The search continues for a 9-year-old girl missing since Saturday evening in New York’s Capital Region. Charlotte Sena was last seen riding her bike in Moreau Lake State Park in Saratoga County. Officials worry she may have been abducted.
The state park will be closed indefinitely as about 400 search and rescue personnel have covered 46 miles. Giving their latest update as of 4 p.m. Monday, New York State Police are asking members of the public to stay away and the Federal Aviation Administration has issued a temporary flight restriction over the park to ensure the safety of aerial search efforts.
Sena is white, 4-foot-6 with blonde hair and green eyes. She was last seen wearing a tie-dye Pokemon shirt, dark blue pants, black Crocs and a grey bike helmet. Anyone with information should call 518-457-6811 or 911.
"If you or someone you know visited Moreau Lake State Park on Saturday the 30th, please email crimetip@troopers.ny.gov you may have seen or heard something valuable to our search for Charlotte," state police said in a release Monday. "Whether you were there to take a walk, camping with family and friends, or for any other activity, we ask that you contact law enforcement. No detail is too small when searching for a missing child. Any search and rescue trained personnel who wish to volunteer can email rangers@dec.ny.gov. Please include your name, contact information, and credentials in the email.
