I was tempted to call the complex, pretend to be a prospective renter and ask about security provided. But, I didn't.

Unless they find Sky, it looks like she could be facing five years maximum.

ETA: Unless they can somehow state that his disappearance is considered great bodily harm, then she could get up to 10, but I don't think they can stretch that.

If they find evidence of death but no body, they can charge her with murder. I've become a bit obsessed with that no body murder site. We have cases here at WS where convictions are obtained despite no body being found. IIRC most are 2nd degree murder convictions.

Here is one such case here at WS. 4 year old Ashley LaShay Jones has never been recovered but her aunt was convicted of 2nd degree murder in her death.

I'm positive LE is testing those swabs for evidence of death which likely occured in the car or apartment. JMO

I read a quote in an article that LE gave stating mom has admitted to leaving the children alone at different times. Here's one:

Johnson said Biryukova acknowledged having a history of leaving the children home alone for extended periods of time. Police know whether she did so during the lengthy mediation – but they won't release that information, Johnson said. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/11/10/julia-biryukova-mom-of-missing-boy_n_1086033.html



I am so frustrated and sick. How many of these cases do we have when we know someone close to the child has answers and can lead LE to the child, but won't? Kyron Horman, Haleigh Cummings, Baby Lisa, Hailey Dunn, Aliayah Lunsford, Gabriel Johnson, Hassani Campbell, Baby Kate, etc. etc.

I used to think these cases were totally solvable. That someone would locate the child and someone would got to prison. Now it feels that there is a new one every couple months and I realize how easy it is to kill a child and dispose of their little body, where no one is likely to find them. It is very distressing to watch their cases heat up with activity and then watch their threads dry up as information disappears.

It is so very frustrating. When I try and imagine how these perps are disposing of their victims I cannot think of how they are doing so. It seems like a dead child would be easily found. But in reality, it is like a needle in a haystack. Especially if you look at all of the wilderness area around Washington for example. A child is very small and easily overlooked.

Yes, that's true. But I don't know what they will find in the home or car of a frantic cleaner with OCD. They need evidence of some kind of bodily harm to Sky before they can even charge her with a Class B felony, allowing for a possible sentence of even up to 10 years. Thus far, I think they only have the evidence for charges leading to a sentence of up to 5 years.

 

[Cubby]

I still cannot believe she would leave a 4 yr old in charge of a 2 yr old--for 11 hours! I wouldn't leave a teen alone for 11 hours. That is ridiculous. She should be in jail right now for that behavior alone. imoo

Based on this afternoons presser I have a feeling she will be arrested Monday or early this coming week.

[KivaSupporter]

I don't know that she directly admitted to leaving the kids alone - but since they can't locate anyone who has seen Sky in the last two weeks, by deduction, you realize there wasn't a babysitter for that 12 hour period.

What if, and I am just speculating, there was a babysitter such as her mother or someone close to her? What if the children's mother did medicate the children and something happened during the time she was absent? Not premeditated, not intended, perhaps an accident? Is it possible she is not willing to talk to LE in order to protect the babysitter?

MOO

I know. There are so many places they could stash a small body and the brush grows up so quickly. And there are so many water ways. Although bodies placed in water do have a tendency to surface, even if weighed down.

I cannot fathom ANY mother protecting anyone in a scenario like this. It just doesn't make sense.

I'd be happy with 5 years if she doesn't fess up. It's better than nothing and she won't fair well in prison in the GP. I'd think the conditions and other inmates would cause her to go bonky with that OCD.

In fact I think a few nights in jail, with everyone sharing a common toilet would be enough to send her over the edge.

Good Evening,

Can anyone tell me if JB works outside the home? Is there a credit card trace?

 

[ClassyT]

At least one person believes her story:

[Cubby]

Finally caught up. I didn't see the following posted yet.

* Investigators have been able to narrow the time period of interest to them. Sky was last seen by a person other than Biryukova two weeks before he was reported missing. Johnson said police have been able to narrow that two-week window of interest, though he declined to offer more specifics.

Her facebook says she is a full time mom. I can only assume its alimony. Which is one of the reasons my thinking all the problems with these two are financially related.

I understood he owns a small business of some kind, and seem to recall him saying he had to take time away from it to take the children somewhere to eat. It must have been a nightmare to try to run a business and attempt to appease her "problems" at the same time. The economy taking a nosedive in the past few years wouldn't help either.

Good Evening,

Welcome to WS bbb28 :welcome:

JB is a SAHM according to her FB page. We don't know if she has a credit or debit card. She probably does though, most people do.

They can tell her, we need to know everything you can offer us to find him. If you go to jail for five years and hes found you wont be there for him. He will in all likelyhood go to his dad. You will miss that time with him. And wait for a reaction...

I suppose anything is possible. But it's strange, in so many of these cases where mom is the obvious suspect, I see a lot of people going straight to accidental drugging deaths or selling the child, hiding him or her, while I always go straight to physical abuse leading to death or intentional smothering, strangling, drowning, etc.

I really think most of the parents of these missing kids don't accidentally kill them. I think they either intentionally do so or it resulted from extreme physical abuse.

I read that we have about 2000 fatalities of children per year, due to abuse and neglect. More than one third of the deaths in 2009 were due to multiple forms of maltreatment, which I suppose would be abuse and neglect. A third or so were due to outright neglect and around 25% due to physical abuse alone: http://www.childwelfare.gov/pubs/factsheets/fatality.cfm

But most of those cases are reported in some manner quickly to the authorities. These cases we are discussing are not reported. Why? I kind of feel like the reason is that in most of these cases, the children were murdered intentionally or died as a result of intensive physical abuse and the parents do not want to be charged with murder. So they hide the body, the evidence and refuse to talk.

Is this the apartment where JB lives?
If so, I believe LE would have video footage of Sky coming and going at least during the 24 hour period before he was "kidnapped" (or proof he was not with mom at that time maybe?)
I bet there are security cameras ALL OVER that complex...

Oh my gosh!
So....when do we get to see the videos....I can't wait!!!!

Imo, she knows he is deceased so that won't work. She's more interested in saving her azz and hoping for the best. This is day 7! She REFUSES to talk to police. What parent, if she really did not know what happened to him, would not meet with police with their attorney?

I'm begining to consider the possibility her family knows due to their silence. If my grandchild, niece or nephew were missing, I'd be all over the media pleading for that childs parent to cooperate with LE. WHY aren't the maternal family doing so?

I can promise if my child were missing and I was not cooperating with LE my family, my childs Godparent, would be all over the media.

The B family silence and lack of concern for Sky baffles me.

 

[ClassyT]

Oh my gosh!
So....when do we get to see the videos....I can't wait!!!!

If it were that simple they would have looked at the day she said he disappeared and see if she carried him out for the hospital or not. Its sort of making me nuts to think about. The child had to leave that complex at some point and I am anxious to know when he was last seen in video and what his condition was.

I have a feeling shes told her parents she thinks her exhusband took him to punish HER and hes threatened to hurt her if they speak out. Its nature to defend our kids but in this case I hope they get their facts from a reliable source. Not their daughter.

I'm inclined to think there aren't surveillance videos that capture everyone coming and going from the complex, or the parking garage, otherwise there would be something to narrow the two-week gap.
