FBI Joins Search for Missing 2-Year-old Washington Boy: Sky Metalwala. Foul Play is NOW suspected! Father has re-gained full custody of their daughter. Still No Arrests and Mother is Not Talking! MissingWAboy
The FBI has joined the search for a 2-year-old Washington state boy who was last seen by his mother inside a parked car.
Sky Metalwala was reported missing Sunday morning after his mother discovered him missing from her car in Bellevue, Wash.
The child's mother told police that she had run out of gas and left the boy buckled into his car seat while she and her 4-year-old daughter walked to a Chevron gas station, about a mile away.
When the pair returned to the silver Acura approximately an hour later, the 2-year-old boy was gone, Fox affiliate KCPQ-TV reports.
The woman reportedly told police that the car was not locked.
The toddler is of Indian and Caucasian descent, with brown eyes and dark hair, according to police. He was reportedly last seen wearing a dark green hooded sweatshirt and blue and gray-striped pants.
His mother was interviewed by detectives Sunday night, while the 4-year-old girl was being looked after by family members, according to the station.
About 50 people, including police with tracking dogs, fanned out around the area Sunday in their search for the child, Bellevue police spokeswoman Carla Iafrate told the station.
Iafrate said the boy's parents were cooperating.
Anyone with information on the boy's whereabouts is being urged to call 911.

She didn't have a cell phone?

She thought he would be content, warm and unafraid to stay alone for the hour it took her to be away but her 4 year old daughter would not?

Why did she leave the doors unlocked, does she claim it was on purpose or absentmindedly?

Did she have gas can in trunk or did she borrow one from gas station?

Why did she walk back, couldn't she ask a worker to ride her back to her car and thus shorten the walk for her 4 year old and the time the 2 year old was left alone?

When she got back and found him missing what did she do, did she go back to gas station to phone LE or did she look around the area to see if he had gotten out of car? Did she think he was able to get himself out of his carseat? If she looked around for him, that would be suggested and if she did think he could get out why did she leave him alone!!!

Is the photo in the article above one she took of him immediately before she left him alone?

Sky Metalwala Missing: Parents Have Previous Record of Reckless Endangerment
By Ellen Killoran

A two-year old boy is missing after his mother left him unattended in an unlocked car on Sunday morning.

Sky Metalwala's mother told Bellevue, Wash., police she ran out of gas, and left her son strapped into a car seat while she and her four-year-old daughter walked to a Chevron station a mile away. He was reportedly unattended for an hour.

The police have not yet issued an Amber Alert, which, along with information published in a Seattle Times article, could indicate that police are unconvinced that Sky was kidnapped.

According to The Seattle Times, police conducted a search of the area where Sky went missing Sunday afternoon but called off the search at around 6 p.m. There were no plans to resume the search on Monday.

"King County felt like they had done a very thorough search of a pretty wide area for the boy and were confident that he wasn't there," Officer Carla Iafrate, spokesperson for the Bellevue Police Department, told the Times.

Lafrate also said the police did not find a portable gas can in or near the car.

"We don't know much, other than that the child is still missing," Iafrate told the Times. "I don't know if the child got out on his own. We don't have very much information.

"At this point we're just treating it as a missing child," Iafrate added. "We don't know anything more yet."

The Times reported Monday that the FBI had joined the search, but did not specify in what capacity.

According to King County District Court records obtained by the Times, Matalwala's parents were charged in Dec. 2009 with reckless endangerment and leaving a child unattended in a motor vehicle.

lafrate reportedly told a Fox News affliliate the boy's parents were cooperating with the investigation.

Sky Metalwala is of Indian and Caucasian descent, with dark buzz-cut hair and brown eyes. The toddler was last seen wearing a dark green hooded sweatshirt and blue and gray striped pants.

Anyone with information on his whereabouts is urged to immediately call 911.

They have a charge against them from 2009 where they left a child unattended before. Very strange.

How can they know so little, have they not asked any questions? These cases of parents saying, "oops, my kid is missing" and then acting like that's the end of their responsibility, they know nothing, can not assist in searches, don't want the cops asking questions, but wait...ABC wants an interview, Dollar Signs ...too dam many of these cases!

* Mother Julia Biryukova also obtained restraining order against her husband last year

The mother of the son who vanished after being left in an unlocked car while she went to get gas had previously been cited for leaving a child unattended in a vehicle, according to police.

