Charlotte Sena, 9, has been found alive.

The break in the case came early yesterday morning when a car stopped at the mailbox at the Sena family home, leaving what was discovered to be a ransom note. Prints taken from the note were matched to Craig N. Ross, 46 who had been arrested in a 1999 DUI case. Ross is now charged with first-degree kidnapping.  

Police found the 4th grader in a cupboard in Ross’s camper parked behind his mother's home.

BREAKING:  LITTLE CHARLOTTE, 9,  MISSING FROM BIKE RIDE FOUND ALIVE

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/0fdc62f3-c30d-4c3c-b79b-b09000f493ed/transcript

Austin police respond to a home in Del Valle after receiving a 911 call about a 7-year-old girl who discovered starved and locked inside a bedroom closet.

Six other children are also found in the home, but police say it appears they are physically healthy. According to reports, the child was soiled and barricaded in a closet with heavy boxes blocking the door.

An arrest affidavit reveals Virginia Marie Gonzales is accused of locking the 7-year-old girl in a closet for “weeks at a time.” The affidavit further states the girl’s grandmother told police that the child had trouble controlling her bladder and often ate things she shouldn’t.

This allegedly led to her siblings being instructed to keep her locked in the closet.

The 7-year-old was hospitalized and is now recovering. During the investigation, detectives learn about another child, Ava, who has been missing for years. Virginia Marie Gonzales, Ava‘s mother, was arrested on a charge of serious injury to a child in connection with the 7-year-old’s case.

According to police, the missing now 9-year-old child was last seen when she was just 2 years old and in the custody of her mother, Virginia Marie Gonzales.

Now, Gonzales has reversed her initial rejection of a plea offer.   The State first offered Gonzales a 40-year prison sentence in exchange for her guilty plea.   Gonzales now pleads guilty getting 25 years in jail.
