Acting on what police call "intelligence information," about four dozen volunteers, deputies and other search-and-rescue workers were sifting through several forested areas mostly around logging roads and trails, according to CBS affiliate KOIN.

Assisting them were several cadaver-sniffing dogs and a member of the Multnomah County Coroner's Office.

Kyron disappeared from Skyline School last June 4. He was reportedly last seen by his step-mother, Terri Moulton Horman, who told police she left him that morning at a school science fair. She later produced a picture of him at that fair, and posted it on her Facebook page.

Terri Horman later became a person of interest, but not a suspect, in the case, though Kyron's biological mother, Desiree Young, has stated that much of the investigation focused on Terri.

Terri Horman and Kyron's father, Kaine Horman, are engaged in a contentious divorce battle which has brought some of the details of the case and their personal lives and backgrounds into the public spotlight, and into the voluminous investigative files on the case.

If Sunday's search turned up anything meaningful, Multnomah County deputies weren't talking about it. Sheriff Dan Staton is expected to report to the County Commissioners to talk about the search effort. As of Nov. 29, the county had spent $1.4 million in the search for Kyron Horman.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to contact the Tip Line at 503-261-2847.
