FBI dive team ends search for 3-year-old Lina Sardar Khil 'without conclusive findings'
jan 5, 2022
An FBI dive team has ended its search for missing 3-year-old Lina Sardar Khil without finding any trace of the girl, authorities said Wednesday.
A spokesperson with the San Antonio Police Department told ABC News in a statement Wednesday afternoon that the "dive effort concluded without any conclusive findings" and police have now "broadened the grid" in the search for Lina.
[..]
Lina was last seen on Dec. 20 between 4:30 p.m. and 5:10 p.m. at a park on the 9400 block of Fredericksburg Road in San Antonio, according to police. The park is located near the family's home at the Villa Del Cabo apartment complex.
[..]
McManus said Tuesday Lina is still considered a missing person.
"Our Missing Person's Unit is working tirelessly at receiving leads and tips on little Lina's case," a spokesperson for SAPD told ABC News. "We will continue to follow every lead, no matter how small, until Lina is located."
[..]
Agent Justin Garris of the FBI's Justin San Antonio field office told reporters on Dec. 28 the investigation into Lina's disappearance is "aggressive," adding that the FBI has utilized its child abduction rapid deployment team, behavioral analysis unit, intelligence response teams and forensic examiners.
[..]
The Eagles Flight Advocacy & Outreach organization, a nonprofit in San Antonio, joined the search over the weekend with about 150 people from the Afghan community showing up.
"We can't sit still. We have to do something," Pamela Allen, CEO of Eagles Flight Advocacy and Outreach, told ABC News.
Allen said the group has been in touch with police and was actively searching surrounding areas that are points of interest in the case.
"Yesterday we had about 150 Afghani men and children come out and look for this baby," Allen said, adding that seeing the community come together has been "the most amazing thing."
[..]
Khil said at first they believed that their daughter could be with another Afghan family in the community but now they believe she may have been abducted.

"A lot of the Afghan refugees coming here, they only speak Pashto or Dari," he said, adding that this is one of the reasons many refugees "struggle to find work."
