BELLEVUE, Wash. -- Bellevue police interviewed a woman believed to be a friend of Julia Biryukova, the mother of missing Bellevue 2-year-old boy Sky Metalwala, late Tuesday night.
Shelbi Owen spent four hours with investigators. Police believe Owen is the woman Biryukova called for help after Biryukova said she ran out of gas and left Sky in the car to walk to a gas station.
Owen reportedly told police she was shocked to see Sky's mother walking on Sunday morning without her son. Investigators say the last time someone saw the toddler was two weeks ago.
Bellevue Police Department planned to hold a news conference at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday on the latest in the investigation.

Biryukova has hired a new attorney -- Robert Flennaugh, a Seattle lawyer who specializes in criminal defense law.
