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

First batch of documents includes some of the specifics of the arrest sheet. Nothing new there, but it reiterates how the school made efforts to see where Madalina was prior to her mother and stepfather filing a report, some three weeks after she was last seen.

Second batch of documents are some of the search warrants, signed and executed on 12/16 (keep in mind the *big* search we saw was on 12/21). Authorities looking for cell phone records between 11/1 and 12/16 from a number, which would also include any location and tower pings.

Second batch also includes probable cause, where they state that they seized phones for both Diana Cojocari and Christopher Palmiter.

Third bath includes more search warrant details. This specifically relates with the 12/21 search warrant, which we were witness to. Search warrant indicates that it was signed just 30 minutes before Cornelius PD went in the house.

They were looking for evidence of a crime, specifically Failure to Report the Disappearance of Child charge, but they're also looking for physical evidence.

Warrant included looking for "samples of blood, bodily fluids, located in physical search". Worth noting this warrant is wide-ranging--they're looking for documents, any signs of receipts of anything, electronic communications, etc. Warrants indicate they cast a wide net.

This wide net also includes weapons, clothing, hair samples, and any samples picked up from chemicals that pick up evidence of biological material (blood and bodily fluids).

Significant portions of the third batch are blacked out. This is in line with the redactions for things that are not out in the public yet. Among the details redacted were the items seized in the 12/21 search.

Fifth batch includes a search warrant that was issues on 12/15. Items seized list is heavily redacted, with the exception of three iPhones that were taken from the home. They were among at least 25 items seized from the home.

Sixth and final batch of documents is search warrant for a second phone number. Nothing notably new and replicated the search warrant for the first cell phone. Authorites want to know where that phone has been.

Interesting to note that, in the warrants "Diana stated Madalina did not have a phone" (warrant1, pg6) and yet on Dec 15, THREE Apple iPhones were seized (warrant4, pg6). So was she lying? Or does one of the parents have multiple phones?

Page 6, I was surprised to see a Kidnapping charge. Is that for lack of Madalina either in the physical person or lack of a body? Like the police can’t charge them with murder at this point, so let’s throw what ever at the wall and see if it sticks? Or do they have information they are withholding? It gives me slim hope that M is out there and alive.
Although the mug shots of DC & CP, their eyes tell me otherwise. They look hollow, soulless, guilty, and a bit upset that they have been caught, detained and are being questioned. (in my opinion)

I was thinking the same thing. Unless one of them had like a work phone.

They could be old phones put away when a new upgrades came out.

Just a heads up for anyone looking at the documents from both links above-they don’t match. The second link has a lot more pages, a few duplicate.
On page 42 of the document at the second link -
(https://www.wccbcharlotte.com/content/uploads/2023/01/v/i/Cojocari-Warrants.pdf)
“Basedupon this applicant's training and experience,persons whom commit crime often change the phone numbers they use ot communicatefollowing theircommissionofcrime. However, these individuals oflen continue to communicale with associates through altemate means, includingnewiy established cellulartelephone numbers.
The applicent would respectfully request the court issue a search warrant”

This makes me wonder-if they found 3 phones-MC doesn’t have one, if each parent had one-who bought the 3rd? Are LE saying they believe it’s plausible that someone bought this after the crime in order to cover their tracks, but hadn’t yet discarded it? You have to wonder-is there a receipt for this phone? A video of the purchase?

My guess is, one of those phones is a disposable, used for something illegal that they don't want to use their personal phones for.

LE seized three iPhones. Are iPhones considered disposable?

If they had burner phones, those may already have been destroyed somewhere outside of the home before LE searched on Dec. 16. all my opinion only

Any type of phone can be considered "disposable" if it's not one you're using to login to your apple/google/etc. accounts.

But they didn’t have jobs, did they?

As far as I've been able to gather from MSM posted, DC was not employed and CP's employment is rather vague, aside from his side gig of personalized engraving items he allegedly operates out of the home.

I have a sick feeling there was at least one other sketchy, criminal side gig going on.

sorry if this sounds stupid. I thought you had to have some kind of pay as you go or burner phone for calls not to be tracked or traced by LE

i do remember reading somewhere that it is a rather nice neighborhood, was wondering how two un/der-employed people could have afforded it. was trying not to let my mind go that route but, there it is, it all seems to be pointing in that direction...

 

[ChatteringBirds]

Wasn't there a fancy-sounding career listed on CP's linked-in account? Was he not working at the job listed there?

According to LinkedIn he is a Mechanical Designer for Ingersoll Rand

But if you have a burner phone and you get arrested with said burner phone on your person, LE has access to all that information anyway, right? Just not an actual bill or list of incoming/outgoing calls? I confess to ignorance on the subject. I would think if they had the physical phone they could access most of the same information.

IMO Big red flag that CP is 60 and the mom is 37. I think CP wanted to be with someone other than DC and that led to this. I really hope not, but that would explain that gap.
