Southold's police chief said Costello and her daughter were seen March 30 when a security camera recorded the mother and daughter leaving a Times Square parking garage.

Relatives said Iona planned to take her daughter to a show, but on April 4, Emily didn't show up to school following spring break.

A day later, family members filed a missing persons report.

The Costello family is well known in Greenport, where they own a marine contracting business. They also own a farm with horses and other animals.

The case has been tied up in the courts for two years, Kozar reported.
