Updated Poll: Your opinion--has it changed?

[Jo in Calif]

Looks like she hated Kyron more than she loved Kaine.

I agree. I am coming from the other side wondering who besides TH would have wanted to hurt Kyron. Adding on that TH was trying to hire someone to do away with hubby. I am sorry but if I was on the jury, TH would have to provide very strong evidence that she wasn't the one that harmed and/or made this little boy disappear. JMO

But TH does not have to provide any evidence...the prosecution does. She will not have to prove her innocence. LE has to be able to prove her guilt.

ITA, but we are not on the jury, so you have every right to form an opinion my friend. For instance, IMO I have no doubt what-so-ever TH is guilty, but...I do believe IF I was on the jury (no chance...just saying), I believe I could keep an open mind to weight the actual (yet to be fully seen) evidence. But, we make judgments, have opinions everyday...throughout the day...we weigh things whether someone we meet, watch TV interview, read the paper, vote for someone, etc. We naturally evaluate and there is "no" shame in having an opinion as we are not the judge & jury. I guess what I am trying to say is, I don't feel people should feel either guilty or responsible for having an opinion; unless you are the judge or called to jury duty

I agree, but she does have a pesky time-line that day, and if we are to believe the parents, she keeps changing her stories regarding that day. After the flyers/interviews/calls/emails/texts, etc. who knows what witnesses they possibly can produce from that day?

I voted for #1, have always thought she was involved in Kyron's disappearance.

I have had a change tho since I read Trisha's comments on Zahra's mother being so totally trashed in the media. A mellowing at how I look at possible perps that could end up being proven guilty for the crime.

I can close my eyes and envision this curly redhead 'bombshell' totally enraged with her hair flying and eyes bulging - as Kyron might have seen her at times, and hate her. Then this last week watching her being shredded beyond repair in the media, I've found myself thinking how unfair and cruel that is.

Yes, she might be guilty and I believe she was involved in the crime. I have learned some awful things about her that I don't think should have been made public before a trial, character assassination and all. Now I just want LE to hurry up and find Kyron and solve the case.

 

[Scamperoo]

I'm on the fence still....I don't like it here, I wish they had solid evidence not innuendo and sources. She may be promiscuous and write mean emails but it doesn't make her a murderer. LE have got nothing and I don't know if it's because they made mistakes or Terri managed to cover her tracks so well nothing can be proven. Either way I'm stuck here for now.
That she is really unlikeable and has unpleasing sexual habits is not enough for me to decide she hurt Kyron but if evidence surfaces that she is connected to the case I wouldn't be taken by surprise.:redface:
The woman sure has really bad PR though, one would think her lawyers would step up and try some damage control.:truce:

I think that TH is totally responsible for Kryon's disappearance and that she acted alone. I think that she carefully planned the entire crime and probably had practice runs before the day he actually disappeared. She took him back to her car with some sort of excuse, killed him, and dumped his body in a predetermined place. She then went about with her alibis, going as far as posting his science picture on the internet. This jumped out as a red flag for me from the start. What was the big flipping rush to post this picture. This was not a murder committed as the result of a temper flare up. This was a cold, calculated, premediated execution.

 

[TxLady2]

I'm still waiting on evidence that she did something to Kyron. Specifically, I haven't seen anything from these emails that shows she hated Kyron. I wish someone would point me to that statement because I don't see it.
But IMO, if it was as obvious to LE that she is guilty as it is to some of you.... I wonder why she hasn't been charged?!

 

[loves2bmom]

I am 100% still sure she's involved and planned this. My only question is whether she had help. I don't see how she could have done it all by herself given the timeline.

ETA: It let me post again, but still can't quote.

TXLady, I was going to say the reason they haven't charged her yet is they want to find Kyron first. If they don't find him, I think they'll still charge her but it will be a harder case to prove.

 

[loves2bmom]

For some reason I'm having a hard time posting in this thread. Yesterday it wouldn't let me post at all and today I can only post once. Not letting me quote someone and post again. ????

I was under the impression from Kaine's presser that there were more emails that were shown to Kaine and Desiree that have not been released to the media.

The one thing that still bothers me to this day is that Kaine still drives the truck. If something happened in the truck, I would think that LE would still have it (? maybe ?), and I just cannot fathom Kaine driving it thinking something horrible happened to his son in it. So, yes, I think there has to be some kind of evidence that another vehicle/person was involved.

