagined her all spooked out and helpless except for the power of her attny that backs her up, she has had her mind on sex and further retaliation to Kaine because he hurt her so much. Real, but unbelievable IMO

 

[SoCalSleuth]

Something is not right about this guy, about him showing up after decades, about him taking such a close role with the vigil, family, etc. after no contact for years, and then having a relationship with Terri after Kaine moves out. Hinky meter on overtime!

What cha thinking SoCalSleuth? To me it sounds like he was setting her up to spill some beans. It is beyond my imagination to believe she finds this guy . . . . . . :angel: He must have built up her ego or something. IMO

 

[winterrose]

I can't find where that white truck was parked at the end of someone's road around there,can someone give me the street again,please?Actually it was twice wasn't it?

If it wasn't set up,how crazy is that,Kaine's high school friend hanging out with Terri and showing his loyalty to her,instead of Kaine,odd.
