Alleged killer dad Luciano Frattolin spotted in woods
A New York woman thinks she saw accused killer dad Luciano Frattolin 'running up a hill' close to where his 9-year-old daughter was found drowned. Rebecca Kulickowski, a lifelong resident of Ticonderoga in upstate New York, told News10 that she submitted two police reports after seeing a man she now believes was Frattolin running away from his car on Saturday evening, when Melina Frattolin is thought to have been killed. Kulickowski was driving through Ticonderoga toward Schroon Lake when she saw a Toyota Prius stopped in the road. 6 Police arrested Luciano Frattolin after he claimed his daughter had been abducted. Instagram/Luciano Frattolin 'It only caught my eye because as I was driving past the car, I seen a skinny tall guy,' she told News10. 'And he was running up a hill that he was parked next to and there was a wooded area on the bottom of it,' she said. 'I just didn't feel right, there was something about him, I don't know, our eyes locked when I drove by, he looked at me,' she said. Kulickowski did not see a child with the man at the time — but immediately contacted police when she got an Amber Alert about little Melina on Sunday. 'We got an alert and I was like, 'God no.' I can't even tell you what I felt in that moment, it was horrible,' she said. 6 Frattolin is being held at the Essex County Jail in upstate New York Essex County Sheriff's Office The alert was triggered by the girl's dad claiming she'd been kidnapped, which officials later said appeared to be a hoax. The alert was called off when Melina's body was discovered pinned under a log in Eagle Lake, between Ticonderoga and Schroon Lake, close to where Kulickowski saw the suspicious man. 6 The suspect lied that his daughter had been abducted, police said.

9-year-old Canadian girl died by drowning in NY, spoke to mother an hour before; cops seek arrested father's footage
9-year-old Canadian girl Melina Frattolin died by drowning in NY, the autopsy report revealed. Melina Galanis Frattolin, the 9-year-old Canadian girl who was found dead after her father complained that she was kidnapped, died by drowning, the autopsy report revealed Tuesday afternoon. The cops are now seeking additional footage of the father, Luciano Frattolin -- arrested and charged with murder -- from the night that he called police to report a kidnapping. Melina's cause of death was asphyxia due to drowning, though it is not known whether she drowned in the same waterbody where she was found dead or whether her body was placed there under a log by her father. Luciano pleaded not guilty to the second-degree murder charge and the concealment of human corpse and is now in jail. The father raised suspicion as police said he concocted the story of a car abducting his daughter. When he called 911, he had already killed his daughter, disposed of the body, as police found no car, as the father mentioned. The father said when he stopped his car to urinate, his daughter was kidnapped by two men. The cops are now seeking additional video evidence or eyewitness accounts of Luciano's car, a grey 2024 Toyota Prius travelling on Interstate 87 between Ticonderoga and Lake George, specifically from Exit 28 to Exit 20. Melina spoke to her mother an hour before death Melina and her father were seen at a restaurant in Saratoga Springs around 5.30 pm Saturday. Almost an hour later, Melina called her mother and she seemed fine. Police said Melina's mother had the full custody of the daughter though Luciano was authorized to take her on a vacation and the mother did not believe he posed any threat to the daughter. Then the father called 911 just before 10 pm. Investigators are hunting for footage of the car between this time as they believe Melina was killed in this time frame. The body was found the next day when the father-daughter duo were supposed to go back to Montreal. Father has no criminal record, involved in five lawsuits The father, a cafe owner, has no criminal record or any history of domestic violence. He is currently involved in five lawsuits that were all filed this year. Frattolin is the plaintiff in four of the lawsuits. In the one in which he is the defendant, he is being sued for more than $83,000 by a bank.

