FAMILY FLIER DISTRIBUTION, SATURDAY, APRIL 16, 2011

More than 4,000 leads have poured in to help investigators with the search for Kyron Horman. This week, Multnomah County Sheriff Dan Staton said he will brief commissioners and the public on this case.
Kyron went missing from his Skyline elementary school on June 4, 2010 in Portland, Ore. while attending a science fair with his step-mother, Terri Horman. Authorities said they have identified all 490 persons and all 54 vehicles at the school that day, but they are no closer to solving this mystery. Since Kyron’s disappearance, dozens of searches and fundraisers have been held to raise money and awareness for the 7-year-old. No persons of interest or suspects have been named, but Terri Horman continues to be in the spotlight. Terri and Kyron’s father, Kane, are currently going through a divorce.
Desiree Young, Kyron’s mother, set out over the weekend to put pressure on Terri’s neighbors. She passed out fliers in Roseburg, Ore. about 200 miles away from where Kyron was last seen. Roseburg is also the new home and neighborhood of Terri Horman. Desiree wants Terri’s neighbors to know that she lives there and doesn’t want the public to forget about her son.
If you have any information on this investigation, please contact the Multnomah County Sheriff’s office.

Bethany Storro (victim)
Bethany Storro was walking down the street in Vancouver, Washington, getting ready to head into a Starbucks. She was celebrating her new job and enjoying life when she was viciously attacked with acid. Police say an unknown African American woman walked up to Bethany and uttered the words: “Hey pretty girl, do you want to drink this?” The stranger then threw the contents inside the cup on Bethany’s face. Investigators believe the contents were some sort of acid.
The pain was agonizing as she fell to the ground screaming for dear life. The skin was burning off her face and parts of her clothes were disintegrating. Thursday, with her parents at her side, Bethany spoke out for the first time about the incident. She said she will work on forgiving her attacker.
Bethany was released from the hospital earlier this week and Vancouver’s Anytime Fitness announced a fundraiser to be held Friday to help ease some of the financial burden. Bethany is a member at the facility that will host a self-defense class for women from 6 p.m. – 8 p.m. You can join the class for $20 and all of the proceeds will go to a fund. Bethany’s co-workers at the Safeway where she is employed started an additional fund at Riverview Community Bank branches throughout Oregon and Washington.


Kyron Horman (family photo)
A brand new website Bring Kyron Homehas launched to help find missing 7-year-old Kyron Horman. The goal is to continue to raise awareness of the case, spread the word, download and distribute fliers in various languages and report strange or suspicious activity. Kyron went missing on June 4, 2010 in Portland, Oregon. He was last seen at the Skyline Elementary school where he attended a morning science fair with his step-mother, Terri Moulton Horman.
The case has had many bizarre twists and turns since then, but to date investigators have not named a suspect or person of interest. A grand jury has been behind doors for weeks hearing testimony and information from people who knew Terri, or who may have information about Kyron. Investigators told me they’ve received thousands of leads in this case, but none have led them to Kyron.

UPDATE – 4:38 p.m. Oregon State Police officials say Issak Glenn was thankfully found safe about 20 minutes ago by two men driving on a dirt road near Big Creek. He has been reunited with his family members who were on the ground searching for him since yesterday. Authorities say he quickly ate a sandwich and drank water.
Investigators in Florence, Oregon are actively searching for 5-year-old Isaak Benjamin Glenn. Isaak was reported missing yesterday afternoon at the Carl G. Washburne Memorial State Park. He vanished around 5 p.m. and hasn’t been seen since. Searchers are currently on foot canvassing the area where the child went missing and are interviewing anyone who was staying at the park last night. The area was chocked to capacity with campers. Local investigators and members from the fire department are also assisting with the efforts.
It’s been nearly a week since 7-year-old Kyron Horman was last seen. Investigators say the child went missing from his elementary school on Friday, June 4, 2010. The Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office was immediately contacted and a search throughout the Portland area ensued. Last weekend, the Major Crimes Team stepped in to assist, and now the FBI is involved. There are expert search teams from the entire state combing the immediate area of where the child may have been taken. Sheriff Dan Staton said, every piece of ground within a 2 ½ mile radius of Kyron’s school has been covered, and the efforts today will go back over those areas.
Kyron’s family has reached out to the public, but not in person, or on camera. They issued a statement and urged the community for help with looking for Kyron. The family asks folks in the immediate area to please search their properties, buildings, sheds, any small places a child could hide. They say their reason for not appealing to the public in person is because they don’t want to take the attention away from Kyron. On a personal note, although I respect the family’s decision to scale back their public appearances, I also understand that they need the media to help find their son.

The FBI is trying to track down two men dubbed “Grandpa Bandits.” Agents say one suspect is responsible for six stick-ups and the other is a suspect in 18 robberies across 12 states. So far, “Grandpa Bandit” #1 has struck banks in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Michigan, Mississippi, Oklahoma, New York, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia. The FBI has had tremendous success with their digital billboards, and currently there are 75 of them displayed in those states looking for information. “Grandpa Bandit” # 2 is on the run in Oregon, and his most recent robbery was last week at a branch in Medford. The FBI says his previous five robberies were in Salem, Sherwood, West Linn, and Hillsboro. In one instance, a teller told agents the suspect did show a weapon in his waistband, and did threaten to kill the teller. Most of the incidents take 90 seconds or less. According to a recent crime statistic report for 2009 released by the FBI, there were a total of 5,943 robberies of banks last year with more than $45 million taken from institutions, and the hours of 9 – 11 a.m. were the most popular times to strike.

A serial bank robber dubbed the “grandpa bandit” is holding up banks throughout Oregon. The fist hold up occurred back in October, and since then the FBI says the unknown man has struck six times. The FBI says the “grandpa bandit” struck as recently as last week at the Bank of America in Medford, where he showed a teller a gun. Agents say it does not appear he had a weapon in the previous robberies. The FBI will not say exactly how much money he’s gotten away with, but they are offering $15,000 reward for information leading to his arrest. The suspect is described as 5′8″ to-5′10″, weighing 160-180 pounds and having gray hair. If you have any information, please contact:
