Missing girl Lina Sardar Khil's 4th birthday marks 2 months since her disappearance

Lina Sardar Khil's family had held out hope that she would be found to celebrate her 4th birthday on Sunday, Feb. 20, at home, but two months after she went missing in San Antonio, Texas, there are still no answers.

"Her light is missing from her family and community. Our continuous prayer is that she will be back in the arms of those that love her," Pamela Allen, who is representing the Khil family, told ABC News on Saturday.

Lina was last seen on Dec. 20, 2021 at a park on the 9400 block of Fredericksburg Road in San Antonio between 4:30 p.m. and 5:10 p.m., according to police. The park is near the family's home at the Villa Del Cabo apartment complex.

On Sunday afternoon, Lina's family and the community prepare to gather near the family home to celebrate her birthday and pray for her safe return home.

She was out of sight from her mother for an unknown amount of time before the mother realized Lina was nowhere to be found, according to the San Antonio Police Department.

"At this time there are no updates on Lina's case. The missing person case involving Lina Khil is still an active missing person investigation," a spokesperson for SAPD told ABC News on Friday. "The San Antonio Police Department, in partnership with our federal partners have worked tirelessly on finding Lina."

Lina's family is part of an Afghan refugee community in San Antonio. They arrived in the United States in 2019 and speak Pashto.

Lina's mother, Zarmeena Sardar Khil, is pregnant with her second child. She spoke with FOX 29 in San Antonio through a translator earlier this month.

"I am missing my child, I cannot forget her and it is affecting me a lot and my other child who is coming to this world," she said.

"We all have the same pain, it doesn't matter that I am from Afghanistan, I have a different culture, different religion. What we have in common is the pain of motherhood as a human, is the same as all people," she added.

The Afghan community in the city, along with a group of nonprofits and organizations have rallied behind the family, joining search crews, fundraising and raising awareness about Lina's case.

The Islamic Center of San Antonio announced Wednesday that it increased a $100,000 reward for any information on Lina to $120,000. Meanwhile, Crime Stoppers of San Antonio has offered $50,000 for information resulting in the arrest or indictment of a suspect accused of involvement in Lina's disappearance, bringing the latest total to $170,000.

The Eagles Flight Advocacy & Outreach organization, a San Antonio-based nonprofit, joined the search in early January, with about 150 people from the Afghan community showing up to help.

Allen, the CEO of the group, became the family's spokesperson after meeting the Khils through her organization's work. She told ABC News last month that the family believes Lina was abducted.

"We believe someone has her," she said. "And so that this is what the family believes -- that someone has their daughter and hopefully keeping her alive."

Lina has brown eyes and straight, brown hair, and was last seen wearing a black jacket, red dress and black shoes, according to police.

Last month, Allen's organization shared a newly surfaced photo taken by a family member of Lina the day she disappeared in hopes that details about Lina's jewelry could assist the public in identifying her.

In the photo, which was obtained by ABC News, Lina appears to be wearing blue bangle bracelets on one wrist and gold-toned bangles on the other. She is also wearing small gold earrings and an article around her neck that Allen said is known as the Taweez, which is etched with verses from the Quran and is usually worn for protection.

Police are urging anyone with information regarding Lina or her whereabouts to come forward and contact the missing persons unit in San Antonio at 210-207-7660.
