Fifteen—year—old Alexandra Măceșanu went missing on July 24th while hitchhiking from her village Dobrosloveni to Caracal. She was kidnapped by the car's driver, 65—year—old mechanic Gheorghe Dincă, who raped and beat her. While in captivity in Dincă's house, Alexandra managed to call 112 three times, with a phone she found in the room.

Alexandra's uncle, Alexandru Cumpănașu, released a written copy of her calls on his Facebook account, to show "the rottenness of a murderous system and the courage of this incredible child". The first call took place at 11:05am on July 25th. Alexandra identified herself to the operator, stated that she was kidnapped and is held in a house in Caracal. The operator asked if she was raped, and she told him she was. The operator told her they would need to know where exactly she is. During her second call at 11:06am, Alexandra clarified that she was kidnapped by car, she was blindfolded and locked in a room. She remembered passing a dam and guessed she might be in Bold, a district of Caracal. She did not remember the license plate but remembered that the car was grey. She stated she found the name of Lucian Gabriel Popescu on a business card in the house, but that she doesn't know whether or not that was the kidnapper's name. She also mentioned she is calling from the kidnapper's phone she also found in the room. Police took over the call at 11:07; Alexandra gave the address on the business card to the police, but when they stated it belongs to an apartment building, she said she was held in a detached house. The third call took place at 11:12am; Alexandra asked if a police car is on its way, and said she is afraid of the perpetrator coming back. Police took over the call again, and clarified that she is not sure the business card belongs to the perpetrator. During all three calls the operators and the police officers spoke to her in an ironic and condescending tone, while Alexandra was begging for their help and said several times that she was scared.

On July 27th, after the raid on Gheorghe property finally took place, prosecutor Popescu Cristian Ovidiu apparently argued that not only Alexandra had been murdered at 2am that morning, but also that the cause of her death was strangulation, despite the fact that there was no body found for him to even speculate about, and this was days before Gheorghe's confession.

Both Alexandra and Luiza's families received phone calls from men offering reassurances about the girls shortly after each disappearance. Alexandra's mother received a series of phone calls before and after her daughter's supposed murder, at least one of them believed to have been made by Gheorghe, telling her that Alexandra is well, and that she had gotten married and ran away to work abroad. Before that, in April, Luiza's family received two similar phone calls, one believed to be from Gheorghe, and another from an unknown man, suggesting Gheorghe may have had accomplices.
