Kyron Horman Update / David Durham Connection? (Part 3)

Well, I must say, first off, thank you for all your comments.  And, there appears to be a resolution to my initial question, although agreed said resolution may not be that important.  However, a reader on the East Coast made a copy of the blog thread to which some of you have referred.  She has agreed to send it to me.  Shortly after that publication, it was pulled as an unsubstantiated rumor.

As I have said previously, one of the emails I received was from an individual who claimed first hand knowledge.  I would like to say to that individual that you need to come forward and furnish your information to law enforcement.  I know you expressed concern about your own safety.  I will admit that dirty cops do exist; but, thankfully, in Oregon they are a rarity.  Contact a law enforcement agency that you trust.  I might suggest the Oregon State Police.  At one point, I would have suggested the FBI, but quite frankly I now feel they would dismiss you out of hand.  If you want to send more detailed information to me, I will make sure that it goes to a proper person in a proper agency.  If you have the doctor’s name, which you seem to indicate, that would tend to prove your credibility.  Finally, if you’ve started a rumor just to see how far it would go, then shame on you.

For my other readers, it was not my intention to perpetuate a false rumor.  I did make efforts to research the reported ‘hunting trip’ story prior to my blog posting.  After that failed, I went to my next best source, my readers; many of whom follow these various cases more closely than I do.

I think we all have to admit that there are some strange correlations between Kyron Horman’s disappearance and the David Durham situation.  Any reports, no matter how fanciful, are not easily dismissed.  Practically anything is on the table at this point.  As is said, sometimes life can be stranger than fiction.

Based on my experiences, I still find it incredible that David Durham was able to escape after shooting Dodds.  To my mind, there are but two possibilities:  Durham is dead somewhere and his body has not yet been found; or someone helped him to evade capture.  I believe it is the second of the two.
