Multnomah County authorities are asking that Skyline School parents, teachers, staff and anyone else who was at the school the day Kyron Horman was last seen return to the school Sunday with completed questionnaires about that day.
A police officer will be at Skyline School between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. to accept the questionnaires.
Investigators on Friday released thequestionnaires and fliers with photographs of Kyron; his stepmother, Terri Moulton Horman; and a white pickup similar to one she drives. They hope the images jog the memories of those who may have seen Kyron and his stepmother June 4, the day the 7-year-old disappeared.
"The purpose of this is to get information that they might not have thought about reporting before," said Lt. Mary Lindstrand, a Multnomah County sheriff's spokeswoman.
Kyron's stepmother has told authorities the last time she saw the boy was 8:45 a.m. June 4; in the questionnaire, authorities ask the Skyline community to recall what happened between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. that day.
Lindstrand said Saturday that she could not recall a major criminal investigation in which such questionnaires were used. She also did not know whether the release of Kyron's photograph and those of his stepmother generated new tips or leads for investigators.
She did say investigators "are not in a position to name any suspects at this time or persons of interest."
Clint Van Zandt, a former FBI profiler and Virginia-based security consultant, said such questionnaires have been used in other missing-persons cases nationally. He said they often are used to "clarify the whereabouts of people during critical times in the disappearance of a child."
