NY - Melina Frattolin, 9, Abducted, seen 9:40pm in a white van traveling south on I-87 near exit 22, Lake George, 19 Jul 2025 *arrest*

This is a blurb from his own website, which I noticed.

"On a lighter note, Melina has also taught Luciano to let go of his rigid tendencies to keep everything in “perfect order”—his love for Melina’s messy art projects and chaotic ensemble of toys supersedes his love for a meticulously spotless home.".

That is an interesting note. He said right in his bio that he likes "perfect order". And his daughter, Melina, is "messy" and "chaotic". And he loves a "meticulously spotless home".

Interesting. I would never write something like that about myself or my kids. I just found that entire passage strange.

Did Melina do something that enraged Mr. "Spotless"? Spill a Coke in the car?

Exactly. And was he already stressed because of business stuff. Was she a tough kid because she was adopted...did they never fully attach? Was fatherhood not what he envisioned.

Another precious child killed. It grieves my heart. I hope that whoever is responsible for her death is held accountable. Thankfully, it seems that the police already know who did this heinous crime. I think we all suspect a certain person, but I will refrain for further commenting until we hear something definitive.

In February 2019, Luciano was met with an unfortunate event that severely affected his well-being. Though his road to recovery was long and arduous, he remained determined.

Wonder what the unfortunate event was? Maybe an accident /Injury?

Found on his Instagram @lucianofrattolin with the caption "How I met your mother " in a series of Instagram stories with Melina. Could one of these women (they look like sisters) be Melina's mom? His Instagram has lots of pictures of Melina growing up but there are no photos of Melina with her mother in his story- I assume Melina's mother must have been out of the picture ever since Melina was a toddler and Luciano was raising her on his own. Makes sens why he'd use a crying emoji when referring to how he met her mother...

Reposting because the mods deleted my post saying there was "no link" even though I included his Instagram tag... here's the source once again: America = @lucianofrattolin

That part stood out to me too. Especially his use of the word "rigid." Not just "type A" or "organized," but full-on "rigid." I'm probably reading way too much into it, and arm-chair diagnosing again, but seeing that in conjunction with his oblique reference to whatever the hell happened in 2019 made me go hmmm...

Exactly. And was he already stressed because of business stuff. Was she a tough kid because she was adopted...did they never fully attach? Was fatherhood not what he envisioned.

Is there any reason to think she was adopted?

 

[truthfinder2019]

Heartbreaking.

I wonder what led LE to search nearly an hour away from where the father claimed she was last seen. Could they have phone records already? MOO

Let alone on a corporate website. It’s odd to include that IMO.

Or, his own story unraveled, as it seems to have done rather quickly. As LE questioned him and had him repeat the scenario, I think perhaps LE figured out where to look. We all thought the Amber Alert and the way it was reported seemed "off" yesterday. Meanwhile, LE did too.

Is there any reason to think she was adopted?

Maybe b/c they say she is "Indian" and not Indian, Italian and Ethiopian?

But this is a bit cryptic also
Luciano currently spends as much time as he can in Montreal, Canada, with his beautiful daughter Melina. As the light of his life, she is the inspiration for…well, everything.
What does that mean? Did they not live together?

The charges the 45-year-old faces are not available, but public records show he is in custody at the jail in the town of Lewis. State Police are expected to say more about the case Monday. Frattolin was booked at the jail at 2:04 a.m.

Not sad, defiant, tired, ashamed, rough, angry.... he just looks bored, maybe a bit empty.
