Searches are continuing to take place at locations previously searched by investigators in the Kyron Horman disappearance case. Neighbors state searchers were back in the area of Skyline Elementary searching. They returned to some private properties that they had already searched before. In fact, some several times. Residents in the area reported it appeared law enforcement was centering on properties where pick ups were owned.
In addition to new searches, investigators have begun to re-interview people who were at Skyline Elementary on June 4th, the day Kyron went missing. Some of these people have already been interviewed multiple times. Investigators have also asked local media if they would supply footage of any interviews they have done with “potential witnesses” on the case. This curious move appears to be to try to further refine the timeline of events on June 4th. MCSO spokesman Travis Gullberg stated the request does not indicate there is anything new in the investigation, only that they are attempting to ensure the accuracy of their information. It appears that some people who have been interviewed by investigators went on to give different accounts in interviews to media.
Of particular interest in the articles covering the new activities on this case was the mention of a 7th grader from Skyline Elementary that I do not recall reading about previously. Tyler Kessinger states he saw Kyron on the morning of June 4th at Skyline. His statements appear, from news articles, to potentially have significance in locking down accounts and times at the school. For instance, he states he saw Kyron in the gym “with friends”, but did not see Terri Horman with him at that time. In fact, his statement reads, “I just saw him (Kyron) in the gym, and I saw the truck out in the parking lot.” Now, the importance of this statement, if accurate, falls on what time he saw Kyron in the gym. Law enforcement has requested he not publicly state what the time was.
Terri Horman states she left Kyron in the hall at 8:45 a.m. and left the school. If Tyler saw Kyron in the gym past 8:45 a.m. – even more importantly after 9:00 a.m. – and noticed Terri’s white truck in the parking lot at this later time, it places Terri on the property at a later time in the morning than she has led investigators to believe and would show that she did not leave the property once she left Kyron in the hall.
But even if the time is not later in the morning, there could be further importance to Tyler’s account. Ms. Porter, Kyron’s second grade teacher, is reported to have stated (this is unconfirmed to this date) that Terri told her that Kyron had a doctor’s appointment that day. This is actually the only reason that has been given about why Kyron’s absence at 10:00 a.m., when roll call was taken after the science fair tour, did not alarm Ms. Porter. Ms. Porter’s account states that Terri told her this in a crowded auditorium.
Now, Terri, through her friend Jaymie Finster, has rebutted Ms. Porter’s reported statement about the doctor’s appointment by stating she did not tell Ms. Porter about the doctor’s appointment on Friday morning, but instead on Thursday. And Terri further states the doctor’s appointment was not on June 4th, but for the following Friday, June 11th. Terri has also stated (all via Jaymie) that she also gave Ms. Porter paper work that needed to be filled out in connection with this doctor’s appointment. As I have stated all along, this is a concrete statement that either can be confirmed or denied by the actual (if any) doctor’s appointment and required paperwork. Either there was an appointment, or there wasn’t. And either there was required paperwork for that appointment, or there wasn’t.
This curious issue remains unanswered even though it has been submitted in Q&A sessions to the family. Kaine responded with a cryptic answer that they had heard of the appointment but had been unable to confirm when it was scheduled. A bit of a nonstatement, if you will.
Could Tyler’s account of Kyron in the gym be verification of the reported statement by Ms. Porter? Up until Tyler’s statements to KATU, there has been no confirmed placement of Kyron in a gym or auditorium. (Keeping straight that in most small schools the gym usually doubles as the auditorium and some times triples as the cafeteria.) Could Tyler hold more answers to these questions that have confused the timeline?
Valhall.
