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.

Melina Galanis Frattolin’s body was recovered in Ticonderoga, New York – roughly 30 miles away from Lake George, where her father originally reported she was last seen.

Police sent an alert to people's phones saying Melina Galanis Frattolin was last seen southbound in a white van on I-87 near exit 22 at 9:40 p.m. Saturday.

Luciano Frattolin was arrested after his daughter, Melina Galanis Frattolin, was found dead hours after his apparently bogus kidnapping report.

Luciano Frattolin said that his daughter had been the victim of a possible abduction in Lake George, N.Y. On Monday, a day after her body was found, he was charged with second-degree murder.

After initially reporting his daughter missing, Luciano Frattolin was arrested when 8-year-old Melina Galanis Frattolin was found dead in upstate New York.