Authorities in Washington state spent a second day today searching for two-year-old Sky Metawala, as court documents emerged revealing his parents had previously been arrested for leaving their child.

Mother Julia Biryukova had also obtained a restraining order against his father last year.

She told investigators she left the two-year-old alone on Sunday as she and her four-year-old daughter walked a mile to a gas station, Bellevue police said.

When she came back an hour later, the boy was gone, she said.
^top

Investigators searched a 20-block area and even went door to door but found no sign of him.

In December 2009, officers in nearby Redmond cited Biryukova and her husband, Solomon Metalwala, for reckless endangerment for leaving a child unattended in a vehicle.

Details were not immediately available; police said they were working to redact an incident report for release under the state's public records act.

The case was dismissed early this year after the pair agreed to a year of probation, 40 hours of community service and a ten-week parenting class, said Ian Goodhew, a spokesman for the King County Prosecutor's Office.

The couple had been together for 14 years, married since 2003 and separated in March 2010, court records show.

In June 2010, Biryukova, 30, filed for a protection order on behalf of herself and their two children, saying Solomon had a severe anger problem, was verbally abusive and that he had beat her for the first time the previous Christmas.
^top

The reason was that she had allowed Sky – just four months old at the time – to sleep later than expected, she said.

'He became furious like I have never seen him before, he grabbed me by my hair in front of our daughter, dragged me into our hallway, threw me down on the floor and then threw me against a decorative column we have in the entrance of our home,' Biryukova wrote.

'He continued to assault me with his feet – by kicking me and then he took out his car keys and contrived to scratch me in any area he could.

The abuse escalated after that, with Solomon telling her to go live on the street and work as a prostitute, she said.

'The most, most recent have been his threats to kill me if I say anything against him or if in any way I proceed with action of seeking custody of our two small children,' Biryukova added. 'I live in constant fear for my life and my children's life. Please investigate and help me!'
^top

A man who answered the phone at King Street Kafe and Market, a shop Metalwala owns in Seattle's Pioneer Square neighborhood, referred calls to a Leslie Clay Terry III, a lawyer who represented the couple in the reckless endangerment case. Terry did not immediately return a call seeking comment.

Spokesperson for the Bellevue Police Department, Officer Carla Lafrate, told The Seattle Times: ‘King County felt like they had done a very thorough search of a pretty wide area for the boy and were confident that he wasn’t there.’

The mother told police that as she was walking back to her silver Acura from Chevron gas station a friend picked her up and drove them back to the car.

But when they returned, Sky was missing. The door had been left unlocked and there was no sign of forced entry, police said.
^top

Officer Lafrate added: ‘We don’t know much, other than the child is still missing. I don’t know if the child got out on his own.’

Sky has been described as having brown eyes and dark buzz-cut hair.

He was dressed in a dark-green hooded sweatshirt and blue and grey striped trousers.

The case is being treated as a missing child, as they do not know if he was taken or left on his own accord.

Well, WTH?? If the door was left unlocked, there Would be no sign of "forced entry". Does the media think we are a bunch of idiots??

I wonder if she went back to her abusive husband. Many women do, even if they have an Order of Protection.

IMHO, there is a LOT more to this case than meets the eye.

I dont think we know enough about the exact circumstances. The father owns a business - I read some of the reviews on line - its in a good area. Where was the mother going? Was she driving a far distance and if so why didnt she have sufficient gas? I thought at first maybe it was a matter of money and she was running away, maybe the family didnt have money but that doesnt seem to be the case. Where exactly was she when the car stopped and did they find the car had gas in it when this was reported and where was it reported and how.

Parents of missing WA 2-year-old boy had been cited

BELLEVUE, WA (AP) -

Police in Washington state spent a second day Monday searching for a toddler whose mother said he vanished from an unlocked car that ran out of gas, as court documents revealed that the boy's parents had previously been cited for leaving him unattended in a vehicle and his mother had obtained a restraining order against his father last year.

The mother, Julia Biryukova, told investigators she left 2-year-old Sky Metalwala alone Sunday as she and her 4-year-old older daughter walked a mile to a gas station, Bellevue police said. When she came back an hour later, the boy was gone, she said.

Investigators searched a 20-block area and even went door to door but found no sign of him. The FBI, King County Sheriff's Office and a King County helicopter were enlisted to help.

The Bellevue Police Department said both parents were cooperating, and Biryukova had consented to have her vehicle and home in nearby Redmond searched.

