Family holds vigil for missing 2-year-old, Sky Metalwala

It’s now been more than 100 days since 2-year-old Sky Metalwala was reported missing, so family and friends held a vigil for the missing boy on Saturday afternoon.

The boy’s father, Solomon, invited the public to Downtown Bellevue Park on Saturday where the Search and Seek team united to remember the missing child. The Search and Seek group is made up of strangers who bonded over the story of the boy and the father’s commitment to find his missing son.

“We’ve got to get him home, we’ve got to get Sky home,” Search and Seek team member Jennifer Mau told King-TV on Saturday.

The investigation into Sky’s disappearance began when his mother reported him missing from the back seat of her car in Bellevue while she was gone for more than an hour getting gas.

There are no new leads or arrests in the case.
