Where is Kyron Horman?

The disappearance of Kyron Horman is one of the biggest cases in Oregon. Kyron was last seen at his school, Skyline Elementary on June 4th, 2010. He was taken to the school by his stepmother Terri Horman. She stayed with him before the first bell to attend a science fair in which Kyron's project would be displayed. This is a picture that she took of him next to his display:



This is the last picture of him before he disappeared that day. When this first happened, I was too young to really get to deep into this case. All I knew was that a boy had disappeared and no one knew where he was. I remember hearing that his stepmom had tried to change her name and moved away right after his disappearance and this is when things got sketchy. She was the last person who saw him, so how couldn't she be a suspect? I started to look around to see if I could find anything else about her, this is when I found her interview with Dr. Phil. She had gone on his show just last year to speak about his disappearance. I watched interviews from her side as well as from Kyron's parents and even the investigators that were handling the case, these are some of the things that made me suspect even more that Terri could be responsible with Kyron's disappearance:

1.     Right after Kyron's disappearance, it was revealed by police that the family's landscaper came forward and told them that Terri tried to hire him to help her kill her husband, Kyron's father, Kaine Horman. When asked, about the attempt,  he couldn't believe it at first but afterwards he filed for divorce and got a restraining order against her.
2.     Just three weeks after Kyron's disappearance, it was revealed that Terri was sexting one of Kaines friends. This is not normal behavior for a mother who is grieving the loss of their child. In the interview, she claims that she only did it to get back at Kaine for infidelity from his part. 
3.     Kyron's parents and stepparents were all ordered to take polygraph tests; Terri actually had to take 2 and failed both.
4.     She tried to change her name to Claire Sullivan, which is actually a name out of a murder story.
5.     Kyron's mom says that there are a few witnesses including one of  Kyron's friends that say they saw him walk out with Terri that day.
6.     A police chief handling the case said that one of his teachers were told by Terri that Kyron had a doctor's appointment that day. He states that this was why the school never questioned why he was not in class that day. When Terri was questioned about this, she said that she meant the following Thursday, the 11th. The chief then went on to explain that this is irrelevant because the day Kyron went missing was the last day of school, so it would not matter to the school if he had an appointment the following week.

Although they have all these clues, Terri has never been officially named a prime suspect or even a person of interest. Getting deeper into this case has convinced me that Terri is responsible for Kyron’s disappearance. It has now been almost 7 years since Kyron has been missing, I hope for his parent's sake they get the answers that they are looking for. The Kyron Horman case is still currently open.

  1. It's hard to read about cases when they're local -- at least for me. It would be great if he was alive somewhere, but I doubt it. :-(
