In a troubling turn of events, the search for 12-year-old Madalina Cojocari, who vanished from a school bus in North Carolina last year, has taken a distressing twist. The FBI recently released the last known surveillance footage of the pre-teen, amplifying concerns about her mysterious disappearance.
Allegations from Madalina’s grandmother, Rodica Cojocari, add a layer of complexity to the case. According to her, Madalina was not merely missing but was allegedly “kidnapped” and sold for a staggering $5 million. The pointed finger reaches towards Christopher Palmiter, Madalina’s stepfather.
Rodica Cojocari paints a grim picture, claiming that Palmiter played a sinister role in Madalina’s disappearance. “Chris Palmiter is the instrument,” she states, accusing him of stalking the family for two years and holding them captive by stealing their documents. The situation, as described by Madalina’s grandmother, suggests a dire circumstance akin to being held “like prisoners.”
Disturbing details emerge from search warrants, indicating that Madalina’s mother, Diana Cojocari, allegedly sought assistance in “smuggling” herself and Madalina away from their current situation. Diana confided in a distant relative about her troubled relationship with Palmiter and expressed a desire for a divorce.
Amid these distressing claims, both Diana Cojocari and Palmiter face charges for failing to report Madalina missing, with their plea entered as not guilty. Rodica Cojocari’s plea is simple but poignant: “I love her very much, very much.”
The Cornelius Police and the FBI continue to urge the public for any information regarding Madalina’s whereabouts. Authorities emphasize the significance of community involvement in solving this heart-wrenching mystery. The FBI has dedicated a webpage to Madalina’s case, featuring the crucial surveillance footage from the school bus.
As the search intensifies and disturbing revelations surface, the community holds its breath, hoping for a resolution that brings clarity to Madalina Cojocari’s unsettling disappearance.
