Ansonia Police thank public for continued help in missing child case

Vanessa Morales

Sharing from the Ansonia Police Facebook page:

"Three months ago today the Ansonia Police Department began our investigation into the disappearance of one year old Vanessa Morales. We continue to follow leads and information provided by the public. 
"The department would like to thank everyone for their assistance and ask that they continue to keep Vanessa's picture and story in the public eye and on social media. The items posted in December by the press and on social media have still not been located, pictures are attached to this post. 
"As we have stated in the past, if the person who has Vanessa is afraid of being arrested, the circumstances of how she came to be in their custody are irrelevant. Our only goal is to locate Vanessa safe and unharmed so she can be reunited with her family. Thank for your continued assistance and support. 
"Anyone with information is asked to contact the Ansonia Police at 203-735-1885 or through TIP411 at https://www.tip411.com/tips/new?alert_group_id=21553

ANSONIA - The Ansonia Nature and Recreation Center, 10 Deerfield Road, has scheduled several fun and educational activities in March. 

MAPLE SUGARING FOR FAMILIES – March 7, 11 a.m.
A very long time ago, the native people of the northeastern part of our country shared their sweet tree know-how with the newcomers from Europe.

FEE: $6 per person. Please call to register. Family program; children must be accompanied by an adult.

PIGEONS THROUGH THE AGES – March 14, 2 p.m.
Did you know pigeons were first domesticated over 5,000 years ago? Take a deep dive into dove history with Ranger Evelyn. Learn what makes these birds so unique, the role they’ve played in wartime, and even meet Chuckles, our resident ring-necked dove. 
Play the part of a carrier pigeon and learn to navigate the way birds do with an orienteering game. 
For ages 10 and up. FREE. Please register.

SPRING TERM JUNIOR RANGERS – Registration begins March 18.
Calling all kids 11 to 14 years old who love nature! Has your child wanted to work with animals, garden, help maintain our trails, and help with special events?

HIKE: Signs of Spring – March 22, 1 p.m.

TRACKING AND AWARENESS – March 28, 1 p.m.
Brush up on your tracking and awareness skills with Alison Rubelmann, Director of the Ansonia Nature Center.
