Police Searching For Suffolk Girl, 12, Missing Since Wednesday Night

RONKONKOMA, NY — Suffolk police say they are looking for a 12-year-old Ronkonkoma girl who has been missing for about two days.

Madeline Rivera-Cordon was last seen leaving her home on Pond Road on Wednesday at about 7 p.m., said police, adding that detectives believe she might be in Brentwood, Central Islip, or Patchogue.

Rivera-Cordon is Hispanic, 4 feet 8 inches tall, and about 80 pounds, and she has brown eyes and brown hair.

These seems very disconcerting. A 12 year old leaves home in a Suffolk County suburb and never returns. I wish this was getting attention from the media.

Not sure if she has SM

IMHO Maybe it is just the way the news release is written but it doesn't sound like LE are sure about what happened. Not much press for a missing 12 year old. Missing "about" 2 days. No reason why she might be in Brentwood, Central Islip, or Patchogue. Sad

Was she living at home with both parents or is that something we don’t know?

None of the reports have said. It just seems odd? If her parents lived separately I feel like that would be easy to confirm. 12 years old is so young. I have to wonder if they’re keeping additional information out of the news for some reason.

She’s 12, a baby. You would think LE, the press AND her family would be all over this!
But nothings. Makes no sense!

You only have to scroll back through this thread to see the 12 and even 10 year olds who are missing. No further info on them. Presume that many are found but that their cases are not updated.


Same applies to the many cases of endangered senior citizens and persons with difficulties, whether mental or physical.

There is no feedback to confirm whether they have been found and there cannot be countless remains out there. IMO

I’ve been here long enough. I get it. I just don’t like it.

Ronkonkoma is a small town, so it seems to me that the residents would at least be familiar with what goes on there -- the good and the bad. I assume this town would have a police station -- maybe the parents/guardians don't want any publicity -- no idea.
A 12 y/o is indeed a child, and she could be a runaway; or she went for a walk and hurt herself so that she cannot walk; a kidnap; hiding from parents or guardians, etc.

Darkness is starting to set in earlier now, and the temperature will start to get a bit colder as well.
She needs to be found.

Hmmmm.
Hoping things are happening to find her, but perhaps the media/press, etc., does not cover this small town very often. Also hoping the town is concerned about this little girl as well. A picture would help.
Maybe this is a very tightly-knit town and the residents do not want negative press.
Prayers for her safety.

Ronkonkoma is a good size town in the center of L.I, i grew up not far.there is a train station with a direct connection to the city and an airport.

She may be in Brentwood or Bayshore, which has a high Spanish speaking population, so that makes sense, but it also has a gang problem, I was a bilingual teacher in the district and I had students as young as her being groomed for a gang, so I hope that is not the case here, but I am worried.

Nothing new, but adding her picture to the thread.

She is only 4 ft 8, and 80 lbs. That seems very tiny for a 12 yr old?

But still within a normal growth range.

I was about that size and weight at 12. My height now is 5 ft, and I weigh about 110 lbs, and I am a very grown woman.
So those stats for her seem okay to me.

What a beauty she is -- just that frightens me for her safety.
Hoping for good news soon.

Thanks for the earlier post, @Trebor5591. Good info.

Just had dinner tonight in Patchogue. Had heard nothing of this case. MOO: <modsnip> I just spent an hour on LI roads and would keep my eyes peeled for any car.

So odd with the limited press coverage. I’m hoping that’s because the police know something they’re not releasing for some reason? But then how would the press even know that?