Milwaukee Brewers are an 'island of misfit toys' – and MLB's hottest team
They're that Toyota Prius in a parking lot full of Bentleys and Rolls-Royces. They're that ground chuck burger on a menu with tomahawk steaks and lobster tails. They are the unwanted, the discarded, and the castoffs of Major League Baseball. They are the Milwaukee Brewers. 'The island," Brewers reliever Grant Anderson tells USA TODAY Sports, 'of misfit toys.'' It was the moniker Brewers pitching coach Chris Hook placed on his staff, with Brewers manager Pat Murphy chiming in, saying his entire team, is 'Just a bunch of average Joes." MLB POWER RANKINGS: Brewers sweep Dodgers again, leaving big-bucks LA in dust Well, these anonymous castoffs just may be the best darn team in all of baseball, tied with the Chicago Cubs for baseball's best record, 60-41, while winning 35 of their last 48 games, including 11 of their last 12. Yes, the Brewers, whose $124 million payroll is the seventh-smallest in baseball, and less than what the Los Angeles Dodgers are projected to pay in luxury tax penalties this year. Yes, the Brewers, who don't have a single player hitting .300, who has 20 homers, or whose WAR ranks higher than 60th in MLB. Yes, the Brewers, who have only two players earning more than $10 million this season. 'No one knows who we are," Murphy says, 'but we do. It's like I told the reporters in LA. No disrespect to the great fans of Japan baseball, but they can't name five players in our lineup.' Well, hate to break the news to Murphy, but baseball fans right here in the good ol' USA can't name five Brewers players, either. Sure, go ahead and try. There's former MVP and two-time batting champion Christian Yelich. There's 21-year-old center field sensation Jackson Chourio. There's two-time All-Star catcher William Contreras. There's uh, well, that kid who throws 101mph on every pitch, what's his name, Miz something? Anyone else? 'We don't get recognized anywhere," Brewers left fielder Isaac Collins says. 'I mean, even in town, I think I've only been recognized once or twice. No one knows who we are." Well, considering they're on pace to reach the postseason for the seventh time in the last eight years, with four NL Central Division titles, it's about time everyone finds out. 'We're going to start wearing 'Power of Friendship' T-shirts," All-Star closer Trevor Megill says, 'then people can start recognizing who we are. I mean, people were freaking out last year when we won 93 games. Maybe they didn't think we could do it again." The Brewers are reminding folks that even if you don't wear Armani suits, Gucci shoes and David Yurman gold chains, all you need is a comfortable pair of spikes, a broken-in glove, the right bat, and the unselfish desire to play the game the right way to make the rich and famous wallowing in jealousy. The Brewers have no power, and not a lot of speed, but, oh, do they play the game hard, they play it right, and they will beat your brains in playing small ball. 'We're the little engine that could," Murphy says. 'We have no pop. We have no slug. We don't have a lot of things. But we have a lot of heart 'These guys are hungry. 'And it's hard to be hungry when you're full." The Brewers make up for their power deficit by putting the ball in play. They rarely strike out. They bunt. They hit-and-run. They play defense. They attack. Simply, they're relentless. 'It's nice for America to see that our brand of baseball works," Collins says. 'You don't have to live and die by the long ball. You just have to do all of the little things right. 'That's all we're doing, just being ourselves." And, poking a little of fun at themselves in the process. When the Brewers signed a backup player for $1.35 million during the winter, Murphy sent Andrew Friedman, Dodgers president of baseball operations a note: "Hey Andy, sorry, but when you were signing Shohei Ohtani, [Yoshinobu] Yamamoto and Blake Snell, we stole this guy from you. Sorry about that." When players are traded to Milwaukee, GM Matt Arnold cracks, 'You don't get traded to the big leagues. You get traded to Milwaukee JUCO." And when you enter the Brewers clubhouse, you feel as if you're walking into a movie set or a comedy club, with Murphy being called 'Patches O'Houlihan," from the 2004 movie 'Dodgeball." 'That's what we do here,'' Murphy says. 'We dodge, duck, dip, dive and dodge. We need to get those T-shirts made." This also is the place where you can be released, designated for assignment, traded or dumped, and come resurrect your career. The Brewers will take your sick, your hungry, your weary, and even your ex-Colorado Rockies. The Brewers acquired reliever Nick Mears from the Rockies for two minor leaguers last July, and picked up Collins from the Rockies in 2022 in the Triple-A phase of the Rule 5 Draft. Mears has since become one of their most reliable relievers, yielding a .200 batting average this season with a 0.86 WHIP – sixth among all relievers. Collins won the starting left field job and is hitting .269 with a .777 OPS. 