Friday in the Trial of Luciano Frattolin, 46, Accused of Killing His Nine-year-old Daughter, Melina Frattolin, During a Trip to New

Frattolin, who lived in Montreal, faces charges of second-degree murder and concealment of a human corpse in Elizabethtown, N.Y. He has pleaded not guilty to both charges and has been held without bail since his arrest in July 2025. On Thursday, the jury saw a video the girl sent her mother on the afternoon of July 19, 2025, less than six hours before she was reported missing. Testimony indicated her phone was last used an hour after sending the video. Her body was found the next day in a marsh in a rural area of New York.
