When People asked him whether he thought his daughter would be arrested, he replied with tears in his eyes: “It’s 50-50.”

Later that afternoon Approached at her home in Northwest Portland by The Oregonian, Terri Horman denied a report by KPTV 12/Fox TV news that her husband and daughter had moved out. "Everything's good," she said, giving a thumbs up. "We heard that rumor. It's just a rumor that needs to be squelched. Everything's fine."

But as Kyron's disappearance hits the four-week anniversary and costs mount for the cash-strapped county, Staton could not say whether an arrest or resolution is coming any time soon -- nor how long the office can afford to sustain the effort. "Ultimately, if we are unable to find Kyron, this could turn into a cold case," Staton acknowledged in an exclusive interview with The Oregonian.

Maxine Bernstein of The Oregonian reveals that law enforcement officials have been putting pressure on a small circle of friends of Terri Moulton Horman, including 43-year-old DeDe Spicher of Tualatin. Investigators searched Spicher's condominium in Tualatin last week, and have interviewed people who saw Spicher on June 4, the day Kyron disappeared. Spicher was a presence at the Horman house after Kyron's father, Kaine Horman, moved out and filed for divorce and a restraining order against Terri Horman in late June. She also was seen driving Terri Horman to and from her attorney's office in downtown Portland. Spicher is not the first person who has assisted Terri Horman in recent weeks to have been drawn into the investigation. Police also said Michael Cook, who was also seen at the Horman home after Kaine Horman moved out, has been interviewed by authorities. Cook was a high school friend of Kaine Horman who showed up at the couple's home after Kyron disappeared.
