Hey everybody welcome back to Cold Case Murder Mysteries. I'm your host Ryan Kraus

dragging the swamp for clues once again as we delve into the psychological implications hidden

within the fascinating yet terribly sad mystery that is the disappearance of seven-year-old

Kyren-Horman. On June 4th, 2010, Terry Horman, the little boy's stepmother,

drove him to school at Skyline Elementary, a smaller educational institution

located near Forest Park on the outskirts of Portland, Oregon,

where they reportedly attended Kyren Science Fair together before classes started for the day.

Now, the way this is normally described is with the science fair actually taking place that morning prior to school, which I believed was probably inaccurate.

According to Terry, the science fair was actually the previous day, a time in which the

presentations were made. On the morning of the fourth, parents and others were invited into the

school for a viewing of these projects absent of the

presentations to accompany them.

That sounds far more reasonable to me, given to Terry is not at the school for more than 30 to 45 minutes that morning before departing.

During this time she takes a now iconic photo of Kyren standing in front of his tree frog project flashing a gap-tooth smile

below his short-cropped hair and glasses.

He seems a typical seven-year-old, enthusiastic and not yet aware of the horrors life sometimes

delivers to your doorstep. But that was about to change. This was the last photo anyone

would ever take of Chiron Hormon.

Terry reports that minutes after taking the final photo of Chiron,

which was witnessed by a school official, she then walked the boy into a hallway, at which point she said goodbye, and watched him walk alone toward his classroom door.

Satisfied he was close enough to the entrance of the room, Terry claims she turned and went the other way,

heading out to the white Ford F-250 pickup truck she parked outside.
