Summary

On the morning of June 4th, 2010, seven year old Kyron Horman was brought to his elementary school by his stepmother so that he could show her his science fair project. Skyline Elementary School in Portland, Oregon was having a science fair that day, and although the school would normally open at 8:35 AM, that morning the doors were unlocked at 8AM, to give the students a chance to tour the fair with their families. At around 8:45 AM, Kyron’s stepmother Terri Moulton Horman took a photograph of Kyron standing in front of his project, a detailed diorama of the red-eyed tree frog. He beamed proudly at the camera through his wire rimmed glasses, and then, according to Terri, she walked him to his classroom and watched him enter. But when attendance was taken that day, Kyron Horman was not present, and he would never be seen again. His mother Desiree Young would later say quote, “it’s like a portal opened up in the school and Kyron just vanished into it” end quote. The search for Kyron has been the largest criminal investigation in Portland history, but to this day there has been no sign of what happened to him, where he went, or who he was with.

0:00.0	Hello, everybody. Welcome back to Crime Weekly. I'm Stephanie Harlow. And I'm Derek Lovasser.
0:17.6	Today we are diving into part two of Kyron Hormann. And I don't know, do you want to say anything
0:23.6	before we start? Because I think it's going to be a longer episode. So if you want to just dive in,
0:26.7	we can dive in. Let's just dive right into it. It's already 11 o'clock. We'll get right to it
0:31.6	because I feel like just like last episode, we're going to have a lot of back and forth as a really
0:37.2	interesting case. And I can totally understand why everyone's so fascinated by this case.
0:42.4	Absolutely. And I mean, it's one of those cases where it's like, it just gets more and more in
0:47.4	depth than every layer that peels back. There's something other, you know, something crazy to find.
0:52.7	So we will dive right in the search for Kyron Hormann started with hope. Obviously he was a small
0:59.4	child who had been inside his own elementary school when he'd gone missing. Surely he would quickly
1:05.2	be found either hiding out somewhere in the school or on or near the school grounds, but he could
1:11.4	not have gotten far. Every square inch of skyline elementary school in Portland, Oregon was
1:16.7	searched bottom to top a two mile radius around the school was scoured using searchers on foot
1:23.1	on horseback and in helicopters sent dogs were brought in to search the two mile route between
1:28.8	the school and the home that Kyron shared with his father stepmother and half sister. Every person
1:34.4	who had been at the school on the day of the science fair was questioned in 22 state local
1:40.3	and federal agencies began to follow up on more than 1200 tips received. While all of this was
1:46.4	happening, the authorities and Kyron's biological parents Kane Hormann and Desray Young struggled to
1:52.3	piece together Kyron's last known movements based on the changing stories of his stepmother Terry
1:58.4	who had also been the last person to see Kyron alive. Her depiction of what happened is that the
2:04.3	last time she saw him she was down by the main office and he was here outside this classroom. I think
2:09.4	he was coming this way down the hall and she was turning and going the other way. I don't know if
