A big challenge in the investigation into what happened to Madalina Cojocari is the lapse in time between when she was reported missing and her actual disappearance.

The 11-year-old North Carolina girl was last seen publicly on November 21. Recorded video shows her getting off the school bus at her stop. Her mother, Diana Cojocari told police the last time she saw Madalina was on November 23. However, she didn’t report her daughter missing for three more weeks.

That chunk of time allowed prosecutors to charge Diana Cojocari and her husband Christopher Palmiter with a felony crime of failure to report a missing child. This crime falls under what’s known as Caylee’s Law.

“With any investigation, let’s face it, 10 minutes is too long but three weeks is a very long time,” John Bischoff, Vice President of the Missing Children Division of the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, told WCNC Charlotte.
