Vanessa’s father, Jose Morales, was charged in February 2020 with Holloway’s murder, along with tampering with evidence. He pleaded not guilty and his case is pending in court. Police said Morales was the last person with baby Vanessa, whose image has been shared across the nation.
Morales is due back in court Jan. 21.
