Kyron Horman case: Initial timeline for June 4th

I have been working on an overall timeline for the Kyron Horman case, but I felt that with the recent reporting from KATU on what Terri Horman has alleged her activities were after leaving Skyline Elementary, we would focus in on June 4th and a preliminary timeline for that date. Each entry will be tagged with where it is coming from (i.e. Facebook, Terri, Kaine, etc.) I will also add some information from reports that may point to additional information for a particular timeframe. In other words, let’s start trying to connect some dots for June 4th.

7:45 a.m. from Kaine Horman:

Kaine leaves for work. He has a brief conversation with Kyron in the front yard. He wishes Kyron well on his Science Fair project and they talk of getting ice cream in celebration of his hard work after school. Kaine leaves in the red Mustang because Terri has requested the white F250 Ford pickup so that she can bring Kyron’s science fair project home from school. Note: Kaine’s statements reflect he thought that Terri would remain at the science fair until it was over and bring the project home at that time. However, Terri does not do this. She (and most likely Kyron) leave the school apparently before 9:00 a.m. without the project. She later emails Ms. Porter, Kyron’s second grade teacher asking when she could pickup the project. This email is not sent until the afternoon when Kaine is supposed to arrive back home from work, which means Terri never needed the pickup for the purpose she intended, since it would have been home with Kaine by the end of the school day.

8:00 a.m. according to Kaine Horman:

Kaine arrives at work.

8:01 a.m. from Facebook:

Terri is on computer playing Family Feud on Facebook. The following is posted on her Facebook wall due to that activity:

8:15 a.m. reported to be according to Terri Horman:

Terri, Kyron and (according to Kaine) Kiara arrive at Skyline Elementary. Note: Early reports state Terri and Kyron left his backpack and jacket in his classroom. Some reports state they left it on his desk, others state it was left in his locker. Both reports remain unconfirmed at this time. Between about 8:15 and sometime after 8:30 a.m. Terri and Kyron are seen by Gina Zimmerman, president of Skyline elementary PTA. Mr. Matt Shelby, spokesman for Portland School system, states that two teachers (Ms. Porter and a second teacher) see Terri and Kyron together at the school and “believe they left together”. Also during this time, Terri takes photos of Kyron and his good friend Kurtis by their science fair projects. Kurtis and his mother confirm seeing Terri and Kyron. Tyler Kessinger, a 7th grader at Skyline reports he saw Kyron at some point in the gym with friends. He also states at this time that Terri’s pickup was still in the parking lot. It is reported that at some point Terri tells Ms. Porter (“in a crowded auditorium” ) that Kyron has a doctor’s appointment, but this report remains unconfirmed. It is my belief the statement may have been made on Thursday, June 3rd, when Terri delivered Kyron’s project to the school. Terri states, through her friend Jaymie Finster, that she made the statement of the doctor’s appointment to Ms. Porter on the 3rd. The statement is made in what appears to be an intentionally confusing and vague manner as Kyron has an appointment “on Friday” allowing Terri to immediately state, once the statement was made public, that she meant the following Friday, June 11th. It is my contention Terri first told Kyron of the doctor’s appointment, and that they would need to leave school early, on their trip to the school. Kurtis, Kyron’s good friend and lunch buddy, states that Kyron told him he had a doctor’s appointment while Kyron was still at the school on the morning of June 4th.

8:45 a.m. reported to be according to Terri Horman:

Terri states she last saw Kyron in the hall walking toward his classroom. Terri Horman states she left Skyline elementary without Kyron at this time. Note: Early reports stated someone (possibly a student) thought they saw Kyron at approximately 9 a.m. near one of the Skyline exit doors. Since then law enforcement has stated that Terri Horman was the last person to see Kyron. This points to the early reports of the 9 a.m. sighting being ruled out as untrustworthy by law enforcement. Tanner Pumala, in an interview given in the early days of the investigation, states he spoke with Kyron in the hall and Kyron told him that he was going back to look at a cool “electric” project. But Tanner also states (or implies) Kyron was in his small group of 6 children led by a “substitute teacher” to tour the science projects between 9 a.m. and 10 a.m. Tanner states that when the group of 6 returned to their classroom the substitute teacher noted that Kyron was missing by noticing “there were only 5″ children. Tanner states that when the substitute teacher makes this statement, Ms. Porter, who Tanner states is in the classroom, responds that Kyron probably went to the bathroom. At this time it appears Tanner’s account has not been confirmed and is in question as to accuracy. First there is the law enforcement statement that Terri was the last person to see Kyron. Second is Mr. Shelby’s statement that no substitute teachers were at Skyline elementary on June 4th (although, as previously explained this could have simply been an adult volunteer that a second grader assumed was a substitute). Third is that Terri was apparently gone well before 10:00 a.m. (apparently with Kyron) and hence the reason she did not take the project with her in the pickup because the fair wasn’t over when she left.

10:00 a.m. reported to be according to Ms. Porter:

Roll is taken for Kyron’s class and he is marked absent. No call to parents is made based on Ms. Porter’s assumption Kyron has gone with Terri to a doctor’s appointment.

