48 hours and counting with no press conference update.... they seemed to have given up on that relatively quickly. It is a shame as it probably raised a lot of awareness too.

True, but it's a total waste of resources for both LE and reporters if there's nothing new to report (which we were all under the impression there WAS today).

I wish that her family would call her by her name- her name is Vanessa!

Good to see them all out trying to find her, though.

Does the father look mean or what in that photo?

bbm
Downright evil, I'd say.

The fact that we still don't have an update and there is a prayer vigil tonight makes me wonder if any updates aren't positive ones...

Trying to find an article that hasn’t been updated but the prayer vigil has been scheduled since at least Thursday.

 

[Peppery]

A prayer vigil for Venessa Morales and her mother will be held at 6 p.m. Saturday at Veterans Park in Ansonia, next to City Hall.

Ansonia police plan to have a press conference late Thursday afternoon for possible updates in the case.

Post #194 from Thursday at 1:32pm, which I hope means it’s not connected to bad news that hasn’t been released yet.

From Valley Independent Sentinel’s FB page an hour ago:

“”Ansonia PD on Saturday: no new updates.

“We continue to investigate leads and do follow ups and would like to thank the community for all their support in our efforts to bring baby Vanessa home to her family.””

Which outlet told us there would be new information today? I need to go boycott them.

Darn, they're already the last news source I turn to around here. I guess with good reason.

No, it is a type of video in a doorbell.

Is the video only activated if the door bell is rung? Thnx

I was thinking same. Are they announcing at prayer vigil so people will have support?

“We are working on the premise that she is safe somewhere,” he told reporters, adding to an earlier comment that authorities think the child is with someone.

The woman died of blunt force trauma, police said, but the New Haven County and state medical examiners’ offices have not released additional information.

Ansonia Mayor David Cassetti has directed police to make finding the child their top priority, he told CNN on Tuesday.

“I received a call from the chief of police at 1 o’clock this morning stating there was a domestic homicide and a 1-year-old baby missing,” Cassetti said. “I said, ‘You are to focus all your attention — get state, federal, everyone involved — to find this child as soon as possible.'”

I don’t know about all models. Mine is active all the time.

 

[Mistree]

Maybe LE is waiting to see who does and doesn’t show up at the vigil.

Okay...thanks. so if you are sweeping the porch or working in the yard, you are on video? That's great..

Mine is motion activated and I pay a fee to have videos saved (I think for 30 days). I can choose to view it live but it’s not recorded and saved.

What does the bolded by me sentence above mean. I don't understand it.

I'm guessing police came to that person's house, likely canvassing for footage. They saw LE on their footage, realized what it was about, turned their footage in, and they're hoping police find something useful.

What confused me was they say "I actually called in the number". I was hoping she was the one that tipped them off and she saw someone putting something in the bin.
