A missing girl has been found safe after police used fingerprints left on a ransom note to track her down.

A ransom note was later delivered to The Family home, and officials said it contained The Suspect 's fingerprints.
Police then identified The Suspect as The Print was on their database linked to a drink-driving incident from 1999.

" After some resistance, The Suspect was taken into custody and immediately the Little Girl was found in a cabinet, " New York Governor Kathy Hochul said at a news conference on Monday night. " She knew she was being rescued. She knew that she was in safe hands.
" What Happened was extraordinary, " She Said .
The Governor named The Suspect as Craig Nelson Ross Jr, 47 and said he was still being questioned. Police said The Investigation was still active.
Charlotte's family were on a camping trip when she went missing on Saturday in a wooded area of Moreau Lake State Park, a popular site about 45 miles (72km) north of Albany.

The Investigation was further assisted by Mobile Phone data and park visitor records, Gov Hochul told CNN.

Charlotte's aunt appealed for information via TikTok, and A Man Who Knew The Family voiced his shock to the New York Times, saying the Senas were " wonderful, wonderful people".
The Search operation unfolded over a distance of nearly 50 miles (80km), police said. The Park was closed off as state troopers Set Up nearby road checkpoints and reportedly asked some drivers to allow their cars to be searched.
The Fbi have also been assisting with the case, Gov Hochul said.
