Charlotte Sena was discovered by police two days after a man kidnapped her from her home in Upstate New York. The young girl was on a camping trip when she was abducted by 47-year-old Craig Nelson Ross, Jr. Police identified the kidnapper after he drove to Charlotte's family home and left a ransom note in their mailbox. They managed to identify him after testing the fingerprints left on the ransom note. After confirming his identity on Monday, officers rushed to a camper where the suspect was living. They arrested the 47-year-old and then found Charlotte hiding in a cabinet in the camper. Thankfully, the young girl wasn't harmed, but she was taken to the hospital as is "customary". New York Gov. Kathy Hochul told CNN: "She knew she was being rescued. She knew she was in safe hands." Kathy Hochul also said Charlotte is doing relatively well despite what has happened to her. Craig Nelson Ross, Jr. remains in police custody. He will be charged in due course.Explore more on these topics:
