Another one where the story doesn't quite add up: 2-year-old boy Sky Metalwala said to be missing from the car after mother and 4-year-old went for gas:

I read last night that the mom doesn't want to take a polygraph test (of course!) and the dad claims that her story doesn't add up.

Which kind of mother leaves a 2 yo behind in her car alone and gives the excuse that "she didn't want to wake him up"?

Another precious child lost

It takes a lot for me to suspect the parents in missing child cases. I don't *think* baby lisas parents are involved. Heck I didn't even want to beleive caset anthony was guilty at first..(although I did in the end)...but this seems fishy even to me!

But who knows...

Common denominators with other stories: lots of dysfunction. The parents had previously each served a year of probation for reckless endangerment for.... leaving Sky (at age 3 months) alone in a car for 55 minutes on a 27-degree day.

The timing of this disappearance is a bit too coincidental, too:

"Sky's disappearance came amid a bitter divorce and custody fight between Biryukova and the boy's father, Solomon Metalwala. At a mandatory mediation session last week, the parties reached a tentative agreement that would allow Metalwala to have some visitation with Sky and his older sister, said Metalwala's lawyer" "The divorce case has been marked by back-and-forth protection orders. She accused her husband of beating her and the children; he alleged she had severe psychiatric problems that endangered them"

there is a thread here on the community board about this case. I'm to tired to go look for it

OMG, this never ends, what is it with these parents. I feel so sorry for the children and feel sick every time I hear of a new case. Poor baby Lisa, her case seems to be growning cold.

Oh, nice. Did any of you see the TV episode of Law and Order that aired the previous night that this incident was apparently patterned after?

More crazy details here, including inconclusive polygraph tests on the father, the mother leaving the kids alone during the divorce settlement mediation, a ransom note....

The mother's story is continuing to fall apart (this may not be the most objective source, but it contains some disturbing details):

Update:

2-year-old is still missing, father accuses mother of hiding the child:

Meanwhile, the sister has been reunited with the father after being with CPS for a while:

Mother has refused polygraph testing.

"Sky Metalwala's disappearance remains a mystery. Biryukova has not spoken with investigators, except through her lawyer, since the day she reported the boy missing. Nor has she appeared in public to urge Sky's return or to ask the public for help in finding him."
