A Debt That Has To Be Paid

If you really want to play this game with me, remember that I do not see it as revenge. In my world, it's a debt that has to be paid.

Terri Horman, Polygraphs, And Name Changes

Terri Horman abandoned her most recent venture to change her name. This is appropriate, because there is still an open investigation into the case of a missing child named Kyron Horman. He disappeared from his school in Portland Oregon in 2010, when he was seven years old. Terri Horman, his stepmother, was the last person to see him that day. To date, she has not answered any question about Kyron, or the day he went missing, truthfully.

It seems that several individuals have "comment bombed" nearly every publication that airs information about Kyron, including Facebook, with complaints that no information was ever released regarding Terri Horman and polygraph examinations. This is simply not true. Kaine Horman cited the information in his complaint for divorce and his petition for primary custody of his daughter, Kiara. Also, James Moulton, Terri's son, discussed the polygraph results with family members who were later interviewed by Willamette Weekly. The "comment bombers" can rest assured that Terri Horman did, indeed, earn the suspicion cast upon her. How does feverish defense of a de facto or a not so terribly de facto suspect in a missing persons case become so all encompassing, anyways?

Terri Horman Has Another Identity Crisis

Terri Moulton Horman, former stepmother of missing Kyron Horman, who disappeared from his school in Portland, Oregon in 2010, when he was seven, wants to try to change her name. She has already tried this once, and the court in Douglas County, Oregon decided against it. Not only had she chosen the name of a foreign national whose hair color and complexion are similar to her own, which could easily create a passport nightmare in the event that a warrant is issued for her arrest, but finding Ms. Horman in another country in the first place would be difficult. Because Ms. Horman is the last person known to have seen Kyron on the day he went missing, the public's best interest would be served if she would cooperate with law enforcement and answer their questions about the day Kyron disappeared from his school before changing her identity. She refuses, and has failed two polygraph examinations, which leaves a gaping hole in the investigation and forces authorities to consider her as a possible suspect in this case, rather than a mere witness. Under those circumstances, Douglas County determined in August that Ms. Horman should not change her name.

Questions indicating deception on Terri Horman's polygraph examinations.

Terri Horman's new court date in Lane County, Oregon is on December 11, 2014. To date, she has not cooperated with law enforcement in Kyron's missing persons case and has not answered their questions. A petition protesting the name change is circulating right now, and will be hand delivered to the court during the hearing. You can click here to sign it. 

Treat The Goddess With Respect

I could not have said it better.

Anonymous To Ferguson

Anonymous has postulated a suggestion that all the ado and delays, such as stalling about disclosing the name of the offending officer to completely militarizing Ferguson, Missouri; was really a pathetic attempt to buy more time in order to come up with a really good excuse and story to explain why a white cop would shoot another unarmed black teenager. Sounds logical to me. How many times do they want to sell this theme? Michael Brown was shot because a police officer and a police force thought there should not be a problem with killing him. He was not a robbery suspect, and did not have a criminal record. He wasn't even "in the wrong place at the wrong time".

Hopefully, authorities in the Midwest will start to understand what they are doing when they pull the pendulum of racism and violence so far in one direction that when it is released, it cannot help but swing an equal distance in the opposite direction.

A Moulton By Any Other Name

A Moulton by any other name. Would it still be a Moulton? We may find out one day soon, as Terri Moulton Horman, former step parent of missing Kyron Horman, wants to change her name to Claire Stella Sullivan. After failing two lie detector tests after Kyron disappeared from his second grade class at school and walking out on a third lie detector test, refusing to help in any way with the subsequent searches, giving at least half a dozen accounts as to her whereabouts on June 4, 2010, when Kyron went missing, and sending naked pictures of herself to one of her husband's friends while everyone else in the family, with the notable exceptions of her parents, were passing out flyers with Kyron's picture and contact information; it's probably obvious why Terri would feel embarrassed and unpopular enough to consider changing her name. How she settled on "Claire Stella Sullivan" is anyone's guess!

Will a name change even help Terri Moulton Horman's image very much? It might, as long as Terri never develops any close friendships. The internet-free past probably would have offered her better luck at starting over, after all of the bad publicity she's received, with a new name. But in this day and age, anyone can google her new name and find out, in a matter of minutes, that a mystery involving a missing child is in her past. The most likely result, upon such a discovery, is complete personal rejection, no matter the context of the perspective relationship. Not many people would even buy Tupperware from Terri Moulton Horman.

Some parents and families of missing children, such as the family of Etan Patz, try not to move house, or even change their telephone numbers until their missing children are found. If Kyron is still alive, and looking for his family, (yes, I think it's important to hope for the best until informed otherwise) won't it be easier to locate them if they do not change their names? Just something for Claire Stella Sullivan a.k.a. Terri Moulton Horman to think about, in addition to any unpaid child support or other debt left over from her recent divorce from Kyron's father.

California Answers The Call Of A Michigan Pig

Remember a few weeks ago, when a sixty year old woman named Jamie Lewis was arrested in California for a prison escape in Michigan way back in 1977? Law enforcement in California immediately deferred to law enforcement in Michigan and popped right over to Ms. Lewis's home and arrested her forthwith for the jailbreak, and in an ongoing effort to embarrass the poor woman in front of her neighbors and children, told reporters that she had "changed her name"....something most women do at their weddings.......and had thus eluded capture for thirty-seven years. As it turns out, Ms. Lewis had turned herself in all the way back in 1982, and the case had been revisited, at which time she was sentenced to time already served, AHEM, and released. The offending "name change" did not occur until a year later. How's that for a state that routinely allows that statute of limitations to elapse when collecting and analyzing evidence for rape? On February 4, 2014, the day Jamie Lewis's false arrest made the news, California had an estimated backlog of 400,000 rape kits that had not been processed. Some of this evidence dates back to the early nineties. The victims in these cases are constantly told that someone will get back to them, and finally, they stop asking about this elusive and non-occurring justice. But......there is always time and resources for the California judicial system to  answer the call of a pig in another state and arrest someone for whom there is no arrest warrant. Yeppers.

Who The Hell Chooses This Name For A Business?

Here's another creepy business logo: Asgrow. It kinda looks like Ass-grow, and it's the name and logo of a seed company. So......exactly what type of seed do they sell, and what do they grow? My inclination would have been to choose a different moniker for the company; I'm not sure I would try to sell seeds bearing a name that suggests the cultivating or enlargement of a certain body part. Kinda makes me wonder what other types of seeds they may be working on.....perhaps something like this?

Who The Hell Chooses This Name For A Business?

Here's another interesting Midwest business logo! This is one of a chain of convenience stores in the Midwest. Who, on earth, thought of that name? Would you go inside and eat something bought in a place called "Kum and Go"?

Keep Questioning Authority

This is an interesting video of an encounter between a law student and a police officer. The law student carried a handgun, not concealed, as permitted by law. The police officer harassed him. He did not give his name to the police officer, and gave information about various court cases, instead. Eventually, the officer was obliged to give him back his gun, and stop unlawfully detaining him.

Unless a police officer is arresting a person, that person is under no obligation to reveal a name, or any other information. And if a person is under arrest, a name is all that's required; not a social security number, not even an address.
