Earlier this month, Oregon police said they are revisiting the unsolved 2010 disappearance of a 7-year-old boy.
Kyron Horman disappeared from Skyline Elementary School in Portland following a science fair in the morning. Reports from KOIN stated that his stepmother was the last person seen with him. She claimed to have dropped him off early for the fair and denied any involvement in his disappearance.
According to KPTV, Horman did not show up for class and was marked absent. His family became aware of his disappearance when he did not return home on the school bus as usual.
As reported by OregonLive, Horman’s father filed for divorce a month after Kyron went missing. Despite investigations into his stepmother, no arrests were ever made in connection with the case.
Multnomah County police said its department and Gresham police have been digitizing case files over the past year. Police said the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit will review the documents and evidence once that process is complete, according to KOIN.
“As we approach the 15th anniversary of Kyron Horman’s disappearance, I want to reaffirm my continued commitment to this case,” Multnomah County District Attorney Nathan Vasquez said, per KOIN. “My office has begun a thorough and methodical review of the case with fresh eyes, and we look forward to receiving further analysis from the Sheriff’s Office and the FBI. Our focus remains where it has always belonged — on Kyron and his family.”
