KGW Video of the Horman Family at a Press Conference
Kyron Horman disappeared from school June 4, 2010 after his
mother dropped him off and helped him with his science project

Kyron Horman’s father finally spoke out today. If you are not familiar with the story, I posted about it here earlier and explain the details of this case.

In the beginning of the video, when I watch Kyron’s stepmother and father, I immediately noted a resignation about them. Perhaps it is the way they bow their heads and do not look at the camera. Or perhaps it is their slumped over shoulders. Why have they given up so soon on finding their son? This concerns me. Parents of missing children hope for months and years that just maybe they will find their missing child…and often never give up. I’ve never seen parents of missing children give up in the first week. Why are Terri and Kaine?

Read moreI can’t help but wonder if there is some shame and that is why they bow there heads…

While Tony is down and concerned, he still shows us hope, though I can’t articulate why I feel this. Desiree Young, Kyron’s biological mother, also shows hope. There is a distinct difference in behavior between the two couples. Do you see it? I wish I could articulate it better.

As the interview progresses, look at the way that Terri buries her head into Desiree shoulder in the middle of Tony Young (the stepfather’s) speech. It’s as if she’s almost wanting to hide or recluse when Tony speaks. You know when little kids get embarrassed, they do this behavior. Why does Terri want to hide? It’s very notable.

When I look at Terri to discern her personality, I question if she is super shy, but I don’t get a feeling she is. We know for a fact that she helps out at Kyron’s school, which confirms she is not the reclusive type. Furthermore, when she walked out of the gym this week and avoided the media, her body language did not support she was a shy, reclusive run-away type of a woman. So what is causing her to want to recluse here? It’s intense. Terri appears very needy, too, as she keeps gravitating to everyone around her.

At one point, it even looks like Terri she can’t cope anymore. Her body language conveys the message of “I can’t take it anymore” (around 1:22). She lifts her hand towards her chest. Watch her react when Tony says, “…the community as a whole has shown how much impact one little boy’s smile can have on a community.”

Also at the very beginning of the tape when Tony starts speaking, Terri turns her head away from Tony sharply–as if to get away from what he is saying.

Watch how Terri looks up at Desiree while she has her arms around Desiree– right before Kaine speaks. Its very odd. It’s like she is hanging on Desiree for support and approval. Its like she is trying to comfort herself here instead of Desiree. Isn’t that odd? Notice how Desiree doesn’t reciprocate the embrace?

When Kaine starts speaking, watch Terri rub her arm –a gesture to comfort herself. She does this a couple of times. Terri also takes deep breaths and is doing all she can just to stand there. Her arms are pressed tight on her body in a very closed off manner.

Both Terri and Kaine are exceptionally nervous. Watch Kaine’s hands tremble as he holds the paper from which he reads. Why on earth would they be nervous? I could understand talking to the media will make anyone nervous, but the nervousness that both Terri and Kaine are feeling far exceeds what everyone else in this press conference are displaying. That is notable. Kaine may be picking up on Terri’s nerves. That is possible.

Kaine says, “Your memories and statements can help us find Kyron.”

Memories?

That’s an odd word choice. It’s not common that memories and statements find missing children. Why would Kaine be thinking about “memories”? You would think that word would be the most removed from his thoughts right now — consciously and subconsciously. I would expect him to use “remember” instead.

Yes, it is important for people to remember relevant information so why isn’t he asking people to think back and recollect anything they can–that any and all details may have relevance, no matter how small they are. Why isn’t he asking students, parents and teachers to try to recollect if there was any strangers outside the building, any strange cars–anything that might help solve this mystery! Neither parent suggest that people do a thing to help bring Kyron home. More sad to me is that neither of his parents, or biological parents spoke directly to Kyron, in case he was kidnapped and out there. Only his step-father did.

Kaine continues, “We will never be able to thank you enough for that help.” Who would think about thanking people before your son is found? It’s out of place. It doesn’t make sense. It’s the cart before the horse, frankly. Would you feel like thanking people when your child is still missing?? What is more important — keeping the search going or thanking people?

At this point, all signs are pointing that fact that Terri likely knows something, maybe even Kaine, that they are not sharing… They have definitely raised my eyebrows… I wish I could ask them direct questions. That would give me an immediate answer. I am highly suspicious of Terri right now, that is for sure.

If more interviews surface, let me know.

After I walked away from publishing this, I realized what is missing the most. It’s anger. These parents (Terri and Kaine) should be outraged that their child was safe at school and the school did not protect him! I would expect the parents to be very outspoken about this, because if Kyron was abducted or was able to walk out of school without anyone seeing him — that’s a big concern for ALL parents and children alike. I would be so furious, you couldn’t get me to contain it. I would be all over the news asking for answers from the school board. I wouldn’t be thanking a damn soul!!

Saturday, June 12 CLARIFICATION:

I need to clarify is that Terri’s behaviors in this video are NOT CONSISTENT with what we currently know in the news right now, if this is the story she is representing. If we get more information at another point, it may justify her behavior. That is all I can say at this point. To me, at this time, her behaviors are notable red flags. I cannot say that she is lying per say, but her body language is flagging me.
