The small town of Rexford, New York was in a state of panic as the search for 9-year-old Charlotte Sena stretched into its second day. But on Monday, the community’s prayers were answered when the young girl was found alive and in good health in an upstate New York park.
According to authorities, Charlotte was last seen riding her bike at the Vischer Ferry Nature Preserve in Rexford on Saturday when she went missing. The girl’s bicycle was found, prompting a massive search. But amid the fear and uncertainty, authorities worked tirelessly to bring her home safely.
In a surprising turn of events, a ransom note was found in the mailbox of Sena’s parents’ home, leading police to suspect foul play. The search quickly intensified, and the efforts paid off when a suspect was apprehended and the missing girl was found.
The relief and joy were palpable as Governor Kathy Hochul announced that Charlotte was found alive and unharmed. 47-year-old Craig Nelson Ross Jr. was charged with first-degree kidnapping and is being held without bail, as the investigation continues.
The details of Sena’s disappearance may still be unclear, but what matters most to the community is that she has been found and is now back with her family.
