Sorry for any redundancy to those who have seen the intense media coverage about this, but in case anyone who reads this blog doesn't already know, please be on the lookout for this little boy:
This picture is of him standing in front of his science project at Skyline Elementary here in Portland. His step-mom then left him walking toward his classroom, and somehow in the space of a few feet he disappeared last week. Police have yet to locate him.
The idea of this sweet, blue-eyed boy standing proudly in front of his awesome red-eyed tree frogs project and then moments later vanishing from his own school is so horrific that it's hard to process. I have a rock in the pit of my stomach for his parents and teacher.
This community has been really beautiful about showing its support and spreading the word. Watching the police captain get choked up when he spoke about wanting to bring the little guy home broke my heart.
I know probably only a dozen people still bother to read my rarely-updated blog, but I want to help. Please memorize the face in these photos and be on the lookout for Kyron Horman, and encourage others you know in the Pacific NW to do the same. If you're far away, light a candle and send some protective thoughts and love his way.
Kyron Horman is 3'8" and weighs about 50 pounds. He was wearing orange and black cargo pants, white socks, worn black Skecher tennis shoes with orange trim and a T-shirt with the "CSI" logo. Anyone with information on Kyron's whereabouts is urged to call the Multhnomah County Sheriff's Office tip line at (503)-261-2847.
