Kyron Horman -- Missing 6/4/10 #3

'We need to find Kyron, and that's what this is all about'

SEATTLE -- Seventeen months have passed since Kyron Horman vanished from his elementary school in Oregon.

Since then, detectives have invested more than 26,000 hours investigating the boy's disappearance and conducted more than 3,500 interviews. The boy's stepmother still remains under intense scrutiny, but no arrests have been made in the case.

"It's a little bit of mourning for loss everyday," said the boy's father, Kaine Horman. "(It is the) second time since he's been missing that we celebrated a birthday without him, and it's been really tough."

Special thanks to Julie for posting this info and alerting families of the missing or unresolved cases. ♥

I don’t doubt that Mr. Houze is taking great interest in these allegations against Sheriff Staton. Sheriff Staton is heading up the investigation of Kyron Horman and this calls his character and ethics into question.

Whistle-blowing lieutenant sues Multnomah County Sheriff's Office, alleging retaliation
May 09, 2012

(snip) The lawsuit also implicates current Sheriff Dan Staton, saying he has further derailed Elliott's career; allowed Capt. Monty Reiser to obtain correction certification without performing necessary field work; and made inappropriate requests for Elliott, now with river patrol, to take Staton's daughter's class on a ride in a sheriff's boat. Elliott is seeking $1.5 million in damages.

"Instead of supporting an environment of truth and accountability in officers, Staton was going to preserve the status quo of turning a blind eye to misconduct in officers," the lawsuit said. Moore is now Staton's undersheriff.

Staton Wednesday called the allegations unfounded. (snip)

(snip) "I think that the conduct of the sheriff and the chief deputy are so outrageous, so offensive, that I think somebody needs to step in and clean up that office once and for all," said Burrows, Elliott's lawyer.

Staton said it's not unusual for officers to verbally describe their knowledge of certain tactics because of limited time to demonstrate all the training requirements.

After Elliott had raised safety concerns about Staton's request to take his daughter's elementary school class on a sheriff's boat ride, Staton said he cancelled that ride and temporarily suspended such rides. Staton said those types of rides had occurred in the past.

"I didn't want this to turn into an issue and it was developing into an issue," the sheriff said. (snip)
