Landscaper says Terri Horman wanted him to kill her husband!

[WhyaDuck?]

Wow. You learn something every day! So I wonder if they arrested her yet? If not, why not?

Because they couldn't get her to repeat the plans on tape, IMO.

Of course this comes out at 4:00 in the morning and no one is around to talk to about it!
This answers the questions as to why the restraining order. It also says that Kaine was not home when 911 was called last week.
I don't know if it's true or not but it sure raises more questions then ever. If it is true then Terri is much more unstable then previously thought. And why would she want to get rid of Kaine? I dismissed the specuation that she was having an affair but this really opens up that possibility. And why would she get rid of Kyron if it was Kaine that she wanted to eliminate? Can this situation get any stranger?

Hearsay, and something like this you can most def arrest a person. So, the question comes... is TH in jail yet?

Whew! I just breezed through this entire thread and all I can say is, "Wow!" I'm almost speechless, but in the words of Alice, I'll say that this case just gets "curiouser and curiouser." I'm beginning to feel like I ate a few of those funky mushrooms, or that Mad Hatter put "something" in my tea, KWIM?

Have a safe and happy Fourth of July!

Hi BDE.

IIRC, you saw the dark purple emoting from all at the last family presser. I only picked up the serious change in demeanor & emotion. Boy oh boy, do I want to know about the purple. Hang on , there are more SECRETS to come IMO. I would continue with your wonderland analogy but any more color speak and I'd be out of bounds, I'm afraid ...

How would someone bring something like this up? They would have to know them REALLY well or know something about them, IMO. I've had the same "landscapers" (I call them yard and snow plow guys) for the last seven years. I would never even think about asking any of them to do something like that for me. I can't think of a way to even approach them with it.

I've read about people trying to hire hitmen - sometimes successfully and sometimes not. It seems to me that all it really takes is a belief on the part of the asker that the person they are asking is immoral/desperate for money/already involved in criminal activities.

I can't imagine it either. "Hey James, it's time to weed & feed again. Oh...and by the way.....would you kill my husband for me? I'll pay you extra for that."

He had to have been more than the landscaper. Maybe she cried on his shoulder about how mean Kaine was for a while first, then kind of threw that out there to see if he'd bite? She could have taken it back said she was just overwrought or kidding or exhausted or whatever when he said, "What the h&ll?"

We had a women here who asked a guy to kill her husband. He went to the police. She was not arrested until many months later. The police had to get her on tape talking about it with this guy and she had to say flat out she wanted him killed. This took months. She was tried and convicted, because of what they had on the tapes.

 

[wondering1]

Wow. You learn something every day! So I wonder if they arrested her yet? If not, why not?

Because it's his word against hers right now as to whether she even asked and there's the problem of why the lawn guy didn't come forward at the time or on his own.

I think they would have a problem meeting their burden of proof at this point. They're probably still investigating and hoping to come up with something more solid either regarding this charge or wrt Kyron. jmo

IMO, you certainly don't have to be illegal to worry that reporting things will be more trouble than it's worth.

Very very true.

 

[sofia76]

As Kaine's wife, maybe Terrie Horman is the beneficiary of a large life insurance policy and she promised the landscaper the payment would be made when she received payment.

Unless Kaine is really cheap and didn't want to chip in the $5-15/month it costs to get even a basic life insurance policy through his job at Intel, he likely has at least a couple hundred grand in coverage.

IMO, it would be stupid for him not to have life insurance, and I don't think he's stupid. He is making almost 100K a year, has 2 kids, and a wife who is a stay at home mom (and out of work teacher in this economy). It's kind of a no-brainer. Then again, people do weird things sometimes.

 

[PickieChickie]

I have to wonder if Terrie Horman was having an intimate affair with the landscaper.

In my opinion, they had to have an intimate relationship for Terrie to feel comfortable enough to approach him with such a horrendous plot.

Where did Terrie find this landscaper to hire?

At what point does Terrie feel comfortable enough to ask him to kill her husband?

Was Terrie DRUNK when she asked him to kill her husband?

Where did this conversation occur? In bed? At a bar? At the house? On the telephone?

WOW, so IF this can somehow be proven to be true... then I'm beginning to lose my grip on the fence.

