THE BRONX, N.Y. (PIX11) — Vanessa Morris, 52, never recovered from a trauma she suffered more than 20 years ago when she witnessed a violent crime that ultimately triggered anxiety, depression and PTSD.

On March 20, she left her mother’s Bronx home near Van Cortlandt Park South and didn’t come back.

“Years ago, her cousin – who was like her best friend – was killed in my daughter’s presence,” Morris’ mother Linda Morris, a retired nurse, told PIX11 News.

The cousin’s husband was on the lam for 2 1/2 years before he was caught.

“I sent her away to Seattle while he was on the run,” Linda Morris said. “She was living with my brother. She testified at trial. The first one ended with a hung jury, so she had to testify at a second trial.”

THE BRONX, N.Y. (PIX11) — The mother of a missing Bronx artist with PTSD said police showed her surveillance footage of a person inside a Dallas, Texas 7/11 store that could be her daughter.

“She had a hoodie on and a hat on her head,” Linda Morris said of the person in the surveillance footage. “Just looking at her mannerisms, we’re saying maybe it could be her.”

Wow Texas! I wonder what lead they had to look there. Very odd that a possible sighting and then a weird phone call from a hospital/Dr office. Knowing the person who committed the murder is getting out soon makes me think she was trying to get far away. Hoping she is ok.
