PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) -- A request by prosecutors seeking an extra $196,000 for their investigation into the disappearance of 7-year-old Kyron Horman has been approved.
But Multnomah County Sheriff Dan Staton tabled a separate request for about $240,000 in additional funding for his office until October.
Staton and District Attorney Michael Schrunk went to Multnomah County commissioners on Thursday to talk about funding in their effort to find Kyron, last seen at Skyline School in Portland on June 4, when his stepmother took him to a science fair.
Staton also said the sheriff's office will return $500,000 in contingency funding approved last month and another $400,000 from the last budget after his agency was able to hold down costs.
