Carrie Ann Monroe, a 26-year-old mother of two young sons, was living at the Comfort Motel on the Berlin Turnpike in Berlin, Connecticut, with her boyfriend and their son in January of 2010. Originally from Waterbury, she was also known to frequent the cities of Hartford and New Haven. On the afternoon of January 20, 2010, at approximately 3:30 p.m., Carrie Ann was seen leaving the motel. It was reported that she was traveling to an apartment located on the south side of Hartford. This was the last confirmed sighting of her. She left behind some personal belongings at the Hartford apartment, and has not been seen or heard from since. At the time of her disappearance, she did not have access to a vehicle.
In the days following her disappearance, concern grew among her loved ones. Her boyfriend, who was caring for their child, did not report her missing, later stating that he believed she had left of her own accord. It was ultimately friends who officially reported her missing, about nine days after she was last seen. Her father also filed a police report on January 30, 2010, after realizing something was wrong. Shortly after she vanished, her boyfriend was taken into custody on charges that were unrelated to her case. Family and friends have emphasized that while Carrie Ann had occasionally dropped out of sight for a few days in the past, she had never been out of contact for such an extended period and would never have abandoned her children.
The investigation into Carrie Ann Monroe's disappearance has continued for years, but her case remains unsolved. At the time she went missing, she was described as a Caucasian female, standing between 5'1' and 5'3' tall, and weighing between 110 and 130 pounds. She has brown hair and blue eyes, and her ears are pierced. The clothing she was last seen wearing consisted of a black waist-length jacket, blue jeans, and black sneakers that had a red design. The circumstances surrounding her vanishing are troubling to her family and investigators. The case is an active missing person investigation, characterized by a lack of clear leads and the enduring pain of a family left without answers. The overview of the case is one of a young mother who seemingly vanished after leaving her residence for a short trip, leaving her life, and most importantly her children, behind without a trace.
