A written statement made by Kryon's father is not available for this release
"Hello, my name is Tony Young, and I am Kyron's step-father. The family has asked me to speak on their behalf.
Kyron we miss you. We love you. We want and need you home.
We are doing everything we can to work with law enforcement and the search and rescue crews to make sure you can get back to us as soon as possible.
We want to say how much we appreciate the outpouring of love and support prayers and thoughts as we wait for you. Your school friends and their families, the teachers and staff at your school, and the community as a whole have shown how much impact one little boy's smile can have.
You mean everything to us, and until you come home, our family is not complete.
Please Kyron keep up the hope. We believe in you and we know you will be back with us soon."
Press Release 3:
To add to that information, we have on display the likenesses of the shirt, pants, socks and shoes Kyron was wearing on the day of his disappearance. The pants displayed here are of the same style Kyron was wearing, but those he was last seen in were darker. Otherwise these clothes represent identifying items in this search. We show these items to create additional awareness for the public seeing any of these items individually (a sock, a shirt or shoe) could be the tip that we need to locate Kyron.

Good Afternoon. I'm Captain Monte Reiser of the Multnomah County Sheriffs Office, and I'll be updating you regarding our continuing search for Kyron.
During yesterday's briefing there was a question about community involvement in the search. We want to again make an appeal to the community that there many ways for you to be involved. First, we urge you to familiarize yourselves with pictures and information regarding Kyron, available both on our website at
www.mcso.us, and at our media site at
www.flashalert.net/news.html?id=1276 .
Your knowledge of his description and information regarding the search will raise public awareness and work in concert with our search and rescue efforts. To add to that information, we have on display the likenesses of the shirt, pants, socks and shoes Kyron was wearing on the day of his disappearance. The pants displayed here are of the same style Kyron was wearing, but those he was last seen in were darker. Otherwise these clothes represent identifying items in this search. We show these items to create additional awareness for the public seeing any of these items individually (a sock, a shirt or shoe) could be the tip that we need to locate Kyron.
Also, we conducted a road canvas today from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., in an effort to contact motorists who may have been on the road when Kyron was headed to school last Friday. This road canvas targeted commuters, route drivers, delivery drivers; anyone who may have seen anything suspicious that morning, and all information taken this morning has been forwarded to investigators.
We also want to remind you, due to the continued overwhelming response in support of this search operation, we have established a drop off point for the community to donate, nuts, packaged snacks, granola bars, bottled water and juices, and other non-perishable food items. The drop off point is at the Multnomah County Wapato Facility, located at 14355 North Bybee Lake Court in Portland, zip code 97203. The drop site will be available today for donated item drop-off from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. I have a map to the Wapato Facility here, and there is one posted on our media site.
We also continue to receive tips on our tip line at 503-261-2847, and on our website at
www.mcso.us .
Additionally, due to the sheer volume of requests, we have established a way for the community to make cash donations to support this search effort. Donations to the fund may be made at any Bank of America branch under the name "Kyron Horman Fund." This fund has been officially established by the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office, and is the only fund sponsored by the Sheriff's Office.
Our search efforts continue this morning. I can report that we currently have 211 searchers in the field, with more teams arriving and being deployed today. We have included additional horse teams, as well as the foot searches and canine assets already in the field. We now have teams not only from Oregon, but Washington and California, as well as continued resource support from local municipalities, county, state and federal agencies. Additionally, the Oregon National Guard was able to update our SAR coordinator with specific photo information regarding all areas searched by helicopter to date.
Finally, I'll say again if there is any further information that would cause community participation that would aid in search and rescue efforts we will bring that information forward. Support for this search continues to be overwhelming. We continue to seek any information you may have as this effort continues, and any information you may have should be reported immediately at our website or tip line reported earlier. On behalf of Sheriff Staton, I want to thank all volunteers, investigators, pilots, civilian support and all members of the media, as well as all participating agencies for your support and efforts in this search operation.
The weather is improving, our search opportunities are expanding, and our commitment to this search has not waivered. As this search grows longer, our resolve grows stronger to find Kyron and bring him home.
