Lina Sardar Khil’s family and the San Antonio Police Department are asking the public to not stop looking for the4-year-old one year after her disappearance.

On Tuesday, the San Antonio Police Departmentreleased additional surveillance footageof the day the then three-year-old went missing on social media. The new video also featured commentary from two detectives working the case in addition to the new footage.

The surveillance footage, which was from a resident’s security camera, shows Lina playing with her mother and brother on the playground where she was last seen. She eventually walks out of the frame.

On December 20, 2021, Lina was playing at the playground where she lived with her family when her mother left for a brief amount of time. When she returned, police say, her daughter was gone.

“Today marks the one-year anniversary of the disappearance of Lina Sardar Khil,” the SAPD wrote alongside the video. “This video highlights the investigative efforts, agencies and the communities help that have gone into this year-long investigation.”

“We’ve received hundreds of leads that we have followed up on,” lead detective Jeremy Volz also revealed in the video. “We’ve partnered with other local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies to follow up on all the leads. Unfortunately, none of the leads we have received have led us to finding Lina.”

The San Antonio Police Department didn’t immediately respond to a request for additional comment.

Multiple law enforcement agencies have searched for the girl around the apartment complex, as well as sending elite divers to search for her in a creek about two miles from her home, theSan Antonio Express-Newsreports.
