Kyron was last seen in Portland, Oregon on June 4, 2010. He usually rode the bus to Skyline Elementary School, where he was a second-grader. The school is in the 11500 block of Skyline Boulevard in a rural area in northwest Portland, about two miles from Kyron's home in the 15700 block of Sheltered Nook Road.

His stepmother, Terri Lynn Moulton Horman, stated she drove him to school because there was a science fair that day and Kyron wanted to set up his exhibit, a display about the Red-Eyed Tree Frog. They arrived shortly after 8:00 a.m. and dropped Kyron's coat and backpack off at his classroom.

A witness saw Terri and Kyron together at 8:15 p.m., in front of Kyron's exhibit. The bell rang at 8:45 a.m. and Terri says she left then. She said Kyron told her he was going to his classroom. He has never been heard from again.

Terri reported Kyron missing at 3:45 p.m., after he failed to arrive home at 3:30 p.m. as scheduled. No one reported having seen Kyron at the school after the 8:45 bell. His teacher marked him absent after classes began at 10:00 a.m.; she thought he was at a doctor's appointment.

Because so many hours had passed since he was last seen, police launched an extensive search immediately. Over the next few days they interviewed all the students and staff at Skyline Elementary School and searched the school, school grounds and the surrounding area. It was one of the largest searches in Oregon history.

Kyron's loved ones described him as timid and stated he would be unlikely to leave the school and go off on his own.


Less than two weeks after Kyron's disappearance, police stopped the search and announced they had upgraded his case from a simple missing child to a criminal investigation.

At the same time, they stated they didn't think Kyron had been abducted by a stranger. They focused on Terri, stating cellular phone records indicated she wasn't where she said she was on the day of her stepson's disappearance.


Investigators questioned Terri's friend, DeDe Spicher, about her possible knowledge of Kyron's disappearance. They searched her home and asked the public if they had seen Terri, her white pickup truck or Spicher on June 4 between 9:45 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. Spicher stated knew nothing about Kyron's disappearance and she believed Terri was innocent of any wrongdoing.


Authorities have yet to name a suspect in Kyron's disappearance, in spite of their focus on his stepmother. Kaine speculated Terri caused the child's disappearance in an effort to hurt him, and suggested she may have had help from other individual. Both of Kyron's parents continue to hope that he is alive. His case remains unsolved.

The only suspect that makes sense to me is Terri. He was seen at school. That was her alibi. Her story doesn't make sense.

Oh, I would bet money that Terri and her friend, who refuses to talk to police, know exactly what happened.

‘Make Kyron a priority again': Mother of missing Portland boy calls on district attorney to convene new task force​

The mother of a missing Portland boy is holding a rally this weekend to try and get the attention of the Multnomah County district attorney. She wants the DA to take another look at the unsolved Kyron Horman case and convene a new task force.


“I just want the powers that be, the people that make the decisions to know that Kyron is important,” said Desiree Young, the missing boy’s mother.

Young plans to rally alongside supporters outside the Multnomah County DA’s office on Saturday. The missing boy’s mother said she’s tried to set up a face-to-face meeting with DA Mike Schmidt since last year, but it hasn’t happened.

“I want the DA to know who I am and to know who Kyron is,” said Young. “I want him to make Kyron a priority again.”

Young would like a new task force to review evidence in the near-decade old case and revisit witnesses. Kyron’s mother would also like prosecutors to create a checklist and strategy for investigating a no body homicide case — in hopes of eventually moving forward with prosecution.

Same here. Desiree is full of pain and I could actually feel it resonating from her when I met her. It’s so sad! I would do anything to help her. I hope the sheriff’s office responds, Although I know all the law-enforcement agencies in the state are having major problems right now.

To me, it is unconscionable that a DA in a county where a child is missing and a likely crime occurred would not meet with the victim's family for over a year when a meeting is requested!! I mean really, say what? I don't even know whether a task force is feasible but a meeting sure is! Did someone vote this man in?

Don’t get me started about politicians!

What’s interesting to me is Kyron’s mother’s husband was in law-enforcement, I don’t know if he still is or not. I had the chance to sit down during lunch at that search I was at and visit with him and he was super nice and friendly.

D.A.s and LE don't always see eye to eye. There was an issue between the two in a nearby area some years ago. LE was upset at doing a lot of work to bring serious charges and feeling as if deals were always made after all that work, much too often. If I recall correctly. One would think since they work together a lot as is necessary they would be on the same team but not always I guess. So maybe even he being LE doesn't mean they have any pull there...?

