911 Audio Emerges in Homicide of New Jersey Therapist

The released recording has intensified public attention on an active Chester Township probe that has not produced arrests or named suspects.

Overview

  • Brooke Hanlon, a 35-year-old psychotherapist, was found dead in her Chester, New Jersey, home on June 6 and the Morris County medical examiner ruled the cause of death multiple sharp-force injuries.
  • A 6-plus minute 911 call from her husband, James “Conor” Hanlon, was published by outlets in mid-July and captures him pleading for CPR instructions and reacting with visible distress.
  • Authorities say the investigation remains active with no arrests or identified suspects, and prosecutors confirm Conor Hanlon has been cooperating with investigators while represented by counsel.
  • The couple had a baby in July 2025 who is now staying with family, and friends and a former roommate have given interviews describing the pair’s time together in Boston and their reactions to the death.
  • Officials have released limited case details publicly, so the next developments to watch are any forensic findings or police updates that could identify a suspect or motive.
