Raw: Complete interview with Desiree Young, Kyron Horman's mother

Описание: The mother of a missing Portland boy remains hopeful but understands the reality of an unsolved case.

June 4, 2010 marks 10 years since Kyron Horman's disappearance from Skyline School in Northwest Portland. The second grader has never been found and police have made no arrests in the case.

“I never thought we’d be here in 10 years,” said Desiree Young, Kyron’s mother. “It’s sad, disappointing and frustrating.”

Young, who lives in Medford, still gets regular updates from the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office. She said investigators have made great progress in recent years- but worries about the future after the recent retirement of the lead detective, several investigators and prosecutors originally assigned to the case.

“At 10 years, I think you are struggling uphill at that point,” said Young. “It’s a fear that I didn’t have before.”

Kyron’s mother believes one person can provide answers: Terri Horman, Kyron's stepmother. She brought him to Skyline School for a science fair on June 4, 2010.

She has denied any involvement in his disappearance.

“No matter how bad it is, just tell us and end this roller coaster we are on,” a tearful Young said.

Kyron’s mother, who is holding on to hope, admits her thinking about possible outcomes has changed over the years as troubling allegations emerged about the boy’s stepmother.

“I always want for Kyron to come home. I know that 10 years later, that is slimmer and slimmer as an option, but I know too that it happens for mothers. It happens,” Young said. “So, I still am going to hang on to that even though I know the reality of our situation and where we’re at today.”
