- Details of Disappearance:
- Holly Codario and her baby daughter, Isabella, vanished from Ocean City, New Jersey, late on January 14, 2003. Their car, a black Volkswagen, was found abandoned on a bridge the next morning. The car was unlocked, the keys were in the ignition, and Holly’s purse was inside – everything seemed normal, with no signs of a struggle.
Holly had been worried about her ex-boyfriend, Isabella’s father, and had filed (then withdrawn) legal papers for custody and support. She was acting strangely before she disappeared, believing she was being watched and possibly poisoned – signs of postpartum depression.
Three months later, Holly’s body was discovered in the water near the bridge. She had drowned, and there were no signs of violence. Police think she jumped off the bridge with Isabella, but no one saw it happen, and Isabella’s body was never found. It’s a mystery what happened to the baby.
