Heartbreaking videos show missing girl, 9, just before her 'abduction'
Heartwrenching footage shot of Charlotte Sena just before she went missing shows her laughing with her family, having the time of her life. None of them knew that in just a few short hours, she'd disappear, vanishing with barely a trace in what's become a case wrought with mystery.
The girl was ultimately found alive Monday evening. Before she vanished, Charlotte was last seen pedalling around Loop A in Moreau Lake State Park in New York at 6:15pm on Saturday. She had bravely decided to travel the loop alone, wanting to show off to her family and prove that she was a "big girl" after having done it with a few family members a few times earlier in the day.
