The mother of a missing 2-year-old did not show up for a custody hearing on Friday morning.
KING-5 reports Julia Biryukova’s lawyer was in court for a hearing regarding her daughter, 5-year-old Mailie, but Biryukova never showed up. The girl, sister to missing Sky Metalwala, is living with their father, Solomon.
Julie and Solomon have been in the midst of divorce proceedings since 2010. Friday’s hearing was aimed at finalizing the agreement to place Mailie in her father’s custody.
Mailie’s younger brother, Sky, was reported missing in November, 2011 when Biryukova told police she left the boy in his car seat to get help for her stalled car at a nearby gas station. Police later determined there was nothing wrong with Biryukova’s vehicle.
Solomon’s attorney tells KING-5 police told him they know of Biryukova’s whereabouts.
