Authorities say they received a 911 call around 10 p.m. Saturday from a father, who claimed his daughter, Milena, may have been abducted near Exit 22 on I-87. New York State Police said Melina and her father legally entered the U.S. on July 11 on vacation from Canada. They were supposed to return to Montreal on Sunday, July 20.

Milena lives in another state with her mother. Her father and mother have been estranged since 2019, police stated. Milena is seen on surveillance video in Saratoga Springs around 5:30 p.m. with her father, and she speaks with her mother on the phone at around 6:30 p.m.

Sunday morning, authorities search an area that her father was believed to have been in with the Melina, in the upstate town of Ticonderoga, near the border of Vermont.

The motive is still under investigation, officials said. Police said he has no criminal record and no background of domestic violence. Police said their vacation included stops in Connecticut, as well as New York City.
