Morales' ex girlfriend told Norwalk Police she had woken up at 4:30a.m. and found a downstairs room in her home in disarray. Initially thinking the neighborhood cat had been let in the residence she alter realized the situation was worse when she looked for her cigarettes and found them missing from the counter. Later, when the complainant went to get money from her wallet to give her child, she discovered that cash was missing.