"We're looking at it from all angles, at this point," said Bellevue Police Maj. Mike Johnson. "Missing person, abduction, foul play has not been ruled out."

In December 2009, officers in Redmond cited Biryukova and her husband, Solomon Metalwala, for reckless endangerment after they acknowledged leaving Sky, then 3 months old, in their Cadillac sport-utility vehicle in a Target parking lot on a 27-degree day. A shopper who heard the baby crying called police, and a responding officer reported that the car felt cold.

Paged inside the store, the couple said they had left the baby in the car for about 20 minutes because they didn't want to wake him up.

The case was dismissed early this year after the pair agreed to a year of probation, 40 hours of community service and a 10-week parenting class, said Ian Goodhew, a spokesman for the King County Prosecutor's Office.

The couple had been together for 14 years, married since 2003 and separated in March 2010, court records show. In June 2010, the same month Metalwala filed for divorce, Biryukova, 30, filed for a protection order on behalf of herself and their two children.

She said Metalwala, 36, had a severe anger problem, was verbally abusive and that he had beat her for the first time on Christmas Day, just weeks after the incident at the Target parking lot. The reason was that she had allowed Sky to sleep later than expected, she said.

"He became furious like I have never seen him before, he grabbed me by my hair (in front of our 3 1/2 year old daughter), dragged me into our hallway, threw me down on the floor and then threw me against a decorative column we have in the entrance of our home," Biryukova wrote. "He continued to assault me with his feet -- by kicking me and then he took out his car keys and continued to scratch me in any area he could."

The abuse escalated after that, with Solomon telling her to go live on the street and work as a prostitute, she said.

"The most, most recent have been his threats to kill me if I say anything against him or if in any way I proceed with action of seeking custody of our two small children," Biryukova added. "I
live in constant fear for my life and my children's life. Please investigate and help me!"

He responded that she had mental health issues and that he feared for the safety of the children when they were in her care.

A man who answered the phone at King Street Kafe and Market, a shop Metalwala owns in Seattle's Pioneer Square neighborhood, referred calls to a Leslie Clay Terry III, a lawyer who represented the couple in the reckless endangerment case. Terry did not immediately return a call seeking comment.

Other possible phone numbers for Metalwala could not immediately be verified.http://www.kptv.com/story/15975463/police-search-for-missing-bellevue-2-year-old

I wonder if he got out of his car seat and opened the door and got out? If the car was parked on the side of the road - it wouldnt be easy to see that a child was in the back seat alone from the cars driving by at normal speeds. Most people dont pay attention to a car parked at the side of the road. I cant understand why she didnt lock the car - is she just stupid or what? Of course, the first stupid thing was leaving the child at all, and she didnt have a cell phone? Who doesnt have a cell phone now days?

I am not positive my 2 year old grandson would know how to get out of his carseat. Is he closer to three than two?? Would love to know his DOB.

I can just imagine this little one crying his eyes out. Maybe someone heard him crying and took him.

Well I just read where a 3 year old survived on leftovers
after her mother died in their home so its quite possible he could have gotten out by himself. Its a wooded area I think where the car was left. I cannot understand this women for leaving her child alone - why did she do it? Because she didnt want to carry him?

Sky Metalwala Missing: Washington Boy's Dad Says Mom's Story Doesn't Add Up

GENE JOHNSON, PHUONG LE and MANUEL VALDES 11/ 7/11 09:53 PM ET

BELLEVUE, Wash. — Police searching for a 2-year-old Washington state boy focused their efforts Monday around the home of his mother, who reportedly told investigators she last saw him in her stalled car on a city street as she walked away for an hour to get gas.

It wouldn't be the first time Sky Metalwala had been left alone in a car. When he was just 3 months old, court records revealed, his parents left him in their sport utility vehicle in a Target parking lot for 55 minutes on a 27-degree day. They only came out of the store to get him after police arrived and asked for the vehicle's owner to be paged.

The toddler's disappearance Sunday in Bellevue, a city of 122,000 across Lake Washington from Seattle, came at the height of a custody fight between his parents, Julia Biryukova and Solomon Metalwala. They separated in March 2010 amid back-and-forth protective orders and allegations of abuse and psychiatric problems.

