Madalina Cojocari, an 11-year-old girl from Cornelius, North Carolina, was last seen on surveillance video exiting her school bus on November 21, 2022, and has not been seen since. Her parents reported last seeing her two days later on November 23, 2022, but she was not officially reported missing to her school until December 15, 2022—a significant delay that may have hindered early investigation efforts. The case remains open with investigators seeking any information about her whereabouts or circumstances surrounding her disappearance.
