Isabella Pastrana was one year old when she was last seen on January 13, 2003, in Cape May County, New Jersey, in the company of her mother, Holly Lynn Codario. Isabella had brown hair and brown eyes, a birthmark on her right shoulder, and at the time was about two feet, six inches tall and weighed around 18 pounds. She was reportedly wearing long underwear when last seen.

On January 15 a black Volkswagen Jetta was found abandoned on the southbound shoulder of the Ocean City-Longport Bridge with the keys in the ignition, Holly Codario’s purse and driver’s license on the passenger seat, and Isabella’s baby carrier in the back. Holly had been showing signs of paranoia and distress and had sought medical help; she may have been suffering from postpartum depression. Holly’s body was recovered from the shore of Great Egg Harbor Bay on April 25, 2003, and the cause of death was ruled drowning; investigators found no evidence of foul play.

Isabella’s whereabouts remain unknown and there were no witnesses or a note to explain what happened. Can anyone with information about Isabella or the events of January 2003 come forward to help bring answers?
