Summary

Almost immediately upon the San Antonio Police taking to social media to try and get the word out about missing child Lina Sardar Khil, things got ugly. Completely fabricated details about what happened that supported bigoted theories, victim blaming, and unhinged conspiracy theories that had everyone from the founder of Eagles Flight Advocacy & Outreach to the assistant to United States Senator from Texas John Cornyn in on...something never fully fleshed out. But things got even scarier as Lina’s father was accosted and almost assaulted, more than once, and as YouTube influencers and TikTokers faked volunteering for searches to create content and stalk those involved in the effort. Part 2 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

0:09.7	It seemed as though everything stopped in North Texas on Wednesday, November 30, 2022.
0:17.4	That evening, seven-year-old Athena Strand went missing.
0:21.9	She was last seen at her home at approximately 5.30 pm.
0:27.6	Wise County residents sent some from the surrounding counties such as Tarant and Parker
0:33.0	swarmed to the area surrounding the little girl's home in the tiny town of Paradise, Texas

0:41.0	To their credit, the Wise County Sheriff's Office sprung into action fast, enlisting the

0:52.6	and a canine rescue team.
0:55.4	An amber alert was issued, and although that was not without its problems as usual concerning
1:01.6	the implementation of the alert, it gained the attention of virtually every North Texan
1:07.7	on the grid, and arguably a helpful thing.
1:12.7	Some, however, were less than helpful.
1:16.4	As is the case with every high-profile crime or disappearance, folks took to social media
