- 0:00Speaker 1: Crime Stories with Nancy Grace.
- 0:07Speaker 2: A little boy goes into school bright and early one
- 0:10Speaker 2: morning for his science project, and he's never seen again.
- 0:15Speaker 2: In the last hours, a major development in the search
- 0:19Speaker 2: for little Kyne Horman. Good evening, I'm Nancy Grace. This
- 0:23Speaker 2: is Crime Stories. Thank you for being with us in
- 0:26Speaker 2: the last days. The missing person case of a little boy,
- 0:30Speaker 2: Kirne Horman is set to be reviewed by the FBI.
- 0:36Speaker 2: Kyraen disappeared from his own elementary school. His mother has
- 0:41Speaker 2: accused his then stepmother of being involved. But now a
- 0:46Speaker 2: fresh look on a cold case. What happened when little
- 0:52Speaker 2: Kyne disappeared?
- 0:53Speaker 3: Which started as another school morning soon turn into a
- 0:57Speaker 3: nightmare for parents of seven year old Hyrian Horman, who
- 1:01Speaker 3: unexplicably vanished from a school science fair, A suspicious drive,
- 1:06Speaker 3: an alleged accomplice, and a murder. For higher plot, Where
- 1:10Speaker 3: is little Kyn Horman?
- 1:13Speaker 2: This is a question that has gone through our minds
- 1:16Speaker 2: and hearts over and over and over. Joining me an
- 1:19Speaker 2: all star panel to make sense of what we are
- 1:22Speaker 2: learning about Kyn's disappearance. But first I want to go
- 1:25Speaker 2: to a very special guest. Kien's father is joining us.
- 1:30Speaker 2: Kin Horman Kane, thank you for being with us.
- 1:34Speaker 4: Hi, thanks for having me Kine.
- 1:35Speaker 2: I know you've been asked this before, specifically my police
- 1:40Speaker 2: and many many other law enforcement but could you go
- 1:44Speaker 2: back to the day that when you learn Kiren has disappeared?
- 1:50Speaker 2: Just seven years old at the time.
- 1:52Speaker 5: Yeah, I was at work that day and came home
- 1:59Speaker 5: after I was in the office and went to walk
- 2:05Speaker 5: down to the bus stop that's down our driveway and
- 2:09Speaker 5: went down to meet him when he gets off the bus,
- 2:12Speaker 5: something we do pretty much on every day. And the
- 2:16Speaker 5: bus came down and the door opened, and the bus
- 2:20Speaker 5: driver looked at us a little bit puzzled and had
- 2:24Speaker 5: mentioned that he was not on the bus, and that
- 2:26Speaker 5: came as a shock, and we talked to her for
- 2:30Speaker 5: a few minutes, at which time we ran back up
- 2:33Speaker 5: to the house and got in the car and went
- 2:35Speaker 5: up to the school to try to find out what
- 2:38Speaker 5: was happening. While we were making phone calls on the way.
- 2:40Speaker 5: So it was a very shocking situation at that point
- 2:45Speaker 5: in time. And then went to the school, talked to
- 2:48Speaker 5: the teachers and faculty up there, placed the call the
- 2:52Speaker 5: nine one one, and that's when the Sheriff's office got involved.
- 2:55Speaker 4: And just kind of evolved from there.
- 2:56Speaker 2: I'm just thinking about that trip, that frantic drive that
- 3:01Speaker 2: you made to the school came I'm projecting. I remember
- 3:07Speaker 2: I was in New York and I had just gotten
- 3:10Speaker 2: the children bathed and in their pajamas and called home
- 3:15Speaker 2: and found out my dad was on life support. Within
- 3:19Speaker 2: about fifteen minutes through, we're out on the street, trying
- 3:21Speaker 2: to hail a cab to hopefully get a flight home,
- 3:25Speaker 2: that trek, trying to get home, trying to get.
- 3:33Speaker 1: Somewhere to get to my dad.
- 3:37Speaker 2: Will you describe those moments where you are frantically on
- 3:42Speaker 2: the phone, you're driving, You're trying to get your facts
- 3:47Speaker 2: together and find out everything you can. What was going
- 3:51Speaker 2: through your mind? What happened on that trip back to
- 3:53Speaker 2: the school.
- 3:54Speaker 5: Well, it was just a very I don't know that
- 3:57Speaker 5: I have a good description of it, very visceral.
- 4:01Speaker 4: Panic. Nothing, I mean, sheer panic.
- 4:04Speaker 5: The one thing or one of you know, one of
- 4:07Speaker 5: the top things I think most parents fear is their
- 4:10Speaker 5: their children going missing. You want to protect them, you
- 4:13Speaker 5: want to be able to know where they are at
- 4:15Speaker 5: all times. And I was just panicked. It was just terror.
- 4:20Speaker 5: I don't remember much else. I remember just I think
- 4:25Speaker 5: what I've you know, learned since then about trauma response,
- 4:28Speaker 5: I think that it was in just full trauma mode
- 4:31Speaker 5: at that point in time. You know, everything just looked different,
- 4:33Speaker 5: the scenery looked different. On the drive up, there just
- 4:38Speaker 5: everything racing through my mind of you know, all the
- 4:40Speaker 5: different scenarios that could play out. But it was honestly,
- 4:44Speaker 5: it was terror. I couldn't even really explain the thoughts
- 4:48Speaker 5: at that point. It was sheer panic.
- 4:50Speaker 6: You know.
- 4:51Speaker 1: Another thing Kane Hormon guys joining us is Kyen's dad. Kane.
- 4:55Speaker 2: Many people would say it's not their fault, they just
- 5:00Speaker 2: haven't lived through it. Well, it's no big deal that
- 5:03Speaker 2: he's not on the bus, because what if he stayed
- 5:06Speaker 2: on the playground and was playing and the bus left
- 5:08Speaker 2: without him.
