[septic]

[To Whom it may concern

You can forward this email to the police as a new lead to the on-going investigation but the truth is that they are never going to be successful not even in a thousand years.

Your child is alive but suffering from shock and mentally unstable.If you sure want your child back alive then you must make avaliable the sum of US$25,000 or this offer will be off and your of re-uniting will be sure dead for life.

I must warn you that if this note goes to the public/police or you make any demand for a proof and thereby failing to wire the money via western union money transfer within the next 24hrs,we will have your the fingers cut off one by one till it breeds to death.

The ransom with poor grammar also contradicts itself.
It reads that the Police can be forwarded the email at the start...then at the end it warns not to.
Obviously a fake sent by a lunatic.

Authorities were searching in Marymoor Park in Redmond Saturday morning, looking for missing 2-year-old Sky Metalwala.

“I can’t really say anything other than the fact that it does involve the search for Sky,” Redmond Police spokesman Jim Bove said at the park.

Searchers were fanned out in the large park, which remained open except for one parking lot with a staging area, which was cordoned off.

Horse teams were working along the Sammamish River Trail, which runs along the park, Bove said.

another presser just ended. the local Police are very good about keeping media/public informed as much as possible w/o compromising case investigation.

i got the distinct impression, without it being stated outright, that if the mom doesn't help find this child by monday, they will ask DA to arrest her on lesser charges. they have given her plenty of time and space to talk. it is time to play some hardball with her in a cell.

I was watching an ABC news clip and they played a clip of a conversation that was between the parents and mentioned that it came from a website that looked like the mother had set up she had uploaded recorded calls between them on there.....

Wow in the recording from Oct 28, 2010 the little sounds terrified and is screaming

wish i knew who the mediator was in the recordings. Would like to hear her opinion about the mother, see if she thinks this woman gave a shit about her son. He is a gorgeous little boy. God i pray he is alive! Why are sooo many parents killing their children.

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 112^th street NE in Bellevue this morning as they continue to investigate the disappearance of two-year-old Sky Metalwala.

Drivers along 112^th 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.”

police are discussing with prosecutors today whether to just go ahead and arrest her. she needs to be put in a cell, on suicide watch, and left to stew until she says where the boy is. she already has a mental defense in the works.

KING 5
BELLEVUE, Wash. – Police say they will discuss switching their efforts in the case of two-year-old Sky Metalwala from a missing person search to a criminal investigation

There is a chance they could bring in Sky’s mother, Julia Biryukova, for investigation of child endangerment.

take her ass to jail!!!!!!

"we’re not yet there".

i think they better get a judge to take her passport.

KING 5
BELLEVUE, Wash. – Police say they are keeping all possibilities open in the search for two-year-old Sky Metalwala, but they have not yet launched a criminal investigation.

“At some point, it would not be unlikely this would become a criminal investigation, however, we’re not yet there.” Bellevue Police Major Mike Johnson said Monday. “The thing we are lacking is evidence, and as soon as we can have enough evidence to point us one direction or the other, we can flip that switch and call it something else.”

More than 900 tips have come in since Sky disappeared on November 6, but Johnson said none have panned out.

Sky’s mother, Julia Biryukova, has not yet come in for questioning or taken a polygraph test. When asked about the possibility that Biryukova might choose to leave the state or the country, he said police would want her to talk to them first about that.

Police investigating the disappearance of two-year-old Sky Metalwala were in contact last week with the operator of a dating website where Sky's mother, Julia Biryukova -- or someone using her name and likeness -- created a profile in July.

The owner of the site, Brandon Wade, said police contacted him on Nov. 10 asking for any information he could provide on it. Wade's staff turned over to police a list of login information and messages to and from the account.

Wade said the page was created by someone using a Washington state Internet account, but the person created a free profile requiring no payment or proof of identity, so the exact identify of the profile's creator is unknown.

The website -- seekingarrangement.com -- bills itself as offering "a secure place for like-minded Sugar Daddies, Mommies and Sugar Babies to meet each other." Wade said Biryukova, if it was her who created the account, “signed up to be a sugar baby, which means she’s looking for someone wealthy to take care of her.”

On the page, which was created July 25, a person identifying herself as "JB" says she is "looking for financial stability and assistance. I am looking for a successful mentor. I am looking for a REAL man. YOU tell me YOUR 'ideal' arrangement!" The profile says "JB" expects "US$3,001 - $5,000 monthly."

