** Please note that it's important, since we'll be reviewing a variety of information, that we don't turn this into a General Discussion thread, and cause more work for our mods. The goal is to look for new information, information that now has more meaning to us than it did earlier, and document it here, so let's stay focused!

If we want to discuss possible meanings of what we find, let's do it in one of the discussion threads, so we can stay focused on our fact finding mission here.

Partial transcription from press conference video above:

south parking lot

At approx 14:04:

Reporter: Can you tell us if these are staged photos or if (unintelligible)?

DA: No further comment. Thank you.

Reporter: And on this photo, are you asking for anyone who was parked in this, this parking lot to call about (a bit unintelligible - every make of their car?) that was parked there?

Gates: Yes, that's what he was asking.

Detective: What I want to identify is the parents, it's more likely going to be parents who were attending the science fair. Sometimes in an investigation you look through it with a different lens than you do the very first day that it occurs. When you go back and you rethink of all the events and the information you have, you see bits and pieces of the investigation that you need clarification on. This is simply one of these events that we're looking for clarification on. The parents, the guests, the staff only in the area that I have depict (sic) in the photograph. We'd like them to call the tip line.
 
Partial transcription from press conference video above:

Witness or witnesses.

The DA @ approx 13:28:

(The DA points back toward the two school photos to his right, not the two Fred Meyer pics, which are on his left.)

"There's a legitimate question about why, why do we have these pictures in these two locations. A witness or witnesses have come forward and provided us with information about a person or persons associated with that pickup truck at approximately those locations. We're looking for additional witnesses."
 
That is Kaine's truck used in the photos. If you look closely, you can see the stickers on the back.
 
I'm having some problems with the ustream video of the Aug 11 press conference. I found this additional video:


Video: Watch the Kyron Horman news conference

The Multnomah County Sheriff's Office held a press conference at 11 a.m. Wednesday to release new case details in the Kyron Horman investigation.

"We are looking for anyone who may have seen Terri in her white truck between 8:15 and 8:45 a.m. that day near the school," said Deputy District Attorney Rod Underhill, who was the first person from the attorney's office to be present at a Kyron press conference."

***Wait a minute, Terri was seen outside between 8:15 and 8:45? I thought she was in the school?

The DA never said that. Video above. It's mis-reporting.
 
