Reward In Kyron Horman Case Now $50,000; Missing Boy’s Mother: ‘Never Give Up Hope’
PORTLAND, Ore. — The reward in the case of missing 7-year-old Kyron Horman was increased Tuesday to $50,000 thanks to an anonymous donor, deputies said.
Kyron has not been seen since a school science fair June 4 at Skyline School. His disappearance sparked the largest search in state history and a $25,000 reward for information. That reward is set to increase at 3 p.m. Tuesday.
The missing boy’s birth parents, Desiree Young and Kaine Horman, attended a news conference with Chief Deputy Tim Moore and Capt. Monte Reiser with the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office, the lead investigative agency in the case. Young’s husband, Tony Young, was also in attendance.
Deputies didn’t reveal details about the investigation, but said about 11,000 hours have been committed to the investigation and 3,500 leads have been developed from thousands of tips.
“We continue to ask the community to look for Kyron and continue to provide tips,” Moore said. “I understand that the public continues to be concerned for Kyron and curious about details of this case. It’s a natural tendency for us all to care about the welfare of a small child.”
