Sources: Search for Kyron Horman Focuses on Step-Mom, Cell Records

As the search for 7-year-old Kyron Horman continues, one of the most puzzling aspects has been rescue teams’ repeated and intensive searches of Sauvie Island.

The island is more than five miles from rural Skyline Elementary School, where Horman was reported missing June 4. But rescuers on horseback, on foot and in dive teams have repeatedly scoured the island beginning around June 10 and continuing this week — even after Multnomah County Sheriff Dan Staton called off other major search operations last Sunday.

WW has learned that federal, county and city law-enforcement officials say the reason for the search of Sauvie Island is that cell-phone records reveal Kyron’s step-mother, Terri Moulton Horman, may have been on the island the day he disappeared.

And as searchers comb the island, law-enforcement officials say the investigation is increasingly focusing on the step-mother, because of problems with her account of what she was doing the day Kyron went missing.

At this point in time, it seems unlikely that Kyron will be seen alive again. If the step mother's story is falling apart you can be sure that law enforcement will continue the search in that direction. Hopefully they will reach the truth sooner rather than later. Closure is important in a case like this.

This is just so sad.

1. Just Remember the cops effed up another investigation and put a father away for

A decade for killing his daughter and DNA proofed recently that he didn't do it.

5. Remember also the Aisenburg baby in Florida who was kidnapped from her

crib. The Feds focused on the parents, never investigating other leads, even conjured up false evidence against them ignoring even the possibiity that the baby was taken out of the country in a black market adoption scheme...

2. Oh dear

I was hoping they were looking closely at her - to at least clear up some questions.

He is such a cute little guy. What the heck could have happened.

3. The thing is they say she loved the child WELL

if she did do something to him, it really might have been an accident. After all loving mothers and fathers do have accidents and maybe this was one of them.

4. Involving a massive search of the whole state of Oregon....

...for some "mistake" she may have had seems a bit out of balance.

I agree with your premise. I just have to point out that if this was something awful that happened, this step-mom may be in for some hot water once the little lad is found.
