Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 21 Oct, 17:58 · Archive

Brooke Hanlon, 35, was found dead in her Chester home with sharp force injuries; no arrests have been made.

Brooke Hanlon, 35, was found dead inside her home on Pottersville Road in Chester, New Jersey, on 6 June. She leaves behind a one-year-old daughter. The autopsy was conducted by Morris County Medical Examiner Dr. Di Wang the following day and confirmed sharp force injuries as her cause of death. The Morris County Sheriff's Office, Prosecutor's Office and local Chester police attended the examination, though the report released was heavily redacted.

Her husband, Conor, was the first person to find her unresponsive and called 911. In the emergency call, he reported a laceration on her body. He has denied any involvement in her death. Neighbours have reported that Hanlon has frequently returned to the home and spent nights there since the killing, previously splitting time between Chester and the Boston area where his family is from.

The Morris County Prosecutor's Office has not announced any arrests or identified any persons of interest. Jennifer Payne, Hanlon's graduate school friend and former roommate, said the lack of investigative updates had been 'confusing, heartbreaking and incredibly frustrating'.
