2010.07.22 Terri has cooperated with all requests per LE (Staton)

[cluciano63]

speaking of Le having me befuddled what is your take on this statement?

Are they going to arrest TH as she has co-operated enough they feel they have enough on her (the trial ready investigation) or have they been secretly investigating someone else while the spotlight has been on TH..

"With so much time passed and few leads on his whereabouts, Multnomah County District Attorney Michael Schrunk told our sister station KATU News Thursday, that even if there is no arrest imminent in Kyron's disappearance, his staff are now preparing an investigation that is trial ready for when an arrest occurs."

Thanks I had not seen this. This does not seem to be saying that any arrest is in the near future, I really think they need to find Kyron. I think if they had a solid witness saying she left with Kyron, they might be able to charge her, but otherwise, it is going to be very difficult.

bbm... and I beat my already dead horse that I am riding... but this sums up completely what I believe. I think they have their who, what, when, where, and why but they have no Kyron.. so they are building a circunstantial case. MOO

Maybe since TH has an attorney, the attorney has told LE either show me your proof, charge/arrest my client or back off before I bring a suit against you. Slander?

I agree w/scotslass, this case changes so much I can't keep up with whos on first.

If I recall, LE hasn't said anything that Terry's attorney can sue them for. And they don't have to show him anything unless she has been charged. I think they might know she left with him but can't prove what she did with him after.

Confusing, isn't it?
I guess they're building a case... but against who? And for what crime?

just a guess: (ooooo.... nurse is gonna go there! but you asked LOL)

Terri Moulton Hormon

kidnapping
murder
attempted murder (murder for hire)

If they plan to try a murder case without a body, they have to wait a while, at least with adults. With children, perhaps not quite as long, as it is not an option that they left on their own. Still, it will be difficult if they do not have an eyewitness (a very good one) who saw Terri leave with Kyron. That with the other possible bits and pieces (appointment confusion, etc...) could be enough to force a murder charge at some point...but I doubt it would be this soon.

Maybe they do... maybe someone has remembered seeing her with Kyron in the truck with her after the time she left. We would not necessarily hear about it, because sometimes LE likes to spring little facts on us at the last minute.
But you're absolutely right. Unless they can prove that she took Kyron with her, or they find his body with some long red hairs on his clothing... I'm afraid they are not going to be able to charge her. There has to be some solid proof, other than suspicions.

 

[Aedrys]

This case is driving me to insanity...LE and the DA are double talking like politicians. I just want to shake them and say "GIVE A STRAIGHT ANSWER, DAMMIT!"

Maybe we'll finally get something at the hearing tomorrow...I feel hopeful like my dog when I'm making food in the kitchen and there's the possibility that some may fall to floor, you know?

 

[cluciano63]

But if what the DA said in that article today is true, they don't seem to have much to go on and are settling in for the long haul...

Also, even long red hairs on Kyron might not be enough...they would likely be on Kyron anyway if she had helped him dress or handled his clothes, etc...family DNA and hair is generally not useful to prosecution.

So in one corner, we have Tony, Desiree & Kaine saying that Terri has not been cooperating with LE.

In the other corner, we have LE saying Terri has cooperated.

Who are you going to believe? The parents who are desperate to have someone to blame for the disappearance of their child or the organization that has the power to arrest the person who is responsible but has not yet arrested anyone?

:waitasec:

If Terri hasn't been cooperating as Kaine, Desiree & Tony say, then why would LE say she has been? I don't understand this at all. :banghead:

So...the strategy is...

The cops are the "good cops" and the non-cops (DY, KH and TY (except he's a cop, too)), are the "bad cops."

Staton later told reporters not to take Thursday's action — in which the prosecutors needed money and his office didn't — as a sign that an arrest was near.

Staton said investigators have not found any items that belong to Kyron, and again declined to name the stepmother, Terri Moulton Horman, as a person of interest in the investigation.

[cluciano63]

Is that another bit of news...nothing of Kyron's has been found. So that should take care of the glasses rumor?

It also makes me think they are letting the media and public know that they will be announcing an "in it for the long haul" kind of thing tomorrow...

I'm gonna be inconsolable. You think we won't get a live Kyron back?:banghead:

Is this for TH's sake do they want to surprise her with an arrest? Or is there no arrest in the near future?? Despite what Le are saying about Th not being a POI they sure are putting a lot of resources into someone who is co-operating but isn't IMO...

Remember this 3wks ago?

"WW has learned from a source at the Multnomah County Corrections Division that there’s been a plan circulating for about two weeks among corrections staff in case Terri Moulton Horman is arrested in connection with the disappearance of her 7-year-old stepson Kyron Horman.

The source says the plan — in the event of the stepmother’s arrest — is for staff to notify immediately Corrections Health Director Gayle Burrow as well as mental health staff. The idea, the source says, of notifying mental health staff is so they could perform an evaluation of Terri Moulton Horman and put her on a suicide watch, if she is taken into custody.

To be clear, this is just a plan."

Hmmmm... well, let's say that they have tried to question her at length, every day or so. Let's say they show up at her door and start bullying her a bit, "Tell us what you did with Kyron." Let's say that they tell her they have witnesses who saw Kyron with her after she left the school. She's getting scared, she's calling her lawyer and crying.

(I do not believe this is what they're doing, BUT just throwing out a what-if.)

He very well could threaten them with a lawsuit, even if it doesn't hold water. People have sued law enforcement for harrassment before, and won. And this is why they do not name her as a suspect. They can't, because defense attornies have managed to make LE's job 100 times harder than it needs to be. They have to dot all their i's and cross all their t's, and get it right.

Well, it figures. I'm having surgery tomorrow and will likely spend the day moaning in pain. I'm bringing my laptop in the hopeful event that I am able to use it. I will likely miss any news though.

Aw!!!

You'll be in my prayers, hun.

Don't be brave, ask for the morphine!

I am waiting for a further elaboration from LE that Terri Moulton Horman is COOPERATING. I personally DOUBT IT! I will take a bite out of my fedora if they change their wording tomorrow. But I bet I won't be eating not a single bite! MOO

I think that Terri cooperated while she was living with Kaine but once he got that RO all gloves were off and she lawyered up. I really doubt any cooperation since that point unless it is through smoke signals since we haven't heard of any meetings between her and LE. Also, just because she may have been cooperating with LE at one time doesn't mean she's been truthful with them. It seems to me that they were having a hard time confirming things that she was saying, even though she was talking.

And IMO that is part of their established protocol, not something they made up just for Terri.
