Police returned to the Chester, New Jersey home where Brooke Hanlon was found stabbed to death nearly five months ago, with at least 15 law-enforcement vehicles arriving on Wednesday and remaining until around 11 p.m. Investigators returned on Thursday with brown bags. Conor Hanlon, her husband, was seen speaking with police on Wednesday afternoon.

Hanlon's autopsy, released weeks before the search, ruled her death a homicide caused by 'sharp force injuries', confirming findings the Morris County Prosecutor's Office had announced in June. The prosecutor's office told Fox News it has no updates on the investigation. Hanlon, who leaves behind a 1-year-old daughter, was discovered by her husband, who called 911 and told the operator 'There's a laceration' on his wife's body whilst being guided through CPR instructions.

Conor Hanlon has denied any involvement in her death. No arrests have been made in the case. Officials have not disclosed whether a murder weapon was found at the scene. Neighbours reported that Conor Hanlon has frequently returned to his home and spent nights there in the months since her death, having previously divided his time between Chester and the Boston area.
