Fingerprints from a ransom note were key in locating a 9-year-old girl who vanished during a camping trip with her family at Moreau Lake State Park in Saratoga County, New York, on Saturday, officials said Monday evening.
“Literally drove up to the family’s mailbox, assuming they were not home, 4:20 in the morning, opens the mailbox and inserts the ransom note,” Hochul said. “The hit came at 2:30 in the afternoon. There had been a DWI in 1999 in the city of Saratoga. A fingerprint was found that matched what was found on the ransom note.”
Hochul said that when Charlotte had not returned 15 minutes later, her parents, along with nearby campers, began searching for her and calling her name. Lt. Col. Richard Mazzone said they found Charlotte’s bike on the loop at 6:45 p.m., and two minutes later, her mother called 911 to report her daughter missing. Police arrived at the scene by 7 p.m.
