Police search Watershed Park in Kirkland over weekend in missing boy case, GMA claims correspondence with mother

New information from the public has led Bellevue police to expand the search for 2-year-old Sky Metalwala. On Saturday, Kirkland Police closed Watershed Park so investigators could search the grounds. As of Monday morning there was no word on whether the search turned up any credible evidence in the case.

New information from the public has led Bellevue police to expand the search for 2-year-old Sky Metalwala.

On Saturday, Kirkland Police closed Watershed Park so investigators could search the grounds.

“There is no new releasable information at this time,” said Bellevue Police Department spokesperson Carla Iafrate in an email. “Nothing significant to this case came from the Watershed Park (search).”

Police say they are still trying to pin down the sequence of events that led to Sky Metalwala’s disappearance.

Julia Biryukova, Sky’s mother, told police her car ran out of gas on the morning of Nov. 6, as she was attempting to take the boy to the hospital. She left the car at the 2400 block of 112th Avenue Northeast with Sky still in the car. When she returned to the car approximately an hour later, he was gone.

Good Morning America is claiming that they have exchanged emails with Biryukova. But there is no way to know if the respondent is Biryukova, a family member or if the email address was hacked.

“ABC shared those emails with police, which were passed onto detectives to determine if there are any investigative value to them,” said Iafrate. “(It is) unknown if emails are actually from Julia.”

Biryukova has not spoken publicly or to police since the night her son went missing.

Bellevue police released new photos of Sky Metalwala and Biryukova on Friday in an attempt to gain more information from the public.
