Kyron Horman’s Parents Acting Odd

/in /by

Click photo above to see KATU News Video about Kyron Horman’s Parents

Kyron Horman has been missing for a week. According to reports, Kyron had a science project, so his stepmother, Terri Moulton Horman, drove him to school that morning, watched Kyron setup his display, took a photo of him and then looked around at other projects with Kyron before waving goodbye to him in the hallway and leaving.

Read moreAt 3:30, Terri went to the bus stop to meet Kyron, but the bus driver told her that he wasn’t on the bus, at which point Terri calls the school and finds out her son was reported as absent. There were people, however, who vouch for seeing Terri and Kyron at the school that morning.

It’s a big mystery–that’s for sure!

Several people have emailed me and made note of different oddities. The most notable oddity is that the parents of Kyron have not made any public pleas for their son where they talk to the media. Yes, this is strange. I agree. As parents, this would be the first thing you would expect them to do –to get the word out there. And if they didn’t want to go on camera, you would at least expect a spokesperson to get the word out there for them, but we don’t see that either.

Has anyone seen them on any searches? Are they searching for their son at all? This would be the second natural thing we would expect to see.

Others have sent me emails about how Terri is posting on her Facebook page in a nonchalant manner, which she has now made more private to prevent people from seeing her comments. On Terri’s Facebook page, she talked about posting flyers.

And then to see the news media approached the Horman parents in this interview and to see them walk away as if they have something to hide–that is amazing to me! You’d think they could say two words, wouldn’t you? Why not?

The Horman’s released a statement through the Sheriffs office yesterday at a press conference the Horman’s did not attend. You can hear it here.

Of course, I don’t believe we can say anything conclusive about this, but it sure does raise eyebrows, doesn’t it? If anyone sees the parents speak out, please let me know. I am interested to watch and listen to what they have to say.

I did find it odd that this retired police detective said to the news team in the video above that statements from families don’t really help investigators, but they help the community who is emotionally invested in a child’s disappearance. I wonder if he really said that, or if the media botched up his words somehow. That would be extremely odd, wouldn’t you think? You’d have to ask if he has ever seen “Lie to Me” or the science behind it.

Thanks to all the readers who share information with me.

Thomas Bögerl and Police Pass Blame

Holding Cell Phone and $100 Bill Stacks

The news today in the banker’s wife kidnapping is getting interesting. It appears from my translation that the German police and banker, Thomas Bögerl, are pointing fingers at each over why they didn’t get the ransom to the kidnappers in time — hence who is partially to blame for Maria Bögerl’s murder.

Read moreFor those of you who haven’t kept up on this story, sadly, Maria Bögerl’s corpse was found earlier this week, and her kidnappers have yet to be identified. While I haven’t made any opinions on the case, I did find Thomas Bögerl’s expressions interesting in this video (see comments), and that is why I am following this case. I do not think someone’s truthfulness can be determined by a facial expression alone, but I am curious if it was a clue.

The news reports that I have translated today say it was 11:30 (half to 12) when the phone rang at Thomas’ office, according to reports. A man with a Swabian accent was on the phone and demanded 300,000 euros in special notes, or he would kill Thomas’ wife, Maria. Thomas was given two and a half hours to get the money and deliver it, but Thomas didn’t get to the spot until 3:27, according to the news report. He just didn’t have enough time. The money sat there until the next morning, when it was inadvertently removed by a highway worker. The kidnappers never claimed it.

The police apparently are arguing that they offered to get the money, but that Thomas insisted he would use his (steal from the bank?). Thomas, however, says that he never insisted he’d get the money, as the amount was a concern. According to the Build, a German newspaper, Thomas informed the police he couldn’t come up with the money at 1:15.

The article doesn’t say how much money was gathered or where it came from, or if it does, I am losing it in the translation. I also have to wonder how far was the bank from Thomas’ office. CMA, a reader to the blog, has provided a more detailed comment, explaining it in more detail below as has “my name“.

Happiness: Are you feeling it?

/in /by

There have been so many cases lately that are emotionally gut-wrenching, I thought it would be nice to take a look at a photo of happiness.

Read moreIn Dr. Paul Ekman’s research on facial expressions, he found that when he mimicked negative emotions like frowning, he started to feel down, and when he mimicked happy emotions, he started to feel better. If my memory serves me right, he talks about it in his book, Emotions Revealed.

Dr. David Matsumoto, another leading expert on facial expressions, writes about a related topic in National Geographic magazine, (in their Spanish edition, he translates it for you) about how our emotions are “bio-psycho-social reactions”. It’s fascinating reading how our emotions are connected to our biological responses!

So, now that you see a happy face, do you feel better? I hope so! If not, maybe her smile didn’t make you smile? (edited).

I needed a pick me up and I suspect you could use one, too.

Very Disturbing Photo of Shannon

Utah Valley Regional Medical Center

Celebitchy shared the news with me that Shannon Price, the ex-wife of the late Gary Coleman, is on the cover of the Globe this morning, and I must say the photo is very disturbing. She is leaning over Gary on life support in his hospital bed at the Utah Valley Regional Medical Center.

Read moreIf you are sensitive, I caution you not to look at it. The only reason I am discussing it is because human behavior, in and of itself, is fascinating. I would never believe someone would do this, though I know people can be sick and evil. Logically, I know people will do this. Emotionally, I can’t get my brain around it. It’s just hard to grasp people can be this sick. There should be laws against taking this on a variety of levels, if you ask me from taking photos of unconscious people to publishing them (not that I want laws, but this shouldn’t be allowed).

Clearly, something is very wrong with Shannon Price. Everyone sees it. The woman hasn’t acted appropriately one time in the entire ordeal of Gary dying. I have no doubt about it, this is what she wanted and she experienced positive emotions at times, evident by her smiling as she talked about what it was like to take him off of life support.

Shannon Price is starting to remind me of Diane Downs, who is one in a gazillion, thankfully–the sickest of the sick. As sick as this photo is, I hope it is a catalyst to bring about some action and stop her from causing more nightmares!
