她的遗体被丢进浴缸，女儿却至今下落不明

一个父亲，一场谋杀，一位失踪的婴儿
“He left her naked body in the tub... and the baby vanished.”

致命一夜，母亲被击打八次头骨碎裂
60 Years for Killing the Mother of His Missing Child

2019年12月1日凌晨，康涅狄格州 Ansonia 的一户民宅中，43岁的 Christine Holloway 遭到残忍杀害。她被钝器击打头部至少八次，头骨粉碎、全身多处钝器创伤，当场死亡。

According to prosecutors, Jose Morales, her boyfriend and father of her child, attacked her with an unknown object, causing severe skull fractures and blunt force trauma that resulted in her death.

之后，他在案发现场停留了整整37小时，试图清理血迹、销毁证据，最后逃离现场，将赤裸的尸体留在了浴缸中。

‍♀️他被捕，而孩子却失踪至今
He Was Arrested. The Baby Was Gone.

警方于两个月后逮捕了Jose Morales，并在2025年7月将其正式判刑：谋杀罪60年、销毁证据罪5年，合并执行 65年刑期。

然而，这起案件最令人揪心的是：他们14个月大的女儿 Vanessa Morales，在母亲死后就再也没有出现过。

Vanessa was just 14 months old when her mother was murdered. She has been missing ever since.

尽管Jose尚未被正式控告与女儿失踪有关，但警方明确表示：
“He is a suspect.”

Vanessa，现在应该6岁了
Where Is Vanessa?

一张婴儿照片，一段尘封的档案，一个母亲失去生命的夜晚，留下的疑问却仍然没有答案：

Who took Vanessa? Is she still alive? Why would a father murder the mother — and then let his own child disappear?
