Charlotte Sena disappearance: Moreau Lake State Park in New York closes amid search for missing 9-year-old

The frantic search for missing 9-year-old Charlotte Sena has led to the closure of Moreau Lake State Park near Albany, New York, where authorities believe she may have been abducted Saturday evening.

Park officials announced on Sunday afternoon that the park will be closed until further notice due to law enforcement activity in the area surrounding the child’s disappearance. Visitors were asked to stay away from the park and leave the search to authorities and professional teams.

“Please also send all love and light to the family as well as the people searching,” the park wrote on Facebook.

Sena was on a camping trip with her family when she was last seen going for a bike ride on Loop A at approximately 6:15 p.m., the Albany Times Union reported.
