9-year-old Charlotte Sena went missing on Saturday during her family camping trip at New York’s Moreau Lake State Park. Multiple agencies quickly jumped on the case including the FBI.

On Monday, authorities found fingerprints left behind on the ransom note which were instrumental in identifying 47-year-old Craig Ross and tracking him to a residence where he was arrested and the girl was found hidden in a cabinet. Sena appeared physically unharmed and was taken to a hospital to be examined.

Ross has been charged with first-degree kidnapping and is being held without bail. In addition to the prints, investigators also analyzed cell phone pings around the time charlotte disappeared, park records with evidence of visitors and more. All of these measures culminated to charlotte being returned to her family.
