One month after the disappearance of 7-year-old Kyron Horman, police reportedly said a landscaper told them the Oregon boy's stepmother tried to hire him to kill her husband, Kaine Horman.
After a month with no trace of Kyron the family still hopes for his safe return.The allegation, first reported in The Oregonian but confirmed by ABC News affiliate KATU-TV in Portland through a source close to the investigation, thickens the cloud of suspicion surrounding Terri Horman, the last person to see Kyron before he went missing on June 4
The landscaper allegedly told police that Terri Horman approached him about killing her husband six or seven months before Kyron disappeared, the sources said.

Think when one is ID'd, as having serious issues such as those that invite such 'extreme response', as a problem solving MO; there is no going back to giving benefit of doubt. Extreme personalities - are by definition - extreme.. .
More definitively, it IS heartbreaking to see the photos of this little boy; who by what appears by a 'shyness'; to reach out to a life made 'larger' by the wearing of his glasses; and know that he has more than likely, met an 'end' that was as unfair and unjust and as outrageous, as a little boy's disappearance from Life, can be.
(Again, do not think extreme, troubled individuals find 'logical, safe, and reasonble solutions to problems.) As much as we would like to imagine otherwise. . .
That said; WHOMEVER, took this child; had better meet Justice, full bore. . .and I hope and pray that it will be soon, for this family's sake.(guess, I could go back a 'refresh' on this story; or maybe, just wait for more facts to bring more light to this very sad story).
And yes, he could be alive and 'somewhere'; but not a 'somewhere' that allows any peace, whatsoever.
Terri, the stepmother, drove him to school that morning in their white truck (there's confusion on transporting the diorama back and forth in the truck). Many people verified she was at the school. She took the picture. She claims to have left the school at 8:45 and last saw Kyron heading to his classroom. Another student, and possibly two, said they saw and/or spoke to him shortly after that time. No one, that I know of, witnessed him leaving the school. At 1:21 that afternoon, Terri posted the picture on her computer.
From your WS link - Someone said they thought the teacher was cya. I agree. She lost a student. By whatever means or reason, he wasn’t in her class and she dropped the ball. He was in school at 8:45 and maybe as late as 9-9:15. The bell rang and the class was were supposed to break up into groups to tour the fair. A volunteer (Tanner’s substitute?) was to take Kyron’s group. Can other classmates verify if they saw him in their group? Parents and guests were still coming and going. At some point, the volunteer didn’t get her count right (5 instead of 6 kids) so she asked where Kyron was. Did the volunteer ever see him? The teacher said he was probably in the restroom. Why was no one concerned why he didn’t come back from the restroom (we don’t know if he went to the restroom or not) and had he asked permission from someone to go to the restroom? The teacher marked him absent at 10 assuming he’d gone to the doctor. So, which is it? Either he was at the doctor or in the restroom and never came back? And IF he was supposed to be in the talent show (another rumor?) later that day then why didn’t the teacher check with Terri to see if he’d be back from the doctor’s to participate in the show?
I’m thinking the breaking up into groups time is critical. I understand the teacher was probably stressing that morning but she dropped the ball. IIRC, there were 40-ish second graders so I’m guessing that’s two classrooms with 20-ish kids in each. With 6-ish kids in each group, that makes one group for the teacher, Kyron’s group with a volunteer, and the last group with... who? So, that means there was at least one other volunteer for his class. What did this person/s see?
Ya know, looking at the above picture, it would be very hard to see much of what was going on because the large dioramas would hide behaviors and actions and people. Add so many people coming and going, well, there would be lots of distractions and no one would be paying any attention to anything out of the norm. Hey, it wasn’t a normal day. Can we also assume some parents and guests stayed the day to watch the talent show? The inside of the school would have been easy to sneak off with a kid. The only thing is getting them across the parking lot or past windows outside. If he went willingly (Terri or someone he knew), then no one would have paid any attention but that’s chance-y because they might be seen or another parent stopping them to say good morning and asking what his project was. But a screaming and kicking kid would be noticed. If he went by himself, someone would probably have noticed that, too because he should have been in class. Who’s to say he might have been hidden somewhere in the school and taken out sometime later. Of course, a car parked by an exit and he could be gone in a split second. Then there’s those trees right up at the building blocking the view and it’s just a quick dash to the woods.
