Mother sought in case of two missing Lakeville girls

Police want to arrest the mother of two Lakeville teens missing since April 2013, saying recent evidence shows she was involved in the girls’ disappearance.

Sandra Grazzini-Rucki was charged last week with three counts of felony deprivation of parental rights, Lakeville police Lt. Jason Polinski said Tuesday. He said police do not know where Grazzini-Rucki is and have not been able to speak with her since Gianna and Samantha Rucki disappeared. A Star Tribune story in April of this year provided new information that enabled police to build a case for an arrest warrant, Polinski said.

Grazzini-Rucki’s attorney, Michelle MacDonald, said Tuesday that her client doesn’t know where her daughters are and has nothing to do with their disappearance.
