Luciano Frattolin, 45, was arrested after his 9-year-old daughter Melina was found dead in upstate New York. She was reported missing while visiting from Canada. Authorities issued an Amber Alert based on Frattolin's claim that she had been abducted, but inconsistencies in his account led to further investigation. The girl's body was discovered in a wooded area near Ticonderoga, and she was pronounced dead at the scene. The investigation remains ongoing, with the Essex County District Attorney's Office involved and awaiting further updates after an autopsy.
