In 2010, This Second-Grader Arrived At His School To Show His Stepmom The Project He Made For A Science Fair, But He Never Made It To Class That Day And When He Didn’t Come Home On The Bus, His Family Realized He Was Missing

Then, at 8:45 a.m., Terri watched as her stepson walked to his school classroom. Afterward, she left the elementary school but without Kryon’s project.

Another Skyline Elementary School student later reported spotting the 7-year-old by the south entrance of the school at 9:00 a.m. And tragically, that was the final time anyone saw Kyron alive.

The school day commenced at 10:00 a.m., but Kyron was not in attendance. His homeroom teacher subsequently marked him “absent.”

At the same time, Terri was out using Kyron’s dad’s truck to run errands, even though her initial purpose for borrowing the car was to pick up Kyron’s project– which she never took home.

Nonetheless, between 10:10 a.m. and 11:39 a.m., Terri went shopping at two grocery stores. Her daughter also had an ear infection, so Terri drove the little girl around while they waited for the ear infection medication to kick in.

Then, at 11:39 a.m., Terri visited a 24-hour gym and worked out until about 12:40 p.m. And by 1:21 p.m., she had posted a photo on Facebook of Kyron standing with his science fair project– which she had captured earlier that morning.

So, it was not until 3:30 p.m., when Terri and Kryon’s father, Kaine, met the school bus, that they realized Kyron had not been at school all day. Afterward, the school’s secretary immediately contacted authorities to report the 7-year-old missing.

Police officers arrived about 45 minutes later, and at 5:30 p.m., a mass text was sent to parents reading, “Kyron Horman did not arrive at home today.”

By 7:45 p.m., the FBI had been personally informed about Kyron’s disappearance by the Multnomah County Sheriff. And from 8:09 p.m. to 10:45 p.m. that evening, teams conducted a comprehensive search of the elementary school.

The day after Kyron disappeared, June 5, 2010, the search efforts continued. All of the staff, parents, and children who were present at the elementary school the prior day were also instructed to attend a police briefing on Sunday.

By that point, the national guard and FBI had joined the search effort– bringing in a profiler and passing out the 7-year-old’s missing person flyer.
