Lost child claim unfounded
MAYVILLE - Rumors have been circulating through the area of an incident of a missing child, who disappeared after the Chautauqua Lake basketball game Tuesday night.
Chautauqua County Sheriff Joseph Gerace put a stop to the rumors, saying the claim was completely unfounded, in a phone interview Wednesday.
Gerace said a young girl reported a child she was watching had gone missing in the restrooms during the game. He said after a thorough investigation and reviewing the security tapes, it was found that the report was completely unfounded.
"It just didn't happen," Gerace said.
No charges were filed as a result of the incident.
