Missing Sky's dad 'hanging in there' for daughter

As police continue their investigation, Solomon Metalwala and Terry have continued to pound the pavement. A few weeks ago they reached out to medical professionals on the Eastside to discover if either of the children had received medical care within the last year.

The attorney for Sky Metalwala's father says they want to make sure Julia Buryikova doesn't gain access to her daughter Maile, a possible witness to a crime involving missing Sky.

Maile must be dismissed as a witness by the police department before Biryokova can seek visitation to see her daughter. And according to Attorney Clay Terry, "She will not have visitation until it's approved by the child's therapist and the agencies involved."

The answer was no.

If it's seemed like you've seen fewer headlines featuring Sky in the past couple of weeks, Terry said it's because they've been intentionally under the radar. "I think it's finally hitting [Solomon Metalwala,] that something happened to his son," Terry said. "But he's hanging in there because he's been there for Maile."

Terry says their search will be out again next week as they hold a vigil on Sunday, Feb. 18 at Bellevue Park, to mark 100 days since 2-year-old Sky was reported missing.
