Diana Cojocari, mother of missing North Carolina girl Madalina Cojocari, may be deported to her home country of Moldova after she pleaded guilty to failure to report a child missing.
Diana Cojocari, mother of missing North Carolina girl Madalina Cojocari, pleaded guilty Monday morning to one count of failure to report a missing child. Madalina was last seen getting off a school bus in her hometown of Cornelius, just north of Charlotte, on Nov. 21, 2022, when she was 12 years old.
Leads have taken authorities from the Charlotte area to the mountains of western North Carolina, but there have been no signs of the missing girl for nearly two years. Diana told school officials and Cornelius Police she hadn't seen her daughter, a 6th-grader at Bailey Middle School who was born in Moldova, since she went to her bedroom the night of Nov. 23, 2022, around 10 p.m. after she and Palmiter got into an argument, court documents state. Palmiter said that on Nov. 24, 2022, he drove to his relatives' home in Michigan 'to recover some items' after an argument with his wife.
When Palmiter returned home to Cornelius on Nov. 26, Diana apparently asked him where their daughter was. Palmiter allegedly asked her the same question in return, the affidavit states. Soon after reporting Madalina missing last year, her parents penned a handwritten note expressing their concern for the missing 11-year-old, which the CPD shared with the public on Dec. 22.
She told him she was in a bad relationship with co-defendant Christopher Palmiter and wanted a divorce,' the warrant states. Authorities are asking anyone with information about Madalina's whereabouts to contact the CPD at 704-892-7773.
