Q
Desiree: Well we're, we're still a united front in the goal that we want Kyron home and we want answers. That hasn't changed.
I personally have learned of information lately that has disappointed me in Kaine's choices and his behavior, and I just can't stand by and support the choices that he's making.
Q: court documents ... yet he never shared any of his concerns with you. Is that correct?
Desiree: That's correct. We learned of all of this information after the fact and from the media.
He had several opportunities to let Tony and I know what was going on in the house and he did not. He had several opportunities to make the right choice and either let me know or remove Kyron from the house.
I would have removed Kyron from the house had I have known what was going on.
Q
Desiree: I did not see any signs of the alc... Yeah. I did not see any evidence of the alcohhol abuse in fact I didn't know about the DUI until after Kyron went missing.
But as far as a personality disorder, I did for years, I was aware that she had some issues with pathological lying, things of that nature, but just mostly from my interactions with her, I don't... I didn't see, you know, as much as Kaine did.
Q
Desiree: Oh yes I did. Starting a year prior to his, him going missing, I tried to get custody of him.
Q
Desiree: Kaine told me it was not an option on several occasions, and it was a point of contention with us.
He was exhibiting some problems in school and he was expressing a lot of sadness and upset at the situation, and Kyron on many occasions told me he wanted to come live with me, and on a couple of different occasions Terri had called me specifically so that I could talk to Kyron because he was so upset, and Terri personally wanted me to take Kyron.
Q (paraphrased - on Friday LE showed Desiree emails Terri had sent to friends describing her marriage to Kaine and her feelings about Kyron)
Desiree: It's very clear from Terri's horrible words that she had a severe hatred for Kyron, and that a lot... she blamed a lot of the marital problems between Kaine and herself on Kyron, that it was a huge point of contention in their marriage, and she had expressed in great detail her hatred for Kyron.
I now believe without a shadow of a doubt that not only is she capable of hurting Kyron, that it's clear that she could have hurt him in the worst possible way.
Q (paraphrased - do you hold out hope he's alive?)
Desiree: I will until the day I die.
