More About The Kyron Horman Case

On June 4, it will be seven years since Kyron Horman disappeared from his Portland, Oregon school during a science fair. He was seven years old. There has seemingly been no trace of him during that time, and the only clues have been the behaviors, threats, and comments made by his some time step parent, Terri Moulton Horman, who, since her divorce from Kyron's father, now uses her maiden name, Moulton. She also lives in California, and uses the address of a relative there, while actually residing in other places around the state, mostly in the Sacramento area.

One of the reasons Terri Moulton is divorced from Kyron's father is that she allegedly attempted to convince another person to murder her husband. This came to light several weeks after Kyron went missing. She was never charged with the crime, and police were much more interested in finding Kyron at the time, but Kaine, Kyron's father, still was spooked enough to get a restraining order against her and begin divorce proceedings. Something else that has come to light during the past several months, in addition to Moulton's enhancement of her criminal record in California, is that in 1990, she allegedly attempted to have someone she was dating murdered! A laptop computer that once belonged to Moulton has also been seized. At this writing, law enforcement has not released many details, except to say that the investigation has recently included these things.

There is a new age progressed picture of Kyron, showing how he might look at age fourteen. As before, if anyone knows anything about Kyron's whereabouts, please call the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office at 503-823-3333 or 503-261-2847. (tip line)

Fourteen Years, Terri Horman's Cold Case

It's Monday again, time for me to remind Terri Horman, sometime step parent of Kyron Horman, pictured left, who disappeared from his school in Portand Oregon on June 4, 2010, about a cold case in recent American history that has been solved against all odds, and surprised everyone. I think I will depart, just this once, from crimes, but write about something that was found after fourteen years. I just read about this the other day, and I though it was cool beyond description.

In February of 1997, George Tereshkovich, of Texas, was aboard a ship, traveling with his wife. While near Australia, he put a message in a bottle, along with a business card with contact information from the college where he taught in 1997, and threw it into the water. Then, he never really gave it any thought again. Until April, of 2011. Would you believe, Terri, that the bottle was found, with the note and business card intact, on a beach in Australia, over six thousand miles away from where Tereshkovich threw it into the ocean? The couple contacted the school from which Tereshkovich had retired and had them find him. He was stunned that after fourteen years, someone had actually found that bottle.

My point is that I do not think Kyron will stay hidden forever, Terri. In fact, there really are no true secrets. Just as ocean currents seem to seek land, upon which to deposit objects that have been "lost" in their tides, the murky currents of of the collective human consciousness often seeks balence in similar fashion. If you were involved in Kyron's disappearance, someone knows about it. You may have been intimidated or counseled into silence; you may have intimidated or threatened someone else into silence, but do you really think details can or will stay hidden forever? Just look at Jaycee Dugard's case, or Shawn Hornbeck's case. The details and the victims stayed hidden for awhile, but not forever. Clues, cell phone records, DNA, fingerprints, eyewitness accounts, a message in a bottle.........you can count on the currents to put everything back, eventaully, on dry land.
