一個(gè)父親，一場(chǎng)謀殺，一位失蹤的嬰兒
“He left her naked body in the tub... and the baby vanished.”

致命一夜，母親被擊打八次頭骨碎裂
60 Years for Killing the Mother of His Missing Child

2019年12月1日凌晨，康涅狄格州 Ansonia 的一戶民宅中，43歲的 Christine Holloway 遭到殘忍殺害。她被鈍器擊打頭部至少八次，頭骨粉碎、全身多處鈍器創(chuàng)傷，當(dāng)場(chǎng)死亡。

According to prosecutors, Jose Morales, her boyfriend and father of her child, attacked her with an unknown object, causing severe skull fractures and blunt force trauma that resulted in her death.

之后，他在案發(fā)現(xiàn)場(chǎng)停留了整整37小時(shí)，試圖清理血跡、銷毀證據(jù)，最后逃離現(xiàn)場(chǎng)，將赤裸的尸體留在了浴缸中。

?♀?他被捕，而孩子卻失蹤至今
He Was Arrested. The Baby Was Gone.

警方于兩個(gè)月后逮捕了Jose Morales，并在2025年7月將其正式判刑：謀殺罪60年、銷毀證據(jù)罪5年，合并執(zhí)行 65年刑期。

然而，這起案件最令人揪心的是：他們14個(gè)月大的女兒 Vanessa Morales，在母親死后就再也沒(méi)有出現(xiàn)過(guò)。

Vanessa was just 14 months old when her mother was murdered. She has been missing ever since.

盡管Jose尚未被正式控告與女兒失蹤有關(guān)，但警方明確表示：
“He is a suspect.”

Vanessa，現(xiàn)在應(yīng)該6歲了
Where Is Vanessa?

一張嬰兒照片，一段塵封的檔案，一個(gè)母親失去生命的夜晚，留下的疑問(wèn)卻仍然沒(méi)有答案：

Who took Vanessa? Is she still alive? Why would a father murder the mother — and then let his own child disappear?
