The girl, who authorities said was under 13, vanished on a bike ride with friends in Moreau Lake State Park some 45 miles north of Albany around dinner time on September 30. And her kidnapper, Craig Nelson Ross Jr., wrote a ransom note to try to get money, court documents state.
Following a search for the child involving hundreds of personnel from multiple agencies, investigators found her alive October 2 at a property in Ballston Spa, some 20 miles from the park, authorities said.
Under a plea agreement in New York’s Saratoga County, the prosecution has recommended that a judge sentence Ross to 47 years to life in prison, including 25 years to life for a first-degree kidnapping charge and 22 years to life for a charge of predatory sexual assault against a child.
