A new photo of missing North Carolina girl Madalina Cojocari reportedly showed near an area her mother’s car was spotted in November.
As CrimeOnline previously reported, 11-year-old Madalina was reported missing in Cornelius on December 15, although her mother, Diana Cojocari, told police she hasn’t seen her since November 23. The FBI and several other agencies, including the State Bureau of Investigation, have joined the search efforts and investigation.
According to Inside Edition Digital, numerous residents near a remote area in Madison County told investigators that they spotted Cojocari’s car in the area days after the child disappeared. One woman told authorities that she drove by the car parked on the side of the road near Lonesome Mountain. The woman reportedly told police she remembered the vehicle after it later sped past her.
Another person said she saw the vehicle on November 22, in Weaverville, while another person said they saw the car at Weaverville IHOP restaurant on November 25.
The latest photo shows Madalina at the summit of Mount Mitchell in Yancey County, which neighbors Madison County, near the area where Diana’s car was spotted.
