Kyron Horman's Stepmom Implicated by Facebook Sleuths

UPDATE: Kyron's father has separated from Moulton Horman. Kyron Horman is the adorable Oregon second-grader who went missing last Friday. His stepmom Terri Moulton Horman dropped the seven-year-old off at school that day and was one of the last people to see him alive. Now, thanks to some internet sleuthing, a handful of people with nothing better to do have deduced that Moulton Horman is behind Kyron's disappearance, all because of something she wrote on Facebook.

As Gawker reports, a handful of amateur gumshoes have pored over Mouton Horman's latest posts and declared her not appropriately distraught. A blog called Mom Logic points out that since her stepson's disappearance she's posted "trivial updates" about going to the gym and didn't change her profile picture to a photo of Kyron for six whole days.

Then Portland station KATU asked a former detective if Mouton Horman's behavior was out of the ordinary. "What I know from being an investigator and dealing with parents in tragic situations like this - homicides, kidnappings, stuff like that - they just really couldn't much function other than to sit and wait for us to call," he said.

And let's not forget the opinions of anonymous message board commenters: "Morning everyone! Anyone find it odd that Terri would post on FB that she's going to the gym? Maybe it's stress relief, don't think I could work out if my child was missing."

The only thing this witch hunt is missing is a stake and a lit torch.

UPDATE: Last night police changed the nature of the investigation into Kyron's disappearance from missing persons to criminal.

They're not saying why the change happened now. But if investigators do have new information regarding Kyron, it's hard to believe it would implicate anyone close to him, since both his parents and stepparents, including Moulton Horman, were at the press conference.

UPDATE: KATU reports that Kaine Horman, father of Kyron, has divorced his wife Terri, moved out of their house and filed a restraining order against her.

In a statement released Monday afternoon through the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office, Kyron's biological mother, Desiree Young, his stepfather, Tony Young, and Kaine Horman said they don't want to say too much to the media to keep the integrity of the investigation sound.

"We are in complete support of that investigation," the statement said. "Any actions taken by the investigation, or by us, are based on the best interests of Kyron and Kiara and comply with the law. Beyond this, we have no comment on the matter."

The statement was not signed by Terri Horman.
