Amber Alert: 9-Year-Old Girl Believed Abducted from New York State Park
by

New York State Police have issued an Amber Alert for a 9-year-old girl they say was abducted while on a camping trip with family and friends at Moreau Lake State Park in upstate New York.

Police had no new updates on the case at 7:30 p.m. Sunday, the Times Union said.

Charlotte Sena was last seen on a bike ride at about 6:15 p.m. Saturday. When she didn’t return, her parents began looking for her and found her bike about 30 minutes later, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said.

Police issued a missing person alert at about 9:30 p.m., and the Amber Alert was activated about 12 hours later, the Times Union reported.

At a news conference Sunday morning, Hochul said that park police, forest rangers, firefighters, the Saratoga County Sheriff’s Office, and more had joined the search — over 100 officers — with bloodhounds, drones, other air support, and water searches.

“We are leaving no stone, no branch, no table, no cabin unturned, untouched, unexamined in our search to find Charlotte,” the governor said. “Hearts are broken today in New York.”

State Police Lt. Col. Richard Mazzone said an “exhaustive search” had taken place in the hours since the 4th grader disappeared, leading police to believe “it was quite possible an abduction took place,” according to the Times Union.

Sena is described as about 4 feet 6 inches tall and 90 pounds with long, dirty blonde hair and green eyes. She was last seen wearing a tie-dye Pokemon shirt, dark blue pants, black crocs, and a gray bike helmet.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Wilton barracks at 518-457-6811 or send an email to crimetip@troopers.ny.gov.
