SAN ANTONIO — As authorities continue their around-the-clock search for a missing 3-year-old girl who vanished from an apartment complex playground Monday afternoon, her father says he and his wife "have not slept at all" during the ordeal.

Speaking to KENS 5's Henry Ramos through a translator Tuesday evening, Riaz Sardar Khil thanked searchers for their ongoing efforts in looking for Lina Sardar Khil, whose disappearance led to the issuing of an AMBER Alert Monday night.

"During our entire lives we have not been as saddened as we were yesterday and today," Khil said through his translator before getting emotional.

Khil said Lina's mother was watching her on the playground of their northwest-San Antonio complex when the little girl made her way to a nearby path and suddenly disappeared. Her mother thought she may have returned to their apartment unit, but when she didn't find her there either a search ensued.

"There were other children and adults at the playground area at the time of the disappearance."

Before everyone blames rednecks and Qanon, this was at an apartment complex where many immigrants and refugees live. The apartments are mostly low income. It is an immigrant/refugee community. As a matter of fact, just last week someone told me about the resettlement office and these apartment communities. It's over near Ali Baba, numerous Middle East and Indian restaurants and grocery stores and the UTHSC. The little girl was playing outside and her mother, who is pregnant went inside. When she came out, her little girl was gone. (My guess is it is someone who lives in the apartment complex)

1. I cannot imagine.

Please let this little girl come home safely.

2. It does not sound good...

I'm thinking it was someone who also resides in the complex...or possibly an adjoining complex....

The little refugee children love to play outside. Unfortunately, that leaves them exposed to possible offenders.

The poor girl and her family. I feel so bad for them. New to this country and just before Christmas.
