Authorities plan to brief the public later this morning about the status of the search.
PORTLAND, Ore. - Police still called the search for a 7-year-old Skyline Elementary School student on Monday a missing endangered child investigation and not a kidnapping.
PORTLAND, Ore. Relatives of a 7-year-old Portland boy who went missing from his elementary school and hasn't been seen for five days urged those working to find him to carry on the search with optimism.
Kyron Horman, the missing 7 year old Oregon boy, was last seen 5 days ago on June 4, 2010. The family has been on the down low since the alleged abduction of little Kryon. However, now the family has released a statement to Captain Mike Shults of the Multnomah County Sheriffs Office of Portland, Oregon.
Shults read the statement during a Press Conference and the main thing the family is asking the people to is Please dont stop looking for their son, Kryon Harmon. Not only is the Portland Oregon authorities looking for the Harmon boy, but now FBI is investigating the case.
Though thousands of Portlanders have offered to help police in the search for missing Kyron Horman, authorities have turned them away. A search like this is best left to the experts.
But there is now a way you can help. Hundreds of search and rescue personnel are joining the search today and they all need to be fed and hydrated. Many are so dedicated to the search for Kyron that they arent even going home to eat with their families.
