Five months after a New Jersey therapist and new mom was found stabbed to death in her home, investigators are back at the house, and they left carrying bags of evidence.
Brooke Hanlon, 35, was found dead at her Chester home on Pottersville Road on June 6. Her husband, James “Conor” Hanlon, called 911 that afternoon. The call was first logged as a cardiac or respiratory arrest. While a dispatcher walked him through CPR, he reported that his wife had a laceration. Within minutes, the dispatch log noted a “suspicious death.”
The autopsy ruled her death a homicide caused by sharp force injuries. Officials haven’t said whether a weapon was recovered, offered a motive, or said whether the public is at risk. Hanlon, a psychotherapist and family therapist, left behind a 1-year-old daughter.
On Nov. 4, neighbors counted at least 15 law enforcement vehicles at the property until about 11 p.m. Investigators returned the next day and were seen leaving with brown evidence bags, according to Fox News. The Morris County Prosecutor’s Office said it had “no update” and wouldn’t confirm whether a search warrant was executed.
Conor Hanlon has denied any involvement. Asked whether he was a suspect, he said, “Of course not.” He has hired a lawyer and has been communicating with investigators. He has not been accused of any crime.
No arrests have been made, and no suspect has been named. Investigators are asking anyone with information about Hanlon’s death, or suspicious activity near Pottersville Road, to contact the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office.
