PORTLAND, Ore. (CBS/KOIN/AP) As police continue to search for Kyron Horman, the father of the missing 7-year-old has filed court papers containing new accusations against Kyron's stepmother, the last person known to have seen him alive before he vanished early last month after attending a science fair at his Portland-area school.

Kaine Horman claims that Terri Horman began a sexual relationship with a childhood friend of his during the investigation of Kyron's disappearance, and attempted to kidnap their 20-month-old daughter, Kiara, according to CBS News' "The Early Show."
"Even if authorities suspect but can't prove Terri Horman was involved in Kyron's disappearance," Multnomah County Sheriff's Office Capt. Bruce McCain told the morning show, "the next-best-thing is to arrest and charge her with a separate, unrelated crime."
The latest complaint dates back to June 26, three weeks after Kyron vanished.
That day, Kaine Horman left his home when investigators informed him that Terri Horman had allegedly tried to hire a landscaper to kill him.
Two days later, Kaine Horman asserts, as he was about to file a restraining order, Terri tried to kidnap Kiara.
Then, Kaine Horman claims, on June 30, Terri Horman began an intimate relationship with Michael Cook and shared sealed legal information on the Kyron probe with Cook.
Last Thursday, Kaine Horman and Kyron's mother, Desiree Young, went public with their suspicion that Terri Horman was involved in Kyron's disappearance, and revealed that Terri had failed two polygraph tests.
Police haven't officially named Terri Horman a suspect or person of interest.
Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Kyron Horman is asked to call the Multnomah County Sheriff's tip line at 503-261-2847.
