Willamette Week "The Kyron Files"

[Billylee]

Kaine says investigators have never asked him outright to release any specific information, but when the family feels that doing so might help solve the case, they ask permission. Although they haven’t consulted lawyers of their own, they don’t fear any legal repercussions. “We haven’t done anything that’s exposed ourselves,” Desiree says. “We’ve been very safe about it.”


Does anyone have any idea as to what Desiree might be referring to in this quote? Exposed themselves of what? Being very safe to not do what?

 

[i.b.nora]

I found the article informative and interesting.

 

[Kat010]

Do we have a MSM link that states that Desiree has been married 3 times?

I don't have a link right at hand, but didn't she marry a) the father of her older son b) Kaine and then c) Tony? Or am I just assuming that she married the father of the first child?

Must find link. Must find link.

It's right on the first page of this thread, that is what is being discussed here in this thread.

I'm horrible with links, but I recall a MSM where the description of Desiree's life included that she and Tony were raising her son from her first marriage. Add the marriage to Kaine and then to Tony and I come up with three.

 

[Kat010]

Thanks, Jo. And I'd just been re-reading the WW article again! (Then again, I was also talking to my assistant at the same time, soooo.) Duh moment, definitely.

"She was twice divorced when she met Kaine around 2003."

ETA: This is referring to TH being married twice before Kaine.

 

[grandmaj]

Thanks for the information about Desiree's 1st I didn't recall reading that.

"Not much attention has been paid to Tony Young, Desiree’s third husband and a detective with the Medford Police Department. "

[SuziQ]

I don't see previous marriage reference about DY in that article.

ETA: I see now it was under TY's bio. So....nevermind.

"She was twice divorced when she met Kaine around 2003."

That's correct and in the article where they describe The step father, Tony young they refer to him as Desirees third husband.

I guess that she is referring to a lawsuit against her (them) for defamation of character.

Well the article says 'first husband, then refers to Kaine.

Also this:

Not much attention has been paid to Tony Young, Desiree’s third husband and a detective with the Medford Police Department.

She says they do not fear any legal reprecussions because they have not done anything to expose themselves.

IMO, they may want to consult an attorney. I'm not as sure of them being safe from civil actions as they are. I am in no way saying that anyone could definitely sue them. Just that they really need to protect themselves by discussing things with an attorney to make sure they do not cross any lines.

Yes, I agree the article was written in a way to permit speculation of something illicit. That was my point, and I wanted to point out that such speculation would invariably happen. Sometimes it's far better to provide the full truth rather than to insinuate like this and fling open the door.

I'll only add that that the non-FDA approved drug was not tylenol or anything over-the-counter that had FDA approval at the time.

And good point is made that it's possible Desiree had genetically impaired kidneys that made them more susceptible to this sort of thing.

I think you were dead on, Emma when you stated in an earlier post about the non FDA approved supplements. Ephedra is one of The non FDA approved diet supplements, my older sister had a stroke directly related from taking large amounts of Ephedra based "herbal" supplement. . She literally was "hooked" on them as a diet pill(tho already entirely too thin)and when they were taken off the market, well, immediately prior to them taken off she literally went around buying up all that was left(none of this was known by fam til after the stroke when we found what was left of her stockpiled stash of Ephedra).. I knew she took them, I knew she had to be somewhat addicted to them, but never did we dream it was cause a perfectly healthy(tho really thin)36 yr old woman, but it did and it has taken years to counteract the long term affects from the non FDA approved Ephedra(and to this day she has unstabalized BP from what the Ephedra did)

So, I can definitely see this as something Desiree could have possibly taken. And believe me, my sister was mortified and humiliated to admit to the drs. thats what she was taking, so imagine DY in the national spotlight. I'm quite certain it would be humiliating for her also, the mistake almost cost her, her life and now she just wants the focus on saving her youngest son's life.JMO

Yes, that too. Very interesting. Obviously "non-FDA approved drug" is a euphemism for something else.

Not suggesting anything illegal or illicit ... As an example - one thing that immediately comes to mind (but may be irrelevant) are the diet-type aids and diuretics...

Over the years, I've met a couple of people who experienced kidney failure from taking various kinds of herbal/natural medicine. One had failure from drinking some kind of mushroom tea (not the psychedelic kind) that was supposed to "cleanse" her system. People don't realize how dangerous and toxic some of these herbal/natural/ alternative supplements can be. Because they're not regulated, the dosage, potency and quality can be dangerous.

 

[Billylee]

“We haven’t done anything that’s exposed ourselves,” Desiree says. “We’ve been very safe about it.”


I guess that's what she could be referring to, that they have been careful not to expose themselves to a civil lawsuit. Just a funny way of putting it. Hmmm, I guess they're not afraid of publicly calling Terri "a liar" coming back to bite them, even though in that audio video, they couldn't think of a time when she'd lied in the past (other than TH lying to DS about the affair). Interesting.

 

[1Chump]

Now we also know why Desiree was sick. From taking a non-FDA approved drug that caused her kidney failure.

When I read that, my immediate thought was off-label use by doctor's of FDA approved drugs. Off label use is quite common. Once a drug has been approved by the FDA, it can be prescribed for anything. However, since the FDA has not approved it for those conditions, it is considered non-FDA approved for that condition.

Whereas OTC or illegal drugs are not usually referred to as FDA approved so it would be strange to refer to them as non-FDA approved.

IMO.

God yes. Too many people equate "natural" with "safe".

Just that they really need to protect themselves by discussing things with an attorney to make sure they do not cross any lines.

I agree, and I worry they are making legal errors, and basic strategy errors as well. PR strategy errors - stuff that comes back to bite them, encourages press/people to dig on info about them. Also, any strategy mistakes that a brilliant guy such Houze could use to Terri's advantage much later down the road... or even just her divorce attny...

(Boy oh boy, do I feel like the pot calling the kettle black, because without the family's pressers, we'd know nada about Terri's potential motives ... and I have to admit, I am interested in understanding those - if that's possible - in hopes it helps to understand what happened to Kyron.)

I want to believe they know they aren't harming the investigation - so it was good to hear (again) that they check all their public statements/discussions with LE first.

Regardless, I remain impressed with their bravery each time they endure the media glare - whether they say no comment, or hedge, or give away yet another piece of their precious privacy - because it's very clear, they are willing to endure whatever it takes - they are willing to try any angle to move the investigation to find Kyron along - for Kyron's sake.
