The landscaper who claims Kyron Horman's stepmother offered him "a large sum of money" to kill her husband recently went back to Terri Moulton Horman at the request of police, according to a local report.

Wearing a body wire and accompanied by an undercover officer during a June 26 meeting, the landscaper told Horman he wanted $10,000 or he'd go to authorities with the alleged murder-for-hire plot, The Oregonian reports.

Horman, the stepmother of missing Oregon boy Kyron Horman who has come under police scrutiny, cut off the conversation fairly quickly, sources tell the paper.

The first time I heard this report (on our local Southern Orgeon evening news program), the fact that the step-mom claimed the boy disappeared while on his way to class struck me as odd, since it left open the question of how did she know he was walking to class when, according to her story, she'd just dropped him off at school.

This story has gotten a lot of coverage here and--sad to say--the growing suspicion regarding the step-mom does not surprise me. And that's just sad!
