I do however hope someone had one or something similar in this case. The way this complex sounds someone would just rip it down or off though.

 

[Guess Who]

It could be but you'd maybe be surprised at some of the regulations depending on the complex. My sister just moved into one and wow, the rules amaze me compared to our rules. Same state, different town but not all that far but maybe an hour or 45 minutes. I would about bet they could not put anything up or outside their door.

yep. lots of places wouldn't let that be there, but mostly because of "aesthetics". Something tells me that place is not one of those.

I don't think it is but then again would anyone put one up that might get ripped down by some other person wandering the hallways, etc. the way this complex sounds?

I guess it doesn't matter as we just all hope there was such a thing to help with this case but even then do the doors enter a hall or is there an outside door that would have a ring doorbell? I'd have to look at the pics again. Where I am at, the only outside door is the patio door, which is typical and on a floor other than ground level there wouldn't be much point, and even at ground level, it would be the secondary door, not the one for entry. I'm not sure if they were ground or second, just that it was 40 feet away from where she was allegedly. I would put one if I had one on the entry door to see who is at your door and that would be put towards an interior hallway if I did so. I can't think of any apartments I know of where entry to the unit is from an outside door.

I've seen a lot of interior hallway doors with ring type devices on them. Most of them use them to either know when a delivery is made and/or who is at their door. It's also amazing what else they capture that most people don't think about it in the periphery instead of just what it appears it's looking at. One friend caught somebody stealing a neighbors package that was a few doors down and across the hall, but you could see what happened even though it wasn't directly across.

Has anyone checked for RSO's in this area?

Yeah, I agree but I"m saying the child went missing likely from the outside and other side of where an interior door/hallway would be. That's what is claimed anyhow to my knowledge. The interior cameras would do no good for seeing the child outside on the other side of the units, no matter who had them up on their interior inward facing doors, they wouldn't show the outside.

 

[GrandmaBear]

I think I saw it early on and I want to say on Linda's show but I could be wrong. Like any case, there are enough in a how many mile radius. I can't swear it was on this case but I"m pretty sure. The other thing I saw was how many missing kids in San Antonio some are talking about AND recent even that is unknown. Not sure if that is true, internet hype or gossip or commenters or what. Some think this is a city with something going on....

According to Family Watchdog, there are 15 within one mile, 49 within 2 miles.
It does not appear that any are within her immediate apartment complex.
The closest registered offender's crimes are not against a child, but the next nearest 5 offenders have crimes against children.
Of course, this does not take into account any unregistered or un-caught offenders.

It's the uncaught ones I fear the most.

So, if LE has video of Lina then they can see who was around her at the same time, correct?

Sorry, this one is bothering me quite a bit.

 

[Kimster]

What is anyone's opinion here on this case? Other than of course it is likely it is or was someone who lives in the complex, etc. I know we don't have much info but does anyone think the cops do have a suspicion, they did say they are looking at a few, etc. Do we think they have anything at all? Does anyone feel it may be the parents? I don't think that or have any reason to think so one way or the other. The father was quite upset, I will say that. A stranger abduction?

I think although she or her remains may have been taken elsewhere, that the answer lies in the complex and someone there is responsible most likely but that's all I have and it is just the likelihood based on what little we do know.

I would like to know if the mother thought others were watching her or if the mother had her eye on her from where she was, etc. or why she did not go right back out. Did she trust she was okay and being watched? Sad as it may be, sometimes people or a young parent can be too trusting or just naive. Hindsight teaches. Scares teach. Coming from a different world or generation of when things were safer and different can have one feeling people are decent and things are safe, etc.

This one bothers me. They all do of course.

I’m also leaning toward Stranger abduction.

I'm hopeful that they do have some video. But they haven't confirmed.

My line of thinking is that they got a majority of their timeline by thoroughly interviewing people. Lina's mom could have said that she knows she returned to the apartment at X time because she looked at the microwave time while getting a glass of water. (I'm not saying she said this, just speculating.) Someone could have said they know Lina was there at X time because they saw her, then they received a text message (time stamped).

I'm curious whether or not they have found and interviewed everyone who was in the area yet. A day or two after she disappeared, they said they had not yet spoken with everyone. That's a bit concerning.

Bag of bones found in search for Lina, not related to little girl​

On Thursday, San Antonio Police Chief McManus announced the discovery of a bag of bones while searching in a field for missing three-year-old Lina Khil. McManus emphasized the bones are not related to the little girl.