 

[pdx]

c'mon JBean. that would require some research. and it's a federal holiday.

but does that mean the RO was not necessary either?

Morning, Emma.. dizzy yet? Or is it splinters.. lol what a mess!

I see it now as the RO *is* to protect KH (not babyK).. that is the compelling emergency fact (for issuing the RO) & reason the judge kept the RO sealed. The Oregonian wanted it unsealed (believe they led the effort for that hearing) to confirm this story which they've had prepared & were ready to run.
They held onto it tightly; not a whisper until the street edition went to print (that's why it showed up at 4am). It would've been terrific for them to have the RO facts open to corroborate their story, but ultimately not necessary.

Sorry Judge, we didn't mean to pull the rug out from under you! :innocent:

 

[Reality Orlando]

Me either....however, I have a neighbor that has a yard guy that hubs doesn't know about....she tells her hubs the SHE does it. lol.

Yikes, my husband and I try to both take time on the lawn and gardens, but I occasionally have a guy in the neighborhood come do our lawn. My husband is way overworked and if I know he's having a particularly rough week and I can't get to it (I work as well), I do pay to have it done w/o telling him. He's very budget oriented and thinks paying for lawn care is a wasted expense, but sometimes he's so tired and I just can't see him out in the Florida heat overdoing it or things may just be piling up and I know he's getting frustrated trying to get it all done. I guess I'm a bad girl...lol.

Please let's not get into an illegal alien debate. There is enough going on already.


Please read the warof2010's posts for the latest information on the border situation,but let's not do it here.


thanks

I don't want a debate either. Just offering up a valid reason this guy might have kept his mouth shut.

 

[AbbieNormal]

Holy ****.


My son in law does landscaping, I think he would poo his pants if such an offer was made to him. I seriously wonder WHY the landscaper didn't tell LE back when the proposition was made to him, the only reason I can think of is that He and Terri might have had a little thing going on.
Who would want to have an affair, though, with a woman who was capable of thinking about killing her spouse? Talk about some danger added to the sex life, good gravy!!! He would have to be NUTS to have an affair w/ this woman.
So why didn't he come forward months ago? Kyron might still be alive if he had come forward, Terri might have been arrested and thrown in jail. She would never have and the chance to kill Kyron had she been arrested for conspiracy to kill Kaine months ago.
Did the yard guy say no thanks, and make arrangements to be back in 2 weeks for a leaf removal and hedge clean up, or what? This is too weird for me to even begin to absorb, coffee or not. Terri must have handled all the bill paying, or Kaine would have been aware they had a landscaper. And honestly, that yard did NOT look landscaped in any way, shape, or form.
If Terri was so interested in getting back into shape why didn't she get her butt out there and do some yardwork instead of 'hitting the gym'? (Rhetorical question)

Can this whole thing GET any stranger?

I am shocked, and its hard to completely shock me, anymore.

and ETA: If Terri is capable of trying to hire someone to kill Kaine, even if I WAS still on the fence about her, (which I wasn't) this would have caused me to tumble off the fence on the side of This Woman IS Guilty/ Capable Of Doing Something To Kyron.

Multnomah County sheriff's spokeswoman Mary Lindstrand would not confirm that there is an ongoing murder-for-hire investigation.

Yes...that's exactly what I'm saying.

 

[ClueMeIn]

Did the work ever even get done? Maybe the landscaper left, after she asked him to do that.

 

[BetteDavisEyes]

Portland's own favorite daughter, Tonya Harding, is doubtless the early favorite to play Terry Horman in the inevitable made-for-tv movie.

Both have the same initials...both obsessed with physical fitness...bodybuilder/professional wrestler ...both are about 40 years old ...both kinda some sort of blond...etc. etc etc

Based on the latest revelation about the hired "hit-man", the similarities seem endless... National Figure Skating Championships were held in Detroit the year of the infamous "incident" against Nancy Kerrigan, so it's difficult for me to overlook that particular comparison.

 

[SuziQ]

As Kaine's wife, maybe Terrie Horman is the beneficiary of a large life insurance policy and she promised the landscaper the payment would be made when she received payment.

That's usually how the deal goes down.