'It seems like half the guys here have been DFA'd or come over in a trade," Mears says, 'but once you get over here, you buy into the culture. There's a hunger to win, especially coming from a bad team. You want to prove to yourself that you're more than just a DFA guy. Just imagine how first baseman Andrew Vaughn was feeling. The former first-round pick couldn't even stick with the Chicago Sox. He was demoted and sent back to the minors for the first time since 2019. He was still languishing in the minors when Brewers veteran Aaron Civale asked to be traded, upset he was being taken out of the rotation for rookie sensation Jacob Misiorowski. In less than 24 hours, Arnold was sending Civale to the White Sox for Vaughn. Vaughn returned to the minors but when first baseman Rhys Hoskins sprained a thumb ligament two weeks ago, he was summoned. Vaughn hit a three-run homer in his first at-bat with the Brewers, and never stopped, hitting .333 with two doubles, two homers, 12 RBI and a 1.071 OPS during an 11-game winning streak. 'It's pretty special being here," Vaughn says. 'You can see why they have so much success." There is starter Quinn Priester, given up by the Pittsburgh Pirates after being a first-round draft pick in 2019, and then the Boston Red Sox, who traded him April 7 to the Brewers. The Red Sox didn't think he could help them, but the Brewers believed in his pedigree, and with a little tinkering of his arsenal, could be a force. You think the Red Sox could use him now? Priester, who added a cut-fastball to his arsenal, is 8-2 with a 3.33 ERA. He pitched six shutout innings, yielding just three hits and striking out 10 without a walk in his last outing against the Dodgers. 'I remember as soon as I got traded here," Priester says, 'I had a bunch of guys text me telling me how good this team is developing pitchers in the system, and they do such a great job. You look at how many of us came from different organizations and got better here. 'We're not here to prove people wrong, but to just enjoy the camaraderie, with everyone buying in to do whatever it takes to win." There is Caleb Durbin, a Division III player at Washington University in St. Louis, who was traded twice in two years without spending a day in the big leagues. The Brewers scouts loved his fiery demeanor, playing almost with a chip in his shoulder, knowing his style perfectly fit Murphy's mold. So, when the Brewers traded All Star closer Devin Williams to the Yankees, they made sure Durbin was in the deal along with veteran starter Nestor Cortes. 'I know we're a small market team," Durbin says, 'but we're still a big-league team. We still have good baseball players. It's just we're overlooked because of our makeup. 'That's OK. We know how good we are. If you're not ready to scrap nine innings with us, at the end of the game, you're going to be on the wrong end of it." Infielder Joey Ortiz came over from Baltimore in the Corbin Burnes trade along with pitcher DL Hall. He was their starting third baseman last season, is now a Gold Globe candidate at shortstop, reminding Arnold of former defensive whizzes Walt Weiss or Rey Ordonez. Megill was an original Padre. Then a Cub. Then a Twin. And two years later, after being acquired by the Brewers for a player to be named later, Megill is now an All Star. He has 44 saves the last two years and became the Brewers' full-time closer when the Brewers traded Williams. 'When we told him he made the All Star team," Arnold says, 'he gave me a big hug. It was like hugging a Sequoia tree. He's just a big moose. We thought he could handle the job, and he's been great." Williams sensed he was gone last year after giving up that game-winning homer to Mets first baseman Pete Alonso in the Division series. It was a gut-wrenching end to the Brewers' season, the last game beloved Hall of Fame broadcaster Bob Uecker called. 'That was as tough a loss as I've ever been part of," Arnold says. 'But nobody said, 'That's it.' We've been knocked down a lot of times here. We always get up. 'We have a standard here that we tried to hold ourselves to. We're never going to make excuses where we are in the world being the smallest market in baseball. We believe in ourselves, but we just have to do it differently, try to be creative, and have guys that nobody heard of step up." It was really no different when the Brewers opened the season losing their first four games of the season by a combined score of 47-15, the biggest run differential in MLB history. They still were four games under .500 (21-25) six weeks into the season. Then, a funny thing happened. The pitching staff, which opened the season with 11 of their top 16 pitchers injured, began to get healthy. Those cast-offs started gelling. And then, on May 25, they rallied from a 5-3 deficit in the eighth inning against the Pirates to win, 6-5. They have since been baseball's hottest team. 'We don't have guys making $20 million a year," says Anderson, who's on his third team after being designated for assignment last December by the Rangers, 'like we did when I was in Texas. We don't have four MVPs in the lineup like the Dodgers. We don't have a lot of things. 'But we believe in each other. We know how to win games. And we have a lot of confidence." It's proven to be quite the lethal combination So, you may want to hurry up and get to know these Brewers' names. Come October, it could be quite handy.

