Lead #3Did the school bus driver or other students observe anything unusual on November 21, 2022?
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, but has not been seen since. The delay in reporting—she was not reported missing to her school until December 15, 2022, though her parents claim to have last seen her on November 23—has complicated the investigation. Her case remains active and unsolved, with authorities seeking any information about her whereabouts or the circumstances of her disappearance.
