Charlotte Sena’s accused abductor wanted to get rich off girl’s grandfather’s lawsuit money, ex-girlfriend says
Hindustan TimesThe ex-girlfriend of Craig Ross Jr., 46, who allegedly kidnapped 9-year-old Charlotte Sena from a park in upstate New York and demanded $50,000 for her release, said he was after the money that the girl’s late grandfather had won in a lawsuit. Preece said that Ross was “evil” and believed he stalked Charlotte and her family for a long time before kidnapping her. “He’s the type of person where he pre plans and it can be months ahead to do something.” Preece said that Ross “terrorized” her when they were together and that he once “grabbed her by the throat with both hands” and threw her across a room, according to court documents obtained by the Daily Mail. Police are now looking into any links between Ross and other unsolved cases in the area, including the abduction and murder of 18-year-old Jennifer Hammond and 19-year-old Christina White, the Saratoga County Sheriff’s Office said.
