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

"He said the girl's parents were cooperating, but there was initially a language barrier because the mother speaks an uncommon Arabic dialect. "Their state is what you might expect for parents whose child has been missing for some time," McManus said."

So strange. If she really was playing with a group of other kids, I wonder if any of them saw something? But I would think they would know by now if one of them was able to say "Lina was here, but ran off" or "Lina was here, but someone took her", etc. But news sources I've read have all said there were no witnesses.

Sherin Mathews vibes anyone? Could Lina's larger than normal size be due to a disability or medical condition? Could she also have been adopted and her true age is slightly older than what it is thought to be?

Oh my goodness Sherin was the first thing that came to my mind. I grew up in Richardson and will never forget this tragedy. Also there was another case where the child was abducted in a complex by one of the workmen there. He took her to an empty apartment. They arrested him very quickly and within a few days he took his own life. All these missing children...it's heart breaking.

Perhaps this language issue would explain the physical description being a bit off, mainly her height and weight. I would hope the age would be easier to verify.

Oh why do children go missing so quickly!
Beautiful little one come back sAfe!

What? Four feet tall? At three years old? That must be a mistake, doesn’t seem possible but anyway OMG not another toddler missing ... I just can’t ... MOO

There is a very distinct pattern I have noticed when height/weight statistics are way off base in missing children cases.

There’s no way this little girl weighs 55 lbs unless that picture is very old.

I'm glad the FBI got involved very quickly & that all officials seem to be taking it very seriously, hopefully, that means she'll be found soon!! Praying for her & her family, that's just so terrifying

FBI involved

SAPD, FBI Searching After 3-Year-Old Disappeared From Northwest Side Playground

McManus said that police and the FBI are searching all of the units and vehicles at the apartment complex and the investigation is utilizing “every available asset in the police department.”

Police believe she is in grave or immediate danger.

If you have seen Lina or know where she is, call the SAPD at 210-207-7660.


FBI got involved quick. Wonder if it's because it's such a tender aged child. Leads me to believe this is more complex than a noncustodial dispute. Where are you sweetie pea?

FBI will get involved immediately if the local law enforcement requests it, which it sounds like they did.

It looks like LE is doing an awesome job exploring all avenues of investigation.

Prayers she is found safe. Her teeth look unusual, so maybe that will help witnesses spot her.

I wonder how long the family has been in the US and if Lina speaks and understands English.

A few more details. Her family are refugees from Afghanistan. Her mother was with her and others at the playground at the complex, when her mother left for a short time. Lina was missing when her mother returned.

This could change things and certainly might explain bringing in the FBI so fast. Is it possible this family is purposely being retaliated against due to things that they were involved in in Afghanistan?

oh no they are refugees

 

[cvaldez1975]

There are also new Afghan refugees over there too.

I can't figure out her name. but it is South Asian. I hope she isn't a little Afghan refugee....(Most Indians/Pak/Bangladesh speak some English and they may not need a translator)
I just hope she isn't a little Afghan refugee.

So sad this is happening right before Christmas....

she is a little refugee

or just for being from Afghanistan and assumptions that people make. Goodness, I hope they find her hiding somewhere, completely safe.

Not another one.

This poor sweet girl. This is a mother’s nightmare. You think they’re safe, they’re in your apartment complex, other people are there, you think you can leave for a minute to grab something you forgot, take a phone call…and just like that, your little one is gone. Our kids aren’t safe.
I watch my littles like a hawk. I can’t help it. I read about too many tragedies.

 

[TxLady2]

Beautiful little girl, I hope she is safe and can return home soon.

Regarding the mother leaving for a few minutes, it is possible she had to use the restroom.

 

[Lillymac]

she is a little refugee

Have they reported if she could speak English or not??

 

[passionflower]

It's not. Most of the apartments on that stretch of Fredericksburg are sketchy.
