911 call released in NJ therapist’s killing
WARNING, GRAPHIC CONTENT: Authorities have made public the intense 911 call from Conor Hanlon, who reported the tragic discovery of his wife, therapist Brooke Hanlon, stabbed to death in their New Jersey residence. The released audio highlights his agitated anguish.
Several months after the tragic incident, Conor Hanlon, the husband of the late Brooke Hanlon, aged 35, has been seen in Chester, New Jersey by neighbors as he periodically visits the house where the grim discovery was made.
Neighbors report that Conor, 36, typically arrives in Chester for brief visits from Thursday to Friday each week. His familiar white Volvo SUV has been frequently spotted in the driveway.
The sorrowful death of Brooke on June 6 remains under thorough investigation by the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office, which is treating the case as a homicide. As of now, no suspects or persons of interest have been identified.

During his visits, neighbors have witnessed Hanlon doing yard work outside the home on Pottersville Road. Neighbors confirmed to News Media that while his car has been spotted during the day parked outside the home, the white SUV is never parked in the driveway overnight.

On Friday, Hanlon spoke publicly about his wife’s death for the first time, denying any involvement while declining further comment due to the ongoing investigation.
“My heart is totally shattered,” he told the Daily Mail. A reporter asked him if he had any involvement in his wife’s death, to which he said, “Of course not.” He went on to say, “It’s a tragedy.”

Neighbors tell News Media they remain on edge as law enforcement has yet to release any update in the case.
One of them said about three weeks before the young mother was discovered dead inside her home in early June, local police showed up knocking on doors to “check in” with residents on Pottersville Road after they reportedly told them a “911 call was made in the area.”

In July, one gun-owning neighbor told News Media he’s ready to defend his family should the time come. He said he has been looking over his shoulder more frequently, knowing a possible killer is still at large.
