When news of Kyron Horman’s disappearance hit the media in Portland, it almost immediately became a national story. According to Unsolved Magazine, the community mobilized and met at a local church to begin searching for the boy. This search for Kyron would eventually become the largest investigation in state history. While this massive search was taking place, suspicion fell on the boy’s stepmother, Terri Horman. She has denied any involvement in the disappearance of her stepson, despite insinuations from Horman’s mother, Desiree Young, and reportedly failing two polygraph tests about the incident.
It has been over 11 years since Kyron disappeared, and unfortunately, he has never been found. Despite proof he was dropped off at school that day, there have not been any clues as to what happened to him in that hour after that last photograph. There have been no suspects named in the case, either, and no one has ever been charged. The community has continued to search for him over the last decade, and his mother has vowed to “never stop fighting for her son,” per KATU. Though he would be 19 years old at this point, the search for Kyron Horman is still active.
