,1,A big challenge in the investigation into what happened to Madalina Cojocari is the lapse in time between when she was reported missing and her actual disappearance.
The 11-year-old North Carolina girl was last seen publicly on November 21. Recorded video shows her getting off the school bus at her stop. Her mother, Diana Cojocari told police the last time she saw Madalina was on November 23. However, she didn’t report her daughter missing for three more weeks.
