| Horton Hears Voices |
According to Horton's mother, the child went missing two days after being prescribed glasses to correct astigmatism. Also missing were three boxes of generic fruit snacks, his fathers 9mm pistol, and all of his parent's debit cards. Bank statements showed that multiple bus tickets to Council Bluffs were purchased using the stolen cards.
Also purchased: paint thinner, eight lbs of sugar, three boxes of Play-Doh, and 20 gallons of gasoline. Horton also appears to have purchased a trailer in Council Bluffs under the fake name "Tommy Streetwise."
“It seems he was attempting to start up a meth lab but his tiny, stupid child brain was too dumb to pull it off,” said Council Bluffs police chief Gary Walters. “These damn kids see it on TV and think its ‘radical’ and ‘gnarly’. I wish I could tell you this was the first child death by meth explosion I’d seen this year. This is a dangerous trend we're seeing.”
Last week, two teenagers were killed trying to reenact a scene from True Blood. Three months ago, a 10-year-old was arrested while solving a kidnapping case using the 'Dexter' method. Then 10-year-old was charged with murder, however he also received a medal for his "brave and disturbing" actions.
Horton's mother told police the last time she talked to her son was during a an episode of the Breaking Bad marathon where - using his outdoor voice - he stated, “It's all reality TV when I wear my glasses! Can I have tuna?”
When she returned from the kitchen with the sandwich, he was gone.

The explosion happened at approximately 2:13 PM. His body was barley recognizable through the Play-Doh and fruit snacks which fused to Horton's skin, a result of the extreme heat from the blast.
Hortons father only had these words to say, “We should have named him Trevor or Michael.”
