Stepmom Suspected by her Family in Kyron Horman Disappearance May Have Had Postpartum Depression

The parents of a missing Oregon boy have recently expressed their belief that his stepmother's postpartum depression could have played a role in his disappearance. Kyron Horman has been missing since June 4th, and his stepmother, Terri Horman, is the last person known to have been with him on that day. Now the 7-year-old's father has revealed that his wife suffered from postpartum depression following the birth of her daughter, Kiara, 19 months ago. In a recent interview, Kaine Horman said that his wife's emotional state "was just more erratic" after the baby was born.

Terri Moulton Horman has been under intense suspicion by both her husband and the child's biological mother, Desiree Young, after failing two polygraph tests and refusing to cooperate with the investigation any further. Earlier this week things grew even more tense when a landscaper who worked for the family came forward to say that six months ago, Terri Horman offered him a large sum of money to kill her husband. Following this news, Kaine Horman immediately filed for a divorce as well as a restraining order against his wife. He has openly told the court that he feels Kyron's stepmother is responsible for the little boy's disappearance.