8:45 a.m. to 10:10 a.m. reported to be according to Terri Horman:

Terri states she ran errands at local grocery stores and can prove it. Note: It has been reported that law enforcement has requested surveillance video for June 4th from a local Fred Myers (locally referred to as “Freddy’s” ) and an Albertson’s. The Freddy’s law enforcement is reported to have requested video from is located at 22075 NW Inbrie off Sunset and Hwy 26 in Hillsboro. From Terri’s Facebook account a Facebook friend by the name of “Sherry Griswold” posts on Terri’s wall often and prior to Kyron’s disappearance. On May 29, 2010 the following exchange takes place:

Sherry Griswold
To you and Kitty, you always make me smile
May 29 at 10:17am

Terri Moulton Horman
Aww Sherry. You guys are the reason I come to that Freddy’s.
May 29 at 10:18am

Sherry Griswold
we are happy about that, we just love you!!!!!!♥
May 29 at 10:24am

Question: Has Sherry Griswold been questioned? Since Terri publicly states she frequents one particular Freddy’s, and it is the one Sherry works at, was Sherry working on June 4th when Terri was there? Did they see each other during that visit? If Terri claims to have gone to a different Freddy’s, does she have a good reason for going to one that she did not typically visit as reflected in her Facebook comment?

9:45 a.m. reported as a man who identifies himself as “Chas”:

Chas states he was driving south on Hwy 30 at this time when a white F250 Ford pickup pulled out in front of him headed south. As he came along side he noticed the driver was a redheaded woman who he later learned was Terri Horman from news coverage. Chas states the pickup pulled out onto Hwy 30 from a side road “north of Logie Trail Rd”. Chas states he phoned in his sighting twice to the tipline.

10:10 a.m. to 11:39 a.m. reported to be according to Terri Horman:

Terri claims she drove around on rural roads trying to calm Kiara down because Kiara had an earache. Note: Well, isn’t that convenient? In the early stages of the investigation MCSO requests surveillance video from businesses and private properties along specific routes. The routes are numerous and envelope a large area of heavily forested land.

11:30 a.m. reported to be according to DeDe Spicher’s coworker and customer:

DeDe Spicher, reported to have been a friend of the Hormans for 7 years, is reported to have been working with a coworker on a residential job near the Horman residence. At 11:30 the coworker and property owner state DeDe “abruptly left”. For the next hour to 90 minutes DeDe cannot be contacted on her cell phone. She is reported to have finally showed back up at the job location between 12:30 and 1:00 p.m.

11:39 a.m. reported to be according to Terri Horman:

Despite the fact she has just spent an hour and 29 minutes driving the back roads of NW Portland allegedly to sooth the pain of her daughter’s earache, Terri Horman states she arrived at a 24-hour Fitness center in Beaverton on Waterhouse Avenue and worked out for an hour until 12:40 p.m. Note: It is assumed that Kiara – along with her earache – was dropped off in the childcare center at the fitness center. Important point here…this period of time coincides almost exactly with the time DeDe Spicher is “missing” from the job location. There are two questions to keep in mind here: 1…while Kiara may have been dropped at the childcare center, did Terri in fact remain at the fitness center and work out or did she slip out for an hour? 2…since Terri and DeDe have similar appearances, did DeDe conveniently show up and work out for an hour while Terri slipped away in order to set up a confusing situation with a slightly overweight redheaded woman working out in the gym during this period?

1:21 p.m. from Facebook:

Terri posts the pictures she took that morning of Kyron with his science fair project. Around this same time she sends an email to Ms. Porter asking when she can pick up the science fair project. Note: The email to Ms. Porter not only doesn’t make sense, it was absolutely unnecessary. Terri had been at the school that morning. The assumption would be, since she didn’t stick around until the end of the fair to take the project, that the project could be picked up at the end of the school day. There was no need to send an email to a teacher in the middle of a busy school day asking when the project could be picked up. Odds are that Terri (being active as a former teacher and as a substitute and volunteer at Skyline) knew full well that Ms. Porter would be unable to respond until the end of the school day anyway. This email is an apparent attempt to establish Terri thinks “nothing is wrong”.

1:45 p.m. according to Kaine Horman:

Kaine leaves work to work the rest of the day at home. Note: There has been no sign that this was a last minute decision. Based on Kaine’s reported statement to Kyron that morning that they would go for ice cream after school, and based on the fact Desiree has since revealed that Kyron was scheduled to make a 3-1/2 to 4 hour trip to Medford to stay with his mom and stepdad, it is apparent to this writer that Kaine intended all along to be home before Kyron got home from school in order to go for the ice cream shortly afterwards. Again, this is important since Terri appears to have never intended to pick up the project prior to Kaine arriving back home and therefore there was no BENIGN reason for her taking the pickup that morning.

2:00 p.m. according to Kaine Horman:

Kaine arrives home from work. Terri and Kiara are at the house. Kaine works until about 3:30 p.m.

3:30 to 3:35 according to Kaine Horman:

Kaine states he and Kiara walked to the bus stop with Terri following slightly behind. Some reports state Kaine or Terri or both had the bus driver phone back to the school at which point the bus driver informs them the school had Kyron marked absent all day. Other reports have Terri phoning the school secretary at which time Terri is informed Kyron was marked absent all day. Note: It is assumed that Kaine, Terri and Kiara all head to the school at this point based on statements made later by Desiree. Desiree states she was phoned by the school secretary and informed that Kyron had been missing all day. She states Terri was standing there with the school secretary during this phone call. Desiree states she hung up from the conversation with the secretary and immediately called Terri on her cell phone.

3:46 p.m. reported to be from Skyline elementary staff, law enforcement records and Desiree:

School secretary Susan Hall places 911 call and reports Kyron missing to authorities. Susan then calls Desiree and informs her of Kyron’s missing status. Desiree speaks with Terri immediately afterward on Terri’s cell phone. Desiree states she was immediately concerned because statements Terri made during that phone call didn’t make sense.

4:33 p.m. reported to be from MCSO records:

Investigation into Kyron’s missing person case formerly begins when Portland Police and MCSO officers arrive simultaneously at both Skyline elementary and Horman residence.
