'In an interview with Octavian Cebanu (a relative of Diana), he stated that Diana Cojocari and her mother asked him if he would assist Diana with "smuggling" her and Madalina Cojocari away from the residence,' according to a new search warrant application
Madalina Cojocari went missing on Nov. 21 of last year.
Search efforts got underway for the 11-year-old girl from North Carolina on Dec.15, but three months later there is still no sign of Madalina despite the efforts of the Cornelius Police Department, North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation, and Federal Bureau of Investigation.
On Feb. 14, Det. Gina Patterson of the Cornelius Police Department filed an application for a search warrant in Mecklenburg County Superior Court. That application contained two new pieces of information about the case, starting with a relative's claim that Diana and Madalina were trying to move away from Palmiter.
"Octavian stated that she told him she was in a bad relationship with co-defendant Christopher Palmiter and wanted a divorce." Det. Patterson then reviewed Diana's cell records, leading to another discovery. "On Thursday, February 10, 2023, Cornelius Police Department Detectives and NCSBI Agents reviewed phone records for Diana Cojocari [Phone number redacted]. When reviewing phone numbers that defendant, Cojocari, contacted, she had an extensive communication on December 2, 2022 with a known subject, Octavian Cebanu (Phone Number [redacted])," Det. Patterson writes. "In reviewing this subject's phone records, there was multiple calls to phone numbers belonging to unidentified targets involved in ongoing T3 drag/narcotic trafficking investigations," according to the affidavit.
Det. Patterson decided to conduct a search of Diana's compounded car with a K-9 after learning about the calls to unidentified persons involved in drug trafficking investigations, according to the application.
A magistrate signed off on that warrant Feb. 13, one day before Det. Patterson applied for a warrant to search the family home.
The K-9 once again alerted inside the vehicle, according to the search warrant obtained by Inside Edition Digital.
That warrant also stated that Det. Patterson came across a number of important papers inside the vehicle, including Madalina's identifying documents.
Those documents include:
Moldova Agroindbank Debit Card belonging to D Cojocari
Madalina Cojocari Romanian and Moldovan Passports
Diana Cojocari Romanian Passport
Miscellaneous Education Certificates and Work Documents.
