Missing: Kyron Horman

June 27, 2010 By Alice

Kyron Horman

Kyron Horman vanished June 4. His stepmother, Terri Horman, said she last saw him walking down a hallway toward class at Skyline Elementary School in Portland, police said.

The Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office (Oregon) has asked anyone who was at Skyline Elementary on the day Kyron disappeared if he or she recalled seeing his stepmother at the school.

No person of interest has been named in connection with what police have called a criminal investigation. The search effort for Kyron has been one of the largest in state history, authorities said.

In an open letter to Kyron, the boy’s mother, Desiree Young, wrote, “I would give anything to run my fingers through your short hair again. I miss having you to hug anytime I want. Nighttime is always hard for me. I miss you so much and want you back here so that I can protect you from all of the horrible things in this world. I just can’t believe that you aren’t still with us.”

Police continue to ask the public for tips and leads. Kyron was wearing dark cargo pants and a black T-shirt with the “CSI” logo on it at the time of his disappearance. He is 3 feet 8 inches, weighs 50 pounds and has brown hair and blue eyes.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office (Oregon) at 1-503-261-2847. Read more here.

Author Notes

Since 2009, I write about unsolved cases that need renewed media attention. I only do research and leave active investigations to the authorities.

My posts cover homicides, missing and unidentified people, wrongful convictions, and forensics as related to unsolved cases.

On book reviews: I only review select works of true crime, crime fiction, and historical fiction/mysteries. The stories have to fit my website's theme, tone, and research. It is my prerogative to not review a book. Please check the FAQ page for more.

My databases are free to the public. Cases are sorted by the victim’s last name.

If you have any questions about my website please check the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page, the About page, and the tabs in both menu bars. If you cannot find the answers there, please contact me.

Thank you,

Alice de Sturler