 

[Mylou]

I am firmly planted on the fence, and it is fine by me. I would love to see Kyron be home yesterday , alive and well.
Im in no hurry to judge who I think is responsible for his disappearance.
My judgement would have no bearing on this case anyways, nor would it bring Kyron home.
There is One whose judgement is greater then all.
I will continue to pray for Kyron and hope he is alive and well somewhere, and that who ever is responsible will fall into the living hands of God and beg forgiveness, and confess.
Someone knows what happened.

 

[Yellow Rose]

I was convinced at the onset that she was responsible. I am MORE convinced now.

 

[sarah7855]

I came into this case about a month after it started, and knew nothing. I caught up on the threads and came to the opinion that Terri is responsible. That opinion hasn't changed. I've wondered about a few different scenarios, but always thought she was responsible.

tritto..that's why a chose other. Before, I thought there was maybe something that could come out that would turn this around. Now I'm convinced that anything that comes out from here on in will just solidify that TH did it. I guess I was never fully convinced of the depth of her negative feelings toward kyron himself. DY and KH having seen the e-mails is the last piece of the puzzle for me.

BBM: the emails sealed the deal for me too. I didn't think she hated Kyron like that. I cannot imagine Desiree's reaction to reading those emails, I would be devastated.

If anything, my opinion of her has gotten worse. She's right up there with Casey Anthony and Elesa Baker in my mind now.

Amen. I think that this is going to turn out a lot worse than I originally feared, and that she's going to be a lot more cold and calcluating than I thought too.

I agree 110% with every last word.

 

[animlzrule]

I just continue to be a bit stymied as to how a woman who in retrospect seems to have been going off the rails could have perpetrated a heinous crime such as the alleged murder and concealment of her 7 year old stepson and not left a trail or solid evidence. Whether or not she did anything to Kyron, she sure displayed some reckless behavior before and after his disappearance. It just seems like she should have been too mentally disorganized to have pulled off the perfect crime. Mentally disorganized probably isn't an accurate characterization, but I mean as reckless as she has been with her intimate relationships, I would have expected her to be easier to nail. (Uh...poor choice of words, but I think you know what I mean.) Unless they just really want to wait for a body before indicting. It seems though that in the court of public opinion they needn't wait. At this point I think I'd like to see them charge her and see how it all shakes out. If facing a trial doesn't make her crack than probably nothing will. I don't think anyone should hold their breath waiting for her cooperation in finding his body if she's responsible. I remain on the fence only because I'd feel more confident if LE gave more signs of closing in on her. She seems to have them running in circles, but I hope that's a false impression.

 

[Schmerty_Jones]

From the beginning of this report ,I believed Terri was guilty of dear little Kyron's demise. I believe that now absolutely. How can a" Mature "(she is 40yrs+ ,older than Kaine, Desiree& Tony, yet she acts like a demanding adolescent, who kicks the walls, smashes the car, if not given a larger allowance. I wonder how her adoptive parents handled her?I voted for #1 & believe it even more now!

 

[tlcya]

I choose "other" As I used to be on the fence about Terri's involvement. I thought we were heavy on reports and light on evidence. Now I am starting to see sworn tetimony (in the way of court documents) and am seeing more and more evidence stacking up.

About two months ago when the Kyron leads sort of dried up and it became Kaine v Terri in family court, I climbed off that fence.

For me, the evidence just all stacked up so much circumstantial evidence, and nothing to speak for her? Nothing good or to challenge what was being put out there? Nothing to suggest she wasn't this [unusual person]?

Now with the recent testimony via court pleadings from both Terri and Kaine, I feel strongly she is somehow responsible.

Either that or more unlucky than sadsack and eyeore combined.

ETA see that? See that EITHER up there, still hangin out close to the fence - despite myself, argggg. But my feet are on the ground. Will not be climbing back up on that fence.

We may disagree on much of this case{tho respect your opinion/view}...but we certainly agree on above BBM...

I mean WoW! PR doesn't get any worse than this and what has me just literally baffled is the fact that Mr. Steven Houze has a specialty and is absolutely "known for" his sharp and unbelievable PR skills..??!!??

I remember the day he was retained that some of the locals were stating that we were about to see a 180* turn on Terri's image{even if what he was gonna "paint" wouldn't be entirely true/accurate} about her..that Houze could turn the public's opinion around almost over night...

Again that this is WHAT HE IS KNOWN FOR... SOME SAID THEY BETTED THAT in less that 24 hrs we'd see our first press release from Houze shaping his new/improved/angelic/SAHM/innocent client in the public's opinion...

...and yet here we still are with the first of those "shaping" PRs still have yet to be seen????!!!??..lolol

 

[tlcya]

good with PR or not, so far, all these months later, all these allegations later, and Terri still has not been charged. The guy's doing something right. MOO
