So are you saying that a Grand Jury was put together but you do not know exactly for what purpose or who they are trying to indict?

I know there is a grand jury having to do with this case.  I know there have been warrants issued and people subpoened to the grand jury...I don't know how many people have had this happen, but I do know some have.  I better not say anymore than this.  because I don't want to get someone in trouble.. and if I say more, it will pinpoint where my info is coming from.

This case has me so upset due to the fact that a Child was taken from a school.
I have school age Children too.

I thought about this last night for hours.
Chuck E. Cheese has a system where as you have to wait to get a stamp in order to either get in or out of the building with your Child(ren).
I would totally go for schools having some type of finger print scan that the Children, Teachers, Parents, visitors etc... would have to pass through upon entering the school and then again upon exiting.
I know that the economy sucks right now but imvho it would be a great start at keeping tabs on the students whereabouts and might be a way to curb school/class skippers too.
I can imagine this all being set up electronically via a computer system so that when a student is not recorded as showing up for school/class an alert is made to the school and Parents etc...

Sheriff's office declines extra money - for now - for the Horman investigation

+++++++


Complete press release from the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office:

This morning, the Multnomah County Board of Commissioners committed to making sure the District Attorneys office and the Sheriffs Office have the resources they need for normal operations while they continue to search for Kyron Horman. Kyron, a seven-year-old Northwest Portland boy, has been missing since June 4.
 
A child has been missing for six weeks. Everyone is focused on finding him and bringing him home, said County Chair Jeff Cogen. I respect all of the hard work the Sheriffs Office and the District Attorneys Office have done to get to the bottom of this case. This was not a tough decision; we are going to give them the resources they need to solve this case.
 
A resolution before the board asked commissioners to release up to $438,643 of contingency funds to help offset some of the costs incurred by the Sheriffs Office and the District Attorneys Office in the ongoing Kyron Horman investigation.
 
Sheriff Dan Staton withdrew his original request for $242,609. Instead, he asked to be able to return to the board to report and be reimbursed for additional expenses related to the investigation on a quarterly basis, beginning in October.
 
The District Attorneys request of $196,034 was approved effective immediately and will fund one limited-duration Deputy DA and one investigator. Any unspent funds will be returned to the General Fund Contingency.

Contingency requests must meet specific criteria, such as being used for one-time-only purposes and to address emergencies and unanticipated situations.
 
The General Fund Contingency balance is currently approximately $1.9 million. For Fiscal Year 2010, which ended June 30, 2010, the Sheriff's Office is expected to return up to $900,000 in unspent funds to the General Fund.
 
There is accountability here, said Chair Cogen. The Sheriff and the DA have done terrific work in a way that taxpayers can be assured is fiscally responsible. This money is from the contingency fund and will not affect other county programs.
 
The appropriations will be used solely for the costs associated with the Kyron Horman investigation. Sheriff Dan Staton and District Attorney Mike Schrunk intend to return to the board at a later date to discuss progress on the case.

how do I say this... hmmmm....

I know there is a grand jury going on. 

there I said it

Ok I'll bite, how do you know this? Not that I doubt you DD, you know I don't. but how did you find this out?

I would like to know also DD, thanks.

Thank you DD. May this lead to Kyron. My fear is all of this hoopla will not lead us to Kyron. I don't think I am going to feel any relief until this little boy is found. I think they could arrest someone (Terri or ???), throw them in jail for life and it will not matter to me right now. In the large scope of things it doesn't truly solve anything until Kyron is found, in what ever state he may be in, just that he is brought home.

I have to say considering Kyron loved Terri and looked to her as a mother to him, I pray to God she didn't do this. How betrayed he would have felt at that moment. Betrayed and completely heartbroken. As a mother to little boys, I know how much they love their mama's.

[klaasend]

It was a little over a week ago that Desiree, Tony and Kaine indicated they wouldn't be doing press conferences because LE would have a heavy load (or something to that affect).

We haven't heard anything from Desiree and Tony for quite a few days now and really very little from Kaine. 

I believe they have been asked to hold off and that an indictment was near.  That makes sense to me.  I pray that there is a good outcome for Kyron but I'm not as confidant about that as I was a month ago.

[no rose colored glasses]

So are you saying that a Grand Jury was put together but you do not know exactly for what purpose or who they are trying to indict?

I know there is a grand jury having to do with this case.  I know there have been warrants issued and people subpoened to the grand jury...I don't know how many people have had this happen, but I do know some have.  I better not say anymore than this.  because I don't want to get someone in trouble.. and if I say more, it will pinpoint where my info is coming from.