Last December, a social worker determined that there was a "preponderance of evidence" that Metalwala had struck his daughter hard enough to cause bruising, court records show. The social worker also said Sky had troubling bruises, but because the boy could not talk, it wasn't clear where he got them. However the attorney for Metalwala, Leslie Clay Terry III, said Monday that case worker had only interviewed the mother and that Child Protective Services later conducted an investigation that cleared Metalwala.

"He was exonerated completely," Terry said.

Last week, at a mandatory mediation session, a tentative agreement was hammered out that would allow Metalwala to have some visitation with Sky and his older sister, his lawyer said.

Biryukova reported that her car ran out of gas in Bellevue on Sunday morning, police said. She said she left Sky in the unlocked vehicle and walked with her daughter, who is 4, about a mile to a gas station. When she returned to the car, Sky wasn't there, she said.

Investigators searched a 20-block area and even went door to door but found no sign of him. There was no gas can at the car, police said.

The Bellevue Police Department said both parents were cooperating, and Biryukova had consented to have her vehicle and home in nearby Redmond searched. The older child has been placed in protective custody.

"We're looking at it from all angles, at this point," said Bellevue Police Maj. Mike Johnson. "Missing person, abduction, foul play has not been ruled out."

Biryukova did not immediately return a call seeking comment. Her younger brother, Stanley Biryukov, said Julia was crying frantically when she called him Sunday afternoon and explained what had happened.

"I'm hoping they'll find the child," he said.

Metalwala spoke with reporters at the office of his lawyer, Terry. They said his estranged wife's story was bizarre: Why didn't she call for help, knock on a nearby door, or take the child with her?

"I don't understand why she would leave a little baby in the car," Metalwala said. "The whole story is puzzling."

In December 2009, Redmond police cited both parents for reckless endangerment at the Target parking lot. A shopper who heard the baby crying in the SUV called police, and a responding officer reported that the car felt cold.

Paged inside the store, the couple said they had left the baby in the car for 15 to 20 minutes because they didn't want to wake him up. Surveillance video of the parking lot later proved it had actually been 55 minutes.

The case was dismissed early this year after the pair completed a year of probation, 40 hours of community service and a 10-week parenting class.

The couple had been together for 14 years. He was 21 and she was a high school sophomore when they began dating, according to one of her court declarations. In another declaration, her mother, Nadia Biryukova, wrote that they married in 2003 in her kitchen just before he was to be deported to Pakistan.

In court documents filed in connection with their divorce, Julia Biryukova said their relationship deteriorated in 2008 after they bought an expensive home in Kirkland and couldn't keep up with the payments on that property and a condominium they also owned.

The couple separated in March 2010, court records show. In June 2010, the same month Metalwala filed for divorce, Biryukova, 30, filed for a protection order on behalf of herself and their two children.

She said Metalwala, 36, had a severe anger problem, was verbally abusive and that he had beat her for the first time on Christmas Day, just weeks after the incident at the Target parking lot. The reason was that she had allowed Sky to sleep later than expected, she said.

"He became furious like I have never seen him before, he grabbed me by my hair (in front of our 3 1/2 year old daughter), dragged me into our hallway, threw me down on the floor and then threw me against a decorative column we have in the entrance of our home," Biryukova wrote. "He continued to assault me with his feet – by kicking me and then he took out his car keys and continued to scratch me in any area he could."

The abuse escalated after that, with Solomon telling her to go live on the street and work as a prostitute, she said.

"The most, most recent have been his threats to kill me if I say anything against him or if in any way I proceed with action of seeking custody of our two small children," Biryukova added. "I live in constant fear for my life and my children's life. Please investigate and help me!"

He responded that she had mental health problems and was involuntarily committed to a mental clinic in 2010.

"The accusations against him were totally false," his lawyer said.

Earlier this year a social worker with state Child Protective Services reported that a doctor found her to be in good mental health and an appropriate caregiver for the children.

One psychologist who evaluated Biryukova wrote in July 2010 that though she was dealing with "a severe form of obsessive compulsive disorder, I do not believe that interferes with her ability to be a compassionate, effective parent to her children."

CPS received six referrals about the family from late 2009 to late 2010, state officials reported in court documents

Sky Metalwala case: This is NOT Sophie’s Choice

Riddle me this: You run out of gas. You have a 4 year old and a 2 year old. Your options:

1.) stay at the car and wait for someone to help you (because apparently you are the only person left in the U.S. without a cell phone);

2.) take both your children with you and walk until you get help.

