It was reported that the homes of three of Terri Horman's friends were searched by police last week.
Warrants involved in the search were sealed.
The family of missing Kyron Horman released a statement and said police have identified a woman who has been in close communication with Terri Horman but is not cooperating with police.
The family said Spicher is
refusing to cooperate with authorities and is giving support and advice that is not in the best interests of our son.
Information given to them indicates that Spicher is suggesting to others, who may have information about Kyrons disappearance, not to cooperate either. If they find out she has impeded the investigation, they will pursue legal action against her.
Kyrons family has also pleaded with Terri Horman to cooperate with investigators and say she is not doing so.
The family has also said that they think Terri is somehow involved with the disappearance of Kyron and think a third party is involved.
Three homes of Terri Hormans friends were searched last week. Two in Tualatin and a third is at an undisclosed location. The source confirmed that one of the homes that was searched in Tualatin belongs to Spicher and that the FBI was involved in the search.
Spicher's home is at the Orchard Hills Condominium and the condominium association's chairman said investigators took Spichers computer and phone when they searched her unit.
Statement released by Desiree and Tony Young, and Kaine Horman:
We have been briefed by law enforcement on the most recent developments in Kyrons case. We have been informed that they have identified a person that has been in close communication with Terri Moulton Horman since Kyron went missing and her name is DeDe Spicher. She has not only been in close communication with Terri but has been providing Terri with support and advice that is not in the best interests of our son. Additional information provided shows that she is refusing to cooperate with law enforcement, she is also going as far as to suggest to others that may have information regarding Kyrons disappearance, not to cooperate as well. We implore DeDe Spicer (sic) to come forward and cooperate with the investigators in any way that they need in order to assist us in finding our son. We will state further that if we find out through the investigation that she caused a delay in us finding our son due to her lack of cooperation, we will pursue civil remedies in this matter.
We as a family cannot understand how anyone can look at Kyrons smiling face, having information and choose not to help bring him home. Please remember what this is about, its about bringing a wonderful little boy back to his family.
Desiree, Tony, and Kaine