I would imagine there are a lot of subpoenas that were issued for the grand jury. Teachers, adults that were at the fair, and children that saw Kyron that day at school, providing they subpoena children, which I wouldn't know for sure.

[Patricia Mocha Latte]

Although I don't believe that TH has harmed Kyron I believe that it is possible that she has in some way contributed to his disappearance. How? I am not sure as there is no real evidence to indicate as much imo. I have thought this way all along.
If their is going to be an indictment I would not doubt that it would be against TH if possible which so far that is the indication per the direction LE has taken thus far.

If that is all true then for sure I'd say the squeeze is on and TH and possibly others better start talking and telling all that she/they knows and not just what she/they wants LE to know.

[Tracygirl]

I can't recall at the moment, I have a terrible headache today. When a grand jury indictment is being sought the person being named does not have the right to be present or to present their side, is that right? I think it is.

[Tamikosmom]

Does the grand jury make the decision if there is or is not enough evidence to charge Terri Horman in the disappearance of Kyron Horman?

Roseburg residents still trying to focus on Kyron

 By Glen Beeby KPIC News & KPIC.com Staff

Story Published: Jul 22, 2010 at 2:58 PM PDT

ROSEBURG, Ore. -- It's been almost seven weeks since Kyron Horman went missing from a school in Portland.
Multimedia

Now, Roseburg has been pushed into the spotlight after Kyron's stepmother Terri Horman moved here to live with her parents.

KPIC News asked people around town about the case, and most say their main concern is still the missing boy.

Roseburg resident Ray Parrett, told KPIC News, "I feel that it has shifted kind of more to her and her husband's problems, rather than the actual locating of the kid and finding out where the child is, and I believe the child should have been found."

With so much time passed and few leads on his whereabouts, Multnomah County District Attorney Michael Schrunk told our sister station KATU News Thursday, that even if there is no arrest imminent in Kyron's dissapearance, his staff are now preparing an investigation that is trial ready for when an arrest occurs.

The situation is made confusing with a restraining order, allegations from Kyron's biological parents and Terri's refusal to answer questions about case.

Some residents feel that her not talking, speaks volumes. "(It) makes her look more guilty," said Roseburg resident Kasey Ozolins. "She should be helping out as much as she can if that is her stepson and she truly loves him, then, yeah, any mom would be out there searching day and night."

Missing person posters can still be found at several businesses around Roseburg.

The majority of people KPIC News talked with say they don't like the attention Terri has brought to the area, but they think there's still a chance of finding Kyron.

Candyce Wick-Porter said, "I hope. It's hard as a mom to think he is not coming back. You still want to wish and hope and pray, and think that they will be back."

REGARDING the television in the classroom.

Many schools have a tv in each classroom that is connected via cable to the media center.  The kids may have a morning "news" program that the watch before the late bell rings that would include annoucements and be run by school personel.  Also, the Media Specialist can run programs on dvds, online, or thru public broadcasting stations for educational purposes.  Teachers would request the programs be run and the Media Specialist would feed the program into that classroom.

Not saying that's how its done at Skyline but it may be.

In the large scope of things it doesn't truly solve anything until Kyron is found, in what ever state he may be in, just that he is brought home.

I feel the same way tracy,  I don't care who they arrest (well I hope it is the guilty person and not someone they just THINK is guilty) or what anyone does so long as they find kyron and get him home.  but if they are saying a good resolution, the only thing I can think of being a good resolution is if kyron is alive and comes home.  if not, it can't be a good resolution...

I just know they are doing something, and now they don't need all this money, so something changed, and it seems the money issue left the cops/investigation, and now switched over to the prosecutor needing money...

now I don't know why they have subpeoned certain people to the grand jury.. I could guess why, but maybe le's reason is "off" and the people don't know anything to tell the grand jury... that is also very possible... but there is a grand jury, that I know. and there have been warrants and subpeonas... so hopefully they are finding out something... no matter who or what it points at, hopefully it is something to bring kyron home and hopefully it is alive... if not, then I don't know how le can be saying there will be a good resolution.. if they think finding him deceased or not at all and ONLY indicting someone then they are very confused as to what a good resolution is.

Can the Grand Jury require Terry Horman to answers questions or ... can does she have the right not to testify?

I really hope that she called to offer support, not to feel out a book.  I'd lose respect for her if that is the case.

Yes the tv's and monitors have taken the place of the old projectors to show movies.

Another thing that I noticed, Angela Rockwood (James Moulton's stepmom) hasn't updated her facebook since July 9th when she was updating on a regular almost daily basis prior to that.  So I'm wondering if Angela, Ron Tarver and James have all been questioned by the grand jury and asked not to talk?
