Newly released video recorded 29 days ago -- and 24 days before the 11-year-old girl was officially reported missing -- is the last time investigators can say with certainty that Madalina Cojocari was seen.
The video released Tuesday shows the girl getting off the Bailey Middle School school bus around 5 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 21.
"Ths is the last time investigators have independent confirmation of when Madalina was last seen," the FBI field office in Charlotte said. "We are seeking additional witnesses outside of the family to narrow down the exact timeline of when she disappeared."
In the video, Cojocari is one of four students seen exiting the bus. The faces of the other students were blurred to protect their identities.
The Cornelius Police Department is being assisted by the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation and the FBI in their investigation. On their website, the FBI has highlighted the disappearance as their "Case of the Week." The FBI field office in Michigan confirmed to WCNC Charlotte they are assisting the FBI field office in Charlotte with the investigation.
Cornelius is located in northern Mecklenburg County less than 20 miles from Charlotte.
