Kyron Horman General Discussion thread 2023 - 2026

[rosesfromangels]

There is a church across the street from the school. IIRC, investigators set up a headquarters there during the initial searches, but I'm going from memory here. Yes, Skyline was K-8 at the time of Kyron's disappearance, which means older students were also attending.

Somehow I missed that there were 14 year olds at that school mixed with very young ones. I hope that fact has been thoroughly explored. 14 year olds can be very mean, and their brains are still being formed. As such, they don't often think things through. It is not out of the realm of possibility that Kyron was picked on - he was an easy target with his small frame and poor eyesight.

I would be interested to know if any of the 12-14 year olds during that time frame have gone on to have serious criminal offenses. This connection should not be dismissed, but considered IMO. That box needs to be checked.

Hi. Here is a link to the google map of church

If you click on the picture of the church and maneuver the arrow on the screen, you'll see the access road where posters indicated the truck was parked. Hope this is helpful.

That is a great question about the 14yo and seeing what they’ve been up to! I wonder if there is a way to get a class list?

I’m hoping that faculty was interviewed and cleared, but what about extended staff such as janitors and even frequent visitors like vendors. I’d like to know if anyone from outside the school aside from the parents had a scheduled service visit, or delivery that day

From my memory of Science Fair, there were no sign ins and soooo many people everywhere, impossible to backtrack and find everyone even the next day

Yes faculty was interviewed and it’s claimed they all were cleared. However PPS has a long history of not doing the best background checks and it’s been uncovered a lot of sex offenders worked there in various positions including 2010. The problem is still not fixed.

Holy smokes!!!! Where is the district supervisor in all this? This is beyond outrageous.
That said, you have illustrated why it's important to keep an open mind in this case and look at ALL the possibilities.

Could it be possible that an older kid could've seen that Kyron was doing a project on tree frogs and led Kyron outside under the guise of looking for tree frogs to make his project stand out more and just left Kyron there to get lost and succumb to the elements?

While anything is possible, I speculate Kyron's disappearance was far more premeditated and sinister.
He was an easy target.

[rosesfromangels]

I am now quite interested in this church across the street that has been mentioned. Does anyone know if any of the church offices had clear sight to the school playground? Second, I would certainly hope that no RSO's were working there, and that that has been checked.

That is one theory. No one was paying attention to who was coming and going. No doors were monitored.

Hi rosesfromangels. Below is the google map link to the church address. If you move the arrow at the bottom around, you'll see it is directly across from the school as well as the access road where posters indicate the white truck was parked. Further, if you use advancedbackgroundchecks or another address search engine, you'll see those individuals connected to the church. I did recognize one name associated with both the school and church which is the reason I wonder how well it was searched and individuals questioned/looked into.

IN my experience, the older kids were actually more protective of the younger children or children that may not be able to protect themselves as much. My kids go to a school where all the age groups K - 12 are all in the same school building but different areas and hallways depending on their age and grade.

And that's just the ones that have been caught and that have been convicted. That's not counting everyone that has committed a sex offense. Those that haven't been caught yet.

Mostly true.
But there are some older kids who dominate someone weaker.
KH not being reported absent really prevented an adequate search.
