PORTLAND, Ore. -- Searchers on Sunday continued to look for any clues in the disappearance of Kyron Horman five years ago, when he was just 7 years old.
"We are looking for anything that would give us a clue as to where he [Kyron] might be, looking for any of the clothing he might have been wearing," said Dennis Herring with the KlaasKIDS Foundation. "Anything like that could give us an indication of where he was."
One of the searchers on Saturday came across a set of bones in the woods near Sauvie Island, but that did not turn out to be a break in the case. A medical examiner determined the bones to be nonhuman, according to Sgt. Pete Simpson of Portland police.
Kyron disappeared from Skyline Elementary School in Northwest Portland on June 4, 2010.
This latest search has focused on areas traveled by Terri Horman the day her stepson vanished. Specially trained dogs, from as far away as Florida, were aiding in the effort, along with more than 60 volunteers.
Kyron's father Kaine and mother Desiree Young said they still believe Terri Horman is not telling investigators everything she knows. She was married to Kaine at the time of Kyron's disappearance and took him to school the day he vanished.
Terri has been a primary focus of the investigation into Kyron's disappearance, but police have never called her a suspect in the case.
A gofundme account was up to finance this latest search. As of Wednesday morning, $31,632 had been raised, toward the $50,000 goal.
Back in June, Lt. Steve Alexander said the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office had received more than 4,000 tips in the case.
He added that the investigation was "definitely" still active, with tips continuing to come from all over the world nearly every day.
The sheriff's office has offered a $50,000 reward for information leading to a resolution in the case. Anyone with information is asked to call the tip line at 503-261-2847.
People who want to volunteer for the September 5-6 search effort must have a valid ID, be 18 or older and sign a non-disclosure agreement. More details can be found on theJustice for Kyron Horman website run by Young's sister, Kelly Ramirez.
"It has been five years now and we still don't know where Kyron is," she said. "Our hearts were broken the day the unthinkable happened, a day there is no moving on from. Each day we live with the unknown, while silently praying today is the day he comes home to us. Our nightmare will not end until Kyron is home."
