Officers located one missing girl at a Lafayette Street residence, and detectives believe there may be additional victims, urging anyone with information to contact Spring Valley police immediately.
   

3. Star Witness Gunned Down in Haverstraw, and No One Has Been Arrested (newsbreak.com) — The unsolved 2025 killing of Haverstraw resident Muhssia King is casting a long shadow over the prosecution of the 2022 shooting death of 17-year-old Treynahel Cineus in Spring Valley. New reporting details how King’s role as a key witness, disputes over protecting his identity, and diverging plea deals for three Haverstraw defendants are fueling wider debates about witness safety in Rockland County and Albany.