- 5:09Speaker 1: What if he stayed in one of the rooms and
- 5:10Speaker 1: was doing an extra assignment.
- 5:12Speaker 2: There's something called routine evidence evidence of routine. It would be,
- 5:18Speaker 2: for instance, if everybody got together and came here and
- 5:21Speaker 2: it's time to get hooked up to you and no, Nancy,
- 5:25Speaker 2: that has never happened. It means something. It's significant. How
- 5:30Speaker 2: did you know here and here in your head and
- 5:35Speaker 2: your heart when he did not get off that bus
- 5:37Speaker 2: when those doors swung open. How did you know instinctively
- 5:41Speaker 2: something was very wrong. It wasn't just playing on the
- 5:45Speaker 2: playground or staying in the classroom.
- 5:47Speaker 5: Yeah, that's exactly how you describe it. Button the bus comes,
- 5:50Speaker 5: he gets off. Every day, there's y'all want to discussion around,
- 5:55Speaker 5: you know, whether or not he was at school still
- 5:57Speaker 5: or you know, other things, and he just very routine,
- 6:03Speaker 5: Like you said, I don't know that we had a
- 6:06Speaker 5: situation where he ever missed the bus up until then.
- 6:09Speaker 5: And I'll recall him, you know, being on the playground
- 6:12Speaker 5: or in the classroom without us knowing about it. And
- 6:14Speaker 5: I think that's the main thing is usually I think
- 6:17Speaker 5: in a lot of those circumstances, if there's something after school,
- 6:20Speaker 5: you usually notified, and the school's usually really good about
- 6:24Speaker 5: doing that.
- 6:24Speaker 4: So it was just an immediate.
- 6:27Speaker 5: Response that something's definitely off, because we either would have
- 6:31Speaker 5: heard or he'd be stepping off those bus steps right now.
- 6:34Speaker 5: So exactly what you described, it was pretty much like
- 6:36Speaker 5: clockwork every day, and that was just the one day
- 6:39Speaker 5: that it wasn't.
- 6:40Speaker 1: Okay, Well you got to the school. What happened when
- 6:43Speaker 1: you got there?
- 6:44Speaker 5: I remember trying to locate teachers. The three of us
- 6:49Speaker 5: were up there, so we were trying to locate and
- 6:52Speaker 5: ask questions about, you know, where he was at, if
- 6:57Speaker 5: he was still there, kind of the things that we
- 6:59Speaker 5: just talked about, just getting a rundown. And they had
- 7:03Speaker 5: indicated that he was not there that day, that he
- 7:06Speaker 5: had been absent from school from the basically the beginning
- 7:10Speaker 5: of the day, which then was an additional shocks.
- 7:13Speaker 2: Oh my stars, that just makes my stomach hurt.
- 7:18Speaker 1: Your whole day, you're going about your.
- 7:20Speaker 2: Business, you're working, you're this, you're that, You're making calls,
- 7:23Speaker 2: you're sending emails the whole time. You think he's fine
- 7:26Speaker 2: at school, and he was not there.
- 7:29Speaker 1: He was not checked in. Right when you say the
- 7:32Speaker 1: three of.
- 7:32Speaker 2: You, I can just imagine getting to the school is
- 7:36Speaker 2: still kind of drop off pick up, everything's going crazy,
- 7:40Speaker 2: and you rushing in probably to the office, going where's
- 7:43Speaker 2: kym and where is he?
- 7:44Speaker 1: Where is he? I can't find.
- 7:45Speaker 2: Anything off the bus, And then you learn he wasn't
- 7:49Speaker 2: checked in even to his very first class.
- 7:52Speaker 1: He said, the three of you, who is with you?
- 7:54Speaker 4: His stepmom and my daughter.
- 7:56Speaker 1: Okay, let me think this through.
- 7:58Speaker 2: You get to the school and who was it that
- 8:00Speaker 2: told you he was never even here?
- 8:03Speaker 5: Yeah, honestly, I don't remember. I know we had started
- 8:07Speaker 5: talking to somebody and then more people kind of gathered
- 8:09Speaker 5: around in the.
- 8:10Speaker 4: Conversation, but I don't recall who we talked to you first.
- 8:13Speaker 2: Honestly, to seven years old at the time he goes missing,
- 8:18Speaker 2: everybody thinks he is at school that day, but he's not.
- 8:24Speaker 7: What happened that morning, Skyline Elementary School in northwest Portland,
- 8:29Speaker 7: Oregon is having their annual science fair, so the school
- 8:32Speaker 7: is opened about thirty minutes earlier than normal to allow
- 8:35Speaker 7: for parents and students to see the different projects created
- 8:38Speaker 7: by the students. Arriving at Skyline just after eight am,
- 8:41Speaker 7: Kyrine Horman and his stepmother, Terry Horman, go to his
- 8:44Speaker 7: classroom to drop off his coat and backpack. Kyrone then
- 8:47Speaker 7: chose his stepmother his exhibit called the Red Eyed tree Frog.
- 8:51Speaker 2: So Kyin Horman at school and at nuwell joining us
- 8:55Speaker 2: KATEXL News host of speaking freely with an.
- 8:58Speaker 1: At newel and thank you for being with us, Annette.
- 9:01Speaker 2: There's no question he was at school for this pre
- 9:06Speaker 2: school science fair. Now interesting. A lot of times we
- 9:11Speaker 2: don't have that distinction. This was all happening before first period,
- 9:15Speaker 2: before he goes into his homeroom.
- 9:18Speaker 1: Teacher, was this science fair? Explain?
- 9:21Speaker 8: Yeah, that was an event in which there were a
- 9:23Speaker 8: lot of people who came from throughout the community, and
- 9:26Speaker 8: there wasn't a lot of what you would say supervision.
- 9:30Speaker 8: There were people coming in and out because there was
- 9:32Speaker 8: a science fair, and the adults who were coming in
- 9:36Speaker 8: weren't really being monitored very much.
