Police had a checkpoint up today, just asking locals who travel that route if they remember anything.
BELLEVUE, Wash. -- Police have received a dozen tips from people who stopped at a checkpoint along 112th street NE in Bellevue this morning as they continue to investigate the disappearance of two-year-old Sky Metalwala.
Drivers along 112th street NE in Bellevue are stopping and talking with a contingent of police officers, who are hoping for a break in the case.
“Our hope is as this has gained some notoriety throughout the week there are people that we haven’t talked to yet, that frequented that area last Sunday morning and by being out there, having the presence at the scene, maybe we’ll spark someone’s remembrance of an incident they saw last week,” Bellevue Police Maj. Mike Johnson said at a morning press conference.
Johnson said police had about 20-30 contacts with people.
“Those contacts with vehicles and pedestrians led to the development of about 12 new tips that we’ll be following up on today,” said Johnson. “Specifically what the tips are I don’t know yet.”
