Cops return to slain NJ mom Brook Hanlon’s home weeks after autopsy revealed stabbing details
Police returned to Brooke Hanlon’s NJ home months after her fatal stabbing.
Police returned Wednesday and Thursday to the home where New Jersey mother Brooke Hanlon was found stabbed to death nearly five months ago.
Investigators were seen at the property on Pottersville Road in Chester, New Jersey, on Thursday with brown bags.
That followed a swarm of activity on Wednesday, when neighbors told Fox News Digital that at least 15 law-enforcement vehicles were on scene and remained at the residence until around 11 p.m. Hanlon’s husband, Conor Hanlon, was seen speaking with police on Wednesday afternoon, her neighbors said.
Conor Hanlon has denied any involvement in her death. No arrests have been made in the case.
The Morris County Prosecutor’s Office in New Jersey told Fox News Digital it has no updates regarding the investigation into Hanlon’s death. She leaves behind a 1-year-old daughter.
Investigators’ return comes weeks after officials released Hanlon’s autopsy, which ruled her death a homicide caused by “sharp force injuries.” The autopsy confirms what Morris County Prosecutor’s Office released in June.

According to a 911 call obtained by Fox News Digital, Hanlon’s husband was the first to discover her unresponsive. During the call, he told the operator, “There’s a laceration” on his wife’s body while the operator was walking him through how to perform CPR on her.
“I just found my wife (inaudible) CPR, I need CPR instructions,” Conor Hanlon can be heard saying on the 911 call.
“I need you here. I need you here immediately,” he said.


Months after the mother was found dead, neighbors told Fox News Digital that Conor Hanlon has frequently returned to his home and spends nights there. Before that, he had been dividing his time between Chester and the Boston area, where his family is originally from.
Officials have not disclosed whether a murder weapon was found at the scene.
In a previous comment to Fox News Digital, Brooke Hanlon’s family said, “We have full and unwavering confidence in the investigative efforts of law enforcement.”