Well, if you’re Julia Biryukova, you have a third option. You take your 4-year-old daughter and walk a mile to a Chevron station where you don’t purchase gas; call a friend to have them drive you back to your car (again, without getting any gas); and discover that to your surprise your 2-year-old son who you left unattended for an hour in an unlocked car is missing! Yep, she left a 2 year old unattended in an unlocked car on the side of the road and it didn’t even require an SS officer threatening if she didn’t pick one child to take care of they both would die.

And then she had the audacity to report that she had no idea what happened to him or who took him! Even though her car wasn’t out of gas and started right up!

Let’s throw in what I’m sure Julia will say is a rather insignificant coincidence…all this happened just 4 days after a 11 hour mediation session with her estranged husband in which a custody agreement was finally reached allowing the father visitation with his children. An agreement that Julia then turned around and stated she had felt pressured to enter into and wanted to “void”.

It just really doesn’t get more obvious than that, now does it?

Julia (and Solomon the father) apparently have a habit of leaving their children unattended in cars. In 2009 when Sky was just 3 months old they were paged by a Target employee to the service desk because someone had discovered the baby in a car unattended…it was 27 degrees outside. The couple claimed they were only in the store 20 minutes but surveillance video proved that wrong. They were in there close to an hour.

But let us not allow that past piss-poor parenting moment to distract us from the hinky at hand. The car was not out of gas, she didn’t bring gas back in a can, and the car started right up. So, that leaves us with Julia just confessing to where the little boy’s body is, basically.

Julia has been in inpatient mental care three separate times. One psychologist treating Julia described her as suffering with “a severe form of obsessive compulsive disorder”…but then he went on to say he thought she’d be okie-dokie with parenting responsibilities. On the other hand, Julia has accused Solomon of being controlling and abusive. The couple have a history of filing protective orders against each other, and a CPS worker had previously found the older girl had bruises that backed a claim by Julia that Solomon had beat her (but a full investigation completely cleared him) – so this family is effed up from the get-go.

Police have now searched a 20 block area around the location of the car where Sky allegedly went missing. They have searched the vehicle and Julia’s home in Redmond, Washington. Solomon Metalwala has taken a polygraph which is reported to have had inconclusive results. I personally don’t believe he has anything to do with the child’s disappearance. I think he was the intended indirect victim.

Julia – where is Sky?

From Art's post above...

OMG! This is just sickening! These kids should have been put in protective custody a LONG time ago!

I am wondering, now that they are saying the father was just awarded visitation and it is apparent that the Mother was upset about that, I have to wonder and HOPE that perhaps she has him hidden somewhere and fabricated this story to protect her son from the Father... BUT if that was the case, then one would think she would have hidden the Daughter as well since she has been seen with bruises.

This case is bizarre. But thank GOD the daughter is now in Protective Custody.

Well, he is from Pakistan - and the culture values the son more than the daughter. Its just the way it is, same in India - where they have such a shortage of women that some girls in small villages are said to be the wife of several men. Actually most of the mediterranean is that way -turkey, greece, even Italy.

I also do not believe the father is involved, however,
again, the culture also believes its ok to hit women.
Believe me as a Greek-American I can tell you that Greece which is extremely modern now (except for paying its debts apparently) still has areas where its not uncommon still to see abuse toward women. Usually in the very close northern borders of Greece in smaller villages. Same for Italy and the Balkans as well as the middle east - but they really do value their children with a definite prejudice toward their sons but I dont believe the father is involved.

Cops suspect foul play in case of missing Washington toddler
Missing tot Sky Metalwala's dad calls estranged wife's story about stranded car bogus

BY Philip Caulfield
NEW YORK DAILY NEWS

Tuesday, November 8 2011, 2:24 PM
Police in Bellevue, Wash., said they have no leads in the case of 2-year-old Sky Metalwala, whose mom claims went missing on Sunday morning.

The boy’s father, Solomon Metalwala, said he didn’t believe his estranged wife’s story that the boy vanished after she left him in her broken down car while she went for help.

The boy’s father, Solomon Metalwala, said he didn’t believe his estranged wife’s story that the boy vanished after she left him in her broken down car while she went for help.

Washington state police "absolutely" suspect foul play in the disappearance of a 2-year-old boy whose mother claims vanished from her broken down car on Sunday morning, according to a local report.

"Someone close to this family knows what happened to this child," Bellevue police spokesman Major Mike Johnson told television station KING 5 news on Tuesday.

