According to a news release from Bellevue Police, police are focusing their efforts on the area surrounding the Redmond home of the boy's mother. Police searched her home, located in the 8000 block of 161st Avenue Northeast, and vehicle Sunday night and on Monday morning continued searching in the area surrounding the home.

The FBI, King County Search and Rescue, the Redmond Police Department and King County Guardian One Helicopter have all been involved in the search, according to Bellevue Police, and a Redmond Police command center was spotted at the downtown Redmond transit station earlier today.

Meanwhile, King County District Court documents obtained by Patch show the boy's parents were cited in 2009 for leaving a child in a car in Redmond. The case was dismissed after the parents agreed to a year of probation, parenting classes and community service.

The boy's parents, Julia Biryukova and Solomon Metalwala, began divorce proceedings in 2009, which included a protection order requested by Biryukova, who said that her husband threatened to kill her if she sought custody of their children, according to King County District Court documents obtained by Patch.

Bellevue Police have said both parents are cooperating in the investigation of the boy's disappearance.

Sky is half-Indian and half-white, brown eyes, dark buzz cut hair, with a dark green hooded sweatshirt, with blue and gray striped Carter pants. The attached picture is exactly what he is wearing when he went missing, according to the police.