DRIVING THE FUTURE
The conversation around climate change is no longer theoretical. It's personal. For many Malaysians, it's about the floods that arrive more frequently, the hotter days, the rising cost of living – and most of all, the choices we make every day that contribute to a better tomorrow. One of the most impactful decisions? The car we drive. Enter Toyota Hybrids: the pioneering force behind making green driving both accessible and aspirational. For decades, Toyota has led the global transition to electrified mobility and today, its range of hybrid vehicles represents more than just environmental consciousness – it embodies style, practicality and forward-thinking innovation that's uniquely suited to the Malaysian way of life. Leader in hybrid innovation Toyota's commitment to electrification began long before it was trendy. Since the launch of the world's first mass-produced hybrid vehicle, the Toyota Prius in 1997, the company has continuously evolved its hybrid technology to meet the growing demand for cleaner, smarter transportation. Today, Toyota has sold more than 20 million hybrid vehicles globally, a testament to its reliability, innovation and unwavering pursuit of sustainability. In Malaysia, the momentum is building. With traffic congestion a daily reality and fuel prices always top of mind, Malaysians are increasingly embracing vehicles that offer better mileage, lower emissions and a smoother driving experience. And that's exactly where Toyota Hybrids shine. Designed for Malaysian roads Let's face it – Malaysian traffic is unpredictable. From the standstills of the Federal Highway to the winding roads of Penang and the daily gridlocks in the Klang Valley, our driving conditions demand more from our cars. Toyota's hybrid systems are designed to handle this with ease. Unlike fully electric vehicles that rely on charging stations – still relatively sparse across the country – Toyota's self-charging hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) seamlessly switch between electric and petrol power. This means you get the best of both worlds: fuel savings when crawling through traffic and confident petrol power when cruising on highways. With no need to plug in, Toyota Hybrids are ready whenever you are, offering lower CO2 emissions, exceptional fuel efficiency and a quiet, refined drive. It's a practical solution that meets Malaysians where we are, and where we want to go. Dynamic duo Two standout models in Toyota's hybrid line-up are the Corolla Cross Hybrid and the Camry Hybrid. Both exemplify the brand's core philosophy: innovation without compromise. The Corolla Cross Hybrid is designed for those who crave a dynamic lifestyle. With its sporty SUV stance, versatile interior and confident hybrid performance, it's perfect for young professionals, growing families and weekend adventurers. The elevated driving position provides a sense of command and safety, ideal for navigating both tight city streets and wide-open highways. Inside, the spacious cabin and ample cargo space make it practical for school runs, grocery hauls or packing up for a spontaneous road trip. Equipped with Toyota's latest Hybrid Synergy Drive, it balances power and efficiency seamlessly, allowing for smooth acceleration and quieter rides. Advanced features like Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, wireless charging and Toyota Safety Sense elevate the driving experience, ensuring that convenience and peace of mind come standard. Whether you're heading into the office, exploring new eateries or escaping to nature for the weekend, the Corolla Cross Hybrid adapts to every version of your day with lower emissions and exceptional fuel economy as your constant companion. Then there's the Camry Hybrid, an executive sedan that redefines prestige. With a premium interior, cutting-edge safety features and class-leading fuel efficiency, the Camry Hybrid is tailored for those who want to lead with both style and responsibility. From the moment you slide into its plush leather seats, you're enveloped in a sense of calm and luxury. The 2.5L Dynamic Force engine combined with hybrid technology ensures smooth and powerful performance, while also delivering a fuel economy that leaves conventional sedans behind. It features intuitive