- 9:44Speaker 2: Crime stories with Nancy Grace, let's take a look at
- 9:51Speaker 2: the case of missing Karen Horman, just like the FBI
- 9:54Speaker 2: is doing now.
- 9:56Speaker 1: Came Horman with me, Kirene's dad.
- 9:58Speaker 2: So that was kind of a big morning for him
- 10:01Speaker 2: taking in the big science project. How was that morning
- 10:05Speaker 2: before he left for school? Was anything at all unusual?
- 10:08Speaker 5: No, not from my perspective. We had talked that morning
- 10:12Speaker 5: before he went up to the school, before I went
- 10:15Speaker 5: to work.
- 10:17Speaker 4: We talked outside.
- 10:18Speaker 5: He came out with me to the car before I
- 10:20Speaker 5: got in and left. I told him that I loved
- 10:22Speaker 5: him to have a wonderful day at the exposition and
- 10:26Speaker 5: that I would see him after work, and we talk
- 10:27Speaker 5: all about it. So it was just another pretty much
- 10:31Speaker 5: normal day.
- 10:32Speaker 2: What more do we know about what happened at the
- 10:35Speaker 2: school that morning?
- 10:36Speaker 1: Listen.
- 10:37Speaker 9: Terry Hormon has raised Karen since he was an infant,
- 10:39Speaker 9: and she takes a picture of Karen standing in front
- 10:41Speaker 9: of his project, posting the photo on Facebook. The two
- 10:44Speaker 9: walk around the classes looking at other students' projects and
- 10:47Speaker 9: see many other parents and children who have arrived early
- 10:50Speaker 9: for the science fair. Terry Hormon volunteers her time helping
- 10:53Speaker 9: Karen's teacher, Christina Porter, and Porter sees Karen and Terry
- 10:56Speaker 9: Hormon and Kiren's classroom that morning, and another teacher sees
- 10:59Speaker 9: Karen Terry in another classroom before the eight forty five
- 11:02Speaker 9: am school bell rings.
- 11:03Speaker 2: Caine Horman explain to me your understanding of what happened
- 11:09Speaker 2: that morning at the science Expo and how many times
- 11:13Speaker 2: he was signed. I mean, I see the picture, I
- 11:15Speaker 2: know he was there, but now I'm hearing he was
- 11:18Speaker 2: in another classroom.
- 11:20Speaker 1: What's your understanding of his movements that morning?
- 11:23Speaker 5: Yeah, So based on what I understand, again, this is
- 11:26Speaker 5: what I remember being told that they arrived at the school,
- 11:32Speaker 5: that they went to the classroom where his project was
- 11:36Speaker 5: on display. That's the photo that we've all seen already.
- 11:40Speaker 5: With him standing in front. I did see that photo
- 11:44Speaker 5: later that day on our camera as well. There was
- 11:47Speaker 5: a couple other pictures of other things in the room
- 11:50Speaker 5: from what I remember, So they did look at some
- 11:52Speaker 5: other projects in the room again from what I recall,
- 11:56Speaker 5: and then there was a description of them walking to
- 12:01Speaker 5: other classrooms and looking at other projects in those rooms.
- 12:05Speaker 5: I don't remember. I don't recall which teacher it was
- 12:09Speaker 5: that they went into. I think they went in the
- 12:11Speaker 5: multiple rooms from what I remember and what I was told.
- 12:15Speaker 5: And then then there was a discussion about them parting
- 12:21Speaker 5: ways up in the hall by the office, and he
- 12:25Speaker 5: supposedly walked down the hall back towards his classroom and
- 12:29Speaker 5: she left the building again according to what I was told.
- 12:32Speaker 5: I don't know for a fact what happened, but that
- 12:34Speaker 5: that's what I remember as the kind of the described
- 12:37Speaker 5: overview of what happened there. And again I did see
- 12:40Speaker 5: photos of the classroom in a few others, but that's
- 12:43Speaker 5: what I remember.
- 12:44Speaker 1: Okay, I'm understanding something. Really.
- 12:46Speaker 2: For the first time, this expo wasn't in one big
- 12:51Speaker 2: room like the gymnasium or the auditorium. This was it
- 12:55Speaker 2: was in different classrooms, so you would walk from class
- 13:00Speaker 2: aassroom to classroom looking at various other projects, you know,
- 13:05Speaker 2: sizing up yours compared to them. Did anybody have a
- 13:08Speaker 2: really great idea or really bad idea? You could talk
- 13:11Speaker 2: about it at the supper table that night. So they
- 13:15Speaker 2: Kyra specifically and the stepmom are going from room to
- 13:20Speaker 2: room looking at the projects. Is that correct? Yeah?
- 13:24Speaker 4: From my understanding, that's correct.
- 13:25Speaker 1: Yes, Okay.
- 13:27Speaker 2: I find that very significant because it's not a group
- 13:32Speaker 2: of people in one gymnasium, one gym with all the
- 13:36Speaker 2: projects and fifty people, one hundred people seeing Kiren. He's
- 13:42Speaker 2: walking from room to room.
- 13:44Speaker 1: In and out. Everybody's milling around looking.
- 13:47Speaker 2: Parents are there from all over looking at their children's
- 13:51Speaker 2: science projects. It's easy to get lost in the shuffle.
- 13:57Speaker 2: It's you know, you might as well be walking through
- 13:59Speaker 2: Greend Central Station. There's a million kids running around. There's
- 14:03Speaker 2: parents that don't really know each other. Who knows what happened?
- 14:08Speaker 2: Who can really get a good grip on the last
- 14:12Speaker 2: time Tyron is sane.
- 14:15Speaker 1: It's not like he disappeared off the bus. He was there.
- 14:19Speaker 2: He was there, guys, What more do we know about
- 14:23Speaker 2: that morning?
- 14:24Speaker 7: Listen as Terry Horman leaves the school, she sees Kyron
- 14:27Speaker 7: walking down a hallway toward his classroom inside Skyline Elementary.
