A Canadian man whose 9-year-old daughter was found dead after he reported that she had been abducted while they were vacationing in upstate New York was charged Monday with murder.

Luciano Frattolin is charged with murder and concealing of a corpse in the death of his daughter, Melina Frattolin, New York State Police Capt. Robert McConnell said.

A not guilty plea was entered on his behalf at the 45-year-old Montreal man’s arraignment Monday, Times-Union of Albany reported. The lawyer and the public defender’s office assigned to defend Frattolin did not immediately respond to Associated Press phone and email requests for comment.

Luciano Frattolin called 911 Saturday night to report that his daughter had been abducted from a parking lot near Lake George, a resort town in the Adirondack region, authorities said. That led officials to issue an Amber Alert to enlist the public’s help in finding her.

But authorities said over the weekend that there were inconsistencies in the father’s account, and that they concluded there was no evidence she had been taken.
