“In the beginning, she just knew that Mommy was missing,” Julie Thomas told Dateline about her 4-year-old granddaughter Cora Thomas. “But now, three months later, she has overheard more. As careful as you are, she’s going to hear.”
It’s a tragic series of events Cora has been hearing since her mother Danniella Vian, 25, vanished on July 17, 2018, according to a
statement by the Mobile Police Department. That morning, Julie drove Danniella to a nearby car dealership in Mobile, Alabama. Danniella had been saving money from her job at P.F. Chang’s and had finally saved enough to buy her own car.
