Jury selection for Jose Morales’ murder trial in the death of his daughter’s mother, Christine Holloway, has been set for 2/24 at Milford Superior Court with the trial beginning 3/18. Holloway was killed in her Ansonia home five years ago.

At the time police found Holloway dead, her infant daughter with Morales was no where to be found. The continued search for Vanessa Morales has come up empty. Vanessa’s father is considered a suspect in her disappearance but has not been charged.

This doesn't appear to be a case that I've followed.
For those that have followed this case can you help me with a few questions?
How far away (same city, state, etc) was Morales arrested?
Was any of Vanessa's DNA found at the murder scene?
Does any of Morales' friends or family members regularly attend his hearings or visit with him?

“We live with the nightmare every day,” Christine Holloway’s sister-in-law and Vanessa’s Aunt Jodi Jacobellis said. “It’s heartbreaking because we’ve missed so many milestones with Vanessa.”
