On the last day he was seen, the boy with the toothy smile, crewcut and glasses posed in front of his science project, three cardboard walls with a diorama about the red-eyed tree frog. Seven-year-old Kyron Horman grinned for a photo taken by his stepmother. She said he walked to his second-grade classroom at Skyline Elementary School in Portland and turned to wave at her. Then he vanished. That Kyron disappeared from his school, the place where children are presumed to be safest, got the attention of parents around the world. The twists of the story - adultery, sexting, murder-for-hire - kept the story in the spotlight.
On the tenth anniversary of Kyron's disappearance, New York Times bestselling author Rebecca Morris tells for the first time the story of the investigation and the toll the boy's disappearance took on his family, his community, and law enforcement. Based on three years of research and interviews with Kyron's mother, Desiree Young, and others, Morris also examines what recourse families have as they wait for a loved one to be found, and how no-body cases can be prosecuted.
