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. We called out our [criminal-scene investigation] investigators, they showed up and looked at the items," the Bellevue Police Department's Carla Iafrate told KOMO-TV.
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."
The extensive search in heavily wooded Watershed Park began just hours after Bellevue police released a series of photos showing Sky's mother, Julia Biryukova, 30, of Redmond and her missing son.
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."
I really hope that's the case Rougelatete.
thanks Ppj! for coming out! it was a pleasure to meet you! please emial me the photos you took. jennifer.sas_family@yahoo.com
we will add them to the file we send to LE.
really appreciate it!
as usual, things are starting to stir! this could be good news! wish i could say more... thanks everyone! chin up!!! the heat is on!
It's completely shocking to me that none of JB's family attended the balloon release. Not SB. Not NB. No one. Aren't they Sky's family, too?! Their nephew/grandson is missing and they can't be bothered to come to a vigil in support of finding him?! Ridiculous. I mean, it's not unbelievable -- I know they'd sooner hide in a hole than have to face the media or be perceived as leaving JB's side. But, we're talking about a missing 2 year-old boy and they're too concerned with other self-serving factors to show their support in keeping his story alive.
I was reading an article on the Lindsey Baum case and LE in that case seized various articles of evidence from a male suspect in her disappearance. These items were seized in October and were sent in for forensic testing. The list includes some items of particular interest and they may indeed yield forensic evidence. But, the results aren't in yet -- and it's mid/late-February.
This got me thinking about the last time we heard from LE in Sky's case. IIRC, it was when they announced they found several "items of interest" at Watershed Park in Kirkland (this announcement was on Monday, November 21st -- the search itself was conducted on Saturday and Sunday the 19th and 20th). LE had just released those updated surveillance photos of Julia "in the days leading up to Sky's disappearance" on Friday, November 18th. According to articles from that time period, LE received several credible and helpful tips (either sometime Friday or early Saturday morning) which led to the search at Watershed Park the day after those photos were posted. Prior to publishing those photos, LE had not really received any tips that panned out. It sounds like someone saw a frazzled JB in or near Watershed Park and called in the tip....and that it may have amounted to something in the search.
I suspect those items really are of interest and they've been sent to a lab for forensic testing. LE probably does not want to comment on the case until the data comes back on those items because they're hoping either a) they'll have enough to arrest JB based on forensic testing or b) they'll have enough to get her talking once confronted with evidence.
After seeing the Lindsey Baum article, it's clear how long these things can take -- items in that case were seized at least a month before items in Sky's case and the Baum items haven't even been fully processed yet. This gives me renewed hope that LE is on to something. They were reaching out to the public and the media on a very frequent basis prior to the Watershed Park search and then they clammed up. It makes me think they know they're onto something and don't believe they need the public's help as much as they used to.
I'm crossing my fingers that this is the case....

"You're on the way to the hospital, why would you leave your kid in the car? It certainly is suspicious," Johnson said. He said an email sent by Biryukova to a friend Sunday morning is the only evidence police have that Sky was ill.
An FBI agent with expertise interviewing children has spoken to M****, and the little girl said her brother Sky was in the car, wrapped in a blanket, on Sunday, "which wasn't what we expected to hear," Johnson said.
Freitas challenged the police characterization of Biryukova and said the mother has helped police in every way possible.
"She gave them her home, car, computer, cellphone. She talked to them for hours. What else is she supposed to do?" Freitas said Wednesday.
Stull said CPS will run background checks on Metalwala's family members to see if placement with a relative is suitable. Stull said that none of Biryukova's relatives have offered to take M****.
now now, im not bossy, just need to keep on SM to keep things going. hes hit a point of depression and i understand but we need to keep Sky in the media! have to keep his chin up and looking forward!
Bless his heart. I can't imagine going through what he is going throw. He must have the patience of a saint because if it were me, I'd be banging on Julia's door 24 hours a day, 7 days a week until she gave me the information I needed to find Sky.
Please let him know that we are all thinking of him and praying for him, M, and Sky. Most days I sit camped out on this thread just waiting and when I'm off doing other things, Sky is never far from my thoughts.
Hang in there Solomon! You have many people rooting for all of you!!
re:BBM~~If that is true, I know at least a dozen sleuthers who would be happy to go looking for every single picture of the vigil that is out there to find!I can wait! I really hope LE has found something and that their silence is a positive sign since when they were previously so vocal, it was not necessarily because they had a lot to work with -- it was because they were putting out feelers for more information.
I wonder if LE needs those photos because JB sent someone to the vigil or they think someone who attended might know something. Hmmmm.....
I'm patiently waiting.
Can you tell I'm back from Barcelona?! First item on the agenda: feverishly post about Sky and research what I can, lol! Second item: unpack.