"We don't even know if was in the car," Johnson added, saying that it was "highly unlikely, but possible" that the boy, Sky Metalwala, got out of the vehicle by himself.

Johnson's statements came a day after little Sky's grief-stricken dad said his estranged wife's story about how the boy went missing was bogus.

"I think this is some kind of game she's playing," Solomon Metalwala said of his wife, Julia Biryukova, according to Seattle's FOX station Q13. "I don't know what she is thinking."

Biryukova told Bellevue police that she ran out of gas early Sunday morning and left the little boy buckled in his car seat while she and her 4-year-old daughter went for help.

When she returned in a friend's car an hour later, the toddler was gone, she claimed.

Investigators spent Sunday afternoon knocking on doors, searching wooded areas and checking dumpsters in a 20-block area in northwest Bellevue, but found no sign of the boy.

Police have not named Biryukova as a suspect in the disappearance.

Metalwala was scheduled to take a lie detector test on Tuesday morning. Biryukova, though, refused to take one, cops said.

Metalwala, 36, and Biryukova, 30, have been locked in a nasty divorce battle that included charges of abuse, neglect and psychiatric problems on both sides, according to reports.

Metalwala claims his wife suffers from mental illness, and in court papers filed in March he charged that she had "dreams about killing our children, even telling me of her dreams about strangling our youngest child," Q13 reported.

The pair separated in March 2010 after 14 years together.

Biryukova later filed for a restraining order, saying that she feared for her life because Metalwala was physically and verbally abusive.

Though Metalwala claimed his wife's story was phony, it wouldn't be the first time the boy has been stranded in a car.

Two years ago, the parents left baby Sky in their parked SUV in 27-degree cold while they went bargain hunting at a Target store for nearly in an hour, the Associated Press reported.

The pair was cited for reckless endangerment after a shopper heard the boy crying and called the cops.

The case was dismissed this year after the pair served probation and completed community serve and parenting classes, the AP reported.

Metalwala said he believed his son "was out there," and pleaded with anyone who may have taken the boy to come forward.

"Please return Sky to the police officers, to the fire department, to the hospitals," he told KING.

Well she might be mentally ill but hes no better - he left his son in the car before as well while he shopped.
Neither one of them are very responsible. I thought the shrink said she could be compassionate mother?
Now he says that the mother dreamt about killing the kids? We have no idea of the craziness there is in the world do we.

Mother of Missing Child Refuses Polygraph Test

By CHRISTINA CARON (@cdcaron)
Nov. 8, 2011

Julia Biryukova, mother of the 2-year-old toddler who went missing Sunday in Bellevue, Wash., has refused to take a lie detector test, police said today, and detectives are focusing their search on the area surrounding her Redmond apartment.

Biryukova told police she was driving her two children to Overlake Hospital Medical Center in Bellevue because her younger child, Sky Metalwala, wasn't feeling well. She said she ran out of gas on 112th Avenue, a two-way street that borders Interstate 520, so she and her 4-year-old daughter trekked about a mile to a nearby gas station, Northtowne Chevron Service, leaving Sky in the car.

Police said she then called a friend, who took her to her car about an hour later. But when they returned to the two-door silver Acura, Biryukova said, the boy was gone.

"We continue to invite her to take a polygraph and as of yet she has not taken one," said Bellevue police spokeswoman Carla Iafrate, adding that Sky's mother did allow police to search her car and the inside of her home.

Biryukova is in the middle of a difficult divorce with her husband, Solomon Metalwala. He hasn't seen either of his two children in "several months," police said. Metalwala took a polygraph test Monday, but the results were inconclusive, something Iafrate said is "not unusual." He volunteered to take another test today.

Clay Terry, one of the attorneys representing Metalwala, was not immediately available for comment. But he told ABC News affiliate KOMO that his client is "exhausted" and hadn't slept much since his son disappeared.

The father of two has kept out of the spotlight, making one brief, soft-spoken public statement to reporters Monday outside his lawyer's office, saying, "Please just return him back, like I just said to the police officers, the hospitals and the fire department. Please."

Police have emphasized they aren't naming any suspects yet, but they do suspect "foul play."

"It's been over 48 hours and there's been nobody coming forward telling us where Sky is, so obviously foul play is under consideration here," Iafrate said.

So far, she said, family members have been cooperating with investigators.

