Kyron Horman, a 7-year-old Portland, Ore., boy disappeared Friday, June 4, 2010, at Skyline Elementary School, shortly after leaving an early morning science fair, where he presented his project on tree frogs.
When Kyron did not return home on his school bus as scheduled at 3:30 p.m. Friday June 4, his family called to report that he had not returned home The Multnomah County Sherriff’s Office was contacted at approximately 4 p.m
“We definitely got a late start here,” sheriff’s office spokeswoman Lt. Mary Lindstrand said today. “The family didn’t know that he wasn’t at school, his teacher didn’t see him so we are feeling like we are behind the eight-ball here.”
Staff at the school said they never saw Kyron after the science fair, and he did not make it to his classroom. Multnomah County called in the Search and Rescue team to begin their search of the area surrounding the school. As the evening progressed, SearchOne Canine Inc. and officer from the Portland Police Department also joined the search
The sheriff’s office decided to upgrade the search to a Major Crimes Team investigation, which allowed it to deploy more resources, which included resources from Portland Police Bureau, Gresham Police Department, Fairview Police Department, Oregon State Patrol and the FBI.
Search and Rescue resources also expanded to include Mountain Rescue, Yamhill County Canine, along with additional members of the Multnomah County Search and Rescue team and the Portland police air unit
The search continued through the the night, covering more than 20 miles of roadway and two square miles. The search resumed today at approximately 7 a.m., and the sherriff’s office brought in more support, including search and rescue resources from Washington County Sherriff’s Office, Yamhill County Sherriff’s Office, Clark County Washington, Pacific NW Search and Rescue, and a National Guard helicopter
