In a report printed by DailyMail.com on Friday, Amanda Preece, who used thus far the disgraced suspect, accused Ross of “focusing on” Charlotte due to a $2.2 million greenback lawsuit her grandfather, Patrick Sena, received again in 1998 after struggling a gnarly sledding accident — which left him with a damaged pelvis and a spinal fracture. Preece defined:
“Charlotte’s grandfather sued the City of Greenfield years in the past, and other people round Saratoga are conscious of this. I believe that’s why he held her ransom, he hoped to get among the cash as a result of he’s struggling financially.”
Apparently, Ross, who has a number of sclerosis, wished $50,000 from the Sena household, which his 33-year-old ex thinks would have “set him up for round 4 or 5 years.” She advised the outlet:
“He’s by no means wished to work. He’s all the time wished to search out individuals to mooch off of whether or not it’s girlfriends or making his mom really feel unhealthy as a result of his MS is so unhealthy.”

“He watched [Charlotte] till she went round one final time and scooped her up. I really feel he undoubtedly had this pre-planned. He put up tarp over the home windows a couple of months prior, so I really feel like he had been planning it for some time. He has the endurance for tousled issues like that. The person didn’t work, so in all that point he’s sitting there, consuming, he’s enthusiastic about his subsequent strikes. His mom may have seen by means of the window from her patio — in order that’s why he put up the tarp. You don’t simply take a toddler out of nowhere. He waited till she did one closing loop on her personal, so I believe he was watching her for some time.”
Wow.
She added that he may have set his sights on Charlotte after probably assembly her at the exact same fields his personal 11-year-old daughter performs softball at:
“I believe different individuals ought to know that he probably met Charlotte whereas she was enjoying on the identical discipline as his daughter, you by no means know who he might need are available contact with.”
How fully tousled! She added:
“To go to the campsite the place they have been at, to know the place they lived, and to go to the park when they’re there. He undoubtedly had this deliberate. He’s the kind of individual the place he pre plans and it may be months forward to do one thing.”
Disgusting.
Preece, herself, was at one level a sufferer of Ross’, as she was granted a restraining order in opposition to him in 2017 following a home dispute, in response to the outlet. She defined:
“He all the time terrorized me and anyone he encounters the place he feels that he’s mentally stronger than them he’ll terrorize them. It’s very passive-aggressive the place he’ll get proper in your face, and he’ll simply stare at you and discuss. He can whisper and it nonetheless offers you the goosebumps and also you’re petrified of him. Craig is the kind of one that can get proper near a toddler and sound actually evil of their ear and scare them in order that they’re quiet as a result of he used to do this to his daughter when she was little. He may have completed that to Charlotte. He may have scared her so unhealthy on the best way to his mom’s that she was completely quiet.”
WTF?!
