Does anyone have another link for the Nightline video? Hulu doesn't work from my IP for some reason.
And red hair dye?
In the Nightline piece, Desiree asserts that she knew the Inquiry Expo (aka Science Fair) was supposed to run from 8 to 10, and that she had thought Terri intended to be there that whole time. This appears to be what clued her in immediately in her first phone conversation with Terri that something was off. This is potentially fairly damning if Terri was indeed expected by the school and by her family to be there to act as one of the parent chaperones for the smaller groups, but instead left. This would explain the seeming confidence of the teacher/school that they left together. I.e., both were expected, not just Kyron, both were missing, therefore, Kyron left in her care. I concede it still could be coincidental and is not proof that she was involved, but if this is the case it would shake my fence pretty hard. JMO.
Getting her hair done! I hope she realizes I'm not sleeping too well since Kyron's been missing.
It's important to look your best.
Did she lie about her hair color, too?
Some of us have wondered why someone wouldn't have noticed a woman with a big mop of red hair...and this article makes me think her hair may have been different color on June 4- maybe a strawberry blonde or a carrot shade.
On the questionnaire, there are the familiar pictures of Terri in the Kyron tee-shirt, labeled thusly:
Photos of Terri Horman since 6/4/10
We speculated some about why the emphasis on "since 6/4/10."
Here is a recent comment from Desiree about Terri's hair:
“She’s talking about her hair that she just got done, and they put highlights in, it turned out a little too orange,” Young recalled in a tape-recorded interview with WW Thursday evening. “I can’t get up every morning, put on my makeup or function even remotely normally, and she’s talking about going and getting her hair done.”

Here's what I wonder- what color was it when she was seen at Skyline on the morning of June 4? Was it the henna-ish shade that we see in the pictures? Or was it the one with orange highlights?

I won't pretend to understand Desiree's or Kaine's unique suffering about all of this, but many posters here have commented about Desiree's appearance in the many press conferences and Q&A sessions since Kyron's disappearance. If you have naturally curly or wavy hair, you know it takes some time and effort to straighten it. Desiree has certainly tended to her physical appearance since June 4. It's been reported that Kaine has been going for runs to deal with the stress, etc.
IMHO, Desiree and Kaine are setting themselves up to be criticized by constantly ragging on Terri, and how is that helping Kyron anyway? Honest, innocent people grieve differently. Some people laugh, tell jokes, find a topic to distract them, etc. Not all women cry and not all men are stoic. Some members here are already beginning to question Desiree about allowing Kyron to be raised by someone she didn't trust, obviously didn't like, etc. Fair or not, the more Desiree and Kaine are critical of Terri, the more they open themselves up to criticism.
The more people reading about Kyron's disappearance who grieve in a way that is atypical, the more people are going to be distracted by this peripheral information.
If they want the focus to remain on Kyron, they should stop talking about Terri, IMHO.
respectfully, I don't think they really give a carp about what anyone else thinks about them. And I believe THEY truly believe that keeping the focus on bringing Kyron home means keeping the focus on TH. They are convinced they are correct and, therefore, could not care less about what kind of *impression* they might leave with the general public. I don't think they're too worried about tarnishing their own images or any one else's image, right now. Frankly, I wouldn't be either. In fact, I can imagine that my words and actions against someone who I thought has something to do with kidnapping or killing my child wouldn't be anywhere near as "restrained." jmoo
If they don't care about the general public or the opinion of the general public, then why are they addressing the general public through the media weekly?
Respectfully, the general public may be the group that helps resolve this case. If the key to resolution is a member of the general public and they view what Desiree and Kaine are doing as mudslinging, without much or any evidence to back up their claims, that member of the general public may not be as vigilant as they once were and may overlook the very thing that brings Kyron home.
A variation, with a different set of interpretations, I think, would be that TMH is not telling the whole truth and nothing but the truth.It's probably more accurate to say that KH and DY believe that TMH is lying. I say this only because they (and we) do not know what happened to Kyron so TMH may very well have lied about what happened that day but no one knows what the exact truth is (yet).
