Frantic as to where her daughter could be, Martinez recalled her reaction to seeing the place closed down (below): Smartly, Martinez called her daughter’s aunt, Samantha Scaramellino, who is also the girl’s emergency contact with the day care.

Wondering whether Scaramellino could have picked the girl up without remembering to tell her, Martinez quickly discovered that the little girl had not been taken by the aunt.

That immediately led to a major concern, as Samantha told the news outlet: Martinez began pounding on the glass, and suddenly, she sensed movement inside.
