WHAT - Reported missing after 3 weeks!!!!!

Exactly! And the report was made to a SRO not law enforcement.

 

[Guess Who]

Exactly! And the report was made to a SRO not law enforcement.

Which probably means not reported until the school contacted them about her extended absence. Not liking this one.

FBI assists Cornelius police with search for missing 11-year-old girl​

The FBI announced Friday it is helping the Cornelius Police Department with its search for an 11-year-old girl who was last seen on Nov. 23 at her home, according to police.

Precisely. Wouldn't be surprised if the SRO showed up at their home to inquire. (My thoughts only, not confirmed.)
Thankfully it happened now, as most schools are heading into winter break in the next few days or so.
I do wonder what her last confirmed date at school was, since it says she was seen at home 11/23. By the people who didn't report her missing.

So stepdad was arrested. Is he her legal guardian? Where is her mother?

No mention of the mother being arrested? Anyone else find this odd?

Mom arrested as well.

FWIW there is something about about the age gap between these 2 adults that's unsettling. Perhaps just my overactive imagination.

37 and 60. I'm kind of a "let two consenting adults do their thing" most of the time. But he IS old enough to be her father. And with the child there's always cause for extra caution. So yeah.

FBI, SBI Return To Home Of 11-Year-Old Cornelius Girl, One Day After Arrest Of Parents - WCCB Charlotte's CW

Cornelius Police are trying to locate 11-year-old Madalina Cojocari. She was last seen at her home on November 23rd. Police say the girl was reported missing by her parents Thursday.

www.wccbcharlotte.com

Authorities say Madalina’s parents went to Bailey Middle School Thursday and told a school resource officer the girl was missing. Friday afternoon, only WCCB News was on the scene at the girl’s Cornelius home as investigators with the FBI and SBI spent hours digging in the ground in her backyard, and searching for evidence inside the home. Neighbors stood by and watched in disbelief.

“I’ve lived here my whole life so I’ve never seen anything like this,” says Sydney Capps, a neighbor and social worker. She says the entire neighborhood is baffled by Madalina’s disappearance.

“It’s odd that it seems like she went missing back in November, and it’s just now being reported,” Capps says.

Cornelius Police did not say if they found anything of importance during their search of the girl’s home, but they did say they are still searching for her.

BBM..my thoughts exactly! She is 11 so 1 night away from home should have caused alarm in most parents IMO

I saw somewhere that her last confirmed school day was on the 22nd on the last day before Thanksgiving break.

Which probably means somebody was inquiring about her and they needed to come up with a story, but evidently not a very good one.

Mom arrested as well.

Thank you for looking into it. I was wondering if the mom was missing too or something.