Presser at about 12:05, Gates says that they have the Major Crimes Team working on it full time, 7 days a week.

~~~to add~~~

Reporter: Is that because the area is close to the school exit?

DA: I can't comment any further on that.

**my comment** I think that at this point, they have established for sure that Kyron was taken away by vehicle.
 
They are specifically looking for anyone who saw that truck, Kaine's truck, on the south side parking lot of the school between 8:15 and 8:45; at approx. 9:00 a.m. at the first Fred Meyer, Hillsboro, location, at approximately 10:00 at the 2nd, Beaverton, Fred Meyers. and on the various roads Skyline between Springville rd & Newbury rds and on or around Germantown rd or Old Germantown rd.



The DA:

"there's a legitimate question about why we have these pictures in these two locations. A witness, or witnesses, have come forward and provided us with information about a person, or persons, associated with that pick up truck at approximately those locations. We're looking for additional witnesses."

He turns and is referring to the school images, while he's speaking about these pictures, not the FM pictures.


This makes me wonder if these flyers are two-fold, first, trying to corroborate a witness(s) testimony of the truck sighting at the school, which they do say is the reason for that one. And the second to try to substantiate/discredit TH's story and time line regarding the FM visits and the driving around, as they do not refer to any "witness" seeing the truck at those locations, I'm assuming they placed the truck there via surveillance tapes. So since they know the truck was there, and they know TH was in the FM via her acquaintance who saw her there, WHAT are they looking for to have happened in the FM parking lot? Do you think they think that TH handed Kyron off to someone in broad daylight in a FM parking lot where there was surveillance?

This statement from Gates speaks volumes to me:


When asked about the surveillance footage from the FM's, gates says "we are examining a major ton of EVIDENCE"

What evidence? They obviously know a WHOLE lot more than we do.
 
From presser at 15:50:

Reporter: From the FM parking lot, I mean, a white truck is pretty generic from two months ago. Is there anything, you know, maybe someone saw something that didn't seem quite right. Can you expand a little bit on what you are looking for from people there?

Gates: Anybody that, ahh, remembers seeing something that didn't seem quite right is exactly what we would like to hear about.

They don't say anything about the white truck in regards to the south parking lot.
 
I'll go back and check, but I'm pretty sure that's what I heard.
 
From the flier:

THE THIRD FOCUS IS SEEKING ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE TRUCK AT TWO (EITHER IN OR IN THE IMMEDIATE PROXIMITY OF) THE TRUCK DURING THOSE TIMES.

FRED MEYER STORES (LOCATIONS AND TIMES PHOTOGRAPHED AND LISTED ON THE NEXT PAGE) AS WELL AS ON OR NEAR SKYLINE BOULEVARD BETWEEN APPROXIMATELY SPRINGVILLE ROAD & NEWBERRY ROAD INCLUDING ON OR AROUND GERMANTOWN ROAD AND / OR OLD GERMANTOWN ROAD AT APPROXIMATELY 10:15 AM TO 11:30 AM

***Didn't Terri check into the gym (allegedly) at 11:49?
 
Hmmm..noodlin again. I wonder if they are trying to corroborate vehicles that were parked at the school in the south parking lot (as evidenced by request for make, model, color and license plate #s) with ones possibly seen in surveillance videos from either FM store?

What happened to Albertsons, BTW? (I guess that should go in the 'what happened to?" thread).

ETA: Notice what is underlined here from the flier (and why does it say "A" witness, not witnessES):

THE FOURTH FOCUS SEEKS THE IDENTITY OF A WITNESS WHO PARKED THEIR VEHICLE ON JUNE 4.
BEFORE 8:45 AM ON JUNE 4TH IN THE SKYLINE SCHOOL PARKING LOT ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE LOT (SEE PHOTO ON FOLLOWING PAGE)—IF YOU PARKED YOUR VEHICLE IN THAT DESCRIBED AREA PLEASE CONTACT LAW ENFORCEMENT WITH YOUR NAME, PHONE NUMBER, THE YEAR, MAKE & MODEL, COLOR, AND LICENSE PLATE NUMBER OF THE VEHICLE PARKED IN THE SCHOOL LOT.

Terri's timeline:

Updated August 25 2010

Combined info from the Two Timeline Articles and Terri's Emails

Grocery Shopping

First Article: According to multiple sources, Terri Moulton Horman says she left Skyline School at 8:45 in the morning without Kyron the day he disappeared and that between 8:45 a.m. and 10:10 a.m. she ran errands at local grocery stores and can prove it.

Terri's emails: I left the school at 9 and he was seen with a man “chaperone” and 2 girls after I left. I have a receipt showing I was checked out at Fred Meyer 7 miles away at 9:12am. I went to another FM looking for meds for Kitty they didn’t have at the first FM.


Driving on Rural Roads

First Article: Between 10:10 in the morning and 11:39, Terri said she drove her daughter K around on rural roads in the family’s white truck because K had an earache. She said she was trying to soothe the toddler with the motion of the vehicle.

Second Article: She told investigators that she drove K around a series of rural roads for an hour, saying she was trying to calm her down because she didn't feel well.

Terri's emails: Then I was trying to get Kitty to sleep in the truck for a few minutes, but no go, so off to the gym at 11:20.


Gym

First Article: At 11:39 a.m., Terri checked in at a 24-hour Fitness in Beaverton on Waterhouse Avenue and worked out for about an hour until 12:40 p.m.

Second Article: She went to the gym for about 45 minutes that morning and arrived home about 1 p.m. to post pictures from the science fair on her Facebook page.

Terri's emails: Then I was trying to get Kitty to sleep in the truck for a few minutes, but no go, so off to the gym at 11:20. Out at 12:20.


Back Home

First Article: By 1:21, Terri said she'd traveled home - a distance of nearly 11 miles - and was posting photos on Facebook she'd taken that morning of Kyron standing with his science project and of his friend, K, standing with his.

Second Article: She went to the gym for about 45 minutes that morning and arrived home about 1 p.m. to post pictures from the science fair on her Facebook page.

Terri's emails: Home at 12:45.
