Still Missing CT - Vanessa Morales, 1, missing after mother found deceased, Ansonia, 28 Nov 2019 *arrest* #2

[Niner]

Any news on "what" might have happened at the 4/15 hearing?

TIA!

 

[Carmita V]

I m furious about his use of drugs could be "an excuse" because "mental illness" or "not remembering"...
He beat women not men, he cleaned house after the murder, he took baby to take it to whatever place. I m thinking he planned everything because nobody even his family won't take the risk to hide her for too long. Maybe he sold baby and that's why he killed mother and after murder he delivered poor baby. I don't want to think he killed her too.

 

[Carmita V]

I won't be surprised if at the end he gets sentenced more years in prison for having fire arms than for murder and baby dissapearance.

TIA! And take your time - no rush! hope all is well with staying healthy! All is good here!

Assistant State’s Attorney Melissa Holmes asked the judge for the transfer so all of the charges could be dealt with at the same time.

I remember there was a motion to transfer and consolidate the charges so I believe they will always appear together now in the Milford.

PS - lovely to see that our fave Norm Pattis is representing this ***. Lovely.

Oh God, not that arse again (Pattis).

Where is this little sweetpea? I would rather believe she was still alive, safe and sound, but I just don't see it- not after that brutal murder of his ex-girlfriend. Makes me sick to my stomach.

Funny how when his client doesn't have money, Norm doesn't have much to say. Maybe he gets paid by the word! What a waste of air!!! Moo

I know. It’s so crushing that it’s hard for me to check on the case. And the idea of her out there somewhere...ugh.

 

[Carmita V]

Criminals kidnapped, kills, etc. But They CAN'T be touched by authorities to force them speak about whereabout of their victims including CHILDREN.
I don't really understand human and their laws.

 

[Carmita V]

Somebody knows if it was any previous record of domestic violence at this house?

SIX MONTHS MISSING: Today marks six months since the search to find Vanessa Morales began. Police found her mother killed inside their Ansonia home and determined the infant had been taken. Police continue to believe Vanessa is alive considering items that were used in her daily care were missing from the home. Those include an Eddie Bauer backpack/diaper bag, a Graco car seat and a polka dot comforter—all shown in pictures below. Anyone with information is asked to call Ansonia Police at 203-735-1885 or the FBI at 1-800-226-5324. Vanessa’s aunt, Jodi Jacobellis, released the following statement:

“To the person that has my niece Vanessa please bring her back to us safely. Please bring her back to her family that loves her dearly and that misses her every minute of every day. 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. “
