NC NC - Madalina Cojocari, 11, reported Missing Dec 2022 three Weeks After Last Seen, Cornelius, *Parents Arrested* #2

[Chelly]

Does anyone know if North Carolina has a prominent State investigative bureau?

I am wondering who or what is investigating this case besides Cornelius Sheriff Dept (with assist from FBI).

I am aware Tennessee has TBI* and South Carolina has SLED*, but have never seen NC LE mention a state agency.

*TBI: Tennessee Bureau of Investigation
*SLED: South Carolina Law Enforcement Division.

Thanks in advance for answers.

THANKS. Going back through news stories about Madalina's disappearance I see NCSBI has been mentioned several times as being involved in the investigation and the search warrants.

Nothing new on Madalina.

For those who haven't seen this, NewsNation's Missing Series produced a good video about Madalina's disappearance. Posting it here.

I am hoping LE obtained new information leading to this recent search of parents' home. Would LE require a new search warrant for this new search?

It's the first time neighbors have seen investigators back on their street in several weeks.

It's the first time neighbors have seen investigators back on their street in several weeks.

Cornelius Police, the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigations, its K-9 unit and a Mecklenburg County Assistant District Attorney were at the Cojocari house on Tuesday night, WCNC Charlotte has confirmed.

 

[Heartbeatoftheheartland]

Bringing in K9's is foreboding, but I am so relived to see movement on this case.

It seems that enough time has passed since the initial searches that LE should have received some of the forensic results by now. If so, I'm assuming that they didn't find proof that Madalina is no longer with us, since they are still asking the public to be on the lookout for her. It is interesting that they are continuing to search at the house.

BBM.^^^ November 23 was not a Wednesday. November 23 was Thursday, Thanksgiving Day. It is the day CP claimed he drove to MI...just sayin'. Can't believe a word parents claim about day they last saw M.

Hi, Chelly! I think November 23 was a Wednesday in 2022, according to the calendar: November 2022 Printable Calendar: Blank Calendar Templates

MECKLENBURG COUNTY, N.C. — It has now been almost 90 days since Madalina Cojocari was last seen publicly. That was on November 21, but her mom and stepdad didn’t report her missing for three weeks. That delay in reporting violates state law.

That is why Madalina’s mother and stepfather, who were arrested two months ago, remain in custody.

“They’re charged with a class I felony, which is the lowest level felony that exists,” Tim Emry, a Charlotte area defense attorney who is not involved in this case, said.

Emry said that Cojocari and Palmiter would likely get probation if they are convicted of failing to report that Madalina was missing.

I wish we knew more details about the stepdad's drive to Michigan. Did he take his phone? Can please determine his route? Can police determine where the stepdad stopped? Was this trip planned? Did the stepdad really go to Michigan?

Good questions. ^^^

I have other speculative ideas about why he may have driven away so suddenly that day ?
Imo.

I'm sure we all do.
No doubt in my mind they hurt this sweet girl and then disposed of her.
