The woman in the photo's is a blonde. Julia's mom has been in other photo's and she has dark hair like Julia's brother with a little bit of gray. Julia's mom is also thin like her daughter.

I think this person in the most recent picture is a friend of Julia's, or perhaps a friends parent?

I think this is her friend S*e

she is listed as doing one of the declarations for julia.

 

[~n/t~]

who knows, the truth is sometimes stranger than fiction.

He was very uncomfortable talking about the "commode" story. He seemed as if he didn't want to discuss it in the least.

To me it seemed like he was trying to remember what he had said about the commode story. I think he forgot. I didn't sense uncomfortable or embarrassed at all.

Like I said before, there's something about him I don't like and I'm not sure what yet. He just gives me this uneasy feeling when I watch and listen to him.

Is the dad a liar?

Those pics I believe were taken at her mom's house. JB only had a problem with dirtying her own house with the mess of feeding her children. :crazy:

 

[Cubby]

Is Julia IN any of these pictures? Do we even know that she TOOK them?

Since they are not eating in their own home, how do we know the kids were not at a friends house?
The friends who so strongly defended her easily could have taken pictures to also refute what was being said.

If she is not actually IN the pictures then I wonder if she was even there....
(Not saying it's odd she's not in the pictures, just saying if she's not, we have no way of knowing if she took them.)

Is it relevant who took them? Regardless of who took them, JB* uploaded them and JB* chose these particular shots to upload while umpteen resources are out desperately and frantically searching for HER missing baby boy.

eta * - or someone very close to her whom she would entrust with her password to this flickr account.

I refer to my Grandpa to my children as Grandpa Jack. If I said grandpa *last name* then they would think I was talking about my dad. Same thing with my mom I refer to her as Nana Jeanne not Nana *last name* but to confuse you more I call my mother-in-law as Nana *Last name* and father-in-law Papa *last name* MOO

Oh, that makes total sense! But I believe the woman in the photos is just a friend of JB's (not related at all) so I think it's strange to refer to her as "grandma". Then again, so much of what JB does I find strange!

The search for Sky is also getting help from Mark Klass whose daughter, Polly, was kidnapped and murdered in 1993. Klass has offered his advice on how the family should proceed in the coming days and weeks.

In response to:

Biryukova’s brother told Quinlan he didn’t know what he could do to help in the search for his nephew.

I certainly understand a family of the missing being unfamiliar with and not knowing what to do when a family member goes missing. I find it hard to believe a premed student would be unable to grasp the concepts being offered by advocates with personal experience such as Mark Klaas.

Now that this offer has been extended to Sky's family it will be telling if they were unable or are unwilling to participate in seeking answers to Sky's disappearance.

JMO

If they refuse, it will tip me over the fence for sure!

Yay Marc! :rocker:

 

[Cubby]

I find it strange that JB refers to one of her friends as "grandma S**". http://www.flickr.com/photos/metalwala/sets/72157625117122673/ I assume this is the same person who assisted with JB's declarations.

I'm familiar with parents referring to close friends of theirs as "Auntie" or "Uncle" in front of the kids, but not "grandma". Given JB's strained relationship with her own mother, maybe S** was like a surrogate mother for her? Still weird though as the kids had two blood-related grandmothers living nearby.

My son has three grandma's. His bio maternal and paternal grandma's and my step mom, his step grandmother. We refer to each of them as Grandma (name) so the Grandma "S" does not strike me as unusual.

ETA: It is possible the woman in the newest photo's is JB's step mom, and her childrens step grandma, so they refer to JB's dads wife as Grandma S. These may be photo's taken with step grandma when her dad and his wife visted from oversea's.

ITA. It is also troublesome that this father was so submissive and apparently let this woman totally rule the roost when he was still living at home. She told him when he and the children could come in the house. Required him to take them out of the house to eat meals after depriving them of food for most of the day. And wouldn't even let him use the toilet?! :maddening: He was the man of the house, and these were his children. :waitasec: Why he did not stand up to this she-monster is very disturbing, IMO.

