I still find it odd that Michael is still one of Kaine's friends on facebook. It makes me wonder if he was helping Kaine get the dirt on Terri.

It may be his, but here is his main MySpace:

Also, when I was trying to find common friends from that MySpace and his facebook, I didn't find any common friends; however he is a FB friend of Karen Sharpes Wu. That connection seems a little strange...

Monkeys,

Do you know his middle initial and what the middle initial stands for, please?  TIA


The Love Interest
Michael Cook
Age: 37
Residence: Aloha

Michael Cook was a buddy of Kaine’s at Shorecrest High School in Shoreline, Wash., where they both played receiver on the football team. Cook gained his unwelcome 15 seconds of fame when Kaine accused him of carrying on an affair with Terri after Kyron’s disappearance—including “sexting” and exchanging explicit photos.

Within days Internet snoops had dug up a bitter and embarrassing account by Cook’s ex-wife detailing their breakup before Michael met Terri, including allegations of co***** use and sleeping around. The story was posted on Shannon Cook’s website, stoptoxicrelationships.com, as one of the reasons she’s qualified to advise other women in her job as a professional life coach. Shannon Cook took the blog down after Michael became a public figure in the Kyron case, but the text has been republished on multiple true-crime websites. The allegations of an affair with Terri came out in Kaine’s divorce filings. Michael Cook has acknowledged sexting Terri after Kaine left the house but denied they’d had sex. If Kaine’s allegations are true, Michael Cook’s only relevance to the case may be in establishing a pattern of impulsive behavior on Terri’s part

I believe his middle initial is R. I don't know what it stands for. I found an address for both shannon and him with that middle initial. I didn't post yet because I have no real verification. I still can't pin down his birthdate. There are more than 80 Michael Cooks in Portland and some have the same middle initial and similar birthdate. He graduated from Shorecrest HS in Seattle in 1991 (I found a yearbook picture). Sorry I can't find more yet.

Karen Sharpes Wu is a FB friend of TH and many of her friends. I was helping Sassi research her based on a Hinky felling she has. Perhaps Sassi is feeling better today and will help us put the pieces together. I thought it strange that Michael Cook is friends with one of TH's close friends. I am wondering how long they've all known each other (since he claims he met TH after Kyron's disappearance).

http://sociopathicrelationship.com/sociopathic_cheat.html

I believe it is referring to her ex husband (Michael). I had a chance to read her blog about her marriage before she took it down, and it painted a very disturbing picture of substance abuse, promiscuous sexual behavior, and a general disregard for the institution of marriage. I notice that Michael is "friend of Bill W"on his facebook, so perhaps he is seeking help for his problem.

On The Outside, We Looked Like The Perfect Family, But Behind Closed Doors, It Was A Nightmare

Hello, my name is Shannon Cook. My story begins Iike so many others. I grew up in a middle class family in the Pacific Northwest, graduated from college with a bachelor’s degree and began pursuing my creative dreams. I met a man who shared many of my interests, fell in love with him, had a child, and got married. My husband was given a very lucrative job opportunity and he made the most of it.

We looked happy on the outside. I chose to stay home to raise our son. My husband and I ran a non-profit organization and this volunteer activity kept me busy. We had plenty of money from my husband’s career, our physical health and youth, and a lovely son. To the outside world, we were a “power couple”, a “beautiful family” and we heard this over and over again. It truly seemed that we had it all.

But something was terribly wrong. I was desperately lonely, confused, and depressed. I wondered if my husband truly loved me much of the time. He was critical of most of my activities, large and small. For example, if I locked the front door to the house or to my car, he expressed disapproval at my excessive desire for security and expressed how my “malevolent world view” concerned him. He was always eager to explain how his social behavior was more open, more positive than mine, and how happy he was. He contrasted his well-being to my misery, which was clearly a problem with my character.

He drank excessively and criticized me for being too uptight and judgmental when I expressed concerns about his alcohol and marijuana consumption. Yet he was passing out from drinking and missing flights home from work trips, staying out all night, and leaving his drug paraphernalia in potentially child accessible locations. I was told I was paranoid for asking about other women and that I clearly “had too much time on my hands.” He was frustrated with my depression. My husband regularly refused to respond to my desire for intimacy – which left me feeling hurt, rejected, and undesirable. He told me if I didn’t like the way he was and needed to have sex regularly, to go have an affair.

I tried everything I could think of to salvage our relationship. I read self help books, save-your-marriage books, and even managed to convince him to attend couple’s counseling. Nothing helped. I considered leaving, but quickly dismissed the idea. I believed a marriage was supposed be for life, but practically speaking, I also had the problem of no job and a young child. I felt worthless and helpless and the prospects of going it on my own seemed overwhelming.