- 14:30Speaker 7: Kyne has already placed his book bag and coat in
- 14:33Speaker 7: Miss Porter's classroom when he first arrived for the science fair.
- 14:36Speaker 7: Miss Porter starts her class like every day. Then the
- 14:39Speaker 7: children moved to reading group, than recess, than lunch. Around
- 14:43Speaker 7: three pm, the children, tired from a busy day, get
- 14:46Speaker 7: on the bus to go home.
- 14:47Speaker 1: Where is Kyne?
- 14:49Speaker 2: You think when you take a child to school everything
- 14:52Speaker 2: is safe and sound. Not in this case, joining me
- 14:56Speaker 2: an all star panel, but straight back to Kyrin's father,
- 14:59Speaker 2: Kane Hormon joining us Cain, what did stepmom Terry tell
- 15:05Speaker 2: you about what happened?
- 15:07Speaker 5: Yeah, so it was we talked about the going to
- 15:11Speaker 5: the room at the school, doing the photos, walking around
- 15:14Speaker 5: the different rooms. I actually do recall after thinking about
- 15:20Speaker 5: it a little bit more, I think it was this
- 15:21Speaker 5: first grade teacher that they saw in his room. And
- 15:25Speaker 5: one of the interesting things about the schools there is
- 15:27Speaker 5: an upstairs and the downstairs with classrooms, which I guess
- 15:31Speaker 5: I didn't mention before. So she had talked about starting
- 15:34Speaker 5: in the upstairs rooms and to ring the science projects
- 15:37Speaker 5: in those rooms, then going downstairs and viewing the projects
- 15:40Speaker 5: there and then. And it's been a while, my memory
- 15:45Speaker 5: may not be what it used to be, but for
- 15:48Speaker 5: some reason I remember her talking about them separating and
- 15:51Speaker 5: meeting because there's different stairwells to go back up to
- 15:53Speaker 5: the upper level where they went back up to the
- 15:56Speaker 5: upper level and met near the office, and that's where
- 15:59Speaker 5: they parted, and she saw or talked about him walking
- 16:03Speaker 5: down the hallway back to his class.
- 16:04Speaker 4: I don't recall her.
- 16:06Speaker 5: Saying she saw him doing that, that they met there
- 16:09Speaker 5: and then separated at that point in the school. It's
- 16:12Speaker 5: kind of a central the office is kind of a
- 16:14Speaker 5: central spot in the upstairs. And then she went and
- 16:19Speaker 5: did some of her daily things that she had on
- 16:22Speaker 5: her list from the school.
- 16:23Speaker 4: So that was the last time.
- 16:24Speaker 5: That she had said that she had saw him was
- 16:28Speaker 5: in that central meeting place by the office.
- 16:30Speaker 1: And that's the teacher to whom you're referring.
- 16:32Speaker 4: The teacher the names escaping me at the moment, I apologize.
- 16:36Speaker 1: That's okay.
- 16:37Speaker 2: I just want to make sure you're talking about the
- 16:38Speaker 2: teacher says she saw him in that central area and
- 16:41Speaker 2: she took off to go do all her duties right, No,
- 16:45Speaker 2: I don't recall a teacher saying that that's what I
- 16:47Speaker 2: was told by his stepmom is that they met up
- 16:51Speaker 2: there and separated there. Gotcha now, I understand. Also to
- 16:55Speaker 2: a mule joining us Kate x L news that at
- 17:00Speaker 2: least one person saw stepmother Terry leaving the building. How
- 17:07Speaker 2: do we know what time she left? Did she leave alone?
- 17:12Speaker 2: Who is confirming that?
- 17:14Speaker 8: Actually that information came from the mother of Kiren. She
- 17:17Speaker 8: said that there were several witnesses who have told her
- 17:21Speaker 8: that they did witness him leaving in a truck with
- 17:26Speaker 8: a stepmother. So that's basically where that information came from.
- 17:31Speaker 2: Speaking of Kyen's mother, Desiree, listen.
- 17:34Speaker 10: The investigation continues to be on track and is progressing
- 17:38Speaker 10: toward finding Kyen. We remain confident in the actions and
- 17:43Speaker 10: constant commitment of law enforcement in the mission to find
- 17:46Speaker 10: our son.
- 17:48Speaker 1: We love you, Kiren, never give up hope. We are
- 17:53Speaker 1: all coming to get you, to bring you home.
- 17:56Speaker 2: Back to Caine Horman, Cain, did Terry ever mentioned to
- 18:02Speaker 2: you leaving the school with Kiren?
- 18:06Speaker 4: No, not in any conversation that we had.
- 18:08Speaker 2: What do you know about potential witnesses that say they
- 18:10Speaker 2: observed her leaving with him.
- 18:12Speaker 5: Personally, I have no first hand account of anybody having
- 18:19Speaker 5: seen him in the parking lot or her or them
- 18:22Speaker 5: leaving together. I've heard a lot of second hand information
- 18:28Speaker 5: that there. There's a number of different accounts. There's accounts
- 18:31Speaker 5: of people seeing all three of them leaving because my
- 18:36Speaker 5: daughter was with her as well. There's accounts of seeing
- 18:40Speaker 5: him by himself in the parking lot and getting into vehicles.
- 18:43Speaker 5: I've heard different kinds of vehicles, not just a truck,
- 18:46Speaker 5: and I've heard, you know, other other accounts of people
- 18:51Speaker 5: witnessing her leaving the school by herself.
- 18:55Speaker 4: I don't.
- 18:55Speaker 5: I haven't heard any directly, so that's it's all second
- 19:00Speaker 5: had information. I apologize, but I don't have any firsthand
- 19:03Speaker 5: witness accounts that have been dictated to me personally in
- 19:06Speaker 5: that instance. But it's been a little bit of everything.
