Television station WNYT in Albany is reporting that 9-year old Melina Galanis Frattolin, the object of an Amber Alert issued this morning, has been found dead. The station cites sources confirming that she was found deceased.

The Warren County Sheriff’s Office investigated the case before the State Police took over. Law enforcement identified “inconsistencies” in the father’s account of events and the timeline he provided, O’Neil said.

Authorities say the father initially said his daughter had been kidnapped, triggering an Amber Alert and multi-state investigation.

Ticonderoga, NY (WRGB) — A man is charged with murder in connection with the death of his 9-year-old daughter, who was the subject of an AMBER Alert over the weekend. Authorities now believe, Melina Galanis Frattolin, was never truly missing, and that her father, Luciano Frattolin staged the entire disappearance to cover up her death.

Luciano Frattolin is in custody after his daughter, Melina Galanis Frattolin, was found dead in NY after being reported missing over the weekend.

Police in Warren County issued an AMBER Alert early Sunday for a young girl that was missing. Sources have confirmed to NewsChannel 13’s Mark Mullholland that the girl has been found dead. Police have not yet released any information about where the child was found dead.
