Search Underway for Missing 9-Year-Old Girl in New York
Police and community members are desperately searching for a 9-year-old girl who went missing on Saturday evening during a family camping trip in New York.
Charlotte Sena, a young adventurer, was last seen at Moreau Lake State Park in Saratoga County, about 50 miles north of Albany, around 6:15 p.m.
New York Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul revealed that Sena and her family were camping just 15 minutes away from home. The spirited girl had been exploring Loop A of the park on her bike with family friends when she decided to take one more solo ride around the loop.
Concern arose when Charlotte failed to return after fifteen minutes. Her worried parents and fellow campers immediately initiated a search. At 6:45 p.m., they discovered her abandoned bike on the loop, prompting her mother to contact 911. State police arrived promptly, but the situation was described by Hochul as ”every parent’s worst nightmare.”

Heartbroken by the situation, Hochul expressed hope for a reunion and urged the public to provide any information that could aid in the safe return of Charlotte. The Sena family also issued a statement, pleading for their daughter’s safe return.
