Father charged with murder after 9-year-old daughter found drowned in Upstate New York pond.

Nine-year-old Montreal girl Melina Frattolin was found dead in a shallow pond in Upstate New York, with autopsy results indicating she died from drowning, classified as a homicide. Her father, Luciano Frattolin, has been charged with second-degree murder and concealing a human corpse. Despite initial claims of an abduction, investigators found inconsistencies in his story.
