Tragedy in Lake George: 9-Year-Old Melina Frattolin Found Dead After Abduction
I want to talk about something incredibly heartbreaking that's been unfolding in New York — a story that's left a community shaken and a family absolutely devastated. Just last night, a 9-year-old girl named Melina Galanis Frattolin was abducted in Lake George, and within hours, the worst possible news was confirmed: she was found dead. As a parent, as a human being — this is the kind of news that stops you in your tracks.
Melina was last seen around 9:40 p.m. near Exit 22 on I-87, wearing a blue and white striped shirt, light-colored shorts, and white Adidas sneakers. She was described as five feet tall, about 100 pounds, with brown eyes and brown hair. Authorities immediately issued an Amber Alert, stating they believed she was in "imminent danger of serious bodily harm or death." And sadly, they were right.

She was reportedly taken by an unknown suspect in a white van. No specific details about what happened in the moments leading up to her disappearance have been released. We don’t yet know who took her, why, or exactly how this horrific crime unfolded — but the outcome is painfully clear. Just a few hours after she vanished, police confirmed that Melina had been found dead.
Let that sink in for a moment. A little girl — just nine years old — gone in a flash. A child who should’ve been safe, enjoying her summer, maybe laughing with her family by the lake — and now, her life has been taken from her in the most unthinkable way.
This isn’t just another crime story. This is a devastating reality for a family who woke up today without their daughter. And it should be a wake-up call for all of us. There’s a predator out there who saw an opportunity to harm an innocent child — and they succeeded. Law enforcement is continuing the investigation, and anyone with even the smallest piece of information is being urged to come forward by calling the Warren County Sheriff’s Office at 518-743-2501 or dialing 911.
We talk about safety and community, about protecting our kids — but this reminds us how fast something can go terribly wrong. We owe it to Melina, and every other child out there, to stay alert, to support law enforcement, and to never stop demanding answers and justice.
Melina Frattolin deserved so much more than this. She deserved a life full of dreams, love, and possibilities. Instead, we are mourning the senseless loss of yet another child — and we can’t let her name be forgotten.
