TX TX - Lina Sardar Khil, 3, last seen on playground @ apartment complex, San Antonio, 20 Dec 2021

[OldCop]

Did he say where the video was from?

See, that’s what I’m saying. Normally when you say someone was visible between such and such a time, they were seen at the beginning and again at the end time. I don’t think there is a video right now. I think someone did see her positively at 4:49 but no one noticed she was missing until 5:10. At 5:10 someone said, Where’s Lina?” They traced back and found someone, (mom, another parent at the playground, a kid, a resident) who had seen her at 4:49. If they could find someone who saw her at say 5:01, they could narrow down the exact time of her disappearance. MOO

I would take the sticker thing with a grain of salt.
My hunch: Towing occurs if a vehicle is there for an extended time (days) or if someone complains. JMO

I agree, but it depends on the company who gets the contract. Companies that hustle make a lot more on the towing fees and may be more vigilant.

Attacking a child and causing a child to vanish are not the same. A coyote would not be physically capable of carrying away a child Lina's size—not even close.

Moreover, doing so without leaving any blood evidence would basically be in the realm of magic.

Incorrect. A coyote can jump a 6ft fence with up to 25lbs. Here is an article of a coyote, a single coyote dragging a 6 year old boy a few feet before the dad stopped it. Had the dad not stopped it, the coyote surely would of taken the boy further. Not saying miles but far enough.

anyways I dont know why the effort is going into how impossible this is when I have showed linked to reports saying otherwise. Including a link to pretty much the exact area she was in.
Its literally just something I am saying cant be written off. I dont believe its what happened.

The interfaith vigil for the 3-year-old girl will take place at 10 a.m. Friday at the St. Francis Episcopal Church, located at 4242 Bluemel Road. KSAT will livestream the vigil in the player; if there is not a livestream available, check back at a later time.

The father of missing Lina Khil lights a candle of hope at a pray vigil this morning. Hundreds

@News4SA

I found it interesting that it appears from pictures taken at the vigil the vast majority of attendees are men. (more and clearer pictures in original post).

I’m not sure why that is and don’t want to derail the conversation w/guesses; it just makes me wonder if this distinctive divide between male and female participation indicates a similar gender difference in awareness of case details, LE calls for info, etc.
Are women less likely to share what they know either because they’re unaware the info is needed and/or because culturally the male is expected to deal w/inquiries? My DH is a wonderful man, but if asked to relay my “soft” impressions regarding a situation like this I’m quite sure he’d forget some things and dismiss others as unimportant.

Do we know if LE is making a point to interact w/women in this community individually and in groups when a male spokesperson is not present?

from my time around this culture, it has not caught up completely to the idea that women are equal. Even for themselves not all of them have gotten used to the idea and therefore more than likely stay out of the spotlight.

I agree, but it depends on the company who gets the contract. Companies that hustle make a lot more on the towing fees and may be more vigilant.

In Texas tow companies have to notify police before a tow if its a repo, and must be approved to, and notify the office if a vehicle was towed. There would be record of it one way or another, unless a fake tow truck looking to steal vehicles(known to happen) does it.

 

[Colorado303]

I believe video footage of vehicles entering and leaving the apartment complex will be the key to solving this case, this being very similar to the Cleo Smith abduction in Western Australia. Unfortunately it is painstaking and time consuming work and it may be some time before a suspect vehicle is identified much less located.

It seems local LE and FBI are still diligently reviewing video footage, unknown vehicles in the area etc. and I’m glad. But at the same time LE has come out and said they don’t believe she’s been abducted and more recently they don’t believe she met w/foul play. What scenario other than an abduction would involve strange vehicles and local business security footage?

Does LE really believe what they are saying or is the message specifically designed to reassure a suspect that they aren’t getting close?

How often (if ever) does LE deliberately misrepresent the state of an investigation? I know it’s common to say their primary suspect is not a suspect, but to me that’s very different from saying there was no crime when they are pretty darn sure there was.

Okay interesting. Got a DM from @901Lulu that she + @Moms4Missing conducted an interview with a close friend of Lina Khil's family. Friend says Lina is actually 5, and that it's common for immigrants to misreport ages for financial child support reasons. PD has not confirmed this

yea I believe this. I was saying previously in the thread that factual documentation from
Place of birth is extremely rare. I’ve only ever seen people from that country with loosely, if at all documented births, ages etc..... any documents they came over with would have just been them saying whatever.

 

[MysteriousNoblewoman]

There has been released a photo of Lina in the same red dress she dissapeared in. In the photo, that was taken in Afghanistan before they fled in 2019, she looks to be around 2-3 years old. Definitely not at max 10 months old which is the oldest she could be before they left for the US, because she’s sitting up, has very long hair and all upper and lower teeth. It baffles me they won’t correct her age in such a critical time, but they’re probably scared of the backlash and legal troubles they could face for telling the government a wrong age.

I believe it too, as the height/weight was nowhere near that of a 3 year old girl. My only question was why this was wrong (if it was miscommunication or if it was explained by something else).

This would explain it.

yea I don’t know how to take it either. Thats why I started to consider what else could have happened and while I dont see a coyote or wildlife taking her far away, or at all, I also dont see her just walking off and getting very far and then thats it. So my guess is they are saying it in hopes it will loosen lips. I dont know though really. USAA is right there and completely fenced but could she have gotten on those grounds? There’s a pond, and I have always seen animals on those grounds. Cant recall if I saw that they checked much over there.

yep. Im a retired veteran, spent 4.5 years in the middle east as well as other time spent interacting with refugees from this country and the middle east in general. Im not in the least surprised on the discrepancies of her age and weight. Its a sad unfortunate thing

also, as a side though, her being 2-4 makes the idea of wildlife more plausible than say 5-6. Weight and all that. This is just me speaking out loud right now.

 

[Ozoner]

Incorrect. A coyote can jump a 6ft fence with up to 25lbs. Here is an article of a coyote, a single coyote dragging a 6 year old boy a few feet before the dad stopped it. Had the dad not stopped it, the coyote surely would of taken the boy further. Not saying miles but far enough.

6-Year-Old Boy Bit And Dragged By Coyote At Neighborhood Playground

Lina's weight is listed as 55 lbs.

In the article you cited, the coyote dragged the boy three feet.

I'm sure that a coyote could have dragged Lina three feet, leaving drag marks and blood evidence and eliciting screams from her that everyone nearby would have heard.

Again, that's not the same as make a child vanish without a trace. Coyotes can't do that.

 

[MysteriousNoblewoman]

Do we know how far along Linas mother is in her pregnancy and what gender she’s expecting?

 

[Scrapper18]

I think my biggest issue with a coyote, or other animal, attack is the lack of blood. I would think LE would have found blood somewhere. If LE is claiming they do not suspect foul play (up thread a few posts), that leads me to believe they did not find blood evidence. JMO/MOO

right. Also, as I stated before I would figure dogs would hit on that surely. Another issue is her weight, cannot be considered factual due to admitted misrepresentation of her age also.

my thoughts are based on the close proximity to USAA and the tanglewood area of which I
Used to live and remember seeing coyotes. The fact that her age and weight have been misinterpreted. And lastly that with all the resources having been utilized and nothing yet, I tried to think outside the norm.
Simply just an idea that has at least some possibility to it. If it were an attack, i would absolutely figure there to be some evidence though.

Wouldn’t you probably refrain from saying you expect foul play when you’re dealing with a pregnant grieving mother and father, even if you do suspect it - just to keep hope alive so they will keep eating, sleeping and you know.. just try to survive
