Another day closer sweetheart. We are not giving up on you baby boy. Sending you love and light.

[ChelaCat]

Just found this on my daily "google" for news about Sky:

Bellevue Police say his mother, Julia Biryukova, is still not talking with detectives, and has declined a request to be interviewed about the incident.

“To me, she’s acting like a coward, and hiding away,” said the boy’s father, Solomon Metalwala on Wednesday night. Solomon now has full custody of Miele, who was involved in a bitter divorce and custody fight.

[cocomod]

Finally an article! Unfortunately, it is lacking in any real news. I can't believe it has been 6 months. Where are you Sky?

[wenwe4]

"Biryukova, who has been active online, has not been spotted in public since. It’s believed she has been staying with friends and indoors for long periods of time."

Article asking why she has not been named a person of interest or suspect in this case . . .

Also in the article:

The event, dubbed “A Night for Sky” at Heritage Park in Kirkland will run Sunday from 8-9pm and include worship, prayer, a sharing of scriptures, and ideas on how to revitalize the search for Sky.

Sky Crew I will be thinking, praying, and hoping for Sky on Sunday night. I wish that I could attend the Night for Sky; but I will do my own Night for Sky here in Utah.

[fearless]

Sunday for you!!!!!!!!!!!
Baby boy we love you!!!!!!!!

[fearless]

Thanks Chealssea!

This is one of six articles about this "soon going cold case" of our Sky!

[ChelaCat]

Dear Sky Crew,

I will definitely be at the "A Night for Sky" on Sunday. I wouldn't miss it for anything. Should I carry a "Sky Crew" poster? Any other Websleuther's going to be there?

I'm so glad to see some activity on this case in the media. What's more, I have word from Carla Iafrate, Bellevue Police Department. I couldn't stand another day of wondering what was happening on this case so I wrote to them a couple of days ago. And while I didn't get an update, I got Carla's assurance this is still a very active case.

Here is what I wrote:

"Dear Bellevue Police Department:

Would it be possible to get an update on the Sky Metalwala case? If not an update, some reassurance this case is still actively being investigated?

I participate in an on-line community of citizens concerned about this young child (Websleuths.com). In fact, one of our participants recently sent your Department a number of potential leads that came from a review our Sky Metalwala threads (discussions) about the case. We are currently on Thread #18--there's been a lot of discussion!

I realize you probably can't give any, or much information, but I thought it was worth a try to inquire. Sky is on our minds daily. It is difficult to go so long without hearing any updates from your Department.

Thank you for the work you are doing."

Here is what I got back:

"Thank you for your email and your concern for missing Sky Metalwala. Detectives are working this still very active open missing child case. At this time there are no reportable updates on the case to share with the public or media. We all hope for his safe return.

Best Regards,

Officer Carla Iafrate, P-335
Bellevue Police Department"

Interesting how she said, "no REPORTABLE updates." Maybe there are updates that simply can't be shared in order to maintain the integrity of the case.

I have hope today, Sky Crew! And dear Sky, one more day closer to finding you precious boy!

Unfortunately I can't be there but I will be in spirit with all my love for children and specially for Sky.

Your letter is perfect! Thanks!

Right back to the top, little man!!

Praying that you come home safe and soon!

[Rougelatete]

I am sorry that I have been gone for a while -- life took over. But, I'm here now, sending prayers for Sky. I am hopeful, after LE's response to ChelaCat, that they are still actively working on little man's case and that they have information that is brewing behind the scenes. I suspect things were found out at Watershed Park and that they are putting together a case against JB, likely working closely with those who used to be close to her (and may still be feigning allegiance to her in the interest of bringing Sky home). If I were Julia, I'd watch out. The walls are closing in....

[wenwe4]

Thinking of Sky and SM and MM tonight. . . . I am happy to hear that LE still working this as an active case. I look forward to hearing about a Night for Sky . . . wish I could be there but I will be there is spirit. A nearly full moon (Super Moon tonight) will help shine light on this case and bring closure for everyone. We need to have answers soon and Solomon needs to have peace in his life. Sky Crew remains hopeful and we will never give up!

[ChelaCat]

Welcome back Rougelatete It could be my eternal optimism, but I feel momentum and something moving forward in the search for Sky. Sunday will bring much needed attention back to the case.

