Summary

In 2019, forty-three-year-old Christine Holloway was living in an apartment in Ansonia, about ten miles west of New Haven, Connecticut. She was dating a man named Jose Morales. The couple had one child together, a fourteen-month-old daughter named Vanessa, who lived with Christine.

Join Mike and Morf as they discuss Christine Holloway and Vanessa Morales. On December 2nd, 2019, Christine didn't show up to her job and co-workers and her family asked for a welfare check. The police found a gruesome scene inside her apartment, and Christine was found dead in her bathtub. But there was no sign of Vanessa, and Jose Morales became the prime suspect in Christine's death.
