Kyron's parents' statements, interviews

[Trident]

Threat?? Naw, I believe it was a promise, and I don't blame them one little bit by threatening a civil lawsuit JMO

If TH, DDS, and other "friends" are vindicated, even years down the road, I wonder how many other civil lawsuits may be filed? In my opinion this case has gotten so far out of hand a LOT of lives have been harmed. If my life had been harmed, and I was innocent, yeah I'd sue for sure.

My opinion only

 

[cypress]

I'm afraid it may be that LE has told them they believe Kyron is dead.

I agree, or at least they told them that in all likelihood he is dead.

Also, I believe LE probably did have a gentle, come to Jesus sit-down with them and gently asked them to refrain from being so accusatory in the press, specifically with DS. For weeks, nothing, and then all of a sudden DS is in the picture and there's the threat of a lawsuit if she doesn't cooperate, and that was just a hot mess, IMHO. Threatening those who may have peripheral knowledge with a lawsuit isn't the kind of atmosphere that makes people want to come forward with information, IMHO. LE had to realize this even if DY and KH didn't.

 

[lynmaree]

I will say, that I keep playing in my head this awesome fantasy that they have found Kyron alive and have been reunited with him and have been spending time with him in a secret location. And today, at the press conference, they will be there, with Kyron in arms.

Yeah, I'm aware there is about a 0.000001% chance of this happening. But it's nice to dream, isn't it?

OMG this would be such a miracle!!! I think I would sob with joy for days on end.....I agree that there is probably almost .000000000001% chance but what a great fantasy!

Threatening a civil lawsuit against DS was justified, IMO. The heinousness of a missing or murdered child warrants the threat of a civil suit, particularly if you consider that it is very likely that LE told them that DS was not being forthcoming with LE. Sure, the threat of a civil suit creates a hot mess, but sometimes a hot mess is what is needed to put pressure on people to tell what they know. It very well could be that LE suggested to them to threathen DS with a civil suit. We may not know until much further down the road, if ever.

 

[mydailyopinions]

I'm thinking that either the grim reality has set in and they have been told to lay low or
they are doing something very behind the scenes.

Can anyone tell me why news crews aren't camped outside the homes of people like Terri's parents, or even Kaine. Not that I wish it on them, but look at how the press dogged the Anthony's. I actually went by the A's home and I will never forget the hum of the news vans, what it was like to walk over all the various cords and how the press bee-lined it towards the car of some social worker that was visiting C & G. I get the feeling that either Portland is a much smaller market (even tho Kyron is national news) or they are a heck of alot more civilized.

I have a couple pics of the outside of the A's set up as an album.

I would think because her parents are not out there claiming her innocence. They are not out there trying to put LE down, not out there trying to throw anyone else under the bus that Casey is driving. These parents at least have enough common sense about them to know doing such as the Anthony's have are only going to make things worse. MHO

Well, Desiree said quite clearly that it was based on her feelings, her "motherly instinct" only.

 

[passionflower]

IMO, I feel LE told them that the search now is heading on looking for a deceased KYRON.
The parents are grieving in the background.

We could debate the merits of a civil suit all the live long day, but when it comes to LE, DY, and KH asking people to come forward with information, while at the same time threatening DS with a civil suit and outright accusing her with little to back it up and who, at that time, seemed thrust into the spotlight simply for being a friend to TH, it's not a very good strategy. Also, at the press conference after the brouhaha surrounding DS, Kaine expressed disbelief that people were afraid to come forward. On this very site, we had a woman at her wits end, who had been sleuthed by the online community, who had been falsely connected to DS in a major way.

I understand that the parents are emotional, but if there is a key witness, and if they are afraid for whatever reasons, then a hostile environment and threatening other potential witnesses isn't going to make them likely to come forward of their own accord.

 

[maystamper]

We all wait on pins and needles for this presser. I hope it's not all we need your help and we can't answer those questions.
I think people should make a scene outside of TH residence and put more presure on her. Just because she moved away people do not forget what she is involved in.
Wish I could be a fly on the wall, with big ears, in the GJ room!!

 

[Emma Peel]

KH & DY -

GJ is in session. They've been to GJ themselves.

They likely have little to add, and less they can explain. Their goal was to earn interest in Kyron and keep Kyron in the headlines and on everyone's mind through their appearances.

Last two weeks, the case is leaking everywhere and doing their "Kyron's face in the news" work for them.

