TX TX - Lina Sardar Khil Last Seen On Playground At Apartment Complex - San Antonio, Dec 2021 #3

FEB 20, 2024
The family of Lina Sardar Khil is observing another birthday without her. She has now been missing for over two years.

[...]

... With close to no substantial developments in the case, her father says he’s lost confidence with the current police leadership tasked with finding his daughter.

Through a translator he told us Friday that he asked SAPD for a new detective but was denied.

“As I demand the changing and switching the case manager or the detective for Lina’s case, they make their own rules after that and say no we can’t do that it’s the law.”

[...]

Typically, the family holds an observance for her birthday at the complex where went missing from. However, a family spokesperson tells us they are not emotionally equipped for it this year.

FOX San Antonio found out through law enforcement sources and friends of the inmate that he's in the Bexar County Jail on charges of aggravated sexual assault of a child. The man, whom we are not identifying since he has not been charged, is no stranger to FOX San Antonio viewers.

Back in 2019, we ran him as the Most Wanted Fugitive for that week after he skipped town following 15 months in prison for smuggling undocumented immigrants. Then on Jan. 30, he was arrested for aggravated sexual assault of a child.

Back when Lina disappeared, the suspect was living at the same apartment complex with his girlfriend. We are told he would often walk here (the search site.)

******
But for now, the search at this spot is over. We don't know if SAPD and the FBI are still working with the suspect who, according to sources, who has been worried about being linked to Lina's case for a long time.

This makes me wonder if he provided the seemingly false lead or someone else gave the tip that he likes to walk at the search site.

If he didn't have anything to do with Lina disappearing, and was worried about being linked to the case, why give a false lead?
Was he possibly trying to draw attention away from a different location?

Or perhaps someone else entirely provided the unsuccessful "tip." IMO.

The first episode dives into Lina’s missing persons case and details her family’s background, including an interview with her father Riaz Sardar Khil, who helped the U.S. military in Afghanistan, his home country. It also features interviews with prominent figures who have supported the family.

The episode details how the child survived a suicide bombing in Afghanistan, her journey to the United States and her disappearance on Dec. 20, 2021, from the playground at an apartment complex at Fredericksburg and Bluemel roads.

The second episode includes an interview with a witness who saw Lina playing at the apartment with other Afghan children just before her disappearance, and explores the motivations of the Afghan community living in San Antonio.

San Antonio police, who are investigating her disappearance with help from the FBI, have said they are handling Khil’s case as a hybrid missing person and abduction case, despite having no clear evidence she was taken by anyone.
 
If he didn't have anything to do with Lina disappearing, and was worried about being linked to the case, why give a false lead?
There would be no reason to give a false lead in the objective sense.

Subjectively, I imagine the motivation could be a blurry mix of trying to "help", attention seeking, and..... boredom.

As a side note, the early investigators into the LISK murders encountered a retired medical doctor who not only supplied false leads, but also gave deceptive suggestions that he was a first hand witness to one death.

His motivation? Hopefully just boredom- and not dark fantasies.

Pamela Allen has been the family’s advocate throughout the search for Lina. She runs a non-profit, Eagles Flight Advocacy & Outreach. She said NCMEC reached out to her about the new image so she could get the family’s approval.

“It’s a step in the right direction,” Allen said.

Allen said the family did not hesitate to approve the image. It is now being shared across different platforms.

“When they see an age progression photo, it helps them to continue that hope,” Allen said.

Experts explain what goes into age-progressed photo of missing San Antonio girl (fox7austin.com)
[...]

NCMEC says their forensic imaging artists use Photoshop to create age-progressed photos.

"They spend maybe six to eight hours with each age-progressed photo, and they get quite attached, our forensic imaging artists, to the child and to the case as they pore over and create these age-progressed photos," Leemie Kahng-Sofer, director of case management with the Missing Children Division at NCMEC, said.

There are a couple of different ways they do them.

"If we're able to collect them, we collect what are called reference photos. Those are photographs of close family members, usually parents, siblings, and they're photographs taken at the age the child would be at the time that we're age-progressing the photo," Kahng-Sofer said.

NCMEC usually does photos every two years after a child goes missing until they turn 18, then every five years. The hope is cases won't be forgotten.
