🚨 WHERE IS VANESSA MORALES? 💜

More than six years have passed since little Vanessa Morales disappeared from Ansonia, Connecticut.

Vanessa was just 15 months old when she was last seen on November 29, 2019. Two days later, police conducting a welfare check at her mother Christine Holloway’s home discovered Christine had been beaten to death.

Vanessa was gone.

💔 She has never been found.

Vanessa was born on September 7, 2018. At the time of her disappearance, she was approximately:
👧 1 year old
📏 2 feet tall
⚖️ 17 pounds
🤎 Brown hair
🤎 Brown eyes

Authorities have released age-progressed images showing what Vanessa may look like as she has grown older.

Her disappearance remains an active investigation.

In 2025, Vanessa’s father, Jose Morales, was convicted of murdering Christine Holloway and tampering with physical evidence. He was sentenced to 65 years in prison. However, he was never charged in connection with Vanessa’s disappearance.

🔎 The search for Vanessa has stretched across the country. Authorities have investigated reported sightings, but none have led to finding her.

Vanessa’s family continues to hope that she is alive and that someone, somewhere, knows what happened to her.

🕯️ Please don’t let Vanessa’s face be forgotten.
