Missing toddler case turns to Web

SEATTLE – Police are investigating whether the mother of a missing Bellevue toddler – or someone using her name and photos – created a profile on a dating website listing herself as a “sugar baby” seeking a “real man.”

Investigators contacted the owner of the seekingarrangement.com website last week asking for information about Julia Biryukova. Owner Brandon Wade told KING-TV he gave police login information and account messages.

The page was created July 25 by someone in Washington state identifying herself as JB, Wade said. The free profile required no proof of identity, and it could not be confirmed whether Biryukova or someone else created the page.

Bellevue police Maj. Mike Johnson told a news conference Tuesday that social media are part of the investigation, but he would not comment on specifics.

Biryukova’s attorney was declining to take calls from reporters Tuesday, her office told the Associated Press.

The website offers a “secure place for like-minded Sugar Daddies, Mommies and Sugar Babies to meet each other.”

The profile page features nine photographs of Biryukova and describes her as 30 years old, a nonsmoker and nondrinker who can “speak fluent Russian, Ukrainian and English.”
