Vanessa Morales, a baby girl from Ansonia, has been missing for six months and police continue to investigate her disappearance and ask anyone with information to come forward.
Ansonia police launched the investigation on Dec. 2, 2019, when they found Vanessa’s mother, 43-year-old Christine Holloway, dead in their Myrtle Avenue home after she failed to show up for work.
Her family reported that she had not heard from her.
The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner determined the cause of Holloway’s death to be blunt force trauma and the manner of death was ruled a homicide.
Jose Morales, Vanessa's father, was dating Holloway at the time and Ansonia police charged him with murder and tampering with evidence on Feb. 7. He pleaded not guilty.
Ansonia Police said they continue to investigate the disappearance of Vanessa and a Graco car seat, a polka-dot blanket, an Eddie Bauer backpack and a teething key ring are still items of interest in the case and have not been found.
