On 19th July, 2025 a call was received by Warren County’s emergency services just before 10 p.m. On the phone, a man reported his 9-year-old daughter missing in Lake George, New York near Exit 22 on I-87. The caller was identified as 45-year-old Luciano Frattolin from Canada. The possible abducted child was his daughter, Melina Frattolin. An immediate search was called after the call was received.
