If you live in or around Portland you have almost certainly already heard the heart-breaking news (which has made it’s way onto front page of CNN) of a seven year-old boy who has been missing since Friday. Kryon Horman was last seen at school on Friday and as of this morning, there remains an all-out search underway for him in the hills around Forest Park.
Over the weekend I heard from Kim Blomgren, a parent from Kyron’s school, Skyline Elementary. She’s well aware that the hills around the school are popular biking areas and she’s hoping to enlist the eyes of people on bikes to find him:
“I know the cycling community is often in the NW Skyline Blvd, Newberry, Highway 30 and Forest Park area and wanted to see if it would be possible to circulate his face to as many people in the cycling community as possible that they might be on high alert for him when — especially when in these areas.”
As demonstrated by the many stolen bikes we’ve recovered, people traveling at bike pace tend to notice more of their surroundings. If you find yourself riding in these areas, keep a look out for Kyron.
He’s 3’8″ tall, 50 pounds, has blue eyes and brown hair. He was last seen wearing black cargo pants, white socks, and Skecher Tennis shoes with orange trim. He has on a black CSI t-shirt and wears glasses. If anyone has any information, they should please call Multnomah County Sheriff’s Tip Line at (503) 261-2847. Or, for urgent information 911.
