evidence
Lead #3Are there additional surveillance cameras or witnesses who saw Madalina between November 21-23 or during the period before the December 15 report?
Madalina Cojocari, an 11-year-old girl, was last seen on November 21, 2022, getting off her school bus at her home in Cornelius, North Carolina, though her parents reported last seeing her two days later on November 23. She was not reported missing to authorities until December 15, 2022—nearly a month after she disappeared. The significant delay in reporting and the discrepancy in last-seen dates remain critical investigative questions that could help locate her.