According to The Associated Press, the couple had been together for 14 years. They married in 2003 and separated in 2010, the same year Biryukova, 30, filed for an order of protection for herself and her children, the AP reported. He was charged with leaving a child unattended in a motor vehicle in 2009, in Redmond, Wash., a case that was eventually dismissed after he completed mandatory community service, paid a fine and completed a parenting class.

For now, more than 35 detectives from Bellevue, Redmond and the FBI are concentrating on the area surrounding the mother's home.

"We're going to search everything around the area of her home because that's the last place Sky was prior to being in the car," said Iafrate today.

They are also doing forensic work on Biryukova's car, and removing the gas tank to find out how much gas it contains.

Biryukova, who lives in Redmond, could have driven her son to a hospital closer to her home, Iafrate said, but instead felt more comfortable going to the hospital in Overlake.

A gas can wasn't found in Biryukova's car, a detail that "could mean a lot of things," Bellevue police spokeswoman Iafrate told ABCNews.com Monday.

Her car showed no sign of forced entry, according to police, who stopped searching the wooded area near the car Sunday evening.

When Iafrate spoke to Biryukova on Sunday evening, "she was quite calm at that time and concerned."

"Over the years that I've been an officer, I'm struck by how people react to a stressful situation and there are many different reactions to stress. Some people are calm and some are hysterical," she said.

A 'Frustrating' Case

"There's not been a whole lot of progress in the investigation, and as you well know, that's really frustrating to us as well," Iafrate told reporters today. "So far we have only been able to locate one person who has seen Sky in the last two weeks and that was a neighbor."

Although one tipster called police after seeing Biryukova's car on the side of the road during the same time period police were notified that Sky was missing, the tipster said nobody was in the car.

Attempts by police to question Biryukova's 4-year-old, who is currently in protective custody, also failed to turn up any clues. She said her brother Sky was in the car.

"I'm hoping that someone's going to call us on a tip line and tell us something that's going to lead us to Sky," said Iafrate. "We're going to work day and night until we can solve the mystery."

Police are erecting three billboards to solicit tips from the public.

"Even if you think you didn't see anything, doesn't matter; we want to hear from you if you were on that road at that time," Iafrate said.

Searching for Sky Metalwala

Sky is half Indian and half Caucasian, with brown eyes and dark buzz-cut hair. He was last seen wearing a dark green hooded sweatshirt with blue and gray striped Carter's pants, the same outfit he's pictured in above.

Anyone who sees a child matching this description is asked to call 911 immediately. Police are urging anyone who might have traveled along 112th Ave N.E., between I-520 and NE 24th Ave N.E., Sunday morning between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. to call Bellevue, Wash., police at 425-577-5656 or email [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.].

I don't understand why she would kill only 1 of her children. I have been wanting to comment on this thread. To say the mothers story is full of BS

Not sure if a link to her FB has been posted up thread, but I just found it today and I have to say, if you look at her photo albums, they are ONLY of her 4 year old daughter Mailie but her profile picture looks like it is Sky??

My thoughts on this...
A) Did she ever have an album for precious little Sky?
B) Did she delete them because she can't stand looking at them because of something she knows she did to that poor baby boy?
C) Did she delete them so that the Media would have to PAY to get them from her?
D) All of the above?


and of course MOO...

How could she come up with such a lame story about leaving the child in the car? I wonder if it was because she and her husband had done it before, and in her mind it would be believed? Again I say it might be that she felt that it would matter more to the husband if it was his son that was gone - just a guess.

I read somewhere that there were only one or two pictures of Sky on her FB pages, Mommy. She did not delete any.
As far as her profile pic, I also read (RUMOR ALERT) that that is not the original pic.

Just had a though.... She said she was on her way to take Sky to the hospital because he was "ill". If that was the case, then all the more reason NOT to leave your sick little son all alone in your car.

Anyone who sees a child matching this description is asked to call 911 immediately. Police are urging anyone who might have traveled along 112th Ave N.E., between I-520 and NE 24th Ave N.E., Sunday morning between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. to call Bellevue, Wash., police at 425-577-5656 or email [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.].

Here is a link to the weather history for that day and time frame 🇳🇴 Nov 6 7:53 AM Ice fog. Chilly. 32 °F

If her story is true, which obviously isn't sounding logical, he would have froze in that car :pale:

She wont take a lie detector test - I very much doubt the child was ever in the car. Whatever she did with him it wasnt in plain sight of other cars whizzing by.
