Kyron Horman Missing

The search to find a missing 7-year-old is now considered a criminal investigation.  Lt. Mary Lindstrand of the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office confirmed to me that the official search efforts to track Kyron Horman are now shifting.  Lt. Lindstrand said, “Although this has been an investigation since day one, it has progressed into a criminal investigation.”  Searchers from her department are available to assist in going out on leads, but the immediate area where the child went missing has been covered a dozen times.  Right now teams are combing the water and land near Sauvie Island, this is their fourth day in this area.  Authorities announced yesterday that there is a $25,000 reward being offered for any information, and this case will not grow cold.

Rest peacefully Sarah

Very sad news to report this Christmas.  Just a few hours ago missing 11-year-old, Sarah Foxwell’s body was found by searchers near the Maryland-Delaware line.  Nearly 3,000 volunteers gave up their Christmas to search for the missing child throughout the Eastern Shore of Maryland.  Investigators say Sarah went missing on Tuesday from her home, and authorities believe Thomas J. Leggs, Jr., 30, a convicted sex offender, is the one who kidnapped her.  Leggs is charged with kidnapping and burglary, and more charges are likely to follow.  It is believed that Leggs did know the child, and may have been a former boyfriend of Sarah’s aunt, who is her legal guardian. Police fear there are other children who are victims of Thomas Leggs, and they are working to identify those children now.  If you have any information, please contact the Wicomico County Sheriff’s office: (410) 548-4891
