Luciano Frattolin, 45, is facing second-degree murder charges after his 9-year-old daughter, Melina, was found dead in a shallow pond in Ticonderoga, NY—just a day after he reported her missing.
Visiting from Montreal, Luciano initially claimed Melina was abducted, but police found holes in his story. Surveillance footage showed her safe earlier that evening, and she had just spoken to her mother. Authorities believe she was killed soon after.
Known for sharing loving posts about Melina, calling her his “guiding light,” Luciano is now at the center of a heartbreaking case that has sparked public outrage. He remains in jail, and an autopsy is underway.
