On November 29, 2019, 14-month-old Vanessa Morales disappeared from Ansonia, Connecticut, under circumstances that remain a mystery. Three days later, on December 2, 2019, a welfare check at their Myrtle Avenue home led to the grim discovery of her mother, Christine Holloway, brutally beaten to death.

In April 2025, Vanessa’s father, Joe Morales, was convicted of murder and evidence tampering in connection to Hollowayโ€™s death. The disappearance of Vanessa Morales raises community concerns as her father awaits sentencing.

A community grapples with the lingering mystery surrounding the disappearance of 14-month-old Vanessa Morales, who vanished from her home on November 29, 2019. Authorities launched a widespread search but found no trace of the toddler, whose mother was tragically discovered deceased just three days later.

The alarming case began nearly four years ago when Vanessa was reported missing, prompting the issuance of an Amber Alert. Initially classified as a Silver Alert due to the lack of immediate details, investigators uncovered shocking and tragic developments that have since captivated not only local communities but also national audiences.

Vanessa’s belongings, which included a teething keyring, a blanket, a diaper bag, and a car seat, are also unaccounted for, raising further concerns over her wellbeing. Despite exhaustive search efforts and community involvement in Ansonia and beyond, no concrete leads have emerged to confirm her whereabouts.

In April 2025, Vanessa’s father, Joe Morales, was convicted of murder and evidence tampering in connection with Hollowayโ€™s death. The court heard harrowing details about the events leading to both Vanessa’s motherโ€™s death and the girlโ€™s disappearance. Morales is currently awaiting sentencing, which is scheduled for July 8, 2025, and he faces a sentence of up to 65 years in prison.

Authorities believe that Vanessa may still be alive, possibly hidden with a family member or someone close to Morales. Although speculation has surrounded the possibility that Morales handed Vanessa over to relatives in Puerto Rico, investigators have stated that they lack concrete evidence to support these claims.

Community members have rallied around the Morales family, organizing vigils and search parties over the years. Local organizations have also utilized social media campaigns to keep Vanessaโ€™s image alive, not letting the urgency of her case fade from public consciousness.

As the court date for Joe Morales draws near, the questions surrounding Vanessaโ€™s fate remain unanswered.

Call the FBI at 1-800-225-5324 or Ansonia Police at (203) 735-1885 if you know anything. Hope endures that Vanessa Morales will one day be found, bringing an end to a heart-wrenching chapter in Ansoniaโ€™s history.
