Tips are pouring into Bellevue Police regarding the last known whereabouts of missing 2-year-old baby Sky. Tips are also coming in on his current whereabouts, from those that “see.” Yes, tips from psychics.

On high profile missing people cases, it’s common that at least a thousand psychics will call in with tips, according to Bellevue psychic Shellee Hale.
In fact, Bellevue Police spokeswoman Carla Iafrate said on Monday that many of their recent tips had come from psychics.
“There’s no real scientific explanation for it,” said Hale, who cannot comment directly on the Sky Metawala case since she is a volunteer with the King County Search and Rescue on the case.

Pattern recognition, remote viewing, guessing right, creative thinking – Hale said there are many names for what she does. “I have an ability to actually choose spots where bodies are.”
Hale said that she has had some success too, pointing police in the direction of at least two missing persons. But she said, in her opinion, psychics are at their best when they use groupthink.
“It’s my opinion that those psychics are never as strong individually as they are as a group.”
Hale told 97.3 KIRO FM’s Dori Monson Show that while she believes she has psychic abilities that perform best when she is with a group of psychics, she wouldn’t try and explain the science behind it.
“It’s like, how do you know what somebody is thinking or feeling? You can’t scientifically explain it.”
Hale thinks she has a good idea on the location of Sky, even though she couldn’t share it with Dori. But she did say that there are “absolute probabilities” that help direct psychics.
“I think I have a very good idea. I think there are a lot of people saying the exact same thing on the [investigation] forum,” Hale said. “What I can tell you is that an unreported death is almost always linked to the custodial parent.”
She said that while fathers trying to conceal a child’s body may take it farther away from the home, mother’s feel a greater attachment and often try to conceal the body close to the home.
Detectives still haven’t spoken with the mother since early in the investigation. While Bellevue Police Major Mike Johnson said it’s frustrating, it’s not fair to characterize this as an “uncooperative person” because they recently haven’t asked that many questions of Biryukova.
Police say Biryukova told them she was taking Sky to a hospital when the car stopped, so she left him alone in the unlocked vehicle and took his 4-year-old sister to go for gas. When she returned an hour later, she says, the boy was gone.
Police are also investigating whether Biryukova, or someone using her name and photos, created a profile on a dating website listing herself as a “sugar baby” seeking a “real man.”
Police said hundreds of investigators are working on the missing person case that could turn into a criminal case.