- 19:08Speaker 2: To be honest, Nor do I in fact me reports
- 19:13Speaker 2: state the step mom leaves without him, that she's observed
- 19:17Speaker 2: leaving without him.
- 19:20Speaker 1: How many times.
- 19:23Speaker 2: I can I ask you, Kane, did you go over
- 19:25Speaker 2: it and over it and over it with stepmom Terry many.
- 19:30Speaker 5: Many times exhaustively. There was a lot of discussion that
- 19:37Speaker 5: was occurring posts, the interaction with with the folks at
- 19:41Speaker 5: the school and then with law enforcement, and it was
- 19:44Speaker 5: pretty much a daily thing trying to walk through, you know,
- 19:47Speaker 5: who they saw, recount the steps, making sure that One
- 19:55Speaker 5: of my biggest concerns was, you know, did they actually
- 19:57Speaker 5: meet up in part ways at the office, did really
- 20:00Speaker 5: ever get firsthand information that confirmed their party at that location.
- 20:05Speaker 5: So there was just a lot of conversation about trying
- 20:07Speaker 5: to understand exactly what happened, where it happened, how it happened,
- 20:13Speaker 5: and then including after as well.
- 20:16Speaker 4: So there was a lot.
- 20:18Speaker 11: Kien, who was seven years old, disappeared from Skyline Elementary
- 20:22Speaker 11: School in northwest Portland.
- 20:24Speaker 12: From day one, the Molnoma County Sheriff's Office has worked
- 20:27Speaker 12: in close partnership with the Molnoma County District Attorney's Office,
- 20:31Speaker 12: the FBI, and other agencies to find Kyron.
- 20:35Speaker 11: As parents, we can't imagine the pain and struggle Kyen's
- 20:37Speaker 11: family has experienced and continues to experience without him.
- 20:42Speaker 12: And that's why we have never given up or slowed
- 20:44Speaker 12: down and trying to find Kyron.
- 20:46Speaker 2: In the last days, the FBI is set to take
- 20:49Speaker 2: a fresh look at the case of a missing boy.
- 20:52Speaker 2: Kyron Horman Guys with me is Kyn's father, Kane Jarre
- 20:57Speaker 2: Farentino joining US renowned former prosecutor, host of True crime
- 21:03Speaker 2: Boss Jarrett.
- 21:04Speaker 1: Thank you for being with us.
- 21:05Speaker 2: It seems to me that we understand the timeline very well.
- 21:10Speaker 1: Caine has filled it out for us.
- 21:13Speaker 2: I understand everything up until the point the stepmother leaves.
- 21:20Speaker 2: That's when things begin to get Mrquis agree or disagree?
- 21:26Speaker 4: I agree one percent.
- 21:29Speaker 13: It's not clear whether or not Kyn left the building
- 21:33Speaker 13: with her, although Terry, the stepmom, claims she left. I
- 21:37Speaker 13: run at school, heading toward his classroom and she left
- 21:41Speaker 13: with their little girl.
- 21:43Speaker 4: That is the golden moment as case.
- 21:47Speaker 13: Really began, Nancy, and there's some discrepancy in Terry's story
- 21:51Speaker 13: and how things played out.
- 21:52Speaker 1: Yeah, you know.
- 21:53Speaker 2: Dany Corsentino, former police chief and former sheriff, also served
- 21:57Speaker 2: on US Homeland Security Scene Advisory Board now PI at
- 22:02Speaker 2: Dancorsantino dot com. Dan, right there, I'm telling you, that
- 22:07Speaker 2: is the critical moment, the critical moment when suddenly nobody's sure,
- 22:12Speaker 2: what where, where did he go that way or that way?
- 22:16Speaker 2: Was the stepmom with him not with him? That is
- 22:20Speaker 2: where the problem lies. Right there.
- 22:23Speaker 1: You've seen it a million times.
- 22:26Speaker 2: You've been a sheriff, you've been a police sheep, you've
- 22:28Speaker 2: been on homeland security. Right there, when the stories begin
- 22:32Speaker 2: to go in different directions. Everything's going along. Normally, Dad
- 22:38Speaker 2: leaves for work, everything's fine.
- 22:41Speaker 1: They get to the school, they make it to the
- 22:43Speaker 1: science fair.
- 22:44Speaker 2: But it suddenly when Stepmommy leaves, that's when everything hits
- 22:50Speaker 2: the fan.
- 22:51Speaker 6: Dan Corsentino, absolutely, that was the defining moment, that was
- 22:55Speaker 6: the beginning of the journey in the Sad Sad case.
- 23:00Speaker 4: But it is really really.
- 23:01Speaker 6: Interesting about this is the comfort level that kyn had
- 23:07Speaker 6: and who he had the comfort level with, And there
- 23:10Speaker 6: was only one person on that particular morning when he
- 23:15Speaker 6: was at the school with Terry, that was the person
- 23:19Speaker 6: he had a comfort level with. Obviously teachers, students and everything.
- 23:24Speaker 6: But unless this was a stranger abduction, which I don't
- 23:28Speaker 6: think it was, that was individual that he had the
- 23:32Speaker 6: comfort level with. And everything changed as her story continues
- 23:36Speaker 6: to change.
- 23:37Speaker 2: You know, he just mentioned something really important to be
- 23:39Speaker 2: in Coursentino, you said, unless this was a stranger abduction,
- 23:42Speaker 2: let's just talk about the reality of that possibility.
- 23:45Speaker 1: Docter Sherry Schwartz joining me.
- 23:47Speaker 2: She is a forensic psychologist and her specialty is criminal behavior.
- 23:53Speaker 2: She's the author of Criminal Behavior and Where Law and
- 23:57Speaker 2: Psychology intersect.
- 24:01Speaker 1: Doctor Sherry Schwartz, thank you for being with us.
