US EditionVigil held in New York state for nine-year-old Montreal girl found in pond
TICONDEROGA, NEW YORK, JUL 23 – Luciano Frattolin faces second-degree murder and concealment charges after allegedly killing his daughter and fabricating a kidnapping story, authorities said.
- On Tuesday evening, residents in two North Country towns gathered to honor nine-year-old Melina Frattolin, whose body was discovered in a pond in Ticonderoga, New York.
- Melina and her father, Luciano Frattolin, had legally traveled from Montreal to the U.S. on July 11 for vacation and were expected to return on July 19.
- After Luciano reported Melina missing Saturday night claiming abduction, an Amber Alert was issued early Sunday before her body was found that afternoon, and investigators noted inconsistencies in his story.
- Preliminary autopsy findings released Tuesday confirmed that Melina died from drowning caused by asphyxia. Authorities have ruled her death a homicide and have formally charged her father, Luciano, with second-degree murder as well as hiding her body.
- The incident has had a profound impact on both communities, leading to appeals for support to prevent future tragedies, while investigations continue as Luciano Frattolin denies the charges against him and remains in custody.
