As Diana Cojocari, the mother of missing 11-year-old girl Madalina Cojocari, made her first appearance in court Tuesday before a judge, a new court document reveals new and conflicting details in the investigation. Court document: Parents had a fight before the disappearance Diana Cojocari told investigators she last saw her daughter inside their Cornelius, North Carolina home on the night of Wed., Nov. 23 around 10 p.m., according to the arrest report seen Tuesday in court. The data is consistent with information previously made public by investigators. What was learned publically for the first time Tuesday is that Diana Cojocari claimed she and her husband, Christopher Palmiter, had an argument that night. In interviews with authorities, both Diana Cojocari and Palmiter told investigators he left for Michigan after the argument, according to the document. Although Diana appears to have told officials he left early the next morning, and he allegedly told them he left that same night, both individuals told authorities he made the trip to "pick up items." Palmiter, who is Madalina's stepfather, told authorities he did not see his stepdaughter the night of the argument, according to the document. Rather he claims he last saw her a week prior.
