Charlotte E. Sena was last seen in Saratoga County at around 6:15 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 30 at Moreau Lake State Park in the town of Moreau.
Sena, who has long, blonde hair, is approximately 5-foot-1 and weighs about 90 pounds and was last seen wearing an orange tie-dye Pokemon shirt, dark blue pants, black crocs, and a gray bike helmet.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, who held a news conference Sunday afternoon, Oct. 1 at Moreau Lake State Park to provide an update on the search, said Charlotte Sena was attending a gathering with family and friends when she went missing at the park, which is located just minutes from the family's home.
Charlotte went out for a bike ride around dinner time and did a couple of loops with close friends before deciding to go around one more time by herself.
"That's where the nightmare literally begins," Hochul said noting that Charlotte's parents, David and Trisha Sena starting calling her name after she hadn't returned several minutes later.
Tricia Sena called 911 at 6:47 p.m. Saturday, Hochul said.
By 7 p.m., state police were on site.
"The scene was chaotic with people leaving their tables, and everyone joining the search, and calling the name, 'Charlotte,' " Hochul said.
Aviation units, drones, dogs, including bloodhounds all joined state police on site, along with special response teams, forest rangers, underwater rescue teams, an airboat, and park police.
Charlotte, a fourth-grader, had just been elected to be a class officer for student council. She is a niece of a member of the Schenectady Fire Department.
Anyone with any information on this abduction is asked to call the New York State Police at 518-457-6811 or dial 911 to provide information on a report or sighting.
