Landscaper says Terri Horman wanted him to kill her husband!

[ClueMeIn]

Why does he need one? Custody issues or something else?

She is a family law attorney.

 

[Day Dreamer]

OMG! WTH?? I seriously did not see this coming. Talk about blind sided! Obviously, there is a lot more going on than any of us could ever have imagined.

I will tell you w/ this new information, not only am I off the fence now .... that dang fence got blown all to Kingdom Come!!

 

[Wrinkles]

Hmmm...

Don't know where everyone has gone with this thread yet...trying to catch up on reading...

But does anyone remember this?

>>That left us with small talk. I complimented her on the family’s hilly one-acre yard, asking whether the family might be planning to make a large unmowed patch at the center into a garden. She said no, and commented on the difficulties of keeping up the property.<<

Maybe the WW knew something about this gardener thing and was trying to make small talk about the need for a gardener and why???

Is this woman his divorce laywer? That would explain the need for a lawyer!

Kaine makes a good bit of money at Intel but his last house was not in the greatest neighborhood. This new house they live(d) in now still seems less than what they could afford on his salary. I think Kaine had money troubles somehow and he was worth more to Terri dead than alive.

He might be having money problems, or he might be one of those smart people who lives below his means and can afford to do so. If that's the case, and Terri is a live above your means type person, that could cause conflict. Major conflict, I'd say, because I've read many times that financial disagreements are the one of the main causes of marital disharmony and divorce.

I wonder what made them search him out?

Wait....did LE seek this guy out or did he eventually contact LE?

Cause if he was sitting on this information for about 5 months, Kryon disappears, and he just sits and waits to see if LE contacts HIM without calling THEM first????? :waitasec:

Surely, I have this wrong, right?

Yep. She's a divorce/child custody attorney.

I'm tilting a lot ... any minute now, I may fall off.

 

[STEADFAST]

I just woke up, and there's an 11-page long thread with a massively shocking headline??!! How can a case with no information get so twisted and complicated? Okay, I'll go read.

From my understanding, LE found out about the landscaper and found out that Terri had apparently hired a landscaper without consulting with Kaine first. So, LE approached the landscaper....the landscaper didn't willingly go to LE.

See - there's your problem, Steadfast. Never sleep, and the threads won't sneak up on you.

We're all gonna get air traffic controller stress from monitoring a case this bizarre.

Hmmm....VERY good point when you think back to the aftermath media coverage of this reporter showing up at house. Reporter was doing interviews all over repeatedly making reference to the fact that he and Terri ONLY talked about the landscaping....even went into detail about a particular patch of grass in yard that remained uncut and he questioned her if she was planning on making a garden in that area...thought it was odd at the time....but YOU are now making a lot of sense!!!

 

[Cappy]

I don't think he came forward at all. I think LE somehow figured it out and went to him.

Yep, that's what I'm thinking. Probably found him on her cell phone or computer.

It seems LE sought him out.
After Kyron disappeared June 4, investigators with the county's Major Crimes Team tracked down the landscaper in the course of trying to interview everyone who had contact with the boy's family. They also found it odd that Terri Horman had hired a landscaper without her husband's knowledge.

Maybe Terri is not the one who wanted a divorce. Maybe Kaine wanted a divorce and Terri was afraid he'd take the baby, the house, the money, the car and everything else. From the body language at the press conferences, Kaine is the one who wanted nothing to do with Terri, no matter how much she tried to cling to him.

Maybe she figured she'd kill him before she allowed him to divorce her and take everything. Maybe Kyron saw/heard something he was not supposed to see/hear.

Maybe landscaper guy has some kind of record or history that made Terri believe he'd be open to a murder for hire plot. Maybe she was just desperate and asked more than one person to help her.

Well, that certainly changes things in my head :furious:

This sweet boy's face is being broadcast not only locally, but nationally, and this landscaper never had the fortitude to pick up the phone and call LE and state "You know....funny thing happened a few months ago......"

 

[Susan10]

How do you hire a lawnman and your husband not know?
Only come between certain hours on certain days?
Not sure how that works.

Some husbands aren't that hard to fool.

Haha yep. Due to the fact that he apparently didn't think it was appropriate to phone this little tip into LE makes me think that he may have actually agreed to this proposition by Terri..but was waiting for the correct time, a down payment, etc.

 

[KaylynnCouture]

Some husbands aren't that hard to fool.

Especially if you're conveniently only having the landscaper come on days when your husband is working, paying him with cash or a secret bank account, etc.

She'd have to have known him personally. Which I believe she did.

He wasn't her 'landscaper' IMO.