As it turned out, my negative perceptions of the years of living this way were only the tip of the iceberg. One Thanksgiving, I discovered that my husband was having an affair with a coworker. From there, I slowly discovered the truth piece by piece. My husband was binge drinking often, using cocaine, having multiple sexual encounters with friends, colleagues, clients, and strangers, hiding large sums of cash from me, and compulsively lying about all of it on a daily basis.

I was already feeling crazy, inferior, and undesirable, and was close to the breaking point before the whole picture began to emerge. When I finally discovered the truth, my world crashed in and I felt humiliated and devastated. I was a homemaker in an abusive marriage, mentally beaten down and weak. I was unsure how to go on. I felt I had no choice but to file for divorce.

The abuse continued throughout the next 8 months until the divorce finalized. Now that everything was out in the open, the cruelty became more flagrant. Though I still lived there, my husband began bringing his current mistress home, even when my son was there asleep. I walked in on an empty cocaine vial in the kitchen and my husband in bed with the other woman. My husband threw an elaborate and lavish birthday party for his mistress, inviting many of his coworkers, who were our mutual friends, to attend. He had never thrown a party for me in all our years together.

My spending was critiqued extensively and I was still sitting on the knowledge that my husband had tens of thousands of dollars he was trying to keep from me. All the while, he was continuing to drink, use drugs, and proposition other women openly. I desperately wanted to take my son and move out, but to that point, my son had not been exposed directly to my husband’s behavior and my attorney claimed there was no “imminent danger” so I needed to stay in our house or leave my son with his father. I had no intention of doing that. However, the torture was almost unbearable. I had no peace, no sanctuary in my own home. I had to take anti-anxiety and antidepressant medication just to make it through the day.

All of this was a high price to pay for my ultimate freedom, both financially, legally, and emotionally. I looked and looked for some kind of overall support group to help me through it. I sought online message boards dealing with different aspects of my process and issues, but many of the boards weren’t very active, and information was coming in piecemeal. I spent thousands and thousands of dollars in clocked time asking my attorney questions that he ultimately couldn’t satisfactorily answer because they were outside his area of expertise. I consulted with my team of experts, but none could offer me a big picture view, or walk me through all the steps. I wasted money, time, and made mistakes that I did not need to make. Fumbling around alone, I sorted it all out as best I could and managed to address the various issues involved – but I knew that the trial and error approach was wasteful, cost me financially, and was a very high price to pay emotionally in time and confusion.

This is the post that Shannon had and later deleted.



On The Outside, We Looked Like The Perfect Family, But Behind Closed Doors, It Was A Nightmare

Hello, my name is Shannon Cook. My story begins Iike so many others. I grew up in a middle class family in the Pacific Northwest, graduated from college with a bachelor’s degree and began pursuing my creative dreams. I met a man who shared many of my interests, fell in love with him, had a child, and got married. My husband was given a very lucrative job opportunity and he made the most of it.

We looked happy on the outside. I chose to stay home to raise our son. My husband and I ran a non-profit organization and this volunteer activity kept me busy. We had plenty of money from my husband’s career, our physical health and youth, and a lovely son. To the outside world, we were a “power couple”, a “beautiful family” and we heard this over and over again. It truly seemed that we had it all.

But something was terribly wrong. I was desperately lonely, confused, and depressed. I wondered if my husband truly loved me much of the time. He was critical of most of my activities, large and small. For example, if I locked the front door to the house or to my car, he expressed disapproval at my excessive desire for security and expressed how my “malevolent world view” concerned him. He was always eager to explain how his social behavior was more open, more positive than mine, and how happy he was. He contrasted his well-being to my misery, which was clearly a problem with my character.

He drank excessively and criticized me for being too uptight and judgmental when I expressed concerns about his alcohol and marijuana consumption. Yet he was passing out from drinking and missing flights home from work trips, staying out all night, and leaving his drug paraphernalia in potentially child accessible locations. I was told I was paranoid for asking about other women and that I clearly “had too much time on my hands.” He was frustrated with my depression. My husband regularly refused to respond to my desire for intimacy – which left me feeling hurt, rejected, and undesirable. He told me if I didn’t like the way he was and needed to have sex regularly, to go have an affair.

I tried everything I could think of to salvage our relationship. I read self help books, save-your-marriage books, and even managed to convince him to attend couple’s counseling. Nothing helped. I considered leaving, but quickly dismissed the idea. I believed a marriage was supposed be for life, but practically speaking, I also had the problem of no job and a young child. I felt worthless and helpless and the prospects of going it on my own seemed overwhelming.

