Carrie Ann Monroe was 26 and a mother of two when she was last seen on January 20, 2010. On that afternoon, at about 3:30 p.m., she was observed leaving the Comfort Motel on the Berlin Turnpike in Berlin, Connecticut, reportedly headed for an apartment on Hartford’s south side. That was the last confirmed sighting. She left personal belongings at the Hartford apartment and did not have access to a vehicle when she disappeared.

Friends reported her missing roughly nine days after she was last seen; her father filed a police report on January 30, 2010. Her boyfriend, who had been caring for their child, did not report her missing and later said he thought she had left voluntarily. He was taken into custody shortly after her disappearance on matters unrelated to this case. Family and friends say she had occasionally been out of touch before but never for this long and would not have abandoned her children.

At the time she vanished she was described as Caucasian, 5 feet 1 inch to 5 feet 3 inches, 110 to 130 pounds, with brown hair, blue eyes and pierced ears. She was last seen in a black waist-length jacket, blue jeans and black sneakers with a red design. The investigation remains active with no clear leads.

If anyone knew Carrie Ann’s movements in January 2010 or has information about the Hartford apartment she was visiting, please come forward.
