The suspect arrested for the abduction of Charlotte Sena allegedly wrote a terrifying ransom note to her parents demanding money for their daughter’s safe return
The suspect in custody for abducting Charlotte Sena allegedly left a terrifying ransom note at the girl’s parents’ house, demanding money for her safe return.
During a press conference on Monday evening, New York Governor Kathy Hochul confirmed that 47-year-old Craig Ross, Jr., was arrested in relation to the case after the authorities tracked fingerprints from the ransom letter back to him.
It was a case of intense sleuthing that was cracked in just a day, she said, beginning at 4:20am on Monday, when someone, presumably Ross, drove up to the mailbox at Charlotte’s parents’ house and dropped off the ransom note. He had suspected that they weren’t home, and they weren’t, but the police were there, and they surveilled, then went out to retrieve what he had dropped off as soon as he left.
