Disappearance of Sky Metalwala
Solomon said he believed that his son was alive, but perhaps not in the U.S. In spring of 2011, after the visit to the doctor that was the last independent record of Sky's presence outside of Biryukova's household, he recalled that her estranged father came from Ukraine to visit her. He wondered to the "Weekly" if the older man could have taken the boy back to that country with him at the time. But in 2013, he said that he did not know how that could have happened.
Solomon family
Abraham Jacob Solomon (c. 1825 – 10 January 1889), who was not closely related to any of the above, arrived in Adelaide in 1849 from London, where his father was a dealer in army supplies. He worked on the Victorian goldfields for several years, was lessee of (unrelated) Emanuel Solomon's Victoria Theatre from 1861 to ?? then licensee of the Blenheim Hotel, Hindley Street, and an hotel broker. He was closely identified with the Synagogue and married Julia Isaacs (1827 – 30 December 1895). Seven daughters and two sons survived to adulthood.
