Madalina Cojocari was last seen just before Thanksgiving, stepping off her school bus at her home in Cornelius. A bus camera recorded her exit. The footage shows the sixth grader making her way down the aisle and disembarking at 4:59 p.m. That marked the last day Madalina was present at school.

Two weeks after classes resumed and Madalina did not come back, the staff at Bailey Middle School reached out to her mother, Diana, to inquire about her whereabouts. On December 15, Diana Cojocari went to the school and informed a resource officer that Madalina was missing.