tech such as a 9-inch multimedia display, head-up display and premium JBL audio system, turning every commute into a first-class journey. Whether chauffeuring clients or enjoying a personal drive through scenic routes, the Camry Hybrid offers elegance and environmental responsibility in equal measure. Climate goals Malaysia has pledged to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, aligning itself with global efforts to combat climate change. Key to this commitment is the transformation of the transportation sector, which accounts for a significant portion of the country's greenhouse gas emissions. As government policy evolves to encourage the adoption of low-emission vehicles, Malaysian consumers are becoming more environmentally aware. Toyota's hybrid offerings are perfectly positioned to support this shift, providing an achievable, impactful step towards reducing carbon footprints without sacrificing the quality of life. And Toyota doesn't stop at the vehicle itself. Through its Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) approach, Toyota evaluates and reduces environmental impacts throughout a car's entire journey – from development and manufacturing, to usage and end-of-life recycling. This means Toyota Hybrids are not just environmentally conscious during their drive time but throughout their entire lifespan. This commitment to environmental responsibility covers material sourcing, energy usage in production plants, battery longevity and recycling programmes that lower waste and increase efficiency. It's a comprehensive approach that few other automakers embrace so completely. More than eco-conscious There's a growing realisation that driving a hybrid isn't just about being green – it's about driving better. Toyota Hybrids deliver an experience that feels effortlessly modern. The transition between electric and petrol power is seamless. Acceleration is smooth and responsive. Engine noise is minimal. For urban drivers, this means less stress, less fatigue and more enjoyment behind the wheel. For families, it means quieter rides and greater fuel savings. For everyone, it signals a future where advanced mobility is no longer a luxury, but the norm. Accessibility meets aspirational What used to be seen as niche or out-of-reach is now mainstream and within reach. Toyota has worked tirelessly to make hybrid technology affordable without cutting corners on quality or features. With competitive pricing, robust warranty options and a growing support network, owning a Toyota Hybrid is not only smart – it's aspirational. And let's talk design. These cars are anything but boring. Sleek, modern, and confidently styled, Toyota Hybrids make a statement on the road. Whether it's the urban sophistication of the Camry or the sporty versatility of the Corolla Cross, there's a hybrid to match every lifestyle and every taste. The Camry Hybrid is an executive sedan that redefines prestige. Add in features like ambient lighting, sunroofs and advanced driver assistance systems, and you're looking at a vehicle that ticks every box: form, function and forward-thinking. Evolving with you Life moves fast, and your car should move with it. Toyota Hybrids are built to adapt to changing needs. Heading into a new job in a different state? Need space for a growing family? Looking to reduce your monthly petrol bill without compromising comfort? A Toyota Hybrid evolves with you. It's also worth noting that Toyota's global reputation for durability and reliability holds strong with its hybrid models. These are cars built to last – low-maintenance, high-performance and backed by decades of trusted engineering. And for those considering the long-term value, hybrids hold their resale value well and are supported by Toyota's expanding service network and warranty programmes. That means peace of mind now and strong value later. The road ahead Choosing a Toyota Hybrid is more than just a smart purchase. It's a statement of intent. It says you care about how your choices impact the world. It says you value innovation, design and performance. And most importantly, it says you're ready for what's next. In a landscape where sustainability and sophistication are no longer mutually exclusive, Toyota Hybrids offer a chance to drive the future today.

