Kyron Horman Missing: No Evidence of Abduction, Say Police

PORTLAND, Ore. (CBS/KOIN) Seven days have passed since Kyron Horman did not return home from school, and, despite searches that have scoured the area surrounding Skyline Elementary School where Kyron was last seen, there is still no sign of the missing 7-year-old.

Police have also not found evidence pointing to the idea that the Oregon second-grader was abducted, reports CNN.

Multnomah County Sheriff Dan Staton told CNN, "The child is still characterized as a missing child. There's just no indication on anything we've got at this point that it was an abduction."

Kyron's stepmother attended the school science fair with Kyron, and she last saw him walking down the hallway in the direction of his classroom around 8:45 a.m. on June 4.  At approximately 3:45 p.m., Kyron's stepmother called 911, when Kyron did not return home on his school bus. 

As the search continues, Stanton is concerned that time is running out. "We are still within our threshold limits to find this child alive, and we are making every effort to continue that," said Stanton to CNN.

According to CNN, Stanton indicated that search parties have extended past the two-and-a-half mile radius of Skyline Elementary School. Search crews are continuing to scour wells, and water run-offs in the surrounding area, while utilizing canine units and air support in hopes of finding the missing boy.

Kyron's family released a statement Wednesday encouraging the public to continue its efforts in looking for their son.

"Please search your properties, your cars, your outbuildings, your sheds," said the family. "Also check with your neighbors and friends who may be on vacation or may need assistance to search their property."

"There are a lot of resources out there to help. Please don't stop."

Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Kyron Horman is asked to call the Multnomah County Sheriff's tip line at 503-261-2847.
