SAN ANTONIO – Tuesday marks the one-year anniversary of the disappearance of Lina Khil and San Antonio police have released a video highlighting the investigative efforts to find her.
The toddler was last seen at a playground at the Villas del Cabo apartment complex in the 9400 block of Fredericksburg Road on Dec. 20, 2021.
Video released by SAPD Tuesday shows new footage of Lina at the playground on the day she disappeared.
SAPD officials said a resident of the complex had a surveillance camera that captured Lina playing with her mother and younger brother.
“At some point during the video she walked off the screen and that was the last sighting that we have of her on video,” said Jeremy Volz, the lead detective in Lina’s case.
San Antonio police, the Special Victim’s Unit and members of the community have been searching for the now-4-year-old since her disappearance but Lina is still missing.
“We hope this informative video answers many of the outstanding questions you might have regarding this missing person investigation,” police said in a news release.
Crime Stoppers is offering up to $50,000 for any information leading to Lina’s location.
The Islamic Center of San Antonio is also offering a reward for Lina’s return. The reward was increased to $200,000 in February thanks to a private donor.
“There is a critical witness somewhere out there. That person that knows something needs to come forward and disclose,” SAPD officials said. “We believe that children don’t just vanish into thin air and if that person that saw something, that knows something — if that person has not come forward, it’s not too late to do so.”
Anyone with any information regarding Lina is asked to call SAPD’s missing person unit at 210-207-7660 or Crime Stoppers at 210-224-7867.
