The father also took the couple’s 18 month old daughter Kiara with him when he left. The restraining order he filed is sealed but the type of restraining order requires that he state evidence of past abuse or fear of future abuse. From here: [http://www.katu.com/news/local/97436564.html](http://www.katu.com/news/local/97436564.html) > [@](#): > > Kaine also filed for a restraining order under the Family Abuse Protection Act against his wife to keep her away from Kiara. > [@](#): > > According to the law, the petitioner must show abuse and that “there is an imminent danger of further abuse” and a “threat to the physical safety of the petitioner or the petitioner’s child.” I am guessing that the step mom will be arrested sometime in the next week. The father is probably aware of details about the investigation that implicate the step-mom, and he’s freaked out about what has happened to his son and in fear of what step-mom could do. ---

Then when I had read the whole chronology of how she became involved with the boy as an infant and only later married the dad,… Can you link to the article where you read this? I am curious about the strange relationships here. ---

Aaaaand the story just got [very weird](http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2010/07/landscaper_tells_police_terri.html). Explains the sudden departure and the restraining order. ---

[quote=“Johnny\_L.A, post:66, topic:542310”] NWCN said this morning that Kyron’s favourite foods are sushi, and macaroni and cheese. [ul][li]Typical/cute that a kid would like such disparate foods[/li][li]I don’t really care what his favourite foods were[/ul][/li][/QUOTE] Probably put out there so people will call the cops if they see a kid who looks vaguely like the missing one eating either of those foods in public. I have a feeling that since she couldn’t get the gardener to whack the husband, she hired somebody to kidnap the boy. The hubby was probably back to screwing his ex-wife and the present one found out about it. Revenge is a powerful motivator. ---

Wow. Have to ask my landscaper brother if any of his clients ever ask him to whack their husbands! But really, now…Northwest Sheltered Nook Road? Did someone just totally run out of ideas for road names? ---

This thing just gets weirder. The stepmother has been [carrying on an affair](http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2010/07/kyrons_stepmom_wont_contest_he.html)with her husband’s old high school buddy sincefour days after he moved out and filed a restraining order against her. She’s been sexting him and sending photos in states of undress and explicit sexual activity. Apparently she was doing the same thing with the gardener (except for having sex with him) she tried to hire to whack her husband. I’d say her focus is not on the missing child any more, if it ever was. This is one twisted sister. ---

Nine months later and little Kyron is still missing. Just read an article posted recently on another site where Kyron’s mother is now sure that he is dead and says Teri no doubt had something to do with his disappearance and that Teri hated Kyron and was capable of such deeds. I have always suspected Teri of being up to no good. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/why-is-this-missing-kid-garnering-so-much-attention/542310.md?page=3)