I've seen very little more about this, but this is why the LE seem to discount his memory.
THIS may be the reason why Kaine soon thereafter mentioned that he believed that Kyron might have left school with someone whom he knew, NOT Terri, but somebody whom Terri had introduced Kyron to.
The video footage has not been released to the public.
Early in the investigation it was publically reported that the current President of PTA saw Terri and Kyron while that photograph was being taken on Friday morning, inside Kyron’s schoolroom.
Terri got her B.A. in education from Northwest Christian University and was described as having LOTS of Christian friends.
I find it strange that no mention of her church has ever been made in the press, nor online.
TIA
The white truck driven by the stepmother that day only has to somehow be involved in what happened. Either she needed the truck for the disappearance or she wanted to avoid being noticed in her usual car.
Ok, my head is exploding so it’s break time...
Kaine Horman mentioned on Friday that Terri frequently used the truck, and when she did, he’d use her red Mustang to drive to & fro work at Intel.

Running for Their Lives
By Jane Sims Podesta, David Van Biema, Paula Chin
Defying the Law to Save Their Children from Alleged Sexual Horrors, Fugitive Parents Turn to Their Last Hope: the New Underground Railroad.
The voice that summoned Vicki Korolko into the Underground came whispering over the phone from six states away.
She had come a long way to hear it. She had been running for six days, putting desperate miles between herself and her home in Fort Smith, Ark.; between her precious daughter, Sarah, 5, who sat beside her in the battered Ford pickup, and her ex-husband, Joseph, who Vicki was convinced was a monster.
She had fled in near panic, grabbing only the bare essentials -- some clothes, Sarah's favorite doll, $400 in cash and a 20-pound stack of legal documents from the case that was provoking their flight. She hadn't done much long-range planning -- how do you chart a journey to an unknown destination? The only thing that mattered to her was getting Sarah away from Joseph, who Vicki alleged had been sexually abusing the child, and out of reach of the local chancery court, which had declared Vicki an overprotective mother and ordered that Joseph be given full custody.
Vicki saw her flight as a rescue, but knew that in the eyes of the law she was a fugitive. Although she did not for an instant regret abducting Sarah, she had no idea what her next move should be. She......
Does anybody have any idea what is the title/subject of her Master's thesis?
TIA
".....On the other hand, radical fundamentalist evangelical religious groups make a very tight-knit network and can be convinced to do just about anything when they believe GOD is on their side. And such individuals can often justify anything they want to do in their own private universe by simply putting the stamp of GOD on their (mis)deeds.
History is full of this.
These underground networks wouldn't really fit the category of "willing strangers" as such. Each person 'down the chain' is a 'brother' or 'sister' to all the others and is carrying out GODS WORK, dontcha know. Sacred mission and all.
"My opinion is these people vacate their own rational sensibilities, leaving a void within that allows [____] to reign."
He has also said that there was no logical reason for her to use the truck that day if she wasn’t going to pick up the science fair project in the morning.
Yager was from way back many years ago. She must be at least 70 by now. She was on tv many times back in the 80s and early 90s. I recall her saying that she didn’t take anyone until she had interviewed them several times and that what they were telling her was true. She would refuse to help many because she didn’t think they would be able to mentally hold up and go running back to the abusive spouse on a wild hair. I think she would arrange transportation and paperwork and a short stay at a safe house but that they would have to make it on their own after that. To some she is a hero, to others she is the devil incarnate.
What, you think she and Hussein shared notes, lol?
I doubt she wrote a thesis entitles, HOW TO FIND THE CHILDREN OF THE UNDERGROUND, but it still would be interesting to learn.
ANYHOOOO.... no new news in days, I'm taking a sabatical from the Kyron Horman missing child case.
Talk to you later, but MUCH later, LOL