As it turned out, my negative perceptions of the years of living this way were only the tip of the iceberg. One Thanksgiving, I discovered that my husband was having an affair with a coworker. From there, I slowly discovered the truth piece by piece. My husband was binge drinking often, using cocaine, having multiple sexual encounters with friends, colleagues, clients, and strangers, hiding large sums of cash from me, and compulsively lying about all of it on a daily basis.

I was already feeling crazy, inferior, and undesirable, and was close to the breaking point before the whole picture began to emerge. When I finally discovered the truth, my world crashed in and I felt humiliated and devastated. I was a homemaker in an abusive marriage, mentally beaten down and weak. I was unsure how to go on. I felt I had no choice but to file for divorce.

The abuse continued throughout the next 8 months until the divorce finalized. Now that everything was out in the open, the cruelty became more flagrant. Though I still lived there, my husband began bringing his current mistress home, even when my son was there asleep. I walked in on an empty cocaine vial in the kitchen and my husband in bed with the other woman. My husband threw an elaborate and lavish birthday party for his mistress, inviting many of his coworkers, who were our mutual friends, to attend. He had never thrown a party for me in all our years together.

My spending was critiqued extensively and I was still sitting on the knowledge that my husband had tens of thousands of dollars he was trying to keep from me. All the while, he was continuing to drink, use drugs, and proposition other women openly. I desperately wanted to take my son and move out, but to that point, my son had not been exposed directly to my husband’s behavior and my attorney claimed there was no “imminent danger” so I needed to stay in our house or leave my son with his father. I had no intention of doing that. However, the torture was almost unbearable. I had no peace, no sanctuary in my own home. I had to take anti-anxiety and antidepressant medication just to make it through the day.

All of this was a high price to pay for my ultimate freedom, both financially, legally, and emotionally. I looked and looked for some kind of overall support group to help me through it. I sought online message boards dealing with different aspects of my process and issues, but many of the boards weren’t very active, and information was coming in piecemeal. I spent thousands and thousands of dollars in clocked time asking my attorney questions that he ultimately couldn’t satisfactorily answer because they were outside his area of expertise. I consulted with my team of experts, but none could offer me a big picture view, or walk me through all the steps. I wasted money, time, and made mistakes that I did not need to make. Fumbling around alone, I sorted it all out as best I could and managed to address the various issues involved – but I knew that the trial and error approach was wasteful, cost me financially, and was a very high price to pay emotionally in time and confusion.

Friend Defends Man Named In Horman Docs
Police Say Michael Cook Had Pictures Of Sealed Documents In Cell Phone
POSTED: 5:57 pm PDT July 13, 2010
UPDATED: 7:06 am PDT July 14, 2010



Becky Owens, a friend of Cook's, said he fully cooperated with police and told officers they would find texts messages from Terri Horman and naked pictures of her in his cell phone.

Owens said the court documents are wrong and Cook never had sex with Terri Horman.

"Once he came to his senses and realized this was a really bad decision, he cut it off with Terri. He said, 'You know, I can’t do this. Kaine’s my friend,'" Owens said. "We got involved because we wanted to help our friend find Kyron and, unfortunately, it’s blown up into somewhat of a soap opera."

Spot had a good night last night.

First, he brought in this moth.  Moth went back outside.

Then, he brought in this cute, tiny frog.  Frog went back outside.

Then, he brought in this earthworm.  I actually wondered, to start with, if he had gotten one of my composting worms… they do occasionally crawl up from their box

She was advertised as a Black Copper Maran, but I am pretty sure that she’s a mixed breed; she hasn’t got the feathery feet and chocolate-brown eggs of a true Maran.  She’s very sweet, though, and has given us a light-beige egg every single day.

I'm pretty sure this the "other" Michael Cook. I gave the link to his MySpace on the first page. He is the one involved in several city improvement projects (cityrepair.org amongst others). Although he has many interests in common with DeDe, He is not the Michael Cook we are researching. I'm certain that the we refers to he and his wife (Carol).

