Summary
A mother’s harrowing testimony in a chilling murder trial reveals how a father’s twisted plans led to the disappearance of his nine-year-old daughter. Kali Galanis told the court her ex, Luciano Frattolin, had once wanted to take Melina to Ethiopia — a trip she refused — and later orchestrated a fake abduction to cover his tracks. When Melina’s body was found submerged under a log in a New York pond, investigators uncovered inconsistencies in Frattolin’s story. His chilling remark — that it would have been “easier” to kill her overseas — sent shivers through the courtroom. The trial continues as Frattolin fights not guilty on murder and body disposal charges. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
