I hope you folks will bear with me, I'm trying to walk a fine line here. And I'm the first to say... well, my husband jokes and calls me Captain Oblivious. Sometimes I miss the obvious, or it takes a while to sink in. And as I've said, I'm cautious about how much detail I give right now, plus some questions may be answered in other threads, and I don't want to clutter things up either....
Sherbie, I was very confused about who I saw. At first, I was all "ah-HA! It's Terri! She has curly red hair!. But she was very thin. And taller than Terri. And her hair was more strawberry blond. Then I thought maybe it was Desiree, and she and Kaine were back together covertly, but her hair was very distinctly strawberry blond.
I guess what I mean is no, they don't look anything alike, but look at the pictures when TH was body building. There are some facial similarities, strong angular facial features, distinctive looks.
I often say my gut twists, and my gut kept twisting until I realized that this woman might fit into Kaine's "type". If you put DY on one end of his "type", and TH on the other, this woman I saw fell somewhere in between the two. She looked enough like each of them that it made sense to me this woman was Kaine's "type". Beautiful, strong jaw, angular distinctive face. Desiree in particular has kind of this exotic, supermodel type beauty. She's not just some girl next door. This woman I saw had a strong jaw like her, but her hair was lighter and more red. But she was way too thin and tall to be TH. That said, I only saw a profile. Hardly the best view. The man I saw better, he was further from me, and turned to look at the little boy, so I got a good full facial glimpse.
I did not call initially for the very reason you mention, how could it be Kyron I saw? When I finally called was when I came across a TV reporter (I think it was KOIN?) trying to interview Kaine and TH as they were leaving the gym (the incident that caused such a furror, why was Terri saying she needed to go to the gym, and it turned out Kaine was actually with her, and said LEO told them to live their lives as normally as possible? That was when I realized maybe LEO were so busy doing SAR at that point, and weren't in fact with them. I'm not sure what LEO was thinking at that point, but if they weren't yet suspicious of TH,
maybe they were handling it as if Kyron had wandered off? At which point they would need manpower searching, not keeping a watch on the family? I don't know. To me, this is one of the huge holes in my sighting. I'm as confused as anyone... None of this makes sense, but
my gut is screaming at me that I saw Kyron, and no matter how much I try to convince myself otherwise, my gut will not let go.
The most danger I've ever been in has been because I did not trust my gut. So... I'm trying to believe sometimes the subconscious mind knows something the conscious mind can't prove. But I'm the first to admit, I could be wrong.
I'm not sure I'm ready to submit questions... I'm thinking LE knows if he has an inhaler, and if they have not released that information, there is a reason.... But I'm continuing to ruminate on this whole situation, and would gratefully accept any advice. There is a lot at stake, I don't want to rush into a mistake.
Liz B, my husband said the same thing, why bring him in public? The only thing I can say is it was a rather obscure event and people had their attention deeply focused on the event, and wouldn't have noticed. The appearance and departure of the people I saw was highly suspicious based on the event I attended, but still... could mean nothing.
And the adults were wearing hats, and almost acting as if they did not want to be connected with the boy. He followed after them, and they kept kind of moving away from him when people were watching, but subtly. It wasn't on my radar at the time, I just thought they were disinterested parents that couldn't be bothered.
The only theory I have as to why is if whomever it was had to get Kyron out of the way because they didn't want him seen.
The event was the perfect place to hide in plain sight.
Calliope, I'm not sure I'd remember his voice specifically at this point. I tried looking for video early on before I called MCSO, but I only found the video of him singing, and something else, but I didn't hear his voice at all really on any video. More distinctive was his mannerisms. I did not hear (or don't remember hearing) the adults speak at all, but this little boy was... shy, reserved, but excited enough by the video game that he wanted to tell the adults about it. He came right up to my son's chair, kind of invading his space a bit, which is part of the problem. I was being protective Mama, didn't realize I might be looking at a missing kid, so I was paying attention more to my son. I actually teach childbirth hypnosis, I would give my arms and legs to find a hypnotherapist that I could research and talk to, that I respected their knowledge, because I'm very hypnotizable, and if I could trust them and have someone I trusted watching, and being my safety net, I'd love to have someone hypnotize me and take me back there, and see what I remember. I had an experience where I was writing scripts to help me during a health crisis, and wound up putting word for word phrases that were in the childbirth classes I'd used 18 months before (and had NO conscious memory of).
I know the memories are in there. I wish I had more.... vibrant access to them. Charlatans are a dime a dozen, good hypnotherapists are hard to find... It would take a lot of research and trust....
BTW, where is the video of Kyron speaking? I looked and looked on google.... never found it, and I get a bit overwhelmed by the amount of information on this board.
I think I hit the highlights... Sorry for the ambiguity. Like I said, I can't quite make peace with this on either end. My instincts are bugging me, and... I tend to be interested in things like microexpressions. I'm usually very good at reading people, but so far not so many people are seeing what I am, and I'm not sure if that's because I'm wrong, or because there is a media circus that is leading public opinion on this. All I know is, some of the things I'm noticing about key players also make my gut twist. So far I have not figured out where here people are talking about things like that, and since it's nothing more than my gut reactions.... I'm not sure how relevant it is. I'm just as fallible as anyone else on that count, and I trust the brain power of the MCSO more than I trust my gut. They all have guts too, more experienced and better trained than mine.
Ugh. Rambling. Sorry. My mind has been spinning for two months. It's kind of a relief to try and sort this out, but still hard to do it in a safe and respectful way.
