The Sardar Khils came to San Antonio, Texas from the Khost Province of Afghanistan in 2019, after being granted a special visa by the United States. Thanks to a supportive and uplifting Afghan refugee community there, the family landed on their feet and their lives seemed to be heading in the right direction, a good direction. On December 20th, 2021, however, Riaz and Zarmeena Sardar Khil were met with a tragedy far worse than living in fear in their homeland, when their three-year-old daughter Lina vanished. Though they responded to this crisis fairly well, the San Antonio Police failed to find so much as a trace of the missing little girl. Part 1 of 2.

If you have any information about the disappearance of Lina Sardar Khil, please call the San Antonio Police Department’s Missing Persons Unit at (210)207-7660, Crime Stoppers of San Antonio at (210)224-7867, or the FBI’s San Antonio field office at (210)225-6741
