Maybe I just don't trust Terri.  I think she would lie about Ecker given half a chance.  I think Terri is a user and a manipulator.

Source: Investigators far from solving Kyron case
By Dan Tilkin KATU News and KATU.com Staff

Investigators are a long way from finding out what happened to Kyron Horman, the 7-year-old boy who disappeared 11 weeks ago from his school, according to a well-placed source on Friday.

The source said investigators are gathering new facts everyday but unless some unforeseen bit of evidence appears the investigation will likely take months.

Other recent cases show it can take years to get answers and Jim McIntyre, an attorney and former prosecutor, said the public has a false expectation that cases like this are solved quickly. He said he doesn’t think the Kyron investigation has stalled.

Of course, this is someone's opinion.

A "well-placed source", "unnamed sources" "sources" - I'm a source, you're a souce, we're all sources. 

When we start reading "LE says we've made an arrest ", "Sherriff says we have evidence", etc. - then is when I'll take it as fact or as meaningful; otherwise, it's all questionable - IMO.

I doubt that having the Sheriff's office call on him to threaten him with harrassment was the only hint Terri gave him to stay away from them.

That was a child support issue ... it had nothing to do with visitation/joint custody of his adopted son ... a legal right that Ecker forfeited.  Obviously ... a relationship with James was not worth pursuing.

Terri Moulton Horman: Kyron Horman's stepmother is a profile in contradictions

In August 1998, two years after they were married, Richard Ecker adopted James. Tarver, who struggled financially, agreed to give up his parental rights. In January 2002, Horman and Ecker were divorced. She got primary custody of James and the decree included an informal agreement that Ecker would pay about $169 a month in child support.

A year later, Horman went to Washington County authorities, asking for more child support. His payments were bumped up to nearly $550 a month. Ecker went to Horman's house to ask for a break on child support, saying the payments were cutting a big chunk out of his salary. She seemed amenable to a reduction, he said, but the next day he got a call from the Washington County Sheriff's Office, telling him to stop harassing his ex-wife.

Ecker has not seen James since that call and still pays child support. He estimates he's contributed about $46,000.

Horman legally changed his last name from Ecker to Moulton in January this year.

James said he misses his little sister — and would like to see Kaine as well.

"He was like a dad to me," James said. "I lived with him for eight years."

Kaine hopes to talk to James again soon.
