Lina Sardar Khil disappeared from a park near her family's home in San Antonio in December and six months later, police appear no closer to finding the 4-year-old.
"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 in February.Asked if the hope of finding Lina alive has diminished as time passes, McManus said, "Unfortunately it does, to be candid."Lina's family is part of an Afghan refugee community in San Antonio. They arrived in the United States in 2019 and speak Pashto.
"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. 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.