Sky baby, another day closer to finding you. We love you!

Former mother of 2 children, one who I refuse to tell anyone where he is and the other in permanent custody of her father because I refused to show up in court after my manipulative attempts to frame him and blame him failed.

I enjoy dodging the truth, avoiding answering questions and arranging beds perfectly."

There! That looks better. I'd like it to end with "currently incarcerated in a women's prison" but maybe that update will come soon.

I love this post!!!!!!!!!!

"Thank you for your email and your concern for missing Sky Metalwala. Detectives are working this still very active open missing child case. At this time there are no reportable updates on the case to share with the public or media. We all hope for his safe return.

Maybe it's just wishful thinking, but reading between the lines of Officer Iafrate's response I see this:

"very active open case" -- she didn't just say that it remains an open case, or even that it's an active open case; she said it's a VERY active open case. That additional qualifier of "very," to me, conveys how hard they are working on Sky's case and that she is adamant his case is no where near the realm of the dustbins.

"concern for missing Sky Metalwala" and "We all hope for his safe return" -- it's a brief response she sent to ChelaCat, but in that response, she TWICE conveyed care and concern for Sky. I get the sense that Officer Iafrate is heavily invested in this case and that it affected her.

"no reportable updates" -- again, there's a qualifier of "reportable." She could have said "At this time there are no updates" but she qualified it with "reportable," which to me indicates that there have been updates....LE just can't share them at this time in the interest of the investigation.

Many thanks to ChelaCat for getting her hands on this little nugget of hope! Sky, we will NEVER give up on you. Mother's Day is just around the corner and, I believe, you've got lots of surrogate mothers on this site sending you the love and comfort you didn't get from your birth mom.

[wenwe4]

Interesting that an email this site is quoting is saying the exact same wording . . .

http://mynorthwest.com/108/671650/Fa...x-months-later

Meanwhile, the Bellevue Police Department said Thursday that the Metalwala case is still a "very active open missing child case."

"We all hope for his safe return," Police Spokeswoman Carla Iafrate said via email."

also states JB remains in Redmond and no evidence Sky has gone to the Ukraine

link includes audio of recent interview w/Clay Terry on Ron & Don show

[SurfieTX]

Also from the link:

Solomon Metalwala and Julia Biryukova have divorced and Solomon has full custody of Sky's 5-year-old sister, M. Terry said M is thriving in her new environment. She's in school, she's eating well, and counselors continue to work with her.

"We're hoping like Elizabeth Smart's younger sister...where they start to remember things and draw pictures. They're kind of hoping that this will happen with M, but it has not happened yet," said Terry.

I'm sure they (BPD) have a standard 'acceptable' response they can share with those inquiring. Like Rouge, I'm heartened by the wording, even if reading between the lines.

Seems there are more updates from Clay Terry in the clip from the Ron and Don show, definitely worth a listen. She is still living in Redmond, same apartment? Hmmm... Little Maile is eating and catching up on her development, yay for that. It was clear to me Clay had more information to share about LE and a possible arrest, but wasn't allowed to say.

Will be going to event tomorrow evening. If anyone has any particular ideas they would like me to share about how to reinvigorate this case let me know.

I wouldn't miss this event for anything.

(PS: Off topic, Elizabeth Smart is presenting at a conference I'm going to in Seattle next week--should be very interesting!)

[Bree0372]

Sky up home you are looking up at the Super Moon tonight! Such a beautiful sight.

My heart is so heavy knowing you are out there somewhere just wanting to come home to your daddy and MM. We'll never give up on you, little man!!!!

When will mothers/fathers come to terms with the fact that discarding their children is NEVER the answer? There are far too many people, myself included, that would love to be a parent (or a parent to more children).

[rosemary]

So sad, where are you little Sky? Im glad Solomon was able to obtain custody of Maile, I knew all along he wasnt the monster that Julia portrayed him to be. Now if only Sky can be found, he deserves to go home to his family, to the people who love him and care for him. Julia may be the egg donor, but I will never consider her to be the mother to those two beautiful children. I hope she ends up in jail, where she truly belongs.

Guess I was more tired than I thought last night. "Sky up home"??? That should have been "Sky I hope". Sorry for posting when I'm so tired.
