Sky Metalwala, 2 yrs old MISSING November 6, 2011 Bellevue, WA

Janet, 

Who knows, it is possible that she was just looking for a green card.

Look on her Flicke account

http://www.flickr.com/photos/metalwala/

She was uploading photos today. 

She also used the service of a Naturopathic doctor instead of a pediatrician to take her daughter to in the pictures entitled Maile Grace's 1st doctor appointment.  http://childhomeopathy.com/physicians&staff.html

I don't know if that makes her responsible for Sky's disappearance but it does make her a strange egg.

It looks as though he was the one looking for a green card!

The couple had been together for 14 years. He was 21 and she was a high school sophomore when they began dating, according to one of her court declarations. In another declaration, her mother, Nadia Biryukova, wrote that they married in 2003 in her kitchen just before he was to be deported to Pakistan.

I think this is a case of the mother hiding the male child from the father.

Hi Monkeys.  Unfortunately this one is right in my backyard.  Actually, yesterday I went to market at Costco (Issaquah) and SM was there with a group putting together fliers and he conducted a news interview.  It was heartbreaking...He just looked like a totally broken man.  Also, given their financial situation, I'm surprised JB can afford to live in her apartment complex-very nice and prime location. Makes me wonder if she has had some success with her website endeavors...

I wonder if that is the same Costco that is shown in some of the pictures in JB's Flickr acct? 

So sad; I hope there is some resolution soon.

Hi MGO, Thanks for the local insight!  I thought too that the apartment looked upscale. The complex looks like it would have video surveillance. Have you heard if it did or know if that is something that is commonplace there? Is it a gated complex?

Costco trip?

[mgoblue]

Hi Monkeys. Regarding the two questions above. While it may be the Issaquah Costco, I'm guessing that it's more apt to be the Kirkland Costco-since she lives in Redmond. The apartment complex is not gated, but here is a link to the complex:

I was going to say that it's eerie how quiet it has been, but I just heard that there should be an LE update at 3:30 today.  Keeping my fingers crossed.  Maybe she's finally talking??

New photos of Sky Metalwala, mother may trigger more tips

Updated today at 4:42 PM

BELLEVUE, Wash. -- More photos of a missing 2-year-old Bellevue boy and his mother were released by authorities and appeared online Friday.
Bellevue Police compiled about a dozen recent photos of Sky Metalwala and Julia Biryukova from the days leading up to Sky's disappearance.

Investigators said they hope the new pictures will help people who may have seen the family remember more specific details.

Images of Sky show him with a more recent hairstyle. Biryukova is shown in surveillance photos from an unknown store.

The images of Biryukova show her with darker hair, as well as a gray sweatsuit that detectives believe she may have been wearing on Sunday, November 6, when Sky was last seen.

"This is the woman that was out there Sunday morning with her child," said Major Mike Johnson with the Bellevue Police Department, gesturing toward a storyboard of photos. "She does look considerably different [than on social media sites]."

Johnson said Biryukova has still not been interviewed by police since Sky was first reported missing.

"We have continued to reach out and ask for information from Sky's mother, as recently as today and through her attorney," said Johnson. "But unfortunately we have yet to get any information."

When asked whether detectives continue to pursue the option of arresting Biryukova, Johnson said the primary concern remains finding Sky but that, "[his] statement stands about her story falling apart."

Additionally, 35 photos of Sky and his sister were added to  Biryukova's Flickr account. The photos appear to have been taken earlier this year.

we really don't know the last time that Sky was seen by another person do we? he could have been 'missing' longer than the mother is saying. The father saw the little daughter at the foster home that she is staying in the other day and he said that she wanted to go home with him but was happy where she was at..bless her heart..at least she can play and eat a snack in peace without being yelled at by her clean freak mother!
I agree with the poster who said that everyone in this child's life failed him by not getting him away from this egg donor..the dad said that mom had a dream of strangling Sky? and he was left with her? the dad has not seen the kids in months is that correct???? what about his parents, the kids grand parents??? what about her psychiatrist ? wouldn't he be obligated to report this mother if she revealed rash behavior?
I am so pizzed off cause I do not think that this little boy is still with us thanks to his so called mother...Has the little girl been questioned? what does she know? plenty I bet.

oh, as a grammy, I never take my stroller out of my car and neither do my daughters in law..ya never know when you might need it..

Cookie,  I noticed in the pictures on JB's Flckr account that she had a very nice double stroller that would hold both her son and daughter.

apparently she didn't have it with her in her car when Sky disappeared otherwise she could have put BOTH children in the stroller and taken them with her...This woman is lying through her teeth that she left this little boy in the car...