I was going to post this in Kyron's cage -

Will post here instead.
Michael Cook and Becky - The High School Buds of Kaine, that found themselves written - 

I offer up though, For Kyron  ::FlyingFrog::
Going back to Square - the days of June 5, June 6 2010
Going back to " Becky" Intel or no Intel - No tell = Becky Owens
She did come forth for Kaine/Kryon
 ::MonkeyNoNo:: ::MonkeyTongue:: Becky Owens " IN " with Kaine former High School Friend. She was allowed to send emails to ??? within 30 hours of Kyron Missing.  Who would she know that was of the same address book of Kaines?  that would except his personal mail - overriding her first email. To me that says they shared the same email contacts. OR Kaine was sent her email - and he wrote a forwarding message to the same contacts? ( that is strange to me) ..for whatever reason, does not make sense. ( if this was a Picnic yes)
NOT for a Missing CHILD
Kaines Words: My Monkey brain burning reading back -
Looking again back at Kaine's written words, his computer. This was a email. Kaine likely never thinking it would be found online. He sent it with his own tact. His commentary of his feelings. Monkey Brain: Is he sending a message within orders " How to follow along" For recipients Kyron's Sake. Who were the recipients of this email ? If you read it respectively its almost as Kaine knows something else. Note, He Never mentions Terri. Its almost as if he is reverse. If you look at it without emotions. Add Logic He is stating matter of fact " Intel is a large Network" " People in Power are in Play - and he offers up who has had the most power first ( LE), that media is nothing/not to be contacted Becky the first messenger,  thanking her/her offering her unofficial statements. Becky though corrected, via Kaine's re-statement of Kyron's missing. Was Kaine playing the referee ? after the fact?
Becky the Quarterback of? team who? Less than 48 hours of Kyron Missing:
KH states in his email- written to All  ( June 6, 8:30am) He felt compelled to contact who was most important to his world. To understand his place.
http://blinkoncrime.com/2010/06/23/new-clues-in-kyron-horman-search-fact-or-fiction-you-decide/
Optional actions for you:
The Intel network is large and wide-reaching.  Many have asked me what they can do to help us and my answer is the following:
1. Forward Kyron’s information to as many people as you feel comfortable with; the more people that see this will increase our chances of finding him
2. Do not speak to any media if contacted; I am trying to contact Intel legal to give them the heads up and help with this situation
 I will update the group once status changes which will hopefully be soon.  At the time of this note Kyron has now been missing for ~48 hours; time is of the essence.
--
The first time I read this email from Kaine, I was very bothered by it. I felt it was a directive order from Kaine to ALL - this is going to be My way or the Highway. Now I don't know. It's almost as if Kaine is complying, offering up what he has " in his control" to who ever the reader is. That he is not contacting anyone, that he understands the INTEL (?) network is in control. Who ever that may be. NOW Terri did the same thing. She reached out to Who knew her and she put her word out as well - and posted it publicly. Within 40 hours of Kyron's missing. Both being looked upon with 2 different sets of scruples.
--
 Becky Owens was once of Kaine's history, with Michael Cook etc.
 Becky who ran into the glass wall full frontal- fighting for Kyron out of nowhere (prior to 6/6 am/ 2010)- Why did she feel compelled to take on such a responsibility? and why did he/KH trust her from Jump? before he even knew anything from LE? Shortly after, she brings in Michael Cook - he is face front into Kyron's first Vigil - He is offering up T-shirts, and bracelets .. He is All about Kyron, Where was Kaine? MC Making Kyron his priority. Horman Family? Or MC did all of this on his own? Why? After all the initial " tears and hugs" vigil, a few days later, no more Kyron as focus for MC. Michael Cook not only walking away from Kyron, he walked away from his Gal pal Becky. Michael Cook found his score with Terri. How MC was trusted by TH is compelling. Him being a old class mate of Kaine, and her wearing the Scarlet Letter..  She felt he was trustworthy? He/MC went as far/so close to her that he lost all care for Kyron. He chose team Terri over team Kaine Kyron. Did he? because he felt for TH or was it a plan? He found himself taking food/supplies to the Horman House for Terri & Dede - ( even remembering CAT food) so that tells me Terri gave him a list. That he would bring cat food. How would he know otherwise. To buy cat food.
Dede was there too. Did she talk to MC? She had to claim herself - I Stand by Terri. I am here to protect her.  ( Vomit) Dede who cannot even protect a dog from herself.  ::MonkeyMad:: But she had to stay at the Horman house for 11 days?. HOW admirable. WHERE is KYRON?
Michael comes into Fort Terri to offer his " Support". He walks away with himself obtaining " photo's of legal papers" captured on his cell phone. Kaine's personal life/Terri's personal life on legal papers not even a day's old? That is not being a Hero that is being a spy.  A spy for Kaine? Becky? LE? You have to think about this. WHO got all ticked off that Michael Cook got so close, was even speculated of having sexual relations with Terri ? Kaine? Nope. BECKY DID though find herself voicing her opinion to Media. ( why?)
Becky had to have the press hear her = quote her - Michael Cook Never had Sex with Terri.
WHO is she defending? And Why would it matter if he did have Sex with Terri to BECKY? Why does he need her to defend his character?  Because they were in it to win it? and He blew it?
She had to Stand by her Man and state of his character" MC did not have sex with MONICA, He is a stand up guy" Really? Was it that important? that she needed to make a media statement? What about Kyron? Where did he fit in?
Becky, being Kaines trusted voice, within 30 hours of Kyron's missing, Where is she now ?
C'est la vie??
How could MC not know, he was being monitored by LE? He was caught with photos, texts etc on his cell phone - that were of subjective behavior with Terri Horman. ??
Who led him to Terri is what I would like to know. Or did Terri know him prior?
 
