In a dramatic turn of events, Craig Ross Jr. faced an emergency hearing before Justice Tim Brown at the Milton Town Court in the early morning hours, charged with kidnapping Charlotte Sena.
New York State Police detailed the grave accusations in a felony complaint, asserting that Ross held the victim with the explicit intention of securing a ransom. Held without bail, he faces a single charge of first-degree kidnapping, as confirmed by State Police on Tuesday morning.
A high-stakes operation unfolded on Monday evening, as state and federal tactical teams stormed a camper located behind Ross’s mother’s double-wide trailer in Milton, just outside Saratoga Springs. Governor Hochul revealed in a Friday evening news briefing in Latham that, after facing resistance, the suspect was apprehended within the camper. In a moment of relief, authorities discovered the young victim hidden in a cabinet, promptly rescuing her.
Charlotte, was swiftly transported to a local hospital, where she was reunited with her family.
