SEATTLE (AP) — Bellevue police set up a kind of roadblock Sunday morning to stop and talk to people passing the site where a missing toddler was last seen.

Bellevue Police Maj. Mike Johnson told a news conference officers made more than 20 contacts and gathered about a dozen new tips.

It’s been a week since Julia Biryukova says 2-year-old Sky Metalwala disappeared from her car. Police have searched the area, the mother’s home and car and various parks and have not found him.

Johnson says officers also spent time at Biryukova’s apartment complex on Sunday hoping to find someone who remembers something about last weekend that may help them find Sky.

Bellevue police are also talking to authorities in other cities to get advice about how they handled similar cases.
