The FBI has joined in the search for a missing 9-year-old who vanished while taking a bike ride in a New York state park.
As CrimeOnline previously reported, Charlotte Sena was at the Moreau Lake State Park for a weekend camping trip with family and friends, headed off for a last ride around a loop road at about 6:15 p.m. Saturday night. She never returned.
Her parents and others in the camping area began searching for her and found her abandoned bike at about 6:45 p.m.
CBS News reports that the FBI joined in on the search Monday morning, as fears begin to mount of a possible abduction. Sources reportedly told the outlet that police suspect an abduction, although not yet officially confirmed.