Montreal girl drowned in New York state, autopsy shows. Father charged with murder
MONTREAL — A nine-year-old Montreal girl whose body was found in a shallow pond in Upstate New York on the weekend died from asphyxia due to drowning, New York State Police said Tuesday as they continued their homicide investigation. Police released autopsy results for Melina Frattolin after a forensic pathologist at Glens Falls Hospital in Glens Falls, N.Y., determined the manner of death was homicide. Her father, Luciano Frattolin, 45, a resident of Montreal, is facing charges in New York state of second-degree murder and the concealment of a human corpse. A not-guilty plea was entered on his behalf during an initial court appearance on Monday. Start your day with a roundup of B.C.-focused news and opinion.

Police said the body of his daughter was found on Sunday in Ticonderoga, N.Y., about 50 kilometres northeast of Lake George near the New York-Vermont boundary. Police have said the motive for the girl's death is under investigation. They have also said Frattolin has no criminal or domestic violence history. Frattolin and Melina's mother had been estranged since 2019. Melina lived full time with her mother, who had not expressed concerns about letting her daughter spend time with her father, police said. On Tuesday, they asked the public for help in the case, releasing photos of a grey 2024 Toyota Prius used by Frattolin and his daughter during their stay in the United States. Police specifically were looking for video or eyewitness accounts on the evening of July 19. Melina spoke with her mother over the phone at about 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, and did not appear to be under duress, police said. About three and a half hours later, Frattolin called 911 and reported his nine-year-old daughter missing and possibly abducted. Police determined the father's version was not true and a search by several agencies on Sunday afternoon turned up her body. Frattolin has operated businesses that have been mired in several legal proceedings in Montreal since the beginning of 2025. In one case, documents reviewed by The Canadian Press show that Scotiabank was suing Frattolin to recover more than $150,000 in unpaid credit card bills. Frattolin also filed a lawsuit against a man hired to manage a property in a trendy Montreal borough he was operating as a short-term rental. His lawyers said they were launching the case after Frattolin learned, last August, that his landlord had terminated a lease due to 10 months of unpaid rent, adding up to more than $26,000. Frattolin accused the property manager of failing to do his job and pay the rent. The court documents said Frattolin was living in Canada part time and using the short-term rental business to pay for his daughter's monthly child support and his expenses. But he did not receive the revenues anticipated and instead was 'left with considerable sums to pay the arrears of rent, interests penalties and charges related to the property,' the filing reads. 'Furthermore, Frattolin stored some of his personal belongings and his daughters' winter clothes and toys before leaving the country,' the filing reads, adding he is unable to access the property to recover those items. His lawyer also alleged that the property manager had accused Frattolin of emptying the business bank account and fleeing to Italy. But the lawyer denied this in a letter. 'He did not return to Italy to evade anything,' the lawyer's letter read. Frattolin also alleged in the filing, which has not been tested in court, that the property manager threatened to work with the mother of his child to prevent him from entering the province of Quebec due to the business's unpaid taxes. In two other cases, Frattolin filed motions against various telecommunications giants, seeking an order compelling them to disclose the identity of someone who allegedly accessed his email account over several months. Frattolin described himself a loving father, traveller and coffee lover on his Instagram page. He is the owner of a coffee importing and distribution business, and an online biography that has since been removed described him as the son of an Ethiopian mother and Italian father with a varied business background. The biography said Frattolin has been living in Montreal in order to spend more time with 'his beautiful daughter Melina,' who is the 'light of his life.' The biography also alludes to personal struggles: his mixed ethnicity led to 'incidences of racism and feelings of isolation,' and his father died when Frattolin was 17. It also refers to a period of time in which he 'lost his passion for the art of life,' and an 'unfortunate event' in February 2019 that 'severely affected his well-being.' Police say 2019 was the year he separated from Melina's mother. Frattolin is due back in court on Friday in Ticonderoga.
