Ticonderoga, NY (WRGB) — A man is facing murder charges in the death of his 9-year-old daughter, who was the subject of an AMBER Alert over the weekend. Authorities now believe, Melina Galanis Frattolin, was never truly missing, and that her father, Luciano Frattolin staged the entire disappearance to cover up her death.

Police sent an alert to people's phones saying Melina Galanis Frattolin was last seen southbound in a white van on I-87 near exit 22 at 9:40 p.m. Saturday.

The search for Melina Frattolin ended in tragedy Sunday after state police found her body in Ticonderoga, New York.
