The 9-year-old girl police believe was abducted on Saturday while on a bike ride at a New York state park was found alive and a suspect is in custody, state police said last night. Fourth-grader Charlotte Sena is in "good health" after being located at 6:32 p.m. yesterday following a 48-hour search. A fingerprint on a ransom note that was dropped off at the home of her parents led authorities to a nearby residence where the suspect was found, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said at a news conference. "He literally drove up to the family's mailbox ... at 4:20 in the morning," to drop off the note, Hochul said. The suspect, identified as Craig Nelson Ross Jr., 37, was arrested at an RV trailer, where the girl was found hiding in a cupboard. Here's the latest. |

A $250 million fraud lawsuit brought by N.Y. Attorney General Letitia James against former President Donald Trump, his company and his two adult sons began in court yesterday. Trump is accused of misrepresenting his net worth by billions of dollars, which could have widespread implications for his businesses. Trump sat with his arms crossed in court while AG attorney Kevin Wallace made a presentation to Judge Arthur Engoron saying Trump overvalued his financial statements by $812 million to $2.2 billion, knew they were false and used them to obtain loans with favorable terms. Trump railed against the case during a lunch break. "We're going to be here for months with a judge that already made up his mind. It's ridiculous," he told reporters. Here's what to know in the trial, which is expected to last until December. |

A scene called out by TikTok influencer Mario Mirante (above, left) has some moms telling him to "pipe down." Mirante, who does not have children, shared a story about seeing a child playing at a park while his mother stared at her phone. In his video, Mirante said that when the boy called to his mother to watch him while he was on a slide, she snapped at him. "When your kid isn't doing something wrong, or in danger, you probably shouldn't scream at them. It might have some traumatic effects in the future," he said. Abby Eckel (above, right), a mom of two, took issue with Mirante's mom-shaming in a video of her own. "She is carrying around a mental and emotional load that men will never understand," Eckel told TODAY.com. "As mothers we get judged so harshly." Who do you think is right? Weigh in here. |

A little pick-me-up before you go. |
It's October, which means Michael Myers is back to terrorize a small Midwest town. But it's not Haddonfield, Illinois. The supernatural "Halloween" killer is appearing in Decatur, Indiana, where he might silently be riding a bike down the street or standing in a neighbor's yard with a fake butcher knife in his hand. It's actually Evan Zimmerman, a U.S. Air Force veteran and father of three. He has been jokingly sending a chill through the town during October for four years running. The police know to ignore calls about Michael Myers being on the loose. "A lot of the children want their picture with me," he told us. "I get a lot of requests from parents wanting me to scare their kids." See the funny video that started it all in 2019. |
