The parents themselves state they believe their son is alive, and I go with that. The theories that state he is dead, though statistically wise, aren't something I can delve into. I go with he's alive and will until I have to be proven wrong.
LE has stated Terri is cooperating, even though the parents say she's not. Their only evidence to that is that she does not tell LE where Kyron is. While I support their right to believe she's holding back, it does not conclude that they are accurate in their assessment that she knows more than she's telling. In fact, it went so far as for them to start dumping out Terri's past transgressions, regardless of Desiree, in her Medford presser, asserting she did not want to be remembered in the press as someone digging up stuff from the past. But they both did, and did so in the face of LE stating that what they were saying did NOT come from them.
The parents talk about a close relationship with LE, then within their interviews, state that what they "know" is from parent instinct and not from anything LE has told them. Tony gives us insight into what they're being told, when in that same Medford presser, he says that LE just keeps them informed that the case is going in a certain direction but of course they don't give them specific details because that would compromise the case. So parent intuition is not evidentiary. One should not be convicted upon that alone. Does that mean LE shouldn't be looking in Terri's direction? Absolutely not! LE's only damning public statement regarding Terri is that she has some issues with her timeline. Kaine said in a presser "30 minutes".....it was odd, and I'm looking again for it. But now he's narrowed it down to 30 minutes from Desiree's 3 hours. I think it was in that controlled presser where they met with reporters individually, answering only selected questions.
There are people who state Kyron was seen at nearly 9, without Terri. A child says Kyron told him he was going to see a cool electric project. People assume Terri coerced Kyron out the door, but there's nothing to back that up. His parents say he's shy and wouldn't go with a stranger. But that doesn't mean that in a school with his friends and the parents of those friends in the school, plus all the extra chaperones available that day, that Kyron wouldn't respond to a friend's parent, or even an authority figure. WANTING it to be Terri and having proof it was Terri are two different things.
I WANT whoever disappeared Kyron to be found. I WANT Kyron to be found. But I DON'T WANT to ruin someone's life because she's been quiet after being accused of a horrendous crime with no proof that she did it. Not only that, but she's been diagnosed as a psychopath or a sociopath, depending on the day. She has no contact with her child based on a "he jumped first and made claims that she would have to answer in court along with questions about where Kyron is, based on the 'parental instinct' that she did something to him in the first place with no evidence to support it" accusation by Kaine.
I don't know the legal pickle Terri finds herself now with baby K's custody. All I know is that the hell she is going through IF SHE IS INNOCENT is in addition to Kyron being missing. IF she's guilty, then screw her, like most think. But there is nothing which conclusively says she is, and it isn't just a small gap between she did it or didn't. It's HUGE. Give me something, anything. Then I won't feel so badly seeing people discuss stringing her in trees, taking her into a room and getting the information out of her, etc etc. But nothing so far has pushed me to believe she's anything more than another parent who is mourning the loss of the boy she loves, and now her daughter is taken from her, too.
There's no fence for me. I'm still pulling weeds waaaaaaaaaaaaay over here. But I see the fence and maybe I have to go tickle the feet I see now and again. But no one has shown me a reason to get on it, or even choose a side to dangle my feet on. I don't have a guilty/not guilty switch. I'm waiting for some proof to even figure I should get on the fence.
I'm not asking for my post to be picked apart. I am answering the question. I know all the arguments against my position, and don't need it reiterated as though I'm slow and can't figure things out for myself. I'm aware of the reasons others choose to look at this differently than me. This is my place in the field, and I am entitled to it.
raying: for Kyron's safe return to those who love him so much!!
