- The trial of Christopher Palmiter, the stepfather of Madalina Cojocari, resumed Tuesday after a break for the holiday weekend.
Madalina was 11 years old when she was last seen getting off a school bus in November 2022 before going missing.
The trial resumed with testimony from Bradley Nichols, a Cornelius Police Department detective. The judge said the court is expected to review body-worn camera footage Tuesday.
Nichols began by answering questions from the prosecutor.
Nichols said he first learned about the disappearance of Madalina Cojocari on Dec. 15, 2022. Nichols responded to Bailey Middle School at the request of school resource officer J. Nobles. Nobles was meeting with Diana Cojocari, Madalina's mother, and Danice Lampkin, a school counselor. Lampkin testified on Friday she set up the meeting after noticing Madalina's excessive absences from school.
Nichols said in initial questioning with both Christopher Palamiter and Diana Cojocari, neither parent knew where Madalina was.
Jurors begin watching body-worn camera video recorded by Cornelius Police Department Detective Bradley Nichols during 2022 interviews with Palmiter.
In the Dec. 15, 2022 video, Nichols, the police detective wearing the body camera and who is also testifying in court Tuesday, tells Palmiter he finds it "very concerning" that a young girl could be missing since Thanksgiving and no one knows where she is. "I'm lost for words," he says.

I appreciate you broadcasting this, but it's very hard to hear, even with earbuds. It would be great to have captions, if possible for any other interviews in this case. Thank you. They seem to be treating him as a neighbor, not someone who should absolutely know where his child was. He's actually saying she was might have been in her bedroom for three weeks, and that's why he didn't know she was missing?
he has already been found guilty. It seems like the police don't want to push any of the parents knowing too well that most probably they are involved.
Everything about this man says he's lying when it comes to any question related to her disappearance. Inappropriate laughing, licking his lips, trailing off answers, taking an inordinate amount of time to answer simple questions, posture, leg, and hand placement and movements, notice after answering the tough questions how he "collects" himself, like taking an inventory of how he was acting and what he said. I would bet anything he killed his step-daughter and hid her body. Unfortunately, step-dads have a high rate of sexual abuse on their step-daughters, that is the direction I would pursue in investigating him. The mom could be unwilling to deal with reality, fear of getting deported, fear of being prosecuted is she had told the police about any abuse, fear of her involvement at this point, all of those things would be motivators in her not reporting her disappearance, assaults and death.
Is that officer at the desk typing a transcript? Is there a gap in our law that allows these people to get off with a minor sentence when it's apparent that they know what happened to their 11 year old child? I hear the mom might be deported, but is that the end of it? The State rested their case against this guy already, and the worst that can happen to him is failure to report Madalina's disappearance? I don't understand how this can happen.
They can bring charges at a later date.
I wonder if the local police can handle it? If FBI got into it they could check the Michigan connection and Moldova.
Police should turn down their walkie talkies when interviewing individuals brought in for questioning. And be mindful of how difficult it is for themselves to hear what is being said when they have to rewatch on playback with all the in and out and noise they are making when other police in the room are talking during an interview being recorded on body cam. Interrogation Tactics 101
It's impossible to hear this. I hope the officer is typing a transcript and it will be available to read.
horrible audio quality, thumbs down