He wasn't doing anyone....including JB any favors the longer he let it go on. I would need to be told only once that the kids hadn't eaten and won't until I picked them up, couldn't use my own bath or bedroom, or come into the house until a certain time of night---just because someone has a problem with it. The next day she would have been at the Dr's. I'd call BS....real fast.

 

[gitana1]

She sent them emails? OK...that is the most bizarre article.

ETA: Is she fluent in English?

Wow I agree - very bizarre. Especially, IMO, in the way it rings of total selfishness, an "it's all about poor me" attitude.

Pretty revealing. I have been wondering about JBs parents and the way in which she was raised. Now it truly seems the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, huh?

This looks credible to me. I see some errors which appear to be consistent with English as a second language.

IMO, this shows me where JB got her 'it's all about me' attitude. I don't think anyone needed the 'whoa is me almost 2 decade history' of how difficult JB's mothers life has been. It's irrelevant to finding Sky. She spent ALL that time talking about herself and a single sentence about her grandson who is likely dead and decomposing somewhere due to her daughters choices. :furious:

I agree with all. VERY bizarre:

Nadia further wrote, “Here is just something to start with: my ex, brutally betrayed me for a young prostitute after 18 years of marriage. Shortly after we came to US with our two children, Julia 13 and Stanley 2 years old at the time, he decided to go back for more fun with his prostitute leaving me in the foreign land with our two children, without any relatives, friends and/or support of any kind. Although I was highly educated (I have MBA) and held a successful career back home in the Ukraine, I didn't know one word and/or letter in English at the time. It was most devastating, before the current one, time in my life! If the betrayal itself wasn't hard enough, the immigration, adjustment to new culture and language almost killed me... If I saw a light at the end of my tunnel it was an upcoming train! I suddenly realized that I was deaf, dumb, stupid, handicapped and basically good for nothing, but too ambitions to sweep the streets or wash someone else's toilets. I’ve been to hell and back! The only good outcome of the journey was the fact that I met Jesus on the way! I started learning the English alphabet in ESL (English as second language) classes and ended up with accounting degree and have been non-stop working ever since. I never took a vacation. I'm one dumb workaholic, who lives to work. I'm getting so sick of it and want to give up. My ex's brutal betrayal left me with hate for men up to now. I didn't have a man in my life ever since our divorce (15+ years ago) not necessary because I'm ugly, but because I didn't allow one to came close to me, although there were a few who tried. “

This is what a grandma writes when he baby grandson is missing? Who the heck cares? Weirdness may not end with Julia in that family.

I don't think he's a liar. There may have been martial issues and issues with the children that he probably has blown out of proportion for his own custody defense.

I don't believe the kids were starved nor do I believe the ridiculous "commode" story. Who puts up with that for 6 years or however long they were together? :innocent:

He did not put up with it for six years. He clearly stated in his declaration that the problems did NOT occur during the entire marriage but only in the last year and that the first five years were great. See page 5, para. 14 of his declaration: http://images.bimedia.net/documents/Decl+of+Solomon+Metalwala.pdf

I have a friend who takes pictures of her kids doing homework, eating, watching television, in the waiting room at the ER (when her daughter broke her wrist). And yes, she posts them on facebook. BTW, she's not alone. I've seen others also but not as obsessive as this friend. With Iphones, it's picture madness.

I won't even get into teens and the pictures they take.

Does your friend also upload photos to a flikr account after her child goes missing and after she refuses to speak further to the police or do a polygraph? After all the pleas of her ex-husband that she is very sick, along with details about that illness, and that the kids need to be protected, are made public? Photos that attempt to refute what her ex said before the child disappeared?

Wait a minute, these photos say they were taken 11 hours ago. I thought the 4 yo had been removed from her custody. Did I miss something???????:waitasec::waitasec::waitasec:

It's when they were uploaded, not taken, I believe.

Can someone with a faster loading computer tell if the most recently added grey and white stripped outfit is the same one from past photos?
Seems odd that Sky is so often in grey.

Have no idea what the meaning of that is- but my boys clothing tended towards dark blues or green.

I don't know but I notice that in that last batch of photos, Sky's familiar stripped suit is getting very small on him.

