Ansonia police responded to the home where Vanessa and her mother lived on Dec. 2, 2019, to check on 43-year-old Christine Holloway after she didn’t show up for work and found her body. Officials said she had been beaten to death.
Police later arrested Jose Morales, Holloway’s boyfriend and Vanessa’s father, and charged him with the murder of Holloway and tampering with evidence. He's pleaded not guilty.