- 24:03Speaker 2: That is not a possibility that there was a stranger
- 24:09Speaker 2: abduction in the middle of the elementary school science fair. Okay,
- 24:15Speaker 2: the science fair was ending, the eight forty five bail
- 24:19Speaker 2: was going off for everyone to go to class. What stranger,
- 24:23Speaker 2: what who? No stranger is in that building. Everyone is
- 24:28Speaker 2: dispersing and leaving. The only one there where the story
- 24:32Speaker 2: goes sideways is with the stepmother, doctor Sherry Schwartz.
- 24:37Speaker 1: Yes, that's correct.
- 24:38Speaker 14: She's the last one that was seen with Kiren, and
- 24:43Speaker 14: Kiren hasn't been seen since. And when people use words
- 24:48Speaker 14: like retaliation when we're talking about a missing child, they're
- 24:52Speaker 14: missing stepchild that they've known since an infant, every alarm
- 24:56Speaker 14: in my brain goes off, every alarm. You're right, doctor
- 25:00Speaker 14: Sherry Schwartz.
- 25:01Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, let's take a listen to
- 25:04Speaker 2: stepmom Terry on our friend doctor Field's program.
- 25:10Speaker 15: This was in retaliation for something that he was doing
- 25:13Speaker 15: that I found out about while this is happening, and
- 25:16Speaker 15: this particular person was actually his friend and sent to
- 25:21Speaker 15: the house.
- 25:22Speaker 1: So this was a setup.
- 25:24Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, a setup retaliation. What is she even talking about?
- 25:30Speaker 2: Listen to more of the stepmom speaking to our friend
- 25:34Speaker 2: doctor Phil.
- 25:36Speaker 1: Well, that would be because the.
- 25:39Speaker 15: Law enforcement told us to go to do what we
- 25:43Speaker 15: told us to do, things that we normally do. So
- 25:45Speaker 15: they want you to go grocery shopping, they want you
- 25:48Speaker 15: to go to the gym. They specifically told both Cana
- 25:50Speaker 15: and I, and he was with me that day when
- 25:52Speaker 15: we went.
- 25:54Speaker 2: Okay, what she's talking about, because she'd possibly be talking
- 25:59Speaker 2: about the X rated photos she's sending a lover within
- 26:04Speaker 2: just days after Kyne disappearing.
- 26:08Speaker 1: I mean, Caine, I don't know what you went through.
- 26:12Speaker 2: I thought I knew everything about grief when my fiance
- 26:15Speaker 2: was murdered. I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep, I could
- 26:19Speaker 2: barely speak. I couldn't stand to hear music or TV
- 26:22Speaker 2: or radio or even the clock ticking. I would vomit
- 26:25Speaker 2: and vomit. I couldn't keep anything on my stomach. The
- 26:29Speaker 2: last thing I could have thought about is sending X
- 26:33Speaker 2: rated photos of myself to some guy. I mean that's
- 26:37Speaker 2: just not where your head is at a time like that.
- 26:41Speaker 5: The first thing that I wanted to do was to
- 26:43Speaker 5: cooperate with law enforcement as much as possible. And when
- 26:46Speaker 5: I wasn't doing that, I was sitting in another room,
- 26:49Speaker 5: staring at the floor and praying. For the first couple
- 26:52Speaker 5: of days. I think I slept for maybe twenty minutes.
- 26:54Speaker 5: The night that he went missing, we had a house
- 26:58Speaker 5: full of law enforcement. One of the sheriff's officers that
- 27:02Speaker 5: I had gotten to know over that period of time
- 27:06Speaker 5: sat across from me in the room, and I think
- 27:08Speaker 5: I might have k notted off for twenty minutes. Maybe
- 27:11Speaker 5: everything was do everything possible, as fast as possible, whatever
- 27:15Speaker 5: we needed to do, And it was just being ready
- 27:18Speaker 5: and available to go through the process that they conduct,
- 27:22Speaker 5: through the investigation as much as we could. Like I said,
- 27:26Speaker 5: when I wasn't doing that, I was basically sitting there
- 27:28Speaker 5: crying for the first and that was the first few days.
- 27:31Speaker 4: It was.
- 27:34Speaker 5: The grief was overwhelming, and at the same time, like
- 27:37Speaker 5: we talked about in the ride up to the school,
- 27:39Speaker 5: in my brain was just frantically trying to figure out,
- 27:42Speaker 5: you know, what could we possibly be doing? Is this
- 27:45Speaker 5: real it's still just really hadn't sunk in all the way,
- 27:49Speaker 5: but it had at the same time. I don't know
- 27:51Speaker 5: if that makes any sense, but just mulling over everything.
- 27:54Speaker 5: But yeah, I don't remember sleeping that much for the
- 27:57Speaker 5: first week, if not longer, because we were in the
- 28:00Speaker 5: middle of the investigation. We were being investigated in all
- 28:04Speaker 5: the interviews and everything else that we were trying to
- 28:07Speaker 5: get through. I mean, I was not on social media
- 28:10Speaker 5: at all that I recall. I don't even recall cracking
- 28:12Speaker 5: a laptop. I don't remember being on my phone. I
- 28:16Speaker 5: just remember working with the team as much as humanly
- 28:18Speaker 5: possible to make progress on finding him. So the things
- 28:23Speaker 5: that you're describing to me completely foreign to me at
- 28:26Speaker 5: that time, and still.
- 28:29Speaker 11: It just.
- 28:31Speaker 5: Sorry, I don't know how it's answered. It was just
- 28:34Speaker 5: it was a very intense period of time. I have
- 28:36Speaker 5: no idea how anyone would be on that mindset.
- 28:39Speaker 16: Terry alleges she drove along country roads to sooth daughter
- 28:43Speaker 16: Kiera's erich the morning of Kyron's disappearance. Terry's friend Deetie
- 28:48Speaker 16: allegedly rushes out of work at the same time as
- 28:51Speaker 16: Terry's drive after receiving a mysterious phone call her whereabouts
- 28:56Speaker 16: during this time are unknown Witnesses at the school report
- 29:00Speaker 16: unidentified man in a white pickup truck at the science fair,
- 29:04Speaker 16: but his identity remains a mystery.
