Maybe I don't understand too many legal procedures....But I see judge accepted these lawyers excuses?

That is what appears to have happened, yes.

If anyone follows(ed) the Jennifer Farber Dulos case, you will see that those attorneys are filled to the brim with excuses for everything. They make my blood boil.

I am so sorry that your family is going through this! My prayers are with your family. The last I heard, his law firm was the Norm Pattis & Kevin Smith firm. Are they still representing him that you know of? That was very unprofessional of them, they had plenty of time to look over evidence!

Yes they are still representing him and yes it is very unprofessional of them. They have had months to prepare and still they are blaming COVID

Thank you for your reply! They make my blood boil & I get angry every time I see their faces or hear their voices. I am so sorry that you are going through this, my prayers & thoughts are with you & your family. I hope you get answers to the whereabouts of your niece soon.

I really don't know about the judge, but from what my husband told me that the States attorney wasn't too happy with JM's legal team that day. I wasn't present for the court date due to the fact I just started a new job that week. Hopefully on January 20th court date I will be able to attend.

The leads have led investigators in circles. Their search for Morales continues just one day away from when she disappeared. Her father, Jose Morales, 43, of New Haven, is considered the prime suspect in her disappearance...

"We can determine that he was the last person we believe was with Vanessa," said Lynch.


At some point we’re going to speak to him again," said Lynch "We’re going let the criminal case play out for that homicide of Christine and then we will get back to trying to get in touch with him."

Ansonia police are working with the FBI and following tips from all over the country to find the brown-haired, brown-eyed girl who they believe to be alive. They are still on the lookout for her car seat, polka-dotted blanket, and grey backpack. The FBI is working on creating an updated image of Vanessa to distribute to the public.

ONE YEAR MISSING: Today marks one year since Ansonia police discovered Christine Holloway murdered in her home and her then-1-year-old daughter Vanessa Morales gone. In honor of the somber date, their pictures and flowers have been placed at the pole next to their home.
Jose Morales, Holloway’s boyfriend and Vanessa’s father, has been charged with Holloway’s murder. Police say he was the last person to see Vanessa. In his arrest warrant, Morales admitted to being on PCP the day of the alleged crime and said he didn’t remember much.
Morales has not been charged w/ Vanessa’s disappearance. An Amber Alert was issued & billboards w/ Vanessa’s picture went up around the state. Though the number of tips has slowed, police say they are still actively looking for Vanessa. She turned 2 about a month ago

At the time of Vanessa’s disappearance, police noticed her car seat, diaper bag, comforter, and toy ring were all missing. They have never been found. Today police reiterated that locating those items may be key in figuring out what happened to Vanessa.

As police continue to investigate, they're still looking for child care items taken from Vanessa Morales' home during the crime - a Greyco carseat, Eddie Bauer diaper bag, a polka dot blanket and a teething ring.

"There's one thought process that if we can find those, they'll give us an idea of what happened," says Lynch.
There is still a $10,000 reward from the FBI for information leading to Vanessa's safe return.
Tips can be reported anonymously to Ansonia Police at 203-725-1885.

"It’s all very surreal still. Every day we just hope Vanessa comes home," said Holloway's aunt Anna Rodonski.

Morales was last seen on December 2, 2019. Ansonia police had arrived at the home on Myrtle Avenue to do a welfare check when they found her missing and Holloway murdered.

"We would FaceTime every night during dinner or bath time. That was her day. They spent every minute of every day together," said Rodonski.

It was Holloway's dream to have a child of her own. The Southern Connecticut State University graduate and daycare associate loved children and her own bundle of joy with all her heart. Her family is heartbroken by the years’ worth of memories lost.

"That’s the perfect age for a child to grow and develop and talk and walk," said Rodonski. "She just started talking and walking so it’s a whole year missed."

Morales' family is still at a loss for where she could be. Morales has brown hair and brown eyes. Her family suspects that during this pandemic her face might be covered by a mask in public, but they say one trait will give her away.

"Her eyes are super sweet and super precious," said Rodonski. "Whoever has her that she’s safe and she has one that she’s eating some good food and then she is laughing. I just hope that they have the honesty and the awakening to just return her home to us because we miss her."

"Before she went missing she was just starting to walk. So at least we got to see her first steps but we don't get to see her running around. Whoever has her gets to see that we don't," said Jodi Jacobellis, Holloway's sister-in-law and Vanessa's aunt.

"To the person who may have her bring her home. We don't care how she got there we don't, we just want her home."

Police said though leads have slowed down this is still an active investigation.

“We continue to receive tips. Unfortunately, none of the tips have lead us to find out what happened to Vanessa. We are one year out and we’re in the same place we were one year ago,” said Lt. Patrick Lynch of the Ansonia police department.
