Relisha Rudd Is Still Missing

Relisha Rudd is still missing, and has been missing for almost a year. The suspect in her case committed suicide last year, and without his testimony, finding her is an even bigger challenge than most missing persons cases. It's time to search again in all the areas that have yielded any forensic clues, and to utilize search dogs and radar. Relisha has always deserved better than to just be forgotten.

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.

May 25 Is National Missing Childrens' Day

In 1983, President Ronald Reagan declared May 25 National Missing Childrens' Day, to remind everyone that Etan Patz, who disappeared en route from his home to the school bus in New York, had not been found after disappearing in 1979. There are many unresolved missing persons cases involving children, and before Etan Patz's case, no one wanted to give these cases much publicity or notice. It was all too easy to pretend these things never happen, and that most American neighborhoods are "safe". Even today, it is often a formidable task to convince our media to air stories about missing children or keep their pictures in circulation until they are found.

The husband of a Kansas congresswoman even stated, after a child was abandoned by a teacher, four miles away from school, in Frankfort Kansas during a school activity, that it was a "good thing" that the child was left in a rural area, and not in her native Washington DC. His reasoning was that "those things don't happen in the country". The child's mother informed him that in Washington DC, there are cameras, eyewitnesses who care more about missing children than the pensions of dumbass teachers who "lose" them, and cell phone signals. In Northeast Kansas, a missing child cannot depend on those things. Also, the child's mother asked the husband of her representative if he had heard of more bodies being dumped in plain sight in urban areas post mortem, or "in the country", where evidence is harder to find?

Rescue Missions

I have never been a fan of Christian organizations of any kind, but lately, Rescue Missions have stepped up their level of cruelty. There are homeless people whose issues exceed the expertise of the average shelter volunteer, but would the mythical Jesus Icon have split up a family, thrown them out of the shelter, and left two parents and a five year old boy with no place to sleep? Why did they harm a woman in her seventies, making it impossible for her to work or attend classes? Are her pursuits not important to Rescue Missions? If demoralizing and otherwise harming those who happen to be vulnerable for one reason or another is the method of choice to further one's own agenda, consider the information publicized.

Terri Horman Gets Another Fifteen Minutes Of Fame

On September 14, 2012, John Walsh, of America's Most Wanted will feature Kyron Horman's missing persons case. He did this once in the past, but only to show Kyron's picture, not to speak about the case in depth. The new episode; however, will discuss the case in depth. Terri Horman was just another bored housewife before June 4, 2010, when seven year old Kyron disappeared from his school in Portland Oregon. Then she failed two polygraphs while discussing her activities on that day with law enforcement and made national headlines. Further problems with her testimony picqued the curiosity of reporters and bloggers, and she has been a subject of discussion ever since. On June 1, of this year, she made the headlines again, when Kyron's mother, Desiree Young, filed suit against her for custodial interference. Of course, Terri's lawyers tried very hard to have this case dismissed, but that did not work. There is publicity for Terri every time a motion is filed in that case and every time a decision is made. And now there is coverage by America's Most Wanted. It looks like Terri Horman just can't get any privacy these days! What's really interesting is that John Walsh thinks that Terri might be culpable in some way for Kyron's disappearance! Imagine that! John Walsh is planning to detail how the evidence points to Terri. She'll be famous, once again. How exciting for her family..........

There have been tips given to authorities about Kyron that have not been verfiable from Oregon, Washington, Idaho, California, Texas, Florida, and probably more places. There is also a $50,000 reward. Hopefully, if Kyron has not been located before this episode of America's Most Wanted airs, the tip that will bring him home will be called in to the show. After Kyron is home and Terri's fifteen minutes of fame are over, things will eventually become bearably routine again for her parents and her adult son. After Kyron is home.

 

Terri, Where's Kyron?

 

I Haven't Forgotton Terri Horman

I didn't forget you, Terri Horman. I'll still remind you of Kyron at least once a week, because someone from another part of the country stated on Facebook today that on the East Coast, the Kyron Horman case is not getting any publicity. Well; since that's the case, I will post this:

Perhaps, Terri, if you do any traveling over Thanksgiving, you'll notice this. Lots of missing people from various walks of life have been identified through photos and the publicity of their cases. I hope and pray that Kyron will. The publicity and the billboards will all fade into the background after Kyron comes home, Terri.
