A Canadian man is in custody after his 9-year-old daughter was found dead in a wooded area of upstate New York, and authorities say “inconsistencies” in his account of her disappearance triggered an investigation, according to a statement released by the New York State Police (NYSP).

Luciano Frattolin, 45, was arrested early Monday and booked into Essex County Jail at approximately 2:04 a.m.

He is being held pending arraignment in Ticonderoga Town Court, NYSP said. 

His daughter, Melina Galanis Frattolin, was reported missing Saturday night while the pair were visiting Lake George, New York, from Canada.

The investigation into her death remains ongoing, and no charges have yet been formally announced against Frattolin.

In their release, NYSP said the Essex County District Attorney’s Office is involved in the case, and additional updates will be provided pending the autopsy and further investigation. 

A press conference was scheduled for 10 a.m. ET Monday in Latham, New York, where New York State Police were expected to provide more details.
