Ugh. This case simply went from horrifying to infuriating.
In November 2022, Madalina Cojocari mysteriously vanished from her house in Cornelius, North Carolina. She was simply 11 years previous. What made the case immediately suspicious is the very fact she wasn’t formally reported lacking to police till 22 DAYS after she disappeared. Her stepfather Christopher Palmiter solely reported the woman lacking to her faculty, to not legislation enforcement. It was the varsity school who ultimately referred to as police after they’d exhausted their very own avenues to trace down the lacking youngster. Her mom Diana Cojocari did nothing in any respect.

Naturally police have been suspicious of the dad and mom, however a search of the kid’s house turned up nothing. All that they had on Madalina’s mother was failure to report her youngster lacking. They did cost her, and Diana spent practically a yr and a half in jail. Only a couple months in the past, in Could, she was launched. However that doesn’t imply authorities are accomplished along with her. After her launch, the Cornelius Police Division made it clear for the primary time she was completely a suspect in her daughter’s disappearance, posting on their Fb:
“We proceed to hunt data on the whereabouts of Madalina Cojocari who hasn’t been seen since November twenty first, 2022. Her mom, Diana Cojocari, is taken into account a suspect in her disappearance.”
Diana remains to be technically serving a suspended sentence. You’d suppose that, plus being a suspect in her youngster’s disappearance, would preserve her from being allowed to go away the nation. However earlier this month a FB group devoted to the case posted a pic she supposedly shared from a airplane in a foreign country!
That claims she’s on her method from JFK airport to Frankfurt, Germany after which to Bucharest, Romania after 9 years away from her house nation.
It wasn’t clear this was truly a brand new photograph — however Diana appears to have confirmed it herself on her personal FB account. Per The US Solar, she’s been posting images from the countryside, apparently scenes of picturesque Romania. Within the caption for one she wrote, “Si asta e Romania” — which interprets to:
“And that is Romania.”
Man, she actually seems happy-go-lucky, doesn’t she? If she actually simply left the nation whereas being a suspect in an lively investigation into the disappearance of an 11-year-old… Properly, we guess Madalina can be 13 now. Rattling. Simply appears loopy they’d let her go, proper? Properly, it sounds just like the cops couldn’t do a lot to cease her.
Cornelius PD Chief David Baucom advised the Solar:
“The police division is conscious of the posts that point out Diana Cojocari might have left the nation nonetheless we’re unable to substantiate this data. None of her property was launched and we’re unable to forestall her from leaving the nation. She doesn’t at present have any lively warrants for her arrest.”
So we guess in the event that they do discover something they’ll nonetheless doubtlessly have the ability to observe her down. There is an extradition treaty between the US and Romania.
What do YOU take into consideration Madalina’s mother simply residing a cheerful new life after her daughter’s disappearance… the one she didn’t trouble reporting??