McManus explained that a volunteer group found a bag of bones but it was not clear if the bones were from a human or animal.

He said the bones were 'very very old' and not related to Lina. No other information was provided.

"There's nothing on this scene related to missing Lina," McManus said.

The bones will be taken to the medical examiner's office for further evaluation, McManus said.

Father joins volunteer search groups to find missing daughter

Lina Sardar Khil’s father walked alongside volunteers from the Afghan community to try and find his daughter reported missing ten days ago.

www.kens5.com

The search area included wooded areas along Bluemel Road, less than a mile away from the Villas Del Cabo apartment complex where Lina Khil was last seen.

Colleagues would show Khil’s father photos of items they found like blankets or clothing that might be Lina’s, but so far the search has been unsuccessful.

The father and his friends say right now they are focused on doing all they can to find his daughter.
Pamela Allen leads a non-profit called Eagles Flight and has been assisting Lina’s family in various ways and helped with organizing the search efforts.

“Thank God we’ve earned their trust to be able to come in. I’ve been able to sit with the family and bring them some supplies they’ve needed. The father’s not working right now so we’re supporting them in any way we can. But for them to say, we feel we’re not alone, that’s a good feeling,” Allen said.

Where are you Lina?

 

[SheWhoMustNotBeNamed]

Nothing really in the news today. I know they're continuing investigating and searching, and I know it's a weekend, and a holiday weekend at that, but I hate it when they fade from the public eye.


On a side note, I really do think Lina is older than 3. This photo of her in the red dress, that she was said to be wearing when she disappeared, shows her in Afghanistan. The family was in Afghanistan until 2019. Lina appears (to me) to be around 2-3 in this photo. The photo on the right shows Lina in 2019, again appearing age 2-3.

Also, her birthdate that would make her 3 now would be in 2018. NCMEC lists it as February 2018. Meaning she would be 18 months old in the photo on the right. Doesn't look right to me? Maybe 2.5, but not 1.5.
Also interesting to note that the FBI poster does NOT list her age/DOB as they do for all other missing persons.



I really think she would be closer to 4-5 now.
There are many reasons for refugees to report their children as younger than their true age. I'm not blaming them for that. But I really think people should be looking for a child older than 3.
Not sure why I'm bringing this up. Knowing her exact age doesn't help find out what happened to her. But if it would help someone remember that they might not have been seeing a child who looks 3...

Not to mention her height and weight on the poster is more like a 5 or 6 year old at least.

 

[GrandmaBear]

Linda of It's a Crime mentioned this in her first video on this case, the age thing, and people looking for a 3 year old when she looks older and hoping it doesn't affect a tip if someone saw her but thought who they saw was the wrong age.

Quite honestly, the picture in Afghanistan looks like she could even be older than 3, the one in the red dress, or at least to the strong side of 3... Her hair is very long and she has lost much of the baby look that they seem to hold until 2 or 3 through the face. If I had to guess in which photo she is youngest, I would pick the one with the striped shirt out of the four. In none of them does she look as young as 2 to me, not a young 2 anyhow.

Either way, the important thing is she gets found. Honesty about her age would help. It is attempted to be explained by people saying they don't track age or record births but I'm sorry, a mother knows when her child was born or at least their number of years at that young of age age surely?

This is total speculation on my part but is this their child and not a niece, friend's, etc.? I don't know how it works with say refugees versus immigrants, amnesty and all of the other various situations/laws re each but I do know it has been said and there are cases where if you have a child, you are apt to be offered sanctuary, etc. as opposed to someone who doesn't have a child/ren. I don't have a lot of reason for wondering and I am only wondering but I recall his remark of thinking she might be with another family... If a big related family group wanted to move here or flee from there, a child or two might have been put with each. It is just a thought and I won't take it any further, just total speculation on my part. Either way we have a missing child in danger and that's what matters.

It also makes little sense to me though that a dress she was wearing a couple of years ago would be said to be the same dress she is in now. Children grow like "weeds" as we all know/very rapidly at that age and it seems very unlikely.

 

[GrandmaBear]

Also a child who is 3 versus one who is 5, 6 or older has different skill levels and likelihoods of what they would do, where they would go, what would attract them, knowledge of dangers and coping skills, etc. imo.

Here is a pretty solid Youtuber who does fairly regularly reports on this case.

I will come back to add link, I had the wrong one.

Here he is, just putting put one video here, he has a few on it.