The profile page features nine photographs of Biryukova and describes her as 30-years-old, a "non-smoker" and "non-drinker" who can "speak fluent Russian, Ukrainian and English" and lives in Redmond.

The last time Biryukova, or the person behind the account, accessed the account was October 26, Wade said.

Another strange twist to an already strange story

[Lady Cop]

KING 5
BELLEVUE, Wash. – Police said Tuesday that there is no truth to reports that an arrest is imminent in the case of Sky Metalwala, the two-year-old who was reported missing ten days ago.

Bellevue Police Major Mike Johnson, at a morning press conference, said the case has not transitioned to a criminal investigation and that all possible theories are still on the table.

Biryukova has continued to refuse requests by police to come in for questioning or to take a polygraph. Johnson said the last time police spoke with her face-to-face was the night Sky disappeared.

Johnson would not specifically state that police know where Biryukova is. “If we need to talk to Julia, we feel confident that we can do that through her attorney," said Johnson. WTF! HAVEN'T THEY HAD HER UNDER SURVEILLANCE? THEY MUST HAVE!

After reading ALL the transcripts on this case so far, this is where I am at...and I don’t think I have read this opinion anywhere else. What’s really going on with the father of Sky?
WHY did he not have custody of the children? And why were the children so scared of their father?
I just have doubts all over the place; the only person who is talking mainly about her is the father. Saying she did this and she did that...she was committed, blah blah blah. Now I have seen that some Indian men are so controlling they make the females BELIEVE they are one way when they are actually NOT.
In my personal opinion, I just don’t think his issues are being questioned or his motives are being questioned as much as hers.
AND one more question, when she left the children for 12 hours during their mediation...the father simply states he did not have custody. WELL wouldnt you ask where you kids were and whom they were with if she was seen without them??

[Lady Cop]

i agree the father is no prize either. but there is no getting away from the fact the baby vanished while in her care and custody. with a completely implausible story.

I do agree with you, but at the same time...he knew where she was living, and he is stating all over the media how she is mental. BUT in the same sentence he states how he has been seperated since last December, and has not seen the kids. SO how is he so sure that she is in fact like this right now? AND is the mental illness something he has conjoured up? If she was a mentally ill mother, and the State deemed her unfit she would not have custody. AND WHAT did he do that was so bad that HE DIDNT have custody? That is a question that I have not seen an answer for...

While the father may not be the greatest person, there is official record of her admission into a mental health facility, at least twice, in the legal documents that were filed as part of the divorce. If she didn't have something to hide, why did she make up the big story of leaving Sky in the car? If she really does not know where Sky is, don't you think the father is the first person she would blame, rather than making up the big story?

Also, the mother and father just went through mediation recently, which ended in giving the father back some visitation and/or custody rights.

I hope the mother just freaked out and hid Sky from the father, maybe even sent him to a relative in Russia, but I fear she did worse.

Well if he is deceased and somewhere outside the weather is getting really cold here. We are forecasted to get snow on friday. That is of course is if he is not in a body of water. Which there are many opportunities for that. Many apartment complexes even have ponds and things like that around here and those will be freezing soon. I sure wish that something would happen and that poor little boy would be found.

I also agree with Lytome that i have come in contact with very controlling indian men and definitely don't like it when women get the upper hand or authority. I just wonder if his over the top look at the mother finger pointing isn't just more along that rather than trying to steer away from looking at him. It's really hard to know either way but I would think if the father had taken the son at any point prior to this date the mother would have spoken up. Unless the father was following the mother and pounced on this moment to snatch the son and hide him. Does the father have an alibi for the time the child went missing?

Is he Indian or Pakistani? I thought I read that he was from Pakistan.

Pakistani. The original report said Indian, but it was corrected in subsequent stories.

Pakistani. The original report said Indian, but it was corrected in subsequent stories.

The father is from Pakistan, but his family could have moved to Pakistan from India. The last name Metalwala is a pretty common surname in India.

Either way, from India or Pakistan, the cultures are pretty similar in terms of how they treat women. In both cultures male off-spring are more desirable than baby girls.

I know this is bad to say, but I kinda wonder if that is why she could have hurt the boy. She knew that it would hurt him. Neither parent seems to be totally sane, but looking at the details, I think this was a way to get back at him. Sadly, I think we all know this child is probably not alive.