- 29:07Speaker 2: Guys, there's so much misdirection going on right here, so
- 29:12Speaker 2: much misdirection. To Annette and Newell joining us Kate Exale
- 29:17Speaker 2: news host Annette again, thank you for being with us.
- 29:20Speaker 2: That parking lot was likely full of parents leaving leaving
- 29:27Speaker 2: the science fair, but you are telling me evidence has
- 29:33Speaker 2: emerged of at least one witness seeing the stepmother leaving
- 29:40Speaker 2: with Tyrone.
- 29:41Speaker 1: Is that correct?
- 29:42Speaker 8: They were seen out in front of the school by
- 29:44Speaker 8: one of Kyron's friends, his grandma and sister, as well
- 29:47Speaker 8: as his bus driver. They were walking out to the
- 29:50Speaker 8: main road, which is where the truck was parked. That
- 29:53Speaker 8: witnesses saw Terry and kyn leaving the school together that
- 29:56Speaker 8: morning and heading toward their truck. According to Quinna all So,
- 30:00Speaker 8: Terry said that she drove around town that day, stopping
- 30:03Speaker 8: at the two grocery stores to get medicine for her daughter,
- 30:06Speaker 8: who wasn't feeling well. Then police found that Terry's phone
- 30:10Speaker 8: pained her own Highway thirty north of Portland and that
- 30:14Speaker 8: time period.
- 30:15Speaker 2: Now you're telling me that she in the vehicle in
- 30:18Speaker 2: the truck, was bought it at not one, but at
- 30:21Speaker 2: least two grocery stores. Could the video be highlighted enhanced
- 30:27Speaker 2: to say if Colin was in the car at that time.
- 30:30Speaker 8: That's something that they tried to do a bunch of
- 30:32Speaker 8: times and they couldn't conclusively tell whether he was in
- 30:35Speaker 8: the car.
- 30:36Speaker 2: And that video depicting the stepmother going to at least
- 30:42Speaker 2: two grocery stores, was that immediately upon her leaving the school.
- 30:45Speaker 8: Yeah, they do think it fit the timeline of what
- 30:48Speaker 8: she was talking about, although there was some other time
- 30:52Speaker 8: that they weren't sure if they could definitely connect what
- 30:56Speaker 8: she was saying she did versus what she did. But
- 30:58Speaker 8: they did find that there was some video of her
- 31:02Speaker 8: from surveillance cameras in that area that did show her
- 31:06Speaker 8: and show her.
- 31:06Speaker 1: In the truck.
- 31:13Speaker 2: Crime Stories with Nancy Grace. What happened to Karen Horman?
- 31:21Speaker 2: Can the FBI find answers? Well, this is what we
- 31:24Speaker 2: know so far. The pinging of her cell phone explained
- 31:27Speaker 2: to me where her cell phone pained.
- 31:30Speaker 8: Yeah, it was an area north Portland, not far from
- 31:34Speaker 8: the school around Highway thirty, which runs north of Portland,
- 31:39Speaker 8: and that was after she'd spent time driving her daughter around.
- 31:43Speaker 8: She said she was driving in that area to settle
- 31:46Speaker 8: her daughter down. Is what she told police when they
- 31:50Speaker 8: asked why she was why the phone was paying around
- 31:53Speaker 8: in that area.
- 31:53Speaker 1: To Kane Horman, this is Kyen's dad.
- 31:57Speaker 2: When you asked her what had happened that morning, she
- 32:00Speaker 2: describe this circuitous route, driving around with the daughter in
- 32:03Speaker 2: the car to help her earache.
- 32:05Speaker 5: Yes she did. She talked about the retailers she stopped at.
- 32:09Speaker 5: I want to say there was a gem stop. Again,
- 32:11Speaker 5: I don't recall, it's been a while, but she did
- 32:14Speaker 5: outline that. She outlined a few of the country roads
- 32:16Speaker 5: that they were driving on. She wasn't overly specific about
- 32:20Speaker 5: which ones. There was a few she talked about, but
- 32:22Speaker 5: after that it was just driving around. But yeah, I
- 32:25Speaker 5: was familiar with that kind of.
- 32:27Speaker 3: Timetable family and investigators suspect this was no accident. Stepmom
- 32:33Speaker 3: Terry maintains her innocence. As the Horman family continues, they're
- 32:38Speaker 3: desperate search for answers.
- 32:40Speaker 2: We know the stepmother has never been formally charged, and
- 32:45Speaker 2: Karen Horman's disappearance. She has become the target of public suspicion.
- 32:52Speaker 2: But there seems to be a chain of alleged misconduct
- 32:57Speaker 2: really since the moment goes missing. Now to you, doctor
- 33:02Speaker 2: Sherry Schwartz, I know that everyone reacts differently to pain
- 33:09Speaker 2: or suffering, or loss or even stress, but this series
- 33:15Speaker 2: of alleged misconduct does not.
- 33:18Speaker 1: Vode well, doctor Siri, not at all.
- 33:21Speaker 14: And this isn't to me. This isn't anything that would
- 33:25Speaker 14: constitute a trauma response or a grief response. This is
- 33:30Speaker 14: very specific behavior. She's talking about retaliation against Kirne's dad.
- 33:37Speaker 14: She is saying things like the police told her things
- 33:41Speaker 14: like to go to the gym.
- 33:42Speaker 12: Now.
- 33:42Speaker 14: I don't know if they did or they didn't, but
- 33:44Speaker 14: I would find that very strange because most parents are
- 33:48Speaker 14: out looking. And also, Nancy, if I lost somebody's sunglasses
- 33:52Speaker 14: that didn't belong to me, I'd be scouring the neighborhood
- 33:56Speaker 14: to find out where did I leave them, let alone
- 33:59Speaker 14: losing someone child.