Other additional pictures include surveillance photos of Sky's mother, Julia Biryukova, 30.

She is shown standing alone in a store, wearing the same gray sweat suit she wore on Nov. 6 when she told police that she left Sky Metalwala in her stalled, unlocked car for an hour while she walked a mile to buy fuel at a gas station.

Police said Friday that they've checked all but a dozen of the roughly 1,200 tips that residents called in about the case but none have panned out.

Search for missing boy expands to Kirkland, other sites

http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Sky-metalwala-Search-for-missing-boy-expands-to-Kirkland-other-sites-134184218.html

BELLEVUE, Wash. - Police widened their search for a missing 2-year-old boy Saturday, combing through a heavily wooded Kirkland park and other areas for the first time since the investigation began.

The widened searches are based on information gleaned from tips gathered since Friday, as police encouraged the public to phone in with any information that might help in the search for Sky Metalwala, 2, of Redmond.

There was no immediate word on whether the new searches had turned up any valuable evidence or information.

One of the largest searches Saturday was at Watershed Park in Kirkland. Officers closed down the park and set up a command post is at a school on NE 53rd Street as searchers combed through the wooded area for several hours.

Carla Iafrate of the Bellevue police said Watershed Park was one of several areas that were searched Saturday, based on tips received after police released more photos of Sky and his mother, Julia Biryukova, 30, of Redmond.

'Items of interest' found in search for missing toddler

http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Items-of-interest-found-in-search-for-missing-toddler-134205103.html

KIRKLAND, Wash. - Police searching for a missing toddler found several items of interest Saturday while combing through a Kirkland park for evidence - but it's not yet clear if those items are related to the case, officials said.

Crime scene investigators uncovered several items that are being sent in for analysis but warn there are still no signs of missing 2-year-old Sky Metalwala, whose mother claims he disappeared while she walked to get gas for her car.

The items of interest were found Saturday during a search of Watershed Park in Kirkland - and one discovery was important enough to call in a forensics team.

"They found something of interest," said Carla Iafrate of the Bellevue Police Department. "We called out our CSI investigators, they showed up and looked at the items."

The search teams used rakes and shovels - a potentially grim indicator of what crews were doing in their search for Sky.

"I think that's just standard equipment for any search and rescue," said Iafrate. "There's a lot of leaves, it's pretty wet and damp. There's a lot of rabbit burrows, so the land is soft back there."

Teams closed the park to the public and worked through the day and into the night - then called in crime scene specialists when they stumbled upon possible evidence in the case.

Police searching for missing toddler Sky Metalwala have found what they describe as 'something of interest' in the case.

The items were found on Saturday at Watershed Park in Kirkland, over two weeks after the Washington boy was reported missing after being left alone in his mother's broken down car.

Investigators would not release further details about what items were found but said they were enough for police to call in a forensics team after an overnight search the heavily wooded area. ::snipping2::

Sky's mom says she doesn't know where he is
BY KOMO-TV AND ABC NEWS
Published 08:12 a.m., Monday, November 21, 2011

For the first time since Sky Metalwala's disappearance two weeks ago, his mother is apparently sharing her side of the story through a series of e-mail exchanges with an ABC News  reporter.
Correspondent Neal Karlinsky says he's exchanged several emails with Julia Biryukova this weekend through an email address that Biryukova's family says belongs to her.
 ::snipping2::
 ::snipping2::
The first e-mail was in response to Sky's father, Solomon Metalwala, and his allegations that Biryukova is responsible for Sky's disappearance.

"My former husband is a sadistic Muslim Pakistani," Biryukova wrote to Karlinksky. "No one has any idea. This is all too difficult."

Solomon Metalwala is Pakistani, but not Muslim. He and Biryukova have been involved in a bitter divorce and custody fight.

When Karlinksy asked for more details about Sky's disappearance, she replied: "My attorney has forbid me from speaking about the ongoing investigation. My former husband's allegations are without merit. Solomon is deceptive."

Karlinksy then asked, "Julia, please, do you know where Sky is?"
She replied, "No."

Karlinsky's next e-mail asked her if she thought her husband had anything to do with Sky's disappearance, and she replied "yes."

When Karlinksy steered the conversation back to what might bring Sky home, she replied "Prayers. Faith. I'm praying to Jesus on my knees night and day for my Sky," she wrote, signing it, "Kindly, Julia."

Karlinksy tried one more time to ask Biryukova what really happened the day Sky went missing, since police have discounted her original story, but he never received a reply.
