Father of missing Sky Metalwala is hopeful six months later
Sunday marks the six-month anniversary of Sky Metalwala's disappearance.
The 2-year-old vanished from Bellevue last November when his mother, Julia Biryukova, says she left him alone in her car while she walked to get gas. Police later determined there were about two gallons of gas still left in the car.

The boy's father, Solomon Metalwala, is still holding on to hope that he's alive.

Lawyer for Sky Metalwala’s father says it’s time mother’s family came forward
An attorney representing the father of missing toddler Sky Metalwala said at a news conference Wednesday that it was time that the family of the boy’s mother came forward.
Clay Terry, the lawyer for Sky’s father, Solomon Metalwala, said he wanted to release what he called “interesting information” but because the investigation was ongoing, police preferred he not release any sensitive details.

Sky Metalwala Still Missing One Year Later
Redmond restaurant, his soft voice wavering, “Sky, wherever he is, he’s not home…”

It has been nearly one year since police declared his 2-year-old son, Sky Metalwala, missing. The boy’s mother, Julia Biryukova, told police her car ran out of gas and she left Sky in the car while she, and Sky’s sister, went to get help. She told police when she returned, Sky was gone.

“I think her story is a bunch of crap,” says Solomon. “I think the whole story about her running out of gas is a bunch of baloney.”

 

[princesspjs]

Metalwala is planning a public vigil for his son, on Saturday, November 10 at 4 p.m. at the Redmond Downtown Central Park at 16119 Redmond Way.

Police exhaust leads on child who went missing two years ago

The Bellevue Police Department says it has existed all leads in its search for Sky Metalwala, a 2-year-old boy who went missing in the city Nov. 6, 2011, though detectives remain hopeful he may one day be found.

Not a day goes by that Solomon Metalwala doesn't think or talk about his son, Sky, who disappeared two years ago this week.
"To me it's like it happened yesterday. I live it every day."

On Sky Metalwala’s 5th birthday, his father pleads with parents to take steps to protect kids

Today, September 2nd, is Sky Metalwala’s 5th birthday.

Metalwala went missing in 2011 at just two years old and has not been seen since. His mother told officers she left him in the car when she ran out of gas. When she came back from the gas station, she says he was gone.

“The pain is there every day,” says Solomon Metalwala, Sky’s father.

Bellevue boy, Sky Metawala, still missing after 3 years

Bellevue boy, Sky Metawala, vanished three years ago Thursday.

Sky Metalwala's mother, Julia Biryukova, said she left the 2-year-old in her car while she went to a gas station after she ran out of gas.

She told investigators when she got back about an hour later, he was gone. Sky hasn't been seen since.
