About this listen
It’s one of the most shocking unsolved missing-child cases in the world. Where is Kyron Horman? Why hasn’t the woman who police suspect is responsible for his 2010 disappearance - Kyron’s stepmother - been charged? That the seven-year-old disappeared from his grade school got the attention of parents around the world. The twists of the case - adultery, sexting, murder-for-hire - keep the story in the media spotlight. New York Times best-selling author Rebecca Morris tells the minute-by-minute, day-by-day story of the long investigation, the search for Kyron, and his family’s heartache. Based on years of research and interviews with Kyron's family, Boy Missing also examines what recourse families have as they wait for a loved one to be found and challenges a common assumption in no-body cases: that prosecutors must wait until there is a confession or remains are found. No-body cases can be prosecuted successfully.
Author Jeff Guinn (Manson, The Road to Jonestown) calls Boy Missing “an important book and one readers will never forget”.

Rebecca Morris's audiobook, "Boy Missing: The Search For Horman," delves into the mysterious disappearance of Kyron Horman, a case that has left many unanswered questions. It's a challenging task to review a true crime book, especially one where closure remains elusive due to the lack of accountability for the crime.
The author, Morris, seems to have a strong suspicion towards Terry Horman, making it evident throughout the narrative. This perspective is likely influenced by various sources, including a crime weekly special that recommended the book, as well as Stephanie Harlow's endorsement. The reviewer appears convinced of Terry's guilt, citing reasons such as the strained relationship between Terry and Kyron, fueled by disturbing emails and comments expressing animosity.
One notable aspect of the book is its apparent focus on Desiree's viewpoint, Kyron's mother. While this personal perspective adds depth to the narrative, the reviewer suggests that a more balanced approach, including insights from law enforcement and possibly Kyron's father, Kane, could have provided a more comprehensive picture. The reviewer expresses concern that these perspectives may have been overshadowed, and the narrative may have veered towards sensationalism.
Criticism is also directed at the book's length, with the reviewer feeling that some details, particularly those related to other cases, were unnecessary and contributed to the book feeling drawn out. A suggestion is made that a shorter version of the book, approximately 70 pages less, could have achieved the same impact without the perceived padding.
Despite these criticisms, the reviewer acknowledges the commendable efforts of the Sherris department in the case. The quick response and their immediate call for help are highlighted as positive aspects. The reviewer also expresses hope that the limited release of case files and information is a strategic move aimed at building a stronger case against the suspected individual, in this case, Terry Horman.
In conclusion, "Boy Missing: The Search For Horman" receives a three-star rating for its gripping exploration of a perplexing true crime case. While the reviewer appreciates the author's dedication to Desiree's perspective, they advocate for a more balanced approach and a streamlined narrative for a more impactful reading experience.
