OR - Kyron Horman, 7 yo Second grader, Portland, 4 June 2010 - Part #9

I noticed that, too. Terri was trying to hug Desiree, and Desiree wouldn't even look at her.

drat, I missed that. I s'pose it will be a couple of hours before they post video.

I did notice Terri bury her head in K's shoulder when he finished.
Everyone looks genuinely devastated.

I agree. That's why I don't get emotionally involved either. Perspective and objectivity tend to go right out the window; and rational thought right along with it.

I have to say that I disagree. Betcha many in LE would tell you about the emotional toll these cases have on them.

Gotta be able to do both, though. I think your point on maintaining perspective and objectivity and rational thinking while having a compassionate heart is extremely valid.

There may still be bad blood from the way bio-dad and SMs relationship started (the overlap). Some people hold grudges for a long time. It might have nothing to do with what is happening now.

Oh for God's sake. I thought for at least a full minute that you meant your computer speakers....

Me Too ... LOL :crazy:

I think it was all that Desiree could do just to stand up, she has no strength left to reach out to stepmom or anyone else. I saw nothing but raw emotion coming from her.

Just to throw it out there....bio mom could barely compose herself up there, it looked like it took everything she had just to stand there weeping to herself. (Completely heart breaking!) With that being said, she didn't really look at anyone or do anything.

Personally, I wouldn't read too much into that (though I know a lot of people will!)

Weirdos don't have to hang around schools anymore. They can just sit in their living room with their computer and your Facebook account. People put their whole life story on there, often illustrated with hundreds of pictures of kids, events at school, timelines for every routine they have. Predators these days don't need to follow or watch anyone. We put it all right out there for them.

Exactly! Look at the proof in the increase of kiddie online, and also the profile of pedophiles has changed. Some are even in well respected positions in their communities - the last person you'd suspect. I try to be extremely careful what goes on my FB page. No pics of children, not even profile pics of me or my husband, and I've adamantly told husband he's not allowed to post a profile pic on his acct either. Even private settings can get information into the wrongs hands via a 'friend' of a 'friend'.

Is there a video posted yet? My doorbell rang for a delivery just as the family thing was about to start.

TIA

Ok, the quality isn't very good, but I did the best I could with my resources. [Sorry so shaky]

My husband HAD to call home during the statement by the family so I missed part of it. ARGGGGG! I can't find any link to watch it again. Any ideas? I tried youtube.

I missed it too.Does anyone have a lnk to it.

Were we watching the same family? I didn't notice any such thing, or at least I didn't interpret it the way you did. My gosh, this is a grieving family, they are all heartbroken - and they all appeared together, in harmony in regards to their grief - that the way it appeared to me. MOO mho and all that stuff.

MOO of course.

First impression, I believe I saw genuine grief...everyone handles a little differently. Like I think bio mom was on the verge of total breakdown while bio dad seemed more stoic (fits the engineer in him to me) but overall seemed to be grieving.

I did watch for body language and picked up a few things to look up, but on my cursory research, nothing is shouting a big fat warning sign to me.

again, moo.

Desiree's actionsreactions have NOTHING to do with anything but the fact that her son is missing.

Please, God. Please don't ever let me be a parent who has to wear my child's photo on a T-shirt.

 

[DairyGirl]

I started to wonder if that isn't one of the reasons they changed up Sheriff spokesman... the new guy is much more of a hard case.


gaaa, the helicopters are coming and going right over my house; makes me jump every time I think it's the LifeFlight. I'm right in the Sauvie Island flight path.

Ot, found out the new sheriff is the brother of my boyfriends sister in law. Don't know much about him.
The press conference was heartbreaking. The parents were as I imagine any parent with a missing child would be. I hate that they had to be there but I am sure the speculation from everyone about why there weren't speaking was too much and too distracting that they had to speak. It's too bad that people are now going to pick apart their appearance. We need to find this little boy!

June 11 - noon - press conference - raw video

[AlexisFresca]

Not a problem, but honestly I think Kyron( a missing child) is more important than JVDS...getting his face and his story nationwide coverage, much more important. But this is just my opinion and I was curious if she had covered him at all since he went missing since I just started following his case 2 days ago.

ICAM! Hasn't that dominated the news enough ever since Natalee Holloway? Seriously, why is he so newsworthy that he is guilty of something we've long suspected him to be capable of? Not like its 'shocking' or 'breaking' news. The media's playing right into his hands.

lol. I can get fairly confused when I've sat here too long, however, I shouldn't reach that point where I'm just staring at my speakers until I read back the 300 posts I've missed today. :floorlaugh:

I had read on article comments the mother had just set up a fb a/c,that is not true,I saw where her and the SM became fb friends a long time ago.Her's is just not public.The Aunt,her sister stated she has joint custody and drives every two weeks to see him.
