WA WA - Sky Metalwala, 2, Bellevue, 6 Nov 2011 - #14

[wenwe4]

I wonder why they chose the Kingsgate P&R - I mean, why the P&R? I gather this is near where SM lives... I used to live in the condos right next door (many years ago). This is not especially close to where Julia lived, or to the Bellevue locations we've heard discussed. Oh, how I wish she would break down and just tell what happened.

I've always wondered why this P&R is called Kingsgate, too - there's a housing development called Kingsgate but it's a ways to the east.

PrincessPJs, when did you graduate? My son went to Juanita in the '90s!

(Recap of today's search just came on KING news as I'm typing - spokesman says no specific info or leads brought them here...it was just a stone they didn't want to leave unturned. Hmmmm, call me skeptical. It seems pretty random.)

ETA: I need to learn to read; I see you all covered this stuff upthread! So the search was actually at the park? Still not thinking this is random...

"In fact, one of the places searched was Kingsgate Park, directly next to the house where the boy's father Solomon Metalwala is staying with his brother. The park is approximately 10 blocks from the park and ride and on the opposite side of Interstate."

BBM - Did you live on the same side as SM's brother or across the interstate from there?

In this article they referece "Totem Lake" . . .

"Multiple law enforcement agencies converged on the Totem Lake Park and Ride in Kirkland and used the site as a base of operations on Saturday morning around 8 a.m. to search an area familiar to the family of the boy. This is the second time authorities have searched in Kirkland for the boy. Bellevue and Kirkland police searched Watershed Park near 520 on Nov. 19."

Totem Lake is the neighborhood name for the area there.

So, here is something that crossed my mind today...If Julia passed Sky off to a relaive because she could not handle raising him and did not want SM to have him, the only thing she could be charged with is filing a false police report. SHe has sole custody and can make whatever living arrangements she wants to. I know way think this is ok, but another reason she could be remaining silent. She and SM never reached a visitation or custody agreement, so in she and her attorney's eyes she can only be charged with what I mentioned.
...

I don't believe she did that at all. It appears she is very attached to her daughter and she lost custody of that daughter after Sky went missing.

IMO, if people do not confess in the initial stages of an investigation, they are not going to do so later on. Once they have dug in their heels, they will tend to ride it out and keep their mouths shut or stick to their stories. I don't think we will see any resolution coming by way of a parent in this case, or Lisa's case, or other cases with a parent/family member POI. JMO

Sometimes people do confess later on (months or years later). It had happened in some cases.

 

[wenwe4]

We're baaack. We drove by the park first and there was one reporter there taping a segment in an unmarked news truck. (It reminded me of Murt in the FCA days.) Anyway, there was not a single car or LE there at all. So we drove by the Park & Ride. The Search and Rescue truck was there along with 6 or 7 LE SUVs and a couple of LE cars. We didn't see any searches going on and couldn't tell if they had searched through the wooded areas or not.

Our thoughts are that the either used the Park & Ride as a meeting place and then shuttled searchers to/from the Park from there (because there is no parking lot for the park as it is in a residential area) or they didn't search the Kingsgate park at all and just stayed at the Park & Ride.

Is what you saw consistent with the picture of the search & rescue vehicle shown in the Redmond - reporter news article? Does the info given in the article provide you with more information with where the search might have taken place?

Do I agree with this...He** no!!! Wasting resources and putting people through anguish is sick, disgusting, and immoral.

I am curious to know the truth and I think of Sky often. I pray he is alive and well somewhere as I do all children who have disappeared. I cannot understand what this world has come to and the evilness in it.

She has legal "custody" of the children according to court documents, but the very act of giving her child away would be giving up the physical custody of the child. She can keep the care and custody of their children but she is not solely legally able to give the "care and custody" of the child(ren) to someone else besides their Paternal Father. Especially when the Bio-Dad is contesting the court action to have his children placed with her. IOW . . . she has court approval to "keep" the children but she does not have court approval to "give" the child(ren) away to someone other than their Father. Furthermore, if she did that and collected the child support for those children, it would be considered fraud - as the money is for the care of the children and it is to follow the children.

I can't see Julia handing Sky off to another person/family member. She never had a bond with him like she does with M. If she was protecting her kids from SM's 'abuse,' she would have hidden M. It wouldn't make sense for her to protect Sky, but not little M.

I fully believe she knows the father has not been abusing the kids. Because she'd never want the father to get custody of M, like she asked for him to get custody of M through her lawyer.

 

[pferrin]

Where could she have put Sky??

Somewhere that she didnt have to get dirty.
Somewhere not too far away.
Somewhere she would not be noticed.
Somewhere she may not be recognized..especially like in the recent pics.
Somewhere she could put him and he would not be readily seen.
Somewhere familiar to her.

I keep thinking that somewhere close to their business

OR close to...
as julia put it.."their million dollar house"

 

[danisisa]

A man hole. Any near her?

I agree with all you state above -- great delineation of possibilities! It's possible she put him somewhere she might have gotten dirty. Her "at-home" OCD behaviors might not all have applied to the outside environment. But, it's equally possible some of them did and she avoided dirt. Just wanted to put forth the possibility that she did get her hands dirty a little.

 

[tlcya]

If something did happen and Sky is not alive (my belief) then the mere act of disposing of him would have been a horrific trigger for her OCD IMO. Can you imagine, being ruled by a need for clean and germ freeness, and then having to handle your child's corpse??

I agree, that alone was probably enough to be difficult. The rest of the disposal would more than likely involve not getting any "dirtier". Then again, the mere act of handling a corpse may have been so distasteful that any further "contamination" such as dirt or mud etc may have seemed like nothing compared to that.

ie. I am contaminated already, so let's just get done what needs doing and then I will go home and spend hours and hours decontaminating myself.

I had not thought of the logistics for someone such as JB to accomplish disposal. My wheels are turning now.

 

[Shelby2]

I think she'd get charged with more than filing a false police report- or at least she would have to make restitution for all the money LE has spent on this, wouldn't she? Also they were involved in a mediation regarding custody, where she was told she could not travel to Scottsdale with the children, or take them out of the country.

[Shelby2]

tlcox-sorry I can't quote from here. I am not convinced that she would have had a problem disposing of him- only that she would have wanted him 'out of her house.'
It doesn't seem like she was a germaphobe-she didn't seem to mind cleaning, but felt it was something she 'had to do'. Maybe she would not even be put off by having to clean up a mess-it's what she did best. She probably thought she could successfully clean anything, even something as terrible as that.

 

[tlcya]

Or somewhere close to SM's house.

true. that might be worth getting dirty for even. Lot of spite in JB.

Hi Wenwe4 - Yes, these vehicles were at the Park & Ride when we drove in to look and turn around. Then, to the right of the vans/trucks the LE SUVs were parked side by side in the parking spots along with a few LE cars mixed in.

 

[etkay]

Or somewhere close to SM's house.

I hope they checked her DVR - if she got the idea to leave the car with Sky in it from SVU, stands to reason she'd get the idea for how to dispose a body in the same way. Specifically from some show where the body was never found - those writers can be very imaginative.

State Gets Hundreds of Messages Supporting Reunion of Sky Metalwala's Sister and Father

http://kirkland.patch.com/articles/...eunion-of-sky-s-metalwala-s-sister-and-father

I'm praying hard that Solomon and M are reunited tomorrow after the custody hearing.

 

[pferrin]

I keep thinking about the shoes she bought..If she got her shoes dirty..while getting rid of Sky..then he would be somewhere not too far from shopping.

She had familiarity with shopping....she would have gone to the closest shopping center to get new shoes..feeling dirty.
