Summary

On December 15th, 2022, Madalina Cojocari, a beloved 11-year-old, was reported missing in Cornelius, North Carolina. Her mother, Diana Cojocari, initially told the police that she last saw her daughter on the night of November 23rd. However, investigators soon discovered that nobody outside the family had seen Madalina after November 21st.
This discrepancy raised suspicions, especially as it became apparent that Diana, along with her husband, Christopher Palmiter, were withholding crucial information, impeding the progress of the investigation.

Now, a year and a half later, Madalina remains missing, and investigators are still searching for her…

The last official sighting of Madalina Cojocari was on November 21, 2022, when she was seen getting off the school bus near her house, located at 18413 Victoria Bay Drive in Cornelius, North Carolina.

Madalina is white, with brown hair and brown eyes. At the time of her disappearance, she weighed 90 pounds and stood at 4’10”. She was last seen wearing jeans, pink, purple and white Adidas shoes, and a white t-shirt and jacket.

If you have any information concerning the whereabouts of Madalina Cojocari, please contact the Cornelius Police Department at (704) 892-7773. You can also contact your local FBI office or you can submit a tip online at tips.fbi.gov.
