This point cannot be overstated.
The evidentiary landscape available to the public is remarkably limited, and this demands intellectual humility before drawing conclusions.
Consider what we're actually working with. MCSO's official language is precise: Terri Horman reported last seeing Kyron walking toward his classroom. This is an unverified claim, not a confirmed event. No law enforcement statement has ever corroborated this occurred as described.
We have no direct access to testimony from Kyron's teacher regarding attendance or morning observations, from school administrative staff, from the bus driver, or from classmates and their parents present at the science fair that morning. This witness vacuum is significant.
The vast majority of publicly circulated "facts" originate from civil litigation documents that are adversarial by nature, media reporting on unnamed sources, and third-party accounts and speculation that have calcified into accepted narrative over fifteen years. What we don't have is equally telling: official interview transcripts, forensic reports, surveillance analysis, or investigative findings of any kind.
An open case means evidence is protected, and appropriately so. But it also means that public certainty about any sequence of events that morning remains fundamentally unfounded. We should be cautious about treating secondhand information as established fact when the primary sources remain entirely inaccessible.
