OR - Kyron Horman, 7 yo Second grader, Portland, 4 June 2010 - Part #16

[cluciano63]

We can't compare this case to Somer's as we do not know what has happened to Kyron. Somer's body was found within a short time, even if an arrest was not made for some time. We do not have any reason at this point to assume that a sexual predator has taken Kyron and killed him, IMO.

If one were to hypothesize that the man they arrested in Somers case is guilty, and to further hypothesize that this could be the same kind of scenario we are dealing with in Kyron's case...

that would mean that the potential perp would be a registered sex offender that lived within a radius of of his school/house ...

I didnt follow that case on WS. Did people have an inkling early on? BEcause it seems his arrest didnt take place until a few months later, and also if I understand it correctly, the alleged perp/arrested also moved after Somer went missing.

So if this case end up being a match to Kyrons, we may not know anything more for a few months? ANd it will end up being a Sex Offender that lived near by.

now that's a depressing thought....but then again, what's not with this case....sigh....

Hi Snarky, One variable tho is the number of RSO's living in the 2 different areas. I live in West Slope and there is only one RSO in my area. There are very few in the area where Skyline Elementary is located. I remember in Somer's case scouting the many of these guys who lived in her immediate area. IMO

Hi, What is odd tho re: photos of Kyron, is that the day he went missing there were NO photos of hiim on the SM's FB page and they were all of the 18 month old daughter until 6 days afterwards.
*snip*

Not true.

Ok. Here is a link to the Today show interview:
Hulu - NBC TODAY Show: Walsh: Cops Keeping Kyron Leads Close to Vest

I hope this one's ok....

I agree with what Matt Lauer stated in the video.

A stuffed Tonka truck, is that what that is? And is that a rattle on top of the truck? :waitasec:

Looks like an easter basket to me.

He is such a cutie.

IMO

Jade,
Yes, I pictured it that way too. IIRC, SM was about 150 feet away from Kyron last time she saw him at 8:45. And the witness who saw Kyron at 9 :00, I remember reading that this witness supposedly saw Kyron at the door of his classroom. ITA about that stairwell,and the blue exit door. It is very close to the south parking lot of the school.

I wonder if Kyron's classroom door was open when the unidentified witness saw him ? I also wonder how other people didn't see him by the classroom door at that time ? Was his teacher inside the classroom then ? Most importantly, who was with or near Kyron when he was near his classroom door at 9 :00 ? If that witness is a child ( and I think it's a classmate), they could be in potential danger if they saw someone with Kyron at that point...

All JMO

Is this 150 ft correct? Isn't that a little long for an interior hallway or did she see him at the door to the building from the parking lot?

 

[Calliope]

I have no idea whether or not Terri Horman harmed her step-son. I have no idea if she is in agreement with LE being in the home she shares with her husband, her step-son, and her daughter.

I do not like playing games.

my opinion.

No games. Just how I interpreted your post... that innocents wouldn't care if police were present.

 

[TXHOPE]

I removed my posts sorry I even asked

You didn't have to do that. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and with so few facts to work with on this case from LE there's alot of speculation. That's all we have to work with but no opinion is proved wrong as of yet and I appreciate hearing a different point of view. :hug:

 

[pufnstuf]

I found this cached article from KOIN which was published the day that Kyron disappeared. I believe this to be one of the earliest reports that Kyron was missing.

The article states that 1) Kaine Horman was with Terri when they met the bus; and 2) the teacher never saw Kyron in the classroom.

Hi impatientredhead - I'm just curious where this fact that they are comfortable with the police is their home is from. Has this been stated in a press conference or news article. If not, then I don't really know if they are comfortable with it. I would like to assume that they are but......

The one thing that I don't understand is, if having the police with them 24/7 is for the family's safety due to threats, why not publicly clear them and let everyone know. I'm certainly not accusing anyone and this is just my thoughts and opinions. I just have never heard of LE staying with a family like this. To me, it's unusual. What I think would be appropriate is to have a counselor or therapist with them 24/7 to help them cope.

Since the police has had no legal authority to be in the home of this family unless they are given permission, I would say they are all very thankful to have them there keeping them abreast about what they are doing to find Kyron.

I don't think that would stop the chatter for those who are so convinced of anyone's guilt.

I do expect that the FBI agent who is assisting Captain Schultz with the family has an educational background that makes them an expert in counseling parents of missing children.

They may be getting threats from outsiders. Those that do not even know them. I imagine the police is watching that closely but nothing is going to happen to them with the police right there with them.

LE has no obligation to come out publicly and rule this family or anyone else in or out. I imagine most of the community that actually lives there and knows the family are giving them support.

IMO

nobody knows anything as LE is not commenting on any information about this fateful morning. I really wish they would disclose an accurate timeline of confirmed sightings and comment on witness accounts.........

I really hope their reasons for this is because they are getting close to figuring out what happened on that day.

JBean, there is a HUGE difference between having 24 hour contact and having the police move in with you. Innocent or Guilty.

And, if there is a guilty person in that house, then I would bet that person wouldn't be courting 24 hour contact with the police.

Then I guess the stepmother isn't guilty, because LE is still there, and I haven't seen anything about her complaining.

 

[BeanE]

Then TH must be innocent?

Exactly.

 

[oceanblueeyes]

I agree with what Matt Lauer stated in the video.

I agree with what John Walsh said about not judging the parents.

IMO

I think it's a shadow on the tile floor from the morning sun slanting in the window.

A camera's flash will cast odd shadows, which I believe this shadow is caused by. This is why photographers either avoid the flash all together, or like in a studio have extensive lighting from all angles. As someone who does photography and works with photographers, this is MOO

 

[Cheewawa007]

And...the liaison is a Police Captain.

Look at the Somer Thompson case. The police stayed outside of her house 24-7 for months! The police never came forward & cleared any of the family members & doubt was cast upon them. They later arrested a young man unknown to the Thompsons.

ETA sorry seeking, I meant to quote what you were responding to about the police being at the home.

 

[BeanE]

Hi, I could have sworn I read the Sheriff stated the officer staying at the Horman's would go to his own home to sleep at night. :crazy: Did anyone else read that?

That's what I thought LE had said at one of the pressers when he was elaborating on it, but I didn't want to go back and find it, so I didn't post it lol.

 

[JBean]

Calliope, this is as simple as I can say it: I think it is strange, unusual, significant, important, out of the ordinary, and plain old questionable that there a constant police presence in the home of the step-mom and the father of a child who has gone missing.

Well I would sure hope that LE is not compromising the rights of a potential suspect by taking unusual measures. This could cause a good evidence to get tossed right out the window. If LE behaves as though the family member is a suspect, a good lawyer can argue that the suspect should have then been advised of his rights. If it walks like a duck and right to remain silent and all that jazz.

What I mean is if LE has moved in there because they have their sights on a family member, it would be a perty slippery slope and huge error. imo.

However, if it is NOT unusual for LE to spend 24/7 with the family of a high profile missing persons case, then it would certainly bolster their case if they should, by any chance, stumble upon important information. Or there is no suspicion and they are doing what is necessary in a high profile case.

So, if they are making these rules up they best be careful cause if the investigation should turn inward, that could cost you a conviction.
