Police Chief Andrew Cota III said last week that a warrant charging Morales with Holloway’s slaying was in the works, but needed to be reviewed by the state attorney’s office in Milford before it could move forward. 2/5/20: Morales has waived his right to appear in court. Case continued until Feb. 26.

Please put yourself in our shoes, we lost my sister-in-law/ Vanessa’s mother in the most tragic way. We have to live with the fact we will never see my sister-in-law, never hug her, never laugh with her, never talk to her, never have a Holiday dinner or birthday celebrations with my sister-in-law, but we still can hold, hug, kiss, laugh, celebrate Holidays and birthdays with the last piece of my sister-in-law and that’s with my niece Vanessa. We will be able to tell Vanessa about how great her mother was, how her mother had a heart of gold, how her mother would do anything for anyone, how her mother prayed every day to become a mother to Vanessa. I want to be able to tell my niece Vanessa how I would feel her move around when she was in her mommies’ belly. Please bring Vanessa back to her family that loves and misses her. Please bring Vanessa back to the only family she knows. The $10,000 reward is still available, you can take the money no questions asked, no charges will be brought against you. Please bring Vanessa back to us safely. “

Attorney for Jose Morales: 220,000 pieces of evidence in Ansonia murder case against father of missing girl
Attorney Ed Gavin told News 12 the case is still headed to trial, but there's no date yet because Judge Kevin Russo just took over the case and has to get caught up.
connecticut.news12.com
9/11/23
The attorney for Jose Morales, the father of Vanessa Morales who is accused of killing the missing girl's mother, said Monday he has reviewed all the discovery in the murder case against Morales, which is extensive.
"We just had the last 15 discs turned over to us that we have gone through. There's about 220,000 pieces of evidence in this case, so we've had the opportunity to go through those," said attorney Ed Gavin during a brief hearing Monday.
Gavin told News 12 the case is still headed to trial, but there's no date yet because Judge Kevin Russo just took over the case and has to get caught up. Morales wore a cross in his first appearance before Russo Monday.
[..]
"I think it would be beneficial to everyone if we have the opportunity to meet with your honor on an afternoon and just bring you up to speed and get the court's thoughts in regard to scheduling the trial," Gavin said at the hearing, which Russo agreed to.
Morales is charged with the murder of Christine Holloway, whom police found beaten to death inside her home in Ansonia on Dec. 2, 2019. Her 1-year-old daughter Vanessa was nowhere to be found. Jose Morales was named the prime suspect in Vanessa Morales' disappearance but hasn't been charged. He told police he had nothing to do with what happened to his daughter or her mother, according to his arrest warrant.
"The defense has turned over a report to the state for its examination. Attorney Gavin and I have discussed the ramifications of that," Supervisory Assistant State's Attorney Howard Stein explained to Russo.
Gavin declined to say what the report is on but previously said his client was being examined.
Morales has pleaded not guilty to charges of murder and evidence tampering. His warrant said police discovered Jose Morales' hair in Holloway's hand and her blood on his shoes. Jose Morales also asked a friend to give him an alibi for the day Holloway died, but witnesses put him at Holloway's house right before she was killed, the warrant said.
