...Then, she's telling her husband she loves him right before she starts sexting his old buddy that she hardly knows.
It is the cumulative effect. It's not one thing cherry-picked out by itself.
Likewise, it is the cumulative effective of
....the Landscaper's accusation of MFH
....The fact that Kaine WHO HAD BEEN PROTECTIVE OF HER..believed whatever LE told him about the MFH and successfully got a RO and custody of Baby K.
...The fact that Terri has never spoken in her own defense, spoken of her agony over Kyron, or fought to be with her Toddler child.
...the police fliers targeting HER and her friend.
...the absolute conviction of the parents of this little boy
...the fact her own attorney called her a "de facto suspect."
That's a LOT of stuff coming together IMO. So it is not just her driving record that casts doubt on her character for me or leads me to believe she is a credible suspect. In due time we will know more...but the cumulative effect of all this suffices for me for now.
IMO, it doesn't seem prudent to take nuggets of information or gossip and spin them to support a theory. It makes much more sense to use valid evidence or proof.
Do we know if Terri knew that she was marrying a meth addict with AIDS? I don't--and this piece of information is supposed to support the allegation that Terri made "bad choices" and, therefore, has a questionable character?
Do we know the circumstances of J's adoption? Even the adoptive grandparents didn't give those details, if they ever knew of them.
Do we know that Terri knew that Desiree was pregnant--or what the date was when she found out Desiree was pregnant? Do we know what Kaine told Terri about Desiree being pregnant?
Where does it state that Terri sexted the LS? The "sexual overtures" were what were similar, not the texting. Texting is not a sexual overture, just as making a phone call or mailing a letter is not a sexual overture--it's what is said, or written, that is the sexual overture.
all moo
On the contrary, a person's behavior and actions all go towards character. If this information wasn't prudent, we wouldn't have trials where people are called to testify on behalf of the accused, also known as 'character witnesses'.
to refresh your memory:
Terri Horman has been sending sext messages...or "sexting" a high school friend of missing Oregon boy Kyron Horman's father Kaine. Michael Cook is the same man Terri Horman has allegedy been having a sexual affair with, and the one to whom she violated the court order by showing him the sealed restraining order issued by the judge.
A report on the Today Show this morning included authorities reporting that the sexting has involved Terri Horman sending photos of herself in various stages of undress and performing sexual acts to Michael Cook. She also allowed Michael Cook to photograph the sealed restraining order with his cell phone. The restraining order included Kaine Horman's new address, where he relocated with the couple's 19-month old daughter.

Please show me where Terri has shown concern, remorse, shed real tears, worry, loss of sleep and so on, for Kyron's disappearance. Afterall, she raised him from just a few months, right? So if she really loved and cared for him, would she not be displaying these reactions? Or cooperating with authorities?
Its disturbing she would go to the gym to work out, pack up his things, rearrange his room, go about her life as if nothing out of the ordinary has occurred.
I can tell you that if my child went missing, the
last thing I would be doing is sexting a high school friend of my husband's and sending lewd pictures to him via camera phone.
How does anyone condone her not only allowing MC to see the restraining order, but to photograph it - especially since it had disclosed Kaine's location, which MC looked up online to see where it was?
You don't find it worrisome that she had her friends to buy disposable cell phones so they could have 'private conversations' not detected by LE. OR that she went out the next day and purchased additional phones using the more than likely fictitious name her friends used?
Don't you find it rather cold and uncaring that she had the school notify Desiree that Kyron was missing, instead of telling her herself? All the while sitting in the office at the school while they called Desiree?
