After 35-year-old Brooke Hanlon was found stabbed inside her home in Chester, New Jersey, her husband has not been seen nor heard from in weeks.
In fact, one of the few people to speak publicly about the case is her sister, Paige Haggerty.
While she first spoke at length exclusively with Fox News Digital about the loss of her sister, Haggerty remained tight-lipped about her brother-in-law.

Records indicate 36-year-old James “Conor” Hanlon, who goes by Conor, grew up in the Brighton neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts.
Speaking about the possibility of Hanlon being a suspect, Haggerty said, “It’s a homicide, and there are a lot of details that my family and I don’t know, and a lot that we can’t comment on publicly. As much as I’d like to scream from the rooftops about how I feel, I have to protect the integrity of the case.”

Investigators responded to the couple’s home on June 6 after receiving a 911 call. The Morris County prosecutor’s office said, “An examination by the Morris County Medical Examiner’s Office determined the cause of Brooke’s death to be multiple sharp force injuries and the manner of death as homicide.”

A neighbor of the Hanlons spoke with Fox News Digital and said, “There was a lot of activity out there on the 6th. I’d talked to Conor a few times before. We mostly texted. We’ve lived here about a year, and he’d text me whenever bears were around.”

He said the pair were texting back and forth about bears in the area days before Brooke’s killing.
“We were actually doing that just the other day — I think around [June] 2nd — when he reached out because a bear had gotten into his trash. That was the last I heard from him.”

The neighbor said he texted Conor concerned about all the police activity and said, “I saw a lot of cops out there that Saturday. I texted him, saying, ‘Hey man, I saw all the police at your house. If you guys need anything, let me know.’ He never responded after that.”
The prosecutor’s office has yet to reveal who called 911 on that day in June, who was inside the home at the time of the discovery, and whether Conor and the couple’s baby were present at the time of the murder.