I think when people smell money, they are willing to do anything, risk it all - praying they will be the recipient of the reward..? Two Flunky's coming to Kaine, from his past, wanting to get close .. and got too close for comfort?. Which caused some Jealously and or breaking the rules within the scheme ... created by two or more?. Was Becky thinking MC was trustworthy ? yet she found out he is still the dirty dawg she knew and ((loved)) when they were 17. 
 ::MonkeyShovel:: Kindergarten is fundamental, MC was more than likely that guy even then.

 Wonder how much Kaine has changed? since High School ?
Why did they run to his rescue, when he says he has not spoken to MC since H.S. Even after the Vigil for Kyron ... Kaine says .. he had no contact with MC. 
Strange.  ::rhino::

http://www.facebook.com/#!/themichaelcook
Actually I believe this particular Michael Cook (the one with the blog linked by sassi) lives in the Dallas, Texas area.  Very interesting blog, though! Great photographs and what a variety of plants/bugs/chickens/bees, etc. in his garden.  And what a coincidence about the gardening, composting and worms, etc. which seemed to line up with Dede's interests.

P.S.  Please note that the other, "other" Mike Cook (LOL) -- the Portland one nicubird mentions -- is the one who is married to the "Rachel Cook" someone found and wondered about upthread. 

In other words, Rachel is not connected to the Michael Cook that was involved with Terri.

PRAYER VIGIL
A letter from Rachel Hansen:

Today is the day that we are moving forward on a prayer/candlelight vigil for the community for Kyron Horman.  We are going to set the date for Tuesday, June 15th and start moving forward with the planning.
We have Becky Owens who has offered to write a press release with PROPER contact names, so that media attention stays focused only on the task at hand, furthering Kyron's story and picture for the purpose of recognition locally and across the country.
This effort is also in conjuction with Mike Cook and Becky Owens, two other Portland transplanted Shorecrest High School Graduates and Friends of Kaine's.
Praying with you,

Title: Re: Michael Cook - who is he and what is his involvement?

I am not sure what the relationship is with Kaine and Michael Cooke. I don't know why Cooke is still his friend on facebook. I do think that there are many things that the press is holding close to their vests. I think there are secrets that all of the players are hiding and the press is lapping up the Terri secrets at the moment in order to keep getting fed from the powers that be. I don't like the way that this case started, without any of the parents coming forward. I don't like the "tone" of Kaine's Intel memo or the way he controlled the media from day one. I don't like the way that LE has handled this case, but most of all, I hate that it has been over 3 months and Kyron is still missing. I cannot believe that Desiree and Kaine are still standing together, at least in the media spot light. None of the parents have acted in the way that I would act if this were my missing child. They must be privy to a lot that we are not privy to. I would have hired a private detective long ago and I would have done ANYTHING to get Terri to talk. Everything points to Terri, especially her actions to date. That she has not tried to clear herself, tell her story, or sat down with either Kaine or Desiree or both to clear the air, is astounding to me.

I have said this before. Not my words, but quoting Pat Brown who studies criminals/behavior etc. She said from Jump that she could not believe that Desiree was " United with Kaine" because of their past history. She said that if anything it would be of the opposite. That Desiree would be feeling anger and aggression towards Kaine.  Because he was the custodial parent and he was already known with flaws within her marriage to him ..something of that effect.
That she would find him responsible over Terri. That she PB could not understand the TWO going from day one against Terri full force without much known of the investigation.
I don't know its all speculative. Seems that none of the Parents were 100 percent involved with Kyron. That each felt the other one was taking care of him in a way.
Or not in a way .. yet not one of them can say " I know he was in a secure, happy, healthy setting" and prove it. Kaine seems oblivious in many areas of being a parent, he gifts his time, Terri is playing School Teacher using Kyron as her dissertation project for her Masters, science project guinea pig, and Desiree gets him when she can.... the drive time being probably "the only one on one time" with Kyron. Soon as he jumps out of the car ..its Tony, brother, fun and frolic.
