Texas police continue to search for missing girl one year after she vanished
Officials say the now 4-year-old girl disappeared from a playground in the San Antonio area last December.
San Antonio police have released new video on the one-year anniversary of the disappearance of 3-year-old Lina Sardar Khil, showing the child at a playground where she was last seen before going missing.
Lina vanished from the playground of an apartment complex in the 9400 block of Fredericksburg Road on Dec. 20, 2021, the Texas Department of Public Safety and San Antonio Police Department have said.
On Tuesday, police released surveillance footage given to them by a resident of apartment complex showing Lina at the playground where she was with her mother and younger brother in the moments before her disappearance.
"At some point in the video she walked off the screen, and that was the last sighting that we have of her on video," Jeremy Volz, lead detective on the case, said in the video posted on the San Antonio Police Department’s social media.

Hundreds of police officers, detectives, and FBI agents were on the scene, knocking on doors, speaking with people, and canvassing the neighboring apartment complex without success, the detective said.
Investigators have received and followed up on hundreds of leads with the help of other law enforcement agencies, according to Volz.

Detective German Fuentes with SAPD’s Special Victims Unit called the circumstances of her disappearance suspicious, saying that "children don’t just vanish into thin air."
"To be honest, they are suspicious circumstances based on the child’s age, the fact that we have not found any evidence to indicate where she is at," Fuentes said in the video.
Fuentes continued: "There is a critical witness somewhere out there. That person that knows something needs to come forward and disclose."
