Kyron Horman, 7 years old PORTLAND, OR #12 7/29/10 - 8/02/10

[Tamikosmom]

Just curious if anyone has any thoughts on the article that I linked/posted that shows the update being made in advance of the presser?

I'm not sure what to make of it.

Seems odd.

Patricia ... it is the "ground rules" regarding press conferences established by Kaine Horman at the getgo.  The questions and answers were known in advance.

Kyron Horman’s Family Boots WW and The Oregonian from Bizarre News Event
1:04 PM July 1st, 2010 by James Pitkin

The saga of missing 7-year-old Kyron Horman got a little more bizarre today at a news conference held this morning by the boy’s family.

The event at Brooks Hill Historic Church was arranged on Wednesday by Kyron’s father Kaine Horman, biological mother Desiree Young and her husband, Medford Police Detective Tony Young.

Absent was Terri Moulton Horman, the stepmom investigators say was the last person known to have seen Kyron before his June 4 disappearance. Kaine Horman filed for divorce and a restraining order against her earlier this week. And she’s since hired star criminal defense attorney Stephen Houze.

Today, Kaine Horman and the Youngs sat at the head of a table in a room filled with more than two dozen national and local reporters for print, TV and radio. As the meeting began at 10 a.m., Kaine Horman started out by explaining “the agenda.” This wasn’t going to be a typical press conference.

Horman said the family’s goal was to make “the story” about Kyron. With news of the divorce and investigators homing in on the stepmom, media coverage (including in WW) has increasingly focused on Kyron’s troubled family.

First came Horman’s “ground rules,” as he described them. No cameras. No recordings. Everything was off the record and couldn’t be reported, unless agreed otherwise. Horman made everyone in the room agree to these rules before proceeding. And so this roomful of reporters consented, in essence, not to be reporters.

Horman then laid out how the meeting would go. They would take questions, make some phone calls (presumably to investigators, to find out what they could say in their answers), then return and make an on-the-record statement. But first, Horman wanted all the reporters he didn’t know to introduce themselves.

KEX radio, KATU, The Portland Tribune and “Inside Edition” all got the nod from Horman. But then came Shane Kavanaugh and Bryan Denson of The Oregonian.

Horman said the family didn’t like The Oregonian’s coverage and wanted them to leave. Horman said the daily had failed to be a “team player.”

“This is a team, and if we’re not going to play as a team, there’s no point in being here,” Horman said. “This is about Kyron.”

Denson objected, saying he’s new to the story and after 28 years in journalism he’s “a pretty good reporter.” But there was no arguing. The family wanted The O gone, and a woman who said she’s a manager at the church escorted them out. The biggest newspaper in the state had been eighty-sixed.

I introduced myself and said I’m with Willamette Week. Horman said the family has the same problem with WW. I agreed to leave. And so the paper with the second-biggest circulation in Oregon was also kicked out.

As far as I was concerned, after getting kicked out all deals were off. I wasn’t going to keep the meeting off the record.

According to a reporter who stayed, the family went on to lay out more “ground rules” for the future. They said they’d hold these “news conferences” (if you can call them that) twice a week, on Mondays and Thursdays, as time allows. They would make prepared statements, answer some questions submitted in writing and may also do occasional interviews.

“They want us to cover Kyron, and they’re not going to get neck-deep in gossip and rumors,” the reporter said.

ABC News convinced the family to make an on-the-record statement in front of one camera, with the tape available as pool footage for other reporters. After more than an hour inside the church, the reporters were sent outside while the family stayed in to prepare a statement.

The reporter at the scene said The Oregonian had somehow gotten back on the family’s good side and was among those waiting outside to hear the prepared statement.

At shortly after 12:30, the family emerged from the church and Desiree Young gave a brief statement in which she implored Terri Moulton Horman to cooperate with investigators. She also said the family believes Kyron is still alive. Check out the video with KATU’s coverage here

Is it possible that the presser although taped live was not actually real-time live but was schedualed to air at 11am?

It would seem to make more sense.

Not sure I'm following you.  I think the video you posted and that website was simply in error.  The PC was definately live and at 11am pst.  No question about that. 

The video you posted was from last night with excerpts from earlier PC's.

Below is a follow up to scanner report that Kyron was under the Marquam bridge which I think is somewhat close to where Kyron went missing. I have NO WAY to substantiate this report,but Klaas said go ahead and post it. It is going on now according to the poster....again I don't have a scanner and don't know for sure



"All they said as I was on the phone and hearing scanner at same time was "Be advised, media en route" that is all I know.
Kyron siting in gold vehicle just NOW!

Marquam bridge be damned No way!!!


OMG! Did you hear that about the gold vehicle and Kyron on the scanner?

Yes on scanner Kyron sighting, nothing since"

Can you give us the link to where you are reading this please?  Thanks!

I want to but I am afraid I will get booted . It is a private board and it took a while to get "approved" As it is I am not supposed to copy and paste but I am thinking it is ok (it's not KHPD) what should I do??
Nothing new from there in the past few mins. I am going back.

Can you email me at smklaas@hotmail.com

Thanks!

Thanks Janet. Right so the ground rules did not apply to just that one presser but that and all future pressers. Gotcha.
That makes a heck of a lot more sense now.
I also noted that according to Kaine IIRC is that LE has no part in these press questioning meetings that Kaine and Desiree have agreed to.

Interesting.

Kyron Horman's Parents Plead for More Tips

PORTLAND, Ore. -- Kyron Horman's parents held a press conference Friday morning in Portland, pleading to the public to come forward with any information on their missing 7-year-old son.

Kyron's father Kaine Horman says the feels the investigation is progressing, but he believes that people have more tips that can lead police to finding his son. He also mentioned that he's encountered people who are afraid to talk to police. To them, he advises that they put themselves in Kyron's shoes for two minutes and think about how he is feeling.

Kyron's birth mother Desiree Young also wants people to come forward with tips, especially if they know Kaine's estranged wife Terri Horman or her friend Dede Spicher.

They also say if anyone has communicated with Terri electronically (e-mail, Facebook, Twitter, etc.), they should contact the police with any information, no matter how significant.

Young says her theory is that Kyron is alive and someone is holding him.

Janet - thanks for mentioning HLN - I was able to watch some of it when
they weren't going to commercials and anchor wasn't talking over Desiree.

They both look so worn down - particularly Desiree. 
How much longer can this go on!

I know....Klaas is checking into it now. It could be bs.... but it is still going on. There are no police reports for that area so far. Maybe someone is not hearing it right....I am trying not to get any hopes up or down just what I am seeing....going to wait before I post anymore.

I am not sure just how much Kaine and Desiree are privy to in regards to the status of the investigation.

I hadn't even noticed the comments section or if there was one until you mentioned it. I agree the comments are very interesting. Especially the part about primping prior to getting to the podium. How did that poster see that unless the person was there? I saw nothing of the sort.
I did see DY moving her lips as if to even out her lipstick or gloss or whatever but that could have just been a nervous reaction too.
I dunno.

Thanks.  What specifically is still going on?  What are they saying is being heard on the scanner now?
