The death of a 9-year-old girl whose father initially said she was missing and possibly abducted is being investigated amid what police call inconsistencies in the father’s account.

Hours after an Amber Alert was issued for Melina Frattolin on July 20, the 9-year-old was found dead in Ticonderoga, N.Y. Police said 'there is no indication that an abduction occurred' after finding 'inconsistencies' in her father's account of events.

Melina Galanis Frattolin was reported as the victim of a possible abduction on Saturday in Lake George, N.Y. The police found her body on Sunday over 35 miles away and said there was no indication a kidnapping had happened.