With budgets and all, and manpower, I"m not sure if the mother's desire for a task force on a sadly old case is feasible but I sure do think she deserves a meeting any time she wants within reason until the case is solved!

It takes a few hours for her to drive up to that area, so I doubt she's banging on their door very often, either.

Inexcusable then even more so, imo. Make the woman an appt. She is a victim's mother! Maybe letters to the newspaper, to the D.A.'s office or posts on a webiste? In support?

I'm watching FBI Files and this case is very eerily similar to Kyron's. Fortunately, they caught this woman.

I got the book about Kyron's disappearance a while ago and finally finished reading it.
Those who followed the case closely probably wouldn't find much new in the book, but it was still a "good" read. (Good is a tough word because none of the details of this book are "good"...but I'm sure y'all get the point.)
It really goes through all of the details of the initial investigation, basically through the first year, and then sparsely thereafter. Though it was written with some "bias" (input and information directly from Kyron's mother), it really laid it all out there. I know that I've gone back and forth about Teri's guilt or innocence previously, but there really is just "too much".

New photo released of Kyron Horman 12 years after his disappearance​

Authorities have released a new age-progressed photo of a boy missing from Portland since June 4, 2010.

Saturday marks the 12-year anniversary of the disappearance of Kyron Horman. He was last seen at Skyline Elementary School attending the school’s science fair. He was seven-years-old at the time.

The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children has released an age-progressed photo and video of what Kyron Horman would look like at 19. It is encouraging the public to share the photo and video.

The sheriff’s office said it remains just as dedicated to the investigation as it did 12 years ago. In collaboration with law enforcement partners, the district attorney’s office and the FBI, MCSO said it is pursuing all investigative leads and will continue to do so until Horman is found. The case remains open and active.

11th annual 'Kyron's Car Show' raising awareness on missing Oregon child's case
It’s been more than 12 years since Kyron Horman disappeared from his elementary school in Northwest Portland, and the community gathered over the weekend for a car show that looks to keep the search going.

Sunday was the 11th annual Kyron's Car Show in Beaverton.

The annual car show aims to raise awareness on Kyron’s disappearance, and equip parents with the tools they need to make sure this doesn't happen to them.

"We still need people looking for us. That's the primary one. With our foundation, we're doing child ID's. So get an ID done of your child. It's got a photo, fingerprint, recent description, so parents can have those with them if they've got out an event like this and lose track of their child. They can use those to track them down," said Kaine Horman, Kyron’s father.

There were a lot of searchers on Sauvie Island right after Kyron went missing. I remember taking a tour out there and seeing all of the search flags in August of 2010, I believe it was? Here’s a video that gives you an idea of what it looks like out there.

Kyron Horman’s mom meets with new Multnomah County Sheriff

Kyron Horman’s mom meets with new Multnomah County Sheriff​

The mother of a missing Portland boy met with the new Multnomah County Sheriff Nicole Morrisey O’Donnell on Friday afternoon. Desiree Young called for the meeting in hopes the new sheriff will allocate time and resources to help find her son.

“I wish they would dedicate the lead detective 100% of the time to Kyron,” said Young. “I think that after almost 13 years it is always a challenge, no matter what agency you are working with, to make sure they are still dedicating resources to it.”

Young said Sheriff Morrisey O’Donnell seemed committed to the missing boy’s case. In recent weeks, the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office conducted a search in North and Northwest Portland, Young explained. Additionally, Young said investigators are following up on new tips and looking into new technologies to assist in the search effort.

Sheriff Morrisey O’Donnell, who was sworn into office on January 4, has a unique connection to the Kyron Horman case. Her husband, now-retired Multnomah County Sheriff’s Deputy Bob O’Donnell, served as the lead investigator following the boy’s disappearance.

Police have made no arrests in the case, although investigators have long focused on Kyron’s stepmother Terri Horman. She dropped Kyron off at Skyline school the day he disappeared. Terri Horman has denied any wrongdoing.

Young hopes investigators will not only continue searching for her son, but also work toward building a criminal case.

“I don’t know that we’ll get to bring him home,” Young admitted. “I want us to be able to, no matter what, hold Terri accountable.”

Young also hopes to meet with the Multnomah County District Attorney.

“I want the DA to know who I am. I want the sheriff to know who I am. I want them to have a personal lens on that and that’s why I want to talk to them,” explained Young.
