Police Letter To Madalina Cojocari Family: A letter written by the girl’s extended family appealing for her safe return was made public by the North Carolina police agency looking for a missing 11-year-old girl.
According to her mother, Madalina Cojocari was last seen on November 23. Despite receiving numerous calls from the school regarding Madalina’s truancy, her mother didn’t report her missing until December 15.
As previously reported by Newsy People, Madalina’s disappearance has been charged against Diana Cojocari, 37, and her husband Christopher Palmiter, 60.
The two-page letter’s author was not disclosed by the Cornelius Police Department. Eastern European nation Moldova, located between Romania and Ukraine, is the origin of the mother’s side of the family.
“As a family, we are saddened and heartbroken to find that Madalina has gone away,” the family wrote in a letter dated Thursday. “We adore Madalina and are surprised by these events.”
“Madalina is a beautiful, smart, kind, 11-year-old with greatness in her future,” the letter says. “We are desperate to find her right now. She needs ALL of our help.”
Arrest records for Madalina’s mother and stepfather say that the two were fighting on the day the girl disappeared and that Palmiter drove off in a huff to retrieve items from his family in Michigan. The mother told investigators she believed Palmiter had put the family in danger, but the report doesn’t say what she meant by that. The report also says that she didn’t report her daughter missing earlier because she feared “conflict” with Palmiter.
Police said Cojocari told them she called her Moldovan family, who urged her to contact the police, but she did not do so.
Palmiter returned on November 26, and he and Diana Cojocari fought over the girl’s disappearance until a school resource officer left a “truancy packet” on the front door on December 14, and Cojocari called the school and said she would be in with her daughter the next day. But she came to the school without Madalina and told the school resource officer she hadn’t seen her since November 23.
