So far from press conference -
A call for volunteers to meeting at 10am
CCTV shows nothing significant
No sightings since he went missing
Police have spoke to his Father and other family members
Police are following several lines of enquiry
Have received tips on the number set up
 
Press conference:

Call the number if you think you have any knowledge at all about his whereabouts or disappearance.
Searchers turn up at West Pilton Gardens at 10am.

All lanes of inquiry remain open, we are pursuing many lanes of inquiry.
Stressing again to call if you have any information.
Many resources will be deployed, many of which will be visible to you.

Ask for continued vigilance, out buildings, garden, sheds, cars etc.
Search them AGAIN even if you searched them already.
No evidence of criminality, very open minded... help us with the search.
Check anywhere a wee 3 year old could find some shelter.

Looked at and looking at CCTV images.
Mum is getting lots of support from police, family and friends.
She is distraught, just wants her little boy home, as do his brothers and sisters.
150+ calls to the help line, no sightings.

HAVE spoken to his father, all of the family have been very very helpful.
No suspects, no one in custody, all lines of inquiry are open.


A reporter really asked if there had been issues that might cause this THREE year old to run away. :facepalm:

Remain optimistic he will be found safe, but getting more and more concerned. Deeply concerned.
Missing persons inquiry, no evidence of criminality. All lines of inquiry are being pursued.

"The fact that he may have wandered from the property by himself is one avenue of inquiry."

Search is spreading with the passage of time and will continue to do so.
Still not any clearer on the TIME he disappeared.
Last seen 9pm when Mother PUT HIM TO BED.


One of the lanes of inquiry is who saw him before the mother put him to bed.
She did not answer whether they had actually found anyone.
After that question was asked and answered the press conference was stopped.

Also a quote from this article by a neighbour Patricia Kilpatrick, 72, said: ‘He had come to take the kids on a Sunday but he couldn’t get them from inside the house.

‘She had gone out for the night and hadn’t come home so they were there in the house by themselves. Soon after that the police arrived to sort out everything.’

Also a quote from another neighbour in an article from The Telegraph: Amanda Spiers, 27, who lives nearby nearby, said she heard knocking at her door at 6.45am but did not answer the door because she lives alone with her children.

Another resident said he understood that police had taken fingerprints from the door in an effort to establish if it was Mikaeel.

Ms Spiers said: “There was no way I was answering the door. I looked through the spyhole and didn’t see anybody, but if it was the little boy I wouldn’t have seen him. I just hope it wasn’t him.”
 
It would have been "practically impossible" for three-year-old Mikaeel Kular to leave his home on his own, a missing persons expert has told Sky News.

John Moses, a former Royal Military Policeman and detective, said the evidence in the case pointed towards a "professional abduction".

Mr Moses, now a private missing person investigator, said that forensic officers would have established whether the boy's prints were on doors leading to the street.

Mr Moses said that the nature of the disappearance and fact that a body had not been found pointed to a possible abduction.

"An open mind is paramount. There's no body, so that indicates one more positive directive to actually suspect that this child has been professionally abducted," he said.

Mikaeel could not have left alone
 
17 January 2014

Anyone with information is urged to call 0300 200 0200 immediately

Mikaeel is 2ft tall and described as being of Asian appearance and of slim build.

He was possibly wearing a thigh length beige jacket with grey fur lined hood, black gloves with multi-coloured fingers, dark navy blue jogging bottoms, a grey pyjama top featuring an embroidered turquoise dinosaur on the chest and brown Clark shoes with two Velcro straps.

He has a faded scar on the bridge of his nose and a sore on the left hand side of his mouth
