Kyron's parents' statements, interviews

Kyron's parents accuse Terri Horman of kidnapping

The mother of 7-year-old Kyron Horman accused the missing boy's stepmother Friday morning of kidnapping the child and called on her to confess to investigators during an emotional press conference in Beaverton.

Desiree Young said she believes Terri Horman conspired with another, unknown person to abduct the boy, who has not been seen since June 4.

I can't wait to hear that part of the interview.

It would be wonderful if Kyron is alive. I hope they are right about that.

 

[Donjeta]

Yes, this is interesting... a combination of threat (you will go to jail) and persuasion (how do you want to be remembered). But also, she makes it sound as if this situation was out of Terri's control? IDK...

"Our lives present moments like these and we aren't always going to like what life gives us. We don't have much choice in that."

BBM. I couldn't watch the interview yet but your post made me think it might be about giving Terri an out to save her face. You know, if it was out of her control it wasn't really her fault at all...

"You will go to jail and whoever has been helping you will either have to talk or they will go to jail."


I also found this to be a very pointed and thought-provoking statement.

Desiree spoke with such confidence! If I knew nothing about this case or these people, and just happen to watch this video, I would think this woman knows something; she knows what she's talking about!

 

[Billylee]

That statement is confusing.

If they believe that she is responsible for Kyron's disappearance then wouldn't she go to jail by telling them all that she knows?:waitasec:

I thought they were saying that they *might* belive TH is innocent but is not sharing information that may help them find Kyron....then I read the rest of it and that's clearly not how they feel.

There is always the possibility that Terri hid Kyron for what she deemed to be his own protection. Now, if that is what happened, and she can prove it was for his own protection, I doubt there would be a judge anywhere that would punish her for that. JMO

 

[Donjeta]

Why do you think she wanted to emphasize that it was not a LE approved statement?

If that was the case, wouldn't she have "hidden" baby K as well? I don't know how Kyron could have needed protection but the baby didn't.

MOO

This case is so strange.

Sometimes I feel there is a big "Elephant in the Living Room" that all the rest of them are sort of talking around...only we don't know what it is....but they sure do.

I feel there is a huge SOMETHING being held back...that's why the parents believe he's "stashed."

I can't explain it...anyone else sense this?

Or maybe they know that the scenario they're creating is the only way Kyron can still be alive after all this time.

So, IMHO, they could be basing this assertion on facts about the case they have, or it could be the desperation of a mother who loves her son.

Desiree needs for it to be Terri, IMHO. It's clear to me that Desiree either believes Terri didn't kill Kyron or believes she's not capable of killing Kyron. Desiree needs for it to be Terri because if it's not, if a sex offender took Kyron, he was dead before anyone even realized he was missing, IMHO. And, also IMHO, Desiree simply doesn't want to fathom the latter.

 

[cluciano63]

Maybe LE told them that they were not approving what they said, or that they (LE) would have to issue a statement afterward, if Desiree did not say upfront that they were speaking out on their own?

I was replying to donjeta above as to why Desiree stated that this was not an LE-approved statement...

In late June, Kaine filed for divorce, citing among other things an alleged plot to kill him that investigators said was discussed by Terri Horman and a landscaper. The plot never went beyond talk, investigators said.


Holy carp, that's the only time I've seen that actually admitted. So what? the landscaper and TH were foolin' around and she said something like gee, I can't stand my husband anymore, I'd give a million bucks of he were dead, and the ls says want me to do it? Good grief, I hope they have more than something like that for opening up this can of worms!

Oh Donjeta;

I don't know, but can guess LE has publicly said whatever KH, DY, and TY say is not their words is so LE can avoid the million dollar law suit down the line if proven wrong. Houze will get his $350 after that, if it happens.

 

[debs]

Why didn't Kaine say what Desiree said instead. It seems if Terri is guilty, which I do NOT believe her to be, she will just piss her off more. Have Kaine speak to her and maybe plead with tears. Terri, please, if you know where Kyron is please please help us find him.

Instead, all Terri is gonna see, is Desiree judging her, and wearing a tight dress to emphasize her breasts, etc. and show off her new tan.

Ugh

Kaine cannot address Terri in the manner Desiree did; he has an open, active RO against Terri and any statement like what Desiree made coming from Kaine would be a violation of that RO.

 

[Jade2010]

I don't know how to say this without getting deleted but I'll give it a go.

I believe Kyron may be alive. I believe he may have been kidnapped and held for ransom. This seemed absolutely far fetched to me in the beginning with Terri being involved but I don't believe she is and I think acquaintances may have kidnapped Kryon and it could well have been the baby that was kidnapped! Kyron must have been more accessible. Terri knows these acquaintances and that they are dangerous and that explains why DeDe felt Terri and she were truly in danger in the house.

 

[surrogatemom]

Even without the RO, I think it is a better idea for Desiree to address Terri - it's a woman addressing a woman, possibly the woman that Terri hates most, or maybe someone Terri feels she can relate with but now that woman (Desiree) is turning on her and making some harsh and pointed statements. So, I think Desiree addressing Terri was a great idea, though obviously the RO is what kept Kaine from saying what Desiree did.

Surely they do. To say it didn't go beyond talk, doesn't mean that the talk was not serious. I say this because wasn't the restraining order based largely on the MFH plot? And Terri has chosen to not challenge the restraining order.

The fact that she didn't challenge the restraining order is to me very significant. What possible reason could she have to give up seeing her baby girl for a year if challenging the RO would not be very risky....or perhaps impossible?

 

[Mamietwo]

I did not get the impression that Desiree knows anything about a possible arrest; just what she feels/hopes, from being at the grand jury, etc. She knows they are going after Terri. But the only reason she would have implied that Terri might not go to jail if she comes clean, would be in hopes that Terri believed that. We know it is not true...anyone involved in this, whatever it is, this far in, is going to jail, in my opinion.

I agree with your post but also would like to add that maybe if she gets Terri to thinking that DY and KH and persuade LE to minimize the charges, that since there's nothing else on her record, remotely close to this, that maybe she won't do any jail time. They need to get her thinking in that direction, atleast.

I don't know, if she knew she had said something to the LS that could be "construed as a MFHP" then wouldn't she be wise to just get an attorney and go from there? If she challenged the RO, then she would have to PROVE that she didn't really mean it. How could she do that?

ETA As it stands, that ball is now in LE's hands to prove that SHE did mean it and apparently they cannot, or she'd be in jail.

I respectfully disagree. Desiree's premise is that Terri took Kyron. If Terri took Kyron it had to be planned. If it was planned, Terri was taking Kaine and DESIREE's child away. Terri could give a heck about how it's affecting Desiree if she took Kyron.

Now, maybe Desiree should make a plea, crying in tears, to anyone who took Kyron to please please bring him home and NOT address it to Terri or anyone who knows Terri nd maybe the man/men who took Kyron would have a heart and just drop him off somewhere, alive.

Terri has a bigtime lawyer...I am sure he would advise her not to "confess" to anything unless she has a written deal about jail time...sad but true.

Are you sure that's right? Why would a RO gag the person being protected? He already accused her of being involved in his filing.

I think they are just taking the bad cop role, which LE probably has no problem with, and I agree Desiree is taking the lead because of the woman to woman dynamic and the fact that she's good with the stern words.
