Why has the family not made a public plea?

[greenbean]

At the end of the day, in my humble opinion, all this internet frenzy regarding step mom has done NOTHING to bring Kyron home. There are many ways to react to a stressful situation. No one way is more right or more wrong than another. I still hold to the idea that if LE thought SM did this and acted alone at the very least they would have identified her as a POI by now.

Truthfully, I doubt that the internet frenzy that surrounds any case has ever helped. That's why I mostly keep my mouth shut. I am not sleuthy enough to find Kyron or any child on the internet. Look at what the posting of Zaneida Gonzalez's myspace did to her.

I can't look at many more of those. He reminds me of my own little frog hunter with the specs and the wide, fearless smile. I hope wherever he is tonight he is safe and unafraid. Those pics make my chest ache. If I was in his family I would have to be somewhere, heavily sedated.

 

[believe09]

you know unless i am wrong i've never seen the police say she is a POI. but we are now allowed to say stuff about her based on 'mainstream media' that gets its sources off a website that uses 'sources' not affiliated with the case.

i feel like i'm watching riley fox part 2

I understand where you are coming from kbl-sure, now we can "say stuff" but not bash. No bashing. No comments about things that are irrelevant.

No name calling, no wild speculation with nothing to back it up. I think it is fair.

I am not sold on her participation in the disappearance. I personally do not have even a guess. There is not enough out there to make an educated guess, so people are going to pick apart to the nth degree the few things that are out there...so hit the alert button kbl if you see something that crosses the line... ((hugs))

im not sold on anything in this case. if step mom didnt do it the police are looking in the wrong place and selling that there not looking at her.

and its not just step mom now either. someone opened a thread the other day ripping bio mom's letter to kyron, talking about setting up an 'alibi' and using 'me and 'i' way too many times.

if i was dad and bio mom i'd call off tommorows press confrence. cause im sure tehre will be 70,000 amatuer 'body language' experts to dissect every minute thing they do.

i'll say, i knew casey anthony was guilty the first time i heard '31 days'

i knew susan smith killed her boys the minute she blamed the imaginary black man.

i just have no feel on this case at all

I agree about Casey Anthony and Susan Smith.

And yet, Jaycee Dugard's stepfather's story was really no more believable: he saw a man and woman force his stepdaughter into their car, so he hopped on a bike and followed them for a few blocks until they lost him. What could be less believable than that? Everyone at the time knew that a woman would never help a man abduct a child. And following them on a bicycle? Likely story! He was widely believed to be guilty.

Except... everyone was wrong. What her stepfather said was the truth. A woman did help a man abduct a child. He did hop on the bicycle to try to stop them.

This case could be equally strange.

I know I have been wrong many times. In fact, I am probably the worst person in the world at guessing the murderer in a murder mystery.

There's more family involved than just the SM who is said to be the last one with Kryon before he disappeared. Kyron's stepfather is LE, so I'm trusting that he knows best with the investigation and there is a good reason that he and his wife are not going on the round of TV shows. Maybe they just don't like them, or maybe they are afraid the case will be jeopardized if it all turns into a who-dun-it debate on these shows. I can understand why TM and Kyron's dad aren't, because there were insinuations about her from the very beginning. A person would be a fool to put themself out there very much after that.

you know a bit off topic but the colleen stan case had already happened by june 1991 so i dont know how it was inconcievable that it was possible that carl was telling the truth about the woman. i think what put him at risk was he convienently couldnt find his car keys and instead chased them on a bike..........if he had had a cell phone in 1991 this probably would turn out diffrently?

i was only 16 then but i remember the case from AMW and a peoples magazine article later that year. it never dawned on me that he had done anything. if i'd know the facts then as i know now, and jaycee was still missing, the first thing i would think is 'he had an hour to kill her and dispose of her body after her mom left for work, not freaking likely.'

but thats just the thing with this case. i have no idea WHAT to think.

This is not a thread to pass judgment on Kaine and/or Desiree for not publicly pleading for Kyron's safe return, but I am baffled by the assertion that someone has him, and yet the lack of pleading with that person to return him.

Why do you think neither Desiree nor Kaine are pleading with Kyron's abductor to return him?

 

[gardeness]

I am baffled right along with you. They put so much effort into pleading with Terri--why not with whomever has actual possession (as they seem to think) of Kyron?

 

[mmmagique]

Some reasons I can think of:

1. Certain personality types enjoy being begged and they don't want to give a certain someone that satisfaction.

2. They know in their hearts that something horrible has happened, and that there is no reason to beg at this time.

3. They know that the type of persons/people who would do such a thing would not be moved by their pleading; they have other things to accomplish.

These are all just speculation and guessing.

My impression is that Kaine and Desiree seem sure that the way to find Kyron is through Terri..so why plead with the unknown? If that's the case, why appear on national TV - why not stay close to Portland and hire a PI? moo hoo

After 3 months of unidirectional blame of Terri, I doubt either would be able to think of other options/alternatives. moo & hoo

 

[BeanE]

I was wondering about the same thing earlier today.

It could be that LE has told them not to, for example, if the FBI profilers have determined it could actually put Kyron on even greater danger.

But if LE hasn't cautioned them not to, it may be worth them giving it a shot. Talking about Kyron, humanizing him, etc.

They should consult with LE first though, and probably meet with the FBI to find out exactly what to say and what not to say.

For that matter, I wonder why LE hasn't made a plea.

Perhaps because it has never done any good. In any case that I am familiar with, anyway.

I cannot find the link now, so this may only be a rumour. I think I remember reading a while back that Shawn Hornbeck's abductor got a kick out of reading the local media stories about the search for Shawn, which included his parents' pleas for his safe return.

If that is true, then I believe that there is a chance that if someone is holding Kyron, hearing a plea from KH or DY might actually feed their drive to hold Kyron captive. In other words, it could do more harm than any good that it might do.

If someone is holding Kyron, I think there's a good chance they are getting sick jollies from watching all the media coverage, etc. No point in feeding the sickness.

Besides, such pleas take a huge emotional toll on the family. They have to prioritise where they put their time and energy because they do not have limitless amounts of either.

I agree mmmagique, but also think they have followed LE's direction to a T.

Could it be they don't know??? Terri carried out this crime to gain(pay back) $$ & also to vent her anger at Desiree & especially Kaine. Terri wants them to suffer for (imagined) slights . The people who have Kyron are taking payment from Terri,not Kyron's real parents.
