...The Mecklenburg County warrant gave a clear timeline of the events. On the night of November 23rd, a Wednesday, an argument occurred between Madalina Cojocari’s mother, 30-year-old Diana Cojocari, and her step-father, 60-year-old Christopher Palmiter. During the argument, Madlina went into her room, her mother said. Palmiter then drove to Michigan, where he has family, to retrieve some items. Around 11:30 a.m. the next day, Diana stated she went into Madalina’s room and she was gone. The mother said she didn’t report it until three weeks later because she was worried it would affect her relationship with her husband, Palmiter.
Madalina was a student at Bailey Middle School and it is unknown why she wasn’t in school that Thursday morning. The mother told the stepfather Madalina was missing on November 26th, records showed.
Palmiter was contacted after Madalina’s disappearance was reported and said the last time he had seen Madalina was a week before he left for Michigan.