Finally, it's my hope that they have received good advice & counsel, are refining their media strategy so they can refocus on Kyron, appeal to the public for witnesses to come forward, and to keep vigilent for Kyron, and leave the Q/A routine and investigative pressure tactics to LE.

I truly hope Kaine, Desiree, Tony and the family's children are experiencing strong personal support & wise counsel at this time.

LE had to realize this even if DY and KH didn't.

But there are two tracks of dealing with potentially hostile or scared people - you can use diplomacy or generate fear of punishment. If Dede has information she was withholding from LE and in the process is interfering with their search for Kyron, then which way would be best to gain info from her: diplomacy or "force" (fear of punishment)? The parents are pissed, scared and Kyron is in danger or dead - they chose fear of punishment as the quickest way to get what they needed.

If there are others out there who for whatever reason haven't coughed up information helpful to the case - even after cajoling, parent tears, cop tears, pleas for information, images of Kyron himself gap-toothed smiling - well, maybe fear of being hit with a law suit for interfering with a police investigation WILL motivate. You never know.

Can anyone tell me why news crews aren't camped outside the homes of people like Terri's parents, or even Kaine. Not that I wish it on them, but look at how the press dogged the Anthony's. I actually went by the A's home and I will never forget the hum of the news vans, what it was like to walk over all the various cords and how the press bee-lined it towards the car of some social worker that was visiting C & G. I get the feeling that either Portland is a much smaller market (even tho Kyron is national news) or they are a heck of alot more civilized.

I think that's a good thing, and I really hope that the Media learned a very big lesson within the Anthony case. There were several from them to learn. I respect that about this case, and it's a good thing.. imo.

bbm

1. I think one of the reasons they are not camped out is because of the lack of restroom facilities. The Willamette Week made reference to the uncomfortable situation surrounding that issue.

2. Yeah, Portland is a rather polite city. We don't like to stare--figuratively and literally.

Media from this case defecate on the Horman neighbors' lawns...

 

[Leila]

I think it's a combination of things. I think that KH and DY know the chances of finding Kyron alive are dwindling as each day goes by. They've said what needed to be said and pleaded with anyone knowing anything to please come forward. With the grand jury proceedings and the new information released in the past week, the case is headlines in all the news media, both local and national. They no longer have to make public appearances to keep Kyron's name and face out there.

I also think they know it's getting close to a break in the case. I think they're bracing themselves for worst news they could get.

On another note..........I've had a fantasy ending to this case too. If Kyron is being held by a third party, I've imagined that third party growing a conscience and letting Kyron go. Under the cover of darkness and late at night, the third party takes Kyron in his car into Portland and lets him out about a block from the police station. He points to the police station down the street and tells Kyron to walk in the door and tell them your name..................

 

[something clever]

Well, Desiree said quite clearly that it was based on her feelings, her "motherly instinct" only.

I thought that she said that in reference to TH being involved not DS's possible involvement? Who knows what LE has told them about why they think DS might be involved? Hoping the presser will shed some light on new developments but I'm not gonna hold my breath.

 

[fran]

How much pleading can these poor heartbroken people take in such a public forum?

I think they're just sitting back and praying someone, somewhere, that knows, will talk. They have done all they could to rattle someone's sense of decency. Now, perhaps by the few clues LE has revealed, they DO have A witness, just want more, someone who thinks they MAY be in the clear, realize the MAY NOT be clear of suspicion.

JMHO

The Anthony's were always good for an explosive and strange sound bite or off the wall antic. Like chasing people with claw hammers. I have not seen that in DY and Kaine's case.

 

[liz b.]

Well,LE did state today that there is no evidence that Kyron is not alive... I believe the reason for KH and DY's silence is that their attorney(s) and/or media liason have advised them to quiet... " Silence is golden " is always good advice...

All JMO

 

[Herding Cats]

I'm thinking that, after DY's statement of 'we're being very careful legally' (paraphrased...) that someone said, "well, no, actually, you're opening yourselves up to a whole lot of civil liability." They, like TH, took the advice to heart, and are keeping mum for that reason. Of course, the horse has left that barn, so it may not do any good.

And personally, I can completely see how their actions would backfire...I mean, if I wasn't involved but knew some of the players, I'd be very quiet...because there's no way in hell-o that I'd want my face, name, address, and every last bit of my life out there for public consumption. What they've done to those who they percieve as not on their side is atrocious...and may have backfired in a bad way.

Just moo...
