SKY METALWALA - 2 yo/Male - Bellevue/ Spokane WA

9/14/2012: Washington: The search continues
for missing Redmond boy Sky Metalwala. The boy, then 2-years-old, was
reported missing last November. Sky's father, Solomon Metalwala and his
attorney issued a new plea for help Wednesday, urging
the child's mother, her friends and family to come forward and share any information they have about the case.

Attorney Clay Terry said investigators continue working the case, but are keeping quiet as the probe continues.

Terry said Sky's mother Julia Biryukova, family and friends have
refused to reveal any possible information about the child's whereabouts
or help with the search for the boy.

"In every effort we've
made they are conspicuously absent," he said. "And we don't know why,
and we're asking that they come forward and tell us what they know."

Terry asked for anyone who might have seen Sky between June of 2011 and Nov. 6, 2011 to come forward.

Sky was last reported seen Sunday, Nov. 6, by his mother, who said her
car ran out of gas in Bellevue. But police investigators tested her car
and said they found gas in the tank and could find nothing wrong with
it.

Solomon Metalwala hadn't seen Sky since December of 2010 due to an ongoing custody battle with Julia.

Police have not named Biryukova a suspect. She has refused to be be interviewed by police or take a polygraph test.

"It was really interesting we could not receive any help from her own
brother, he wouldn't help us. The mother wouldn't help us and the two
friends wouldn't help us when everyone else that we know in the
community and dozens of people we did not know in the community came
forward to help us," Terry said.

"I have my talks with Jesus every night. This is probably the worst crime you can think of that touches everybody's heart."

One year after 2-year-old Sky Metalwala went missing in Bellevue, his
father, Solomon, says Sky's big sister misses him every day.

"I have to answer to my little princess who [says], 'He was with me. He used to play with me.'"

Sky's mother, Julia Biryukova, claimed that on November 6th of 2011
she ran out of gas on 112th Ave NE and left her son buckled up inside
the car to walk with her daughter to a nearby gas station for help. When
they returned, Sky was gone.
But police found 2.2 gallons of gas in Julia's car, which was running
just fine, and no witnesses to support her story. It turns out, no one
had seen Sky for weeks.

Julia has refused to take a polygraph or to talk directly with investigators. She remains isolated in her Redmond apartment.

A year later, Solomon has full custody of their 5-year-old daughter,
Maile, and is studying accounting at Lake Washington Technical College.

He's also working every day to find Sky. Solomon says he understands
people are frustrated with the speed of the investigation, but he does
not want people to trash Bellevue or Redmond Police.

"I have full confidence in what they're doing. Yes it's taking a long
time. I know. If I'm ok with it, let's just come together as a
community. Let's pray for the investigators who are working on this.
Let's not bicker."
Solomon believes Sky is still alive. He says investigators have
looked into leads as far away as the Ukraine, where Julia's extended
family lives, and they are still receiving tips.

He recently posted a message on Facebook speaking directly to the people responsible:

"This family, this community, is not going to stop. Whoever has Sky,
give up now... Because the longer you take, the stronger we will
become."

"I know that you probably really want a child. But this boy belongs
to me. This boy belongs to the community of Washington. This boy has a
sister who misses him dearly."

Solomon knows a lot of people don't share his optimism.

"Do I want to believe that he's dead? What proof do I have? It's easy
to believe that. I can be done. I can just start healing. But I believe
that God is good."

Solomon, friends, and family are holding a vigil for Sky this
Saturday, November 10th, at 4:00 PM at Redmond's Downtown Central Park
at 16119 Redmond Way.

He wants the community to turn out in full force. "It will speak
volumes to the person who has Sky. That person needs to know that we're
not going to give up."

The gathering happens to be a block away from where Julia Biryukova lives.

"I don't mind saying that it is very close to where Julia lives. Is
it a coincidence? All I know is I was looking for a place, and that's
what I wanted."
