11-year-old Madalina Cojocari was reported missing by her mother, Diana Cojocari, and her stepfather, Cristopher Palmiter, after Madalina missed several weeks of school without explanation. They were arrested for failing to report her missing shortly after. While it was initially believed that Madalina was last seen on November 21, 2022, when video surveillance captured her leaving her school bus, police now believe she was last seen in December 2022, weeks after her parents claim to have last seen her. The Cornelius, North Carolina Police Department also named their first suspect in Madalina’s case in June 2024.

Anyone with information about Madalina is asked to contact the Cornelius Police Department at 704-892-7773.