 

[SurfieTX]

I wonder where else JB has been posting today....Obviously she has access to a computer and the net.

 

[hollyblue]

Confirmation of contradicting the reclusive lifestyle statement. Kind of like taking a photo with a newspaper showing the date, imo.

Shaking my head at JB's life being lived in response to statements of others. Odd, very very odd.
jmo

It's her game Cubby. Inside her head and how she perceives things. imo

 

[Patty G]

IMO, the photo of Sky in the newly uploaded photos in the striped outfit is the same outfit on the day where Sky was in the photo with his mother. I think these are photos of the same day, however, recently uploaded.

 

[SurfieTX]

He wasn't doing anyone....including JB any favors the longer he let it go on. I would need to be told only once that the kids hadn't eaten and won't until I picked them up, couldn't use my own bath or bedroom, or come into the house until a certain time of night---just because someone has a problem with it. The next day she would have been at the Dr's. I'd call BS....real fast.

Some people are more assertive than others. Love does strange things. I've put up with a ton of stuff from my husband of 20 years...probably more than many would have if they were on the outside looking in.

BBM. and court documents, at least dads declaration, indicated he did try to get JB the professional help she needed prior to his filing for divorce.

I don't recall, or know how far in advance, but those doc's indicate while JB was hospitalized and seeking treatment he and his children lived at his parents house. This was prior to the date of him filing for divorce.

I think I recall it being 3 months, but I can't say for sure. It may have been months after witnessing his wifes resistance to treatment he finally made the decision divorce was the only answer to protect his children.

[Patty G]

I am not sure how I got to the point of the date when the recently uploaded pictures were taken, but I did find they were taken on June 15, 2011. Now if I can only figure out how i got there ... :crazy:

 

[marcyjoy]

It looks to me like there are some new photos with an upload date of Sept 5, 2011. I had read earlier that JB had asked how to make some photos private? I'm guessing she didn't want dad to see little sky and his growing up ... and to farther remove him from his son. So kept picture of him private from the public view.

This may have backfired though when all the public pictures are of M***** only and it appeared she showed favortism.

JMO...

 

[Cubby]

It's her game Cubby. Inside her head and how she perceives things. imo

Yes, and sadly a game she is playing while her baby boy is missing.

Let's see, what do I want to do today now that my child is missing? Call my attorney and request we both head down to police headquarters to assist in finding my son? Nah, I think I'll upload photo's to my flickr account to refute what others are saying about me or ask someone close to me to do so.

No doubt interesting choices being made by the 'mother' of a missing child.

 

[hollyblue]

go directly to the left (west) on 83rd behind the Qdoba and along the Sammamish river edge . . . if you grab the little person and drop him at the rivers edge, you can see a beautiful wood trellis bridge within just a few blocks of JB's Veloce apts. . . . has there been a search there?

Couldn't find the bridge, but all along that trail....I hope it's been searched. Only a few blocks from her apt.

OK, found it. The picture of M being held in the arms of the woman with the blonde hair with glasses and peach/coral blouse was taken: This photo was taken on June 15, 2011 using a Canon PowerShot SD770 IS.

As well as M with Sky in the stroller with Sky's little arm around M. M on the grass etc., etc.

I just kept going through the pictures Older etc., and then up pops the date the pictures were taken.

IF this has been noticed prior to my old eyes finding them, then I apologize for repeating this information

 

[sorrell skye]

But ya notice how they are never eating in their own home? Who takes pictures of eating pizza at Costco? Strange to me.

IMHO of course. :innocent:

I think many of the photos on JB's flickr account are strange, unless I put them into context of the divorce & custody battle.

IMO, these photos are JB's attempt to document & to attempt to refute SM's January 2011 declaration (in which he stated that she doesn't feed the children).

If I were a Judge, one of my questions would be: are these pics evidence of an ordinary day in the life of JB & the kids, or are these pics an attempt to portray a fictitious scenario?

Either way - how can this question be answered with any measure of certainty? A photo is one thing, but unless there are reliable witnesses to corroborate or refute the story these photos appear to be depicting, it's anyone's guess as to the truth of the matter.
