Maybe I should have used intelligent rather than educated. Note the suspect and rehab, since he violated his parole, currently landing him back in the slammer.

Someone can be book smart and not very emotionally smart. Someone can also be heavily manipulated. People can act a certain way around you for so long that you become convinced that that's the way they really are. If he was never violent around her or to her, she had no reason to be scared. I have no idea what crime(s) he commited in the past but he isn't a suspect, at least not yet.

YES. He is a suspect.

I just cannot fathom defending the suspect and think he was possibly or even remotely rehabilitated. Cripes. He was a felon arrested for possession of two stun guns in his house. Why did he have two stun guns? Oh, yeah. We all have these in our homes. Stats are (2018) 83% of state inmates recommit within 9 yrs. I still advise women to run.

Search for missing Ansonia toddler, mom’s killer enters 2nd week

It’s been two weeks since 1-year-old Vanessa Morales has been missing and police continue to follow leads in the case.
Morales’s 43-year-old mother, Christine Holloway, was found beaten to death in her Myrtle Avenue home on Monday, Dec. 2.
Police were called to do a welfare check on Holloway just before 1 p.m. when she didn’t turn up for work or call in sick.
Police were unable to make contact with Holloway at the home, but returned later that night for an additional welfare check. That time, the officers forced entry into the home and found her dead. A medical examiner later ruled her cause of death was blunt force trauma.
Police learned the woman’s 1-year-old daughter, Vanessa, should have been at the home but were unable to find her.

Please let today be the day they give an update. This case bugs me, big time. We could use a little holiday miracle around here, right? Between this and missing baby Margot...

Ansonia police are still investigating the homicide and do not have any suspects – 10 days after the Amber Alert for her daughter was issued.

There you go. I'm not out here saying that he isn't a suspect just for funsies, I'm actually confused. The information about him being a suspect was made public and then that article came out and said they had no suspects. So where do we stand? Would be great to have that sorted out.

Why are you being so passive-aggressive towards me and my posts? I am not defending anyone. I was talking in general. There are people in this world that get arrested, go to jail, get out and do rehabilitate and turn their lives around. Thanks for the stats.

Today marks 2 weeks since Ansonia PD found Christine Holloway beaten to death inside her home & her daughter, 1-year-old Vanessa Morales, gone. They’ve released little info but say, “we are building a strong case to bring the investigation to a successful conclusion.” @News12CT

There’s no more police presence outside the Holloway/Morales home on Myrtle Avenue in Ansonia but someone has placed a couple candles with an angel and stuffed animals out front. @News12CT

Many neighbors in Ansonia have placed red lights on their porches to show their support in finding 1-year-old Vanessa Morales. Police began searching for her Dec. 2nd & later issued an Amber Alert. Vanessa was last seen Nov. 29. Her mother was found dead 3 days later. @News12CT

Two weeks and no Vanessa. But I hang on to this.

That sounds to me that they may have an idea where Vanessa is.

I hope so.

Morales' family has shared a new video of the giggling 1-year-old from Nov. 20, nine days before she was last seen.

There are a number of law enforcement agencies involved in this case. APD is primary, it's their jurisdiction. They're not naming a suspect, and seemed to be pretty testy about the release of dad as a named suspect. Press says they have two LE sources, but no one said they were with APD.

I suspect (nothing but an educated guess) that this info was released by another agency's personnel, and that APD maybe didn't want it released to keep JM 'happy', possibly to keep him talking, especially if they haven't been given the location of V's body (or of her whereabouts if she's alive but I sadly don't think so).

As far as I know he hasn't made bond on the other charges.
