Sheriff refocuses Kyron investigation: a smaller task force will take over...

[cypress]

Early on, there were a lot of rumors about people not cooperating with LE with regard to searches because they were growing pot on their property. I wonder if anything like that is coming into play -- secondary investigations not necessarily related to Kyron or Terri, but illegal activities uncovered in the process of investigating Kyron's disappearance.

From the sheriff's office website:

Sheriff Staton press conferance on Kyron Horman case - 09/15/10

Sheriff Staton will make a statement regarding an update on the Kryon Horman case. The press conferance will be today Wednesday September 15, 2010 at 4 p.m. at the Sheriff's Office Hansen Building location at 12240 N.E. Glisan, Portland Oregon 97230

He suggested that a number of other cases were likely to result from the investigation, but did not elaborate on them.

Suggested? Okay. I'd like to know what Staton actually said. Or Lindstrand said. If anybody actually said anything "suggesting" other cases were likely to result.

:waitasec::waitasec: yup...me too... I feel a headache coming on, and the press conference hasn't even started...:waitasec::waitasec:

IMO it means that they are condensing things into one group, with multiple LE agencies. They are far enough into the investigation, that they don't need as many agents working on the case, from information that they have gathered. This did not get an, oh no from me.
IMO the MFH case might be bigger than we think.
What struck me was the statement from Schrunk when he said "We are going to try this case."

Yes, Jo ITA WITH you That neither did this get an "oh NO!" from me but i also get the impression that this is gonna be allot bigger and result In possibly multiple arrests for multiple crimes.(as they clearly implied that it would)

As well as receiving a renewed confidence with their statement of "we are going to try this case"
I see this as a positive that they are downsizing their need for manpower given the fact that they "are further along with this investigation than what ppl think"

I have been of the mindset that there was going to be no quick answers or quick fixes to crack fully this case and have the important necessary proof to prosecute successfully. This was told to us by LE a while back that this case would not be one of those quickly solved and prosecuted so I took them to fully mean what they stated therefor am choosing to be patient(tho is extremely hard when a small Childs life is at stake) and have no reason to believe that LE is not fully capable of bringing this case to a close at the appropriate time when the evidence required is fully met. So, unless there is a lucky break(sadly IMO meaning something such as someone "happening upon" Kyrons remains)or the most of unlikeliness Terri having a conscience suddenly compelling her to stop this ongoing nightmare that only she can Stop IMO. (that one I certainly do NOT see happening unless somehow hell suddenly is at arctic temps)
Therefor I do see this as ongoing and active for the next while. jmo.

“This case is farther along than most people realize,” Staton told alliance members.

But now the strategy is shifting, Lindstrand said.

“This case is further along than most people realize,” she said.

:waitasec:

So much for LE quotes...

Maybe it's a party line that they agreed to use before making the statements? "When in doubt, say that the case is further along than most people realize."

Or they omitted that it's further along to being a cold case than most people think.

Shucks, I'm back to Ohnoit'snotgonnabesolved again.

I haven't seen this picture before. What a cutie.

ETA: (Sorry for the off topic.)

JMHO and first thoughts after having read the article in the OP.

This isn't giving me a warm fuzzy.

This looks like what we see in a lot of missing persons cases where there is a draw down of personnel after a given amount of time. (it can vary)

Maybe it's just me. But when I read that I kind of felt saddened, they are drawing down, they will have a smaller task force, etc.

I hope they find Kyron soon. All JMHO.

I'm going to wait and see what the good sheriff says at the presser. Then I'll probably :banghead: for a while.

I'm all mixed up. Either they are downsizing because they are zeroing in, or they have no more leads, or they are broke like all the other government agencies in Oregon.

I'm hoping it is because they are zeroing in!

Where is Kyron?

 

[BetteDavisEyes]

Here we go loop de loo, here we go loop de lie.....

You know all about "Legalese", I'm sure, but "Journalese" is a whole 'nother language that has evolved since I taught the subject in the 1970s

 

[MarieFaith]

You sleuths who have been at this a long time, what about the reference to four months? Seems strange to me that they would put a timetable on this, instead of saying something more vague.

Could this be to throw off a certain person (or people) so said person (or people) might loosen up and let down his or her (or their) guard??? Psychological warfare?

If not, it just seems odd to me.

IMHO, downsizing plus this quote

Despite more than 4,000 tips that have come into investigators, Schrunk said there is still no “smoking gun” that proves what happened to the missing boy.

“It is not a slam-dunk case,” Schrunk said.

does not indicate to me that they are zeroing in on Terri or are close to solving this case. IMHO, the hopeful aspects, the assurances of going to trial, should be analyzed alongside the unusual, IMHO, financial awareness and public accountability of LE from very early on in this case. IMHO, LE doesn't want anyone to believe money has been wasted. In that regard, and absent an immediate indictment or arrest, they must promise that there will be a resolution. It's a delay tactic, though, IMHO.

He said the case would be solved, the Tribune reported, but it was time to narrow the team to a smaller group of officers from various law enforcement agencies.

Interesting. So that is that. They have the answer, they know who did it, they know where Kyron is.


Now why don't I believe that.

 

[Donjeta]

Does anyone think that the four months plan is because they can afford four months of pay for a couple of investigators and if they have no results by then the case will have to go on the back burner and they must move on to something more solvable?

 

[debs]

Well, two months gets us past an election.........

 

[Jade2010]

Is the press conference over? I clicked that link and all I get is activity that could cause someone to have a seizure. Thanks.

Somehow I'm seeing a picture of Mr. Houze leaning back with his feet up on his desk, just smiling away at this new information.

I thought of that because some of the double talk seems like they're trying to reassure both the tax payers and the perp at the same time. It's like they're saying "We're working hard and getting results" to the tax payer and "Don't worry, we ain't got ****" to the perp.

But I don't know if they would have wanted to hint that there might be other criminal cases to follow if they want to reassure the perp. Unless it's not the perp who needs to worry about those additional charges but some other persons.

Unless his client decides she doesn't need such a high-priced lawyer after all?

Just any ol' lawyer will do?
