Reporter Asks Kaine: Were there red flags?

Kyron Horman’s parents share details about their son, the search and Terri Moulton Horman

A reporter asks Kaine Horman and Desiree Young, missing boy and biological parents to Kyron, if there were red flags with Terri Horman, Kaine’s second wife, and they both respond yes.

Desiree Young tells us that when she talked to Terri the day Kyron went missing, things didn’t seem right to her. She had a motherly intuition that something was wrong.

Kaine said, “In the natural course of actions, she (Terri) was separating herself. I don’t think it was purposefully, but it was just apparent…”

Desiree says, “This is the stuff you write in novels. This is not our life. It’s just a little boy. I just don’t understand it.”

I think Desiree is distancing herself from Kyron because she refers to Kyron as, “It’s just a little boy.” It doesn’t flag me in any way with deception. It just clues me in how she is coping with this nightmare.

The reporter asks Desiree what is was like when Terri was hugging both of them in the first presser, when she had these suspicions, and Desiree replies, “Extremely frustrating, um, its hard for me because I am not really a fake person. What you see is…I wear my emotions and I don’t have a face I put on for other people… It’s extremely difficult to stand next to somebody you know is lying about your son and where he is.”

I personally do not believe that Kaine was suspicious of Terri during the first press conference (which I wasn’t sure of at that time). I think it took him more time to come around, but that would absolutely be expected. He was much more emotionally invested in “his family unit”.

Several people have commented that Kaine is not very emotional. It doesn’t strike me as unusual for “him”. I do think he has been through the war with all that is going on, and he has found his rock in Desiree, his ex-wife, who is there for him and supporting him. I suspect both Desiree and Tony Young have been kind to Kaine, which is amazing. Many ex-wives would resent their ex-husband for putting them in this position, but Desiree seems to have a compassionate and kind heart. Kaine is lucky for that. He has a compassionate shoulder to lean on.