- 34:01Speaker 2: I also understand that Terry Lynn Moulton formerly Terry Horman,
- 34:06Speaker 2: faced grand theft firearm charges stemming from an incident in Marysville, California,
- 34:13Speaker 2: regarding a stolen gun. It's just like one thing after
- 34:18Speaker 2: the next and again she is not Ever, she's never
- 34:22Speaker 2: been named a suspect, a formal suspect in the disappearance
- 34:27Speaker 2: of Kiren. You know, Caine, you earlier mentioned that you
- 34:31Speaker 2: and the whole family were being investigated. That's SOP standard
- 34:36Speaker 2: operating procedure. When someone goes missing, the first place police.
- 34:40Speaker 1: Look, as they should, is at.
- 34:42Speaker 2: The family members, particularly the male members. Statistically, that's typically
- 34:48Speaker 2: who did it? Tell me about being the target of
- 34:53Speaker 2: an investigation yourself while your son is missing?
- 34:58Speaker 1: What was that like?
- 35:01Speaker 5: The only way I can describe it is is it
- 35:02Speaker 5: was something that we that I needed to do. I
- 35:06Speaker 5: knew I didn't have any involvement.
- 35:07Speaker 4: I knew that really at that point it wasn't about me,
- 35:11Speaker 4: is really.
- 35:12Speaker 5: All I can say is about him, And I did
- 35:14Speaker 5: everything I was asked to do as fast and quickly
- 35:19Speaker 5: and urgently as possible to clear myself in the investigation
- 35:23Speaker 5: because I wanted them to be focused on who did it.
- 35:27Speaker 4: So it was I just I don't know. I set aside.
- 35:30Speaker 5: There was not really a lot of emotions from me
- 35:32Speaker 5: on that front, other than they indicated the process and
- 35:36Speaker 5: my job was to clear the process, and that's absolutely
- 35:39Speaker 5: what I wanted to do, and again as urgently as possible.
- 35:41Speaker 5: The focus was on him, finding him as quickly as possible.
- 35:45Speaker 5: It really didn't have to do with me as far
- 35:47Speaker 5: as how I felt about what was happening. It was
- 35:50Speaker 5: just what I needed to do as his parent to
- 35:52Speaker 5: help him get recovered as early as possible. So it
- 35:54Speaker 5: was basically my mission to do every and anything asked
- 35:59Speaker 5: to clear that process and continue to move forward. So
- 36:02Speaker 5: it was a lot less about emotion at that point.
- 36:05Speaker 5: I know, I described the first couple like twenty four
- 36:07Speaker 5: to forty eight hours just being kind of unresponsive unless
- 36:11Speaker 5: I was being interviewed with investigators, crying and all that stuff.
- 36:15Speaker 5: And as we started to get further into the process,
- 36:17Speaker 5: I kind of have the set that aside and become
- 36:20Speaker 5: more focused on what needed to be done, the task
- 36:24Speaker 5: that needed to be done, and not being emotional about
- 36:27Speaker 5: how I felt. At that particular point in time I
- 36:28Speaker 5: missed him. I was frantic, but at the same time
- 36:31Speaker 5: I needed them to focus on who actually did this.
- 36:34Speaker 5: So it was about clearing. It was one hundred percent
- 36:36Speaker 5: just about clearing everything that I needed to clear so
- 36:40Speaker 5: we could stay focused on him.
- 36:41Speaker 2: I don't even know words to describe what I think
- 36:45Speaker 2: you've been through.
- 36:48Speaker 1: But now, what.
- 36:50Speaker 2: Is your message to anybody out there that may know
- 36:55Speaker 2: anything about Tyron?
- 36:57Speaker 5: Well, first and foremost, if you're still out there, we're
- 37:01Speaker 5: still looking for you. So I will always lead with that.
- 37:04Speaker 5: No one's given up. We are still looking. We haven't
- 37:08Speaker 5: given up. We love you, we miss you. We are
- 37:11Speaker 5: still active, the investigations active, We're still looking to everyone
- 37:15Speaker 5: out there. Keep recording tips. We have tips coming in
- 37:19Speaker 5: through the phone still to this day, lots on email.
- 37:24Speaker 5: There's a website that I'm sure that you guys will
- 37:27Speaker 5: have the information for that the Sheriff's office has put
- 37:30Speaker 5: up now. In addition to the one that we've put
- 37:32Speaker 5: up for the past fourteen years, they recently put up
- 37:35Speaker 5: a new one that gives a rough timeline, gives the
- 37:39Speaker 5: tip line, It gives an email tip line. Would encourage
- 37:42Speaker 5: everyone to submit tips, no matter how big or small
- 37:45Speaker 5: you think they are. Try not to rule them out,
- 37:48Speaker 5: try not to filter them. Just submit them and the
- 37:50Speaker 5: investigators will do that work. But urge anybody who feels
- 37:54Speaker 5: that they witnessed anything, no matter how long ago it was,
- 37:57Speaker 5: to submit that information. Through the tip line, and again,
- 38:01Speaker 5: don't try to filter it out, don't try to vet
- 38:04Speaker 5: it for yourself, give it, pass it along. So I
- 38:07Speaker 5: would highly encourage that. The other thing is there are
- 38:10Speaker 5: age progress photos on the website. There's I think the
- 38:12Speaker 5: original and three others. He's not seven anymore, and so
- 38:16Speaker 5: that's one thing that we try to remind folks is
- 38:18Speaker 5: that he's older. He may or may not have his
- 38:21Speaker 5: glasses right now as well, So if he is still
- 38:23Speaker 5: alive and he is out there with somebody, you know,
- 38:26Speaker 5: we're trying to get people familiarized with those age progressed
- 38:29Speaker 5: with and without the glasses. So if they do see
- 38:31Speaker 5: a similarity that they call in that tip as well.
- 38:33Speaker 5: But the tip line that both the phone and the
- 38:36Speaker 5: email are open. They're still actively getting tips. Please continue
