Governor Hochul meets with Charlotte Sena parents
Hochul met with Sena’s parents Sunday morning.
“I just met with Charlotte’s parents, David and Trisha, obviously distraught. And as a mother and as a grandmother, I cannot imagine the pain they’re going through. They shared with me how joyful their little girl is”, Hochul indicated.
Charlotte went out for a bike ride around dinner time and did a couple of loops with close friends before deciding to go around one more time by herself. It was still light out at the time, Hochul said.
“That’s where the nightmare literally begins,” Hochul said noting that Charlotte’s parents, David and Trisha Sena starting calling her name after she hadn’t returned several minutes later.
Tricia Sena called 911 at 6:47 p.m. Saturday, Hochul said.

Her parents knew immediately something was up. They called her name. People started searching, people from other campgrounds joined. And 30 minutes later, at 6:47, Charlotte’s mother, Trisha, called 911. The scene was chaotic. People leaving their food, leaving their tables, just everyone in search, calling the name, “Charlotte, Charlotte.” By 7:00 p.m., the state police were on site.
