According to authorities, the Warren County Sheriff's Office (WCSO) is investigating the case as a child abduction. "The child was taken under circumstances that lead police to believe that they are in imminent danger of serious bodily harm and/or death," the state police announcement read. A suspect was unknown at the time of the Amber Alert, and authorities are encouraging anyone with information tied to the girl's whereabouts to call the WCSO at 518-743-2501 or to dial 911. Frattolin is described as being of Indian descent with brown hair and blue eyes. She is five feet tall, weighs 100 pounds and was last seen wearing a blue-and-white striped shirt, shorts and white Adidas sneakers. State police and the WCSO did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for updated information on July 19. The Times Union of Albany reported that the initial Amber Alert said Frattolin was last seen at 7:40 p.m., before the time was updated to 9:40 p.m. The outlet reported that the alert did not elaborate on what the girl was doing at the time of the reported abduction, where she was or who she was with. Per the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, Frattolin's case marks the third active Amber Alert issued in the U.S. Others currently active involve two teens who have been missing in Idaho since June. Amber Alerts are activated in "the most serious child-abduction cases," per the NCMEC, which reported that 1,268 children have been "recovered" as a result of them since the end of 2024 — 226 of which followed Wireless Emergency Alert messages. In New York, the state police administer the alerts. "The goal of an AMBER Alert is to instantly galvanize the community to assist in the search for and safe recovery of a missing child. These alerts are broadcast through radio, TV, road signs, cellphones, and other data-enabled devices," the nonprofit shared on its website, further explaining that the system is being used in all 50 states and beyond.

Summer Wells case: 4 years since Tennessee girl went missing
(NewsNation) — Sunday marks four years since five-year-old Summer Wells disappeared from her home in Tennessee. Wells was reported missing on June 15, 2021, and there has been an active Amber Alert ever since. Her parents said that she was helping her mother and grandmother plant flowers before she went inside to play with her toys. Then, she was never seen again. Body believed to be of missing 2-year-old found in NYC waters Wells' mother, Candus Wells, said, 'I yelled downstairs for her a couple of times, and I didn't get an answer. Which was unusual because usually she always answers me, so I went down there to check and she was nowhere inside, she was just gone.' Four years later, police are still searching for answers in Summer Wells' disappearance. Police had been told about a pickup truck that was reportedly seen in the area around when the five-year-old vanished. However, they only know that it is either a red or maroon Toyota truck with ladders on the back. Since there aren't many clues, if police do end up finding the truck, they still aren't sure if it is connected to her disappearance. But Wells' father said he won't stop praying that Summer Wells is found. Police also had a tip from a neighbor in 2021, who claimed she and her children heard a scream about one hour before Summer Wells vanished. The witness said, 'Wish every day that when I heard that scream, I didn't try to dismiss it.' Remains of Texas family missing in Alaska believed to be recovered Unfortunately, this tip didn't lead police any closer to finding the five-year-old. 'We have hope, always. But there's not much hope in this world. We have to trust God that there's hope in eternal life in heaven,' he said. Summer's parents were never named as suspects in the case, and they both passed a polygraph test. However, Hawkins County Sheriff Ronnie Lawson had said that everyone was a person of interest. Wells' parents told NewsNation affiliate WJHL that they were frustrated with the investigation. Candus Wells and her husband, Don Wells, believe their daughter was kidnapped and didn't just walk away. 'We know that she was taken off our property. We know that she was taken away in a vehicle or they would've found her in the area if she was somewhere in the area,' Don Wells said. He also criticized the Department of Children's Services for taking Summer Wells' siblings away when she vanished. 'We were stripped away from all our kids. All our kids have been kidnapped from us by DCS, and we're not sure about Summer, but we know about where our boys are at,' her father said. No one has been arrested or named a person of interest in the five-year-old's disappearance. Her family has said they have dealt with harassment online. 'Before you know it, you're getting a mob going. My wife could go to the store, and somebody would scream at her, 'Baby killer,'' Don Wells explained. He claimed that the harassment was so bad that he had to leave the state in order to find work. Summer Wells lived with her parents before her disappearance in Rogersville, Tennessee, a small town in Hawkins County. She reportedly went missing after going inside her home to play with her toys. Her family thinks she could've been taken down the hill behind their home, possibly to a car. Don Wells spoke with NewsNation about his daughter's disappearance, saying, 'I know in my heart and in my mind she was abducted. Someone snuck up there… and we don't know if they came in the basement and grabbed her or if she stepped outside the basement and was walking to her swing…' At the time, police had issued an endangered child alert and searched the woods and other areas near their home. Police have received many tips since Summer Wells went missing, but none of them have led to any concrete answers. Investigators said the case is active, and they have completed many searches as well as created age-progression photos. But they haven't found any clues as to where she went. 'The case is one that we've just not been able to overcome. And it's troubling,' Tennessee Bureau of Investigation Assistant Director Josh Melton said. 'We don't have the evidence in this case to know for sure whether or not Summer was abducted or whether or not she walked away from her home and became lost.'

She has blue eyes, blonde hair and was last seen wearing a pink shirt with gray pants. Anyone who has information on her case should contact TBI at 1-800-TBI-FIND. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
