Conor Hanlon’s frantic 911 call offers the clearest glimpse yet into the moments after he found his wife, Brooke Hanlon, unconscious and not breathing on the floor of their Chester, New Jersey, home.
On June 6, Hanlon told the dispatcher he needed CPR instructions after finding his wife bloodied inside the home, according to details reported by Fox News Digital and the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office. Investigators later said Brooke Hanlon, 35, was dead with “multiple sharp force injuries.”
What Hanlon said in the call
During the call, Hanlon can be heard saying, “I just found my wife (inaudible) CPR, I need CPR instructions.” He also said, “I need you here. I need you here immediately.”
When the operator asked whether she was bleeding and not conscious, Hanlon shouted, “No!”
He could then be heard hyperventilating and repeating, “Oh, oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god.”
What investigators have said so far
The Morris County Prosecutor’s Office said Brooke Hanlon was found dead in the couple’s home in Chester, and the case is being treated as a homicide investigation. Fox News Digital previously obtained a Computer-Aided Dispatch log showing the 911 call was initially reported as a “Cardiac or Respiratory Arrest.”
The dispatcher added a “suspicious death” note to the file at 4:42 p.m., about 13 minutes after the call was placed at 4:29 p.m.
Family, neighbors, and next steps
Fox News Digital spotted Conor Hanlon in Brighton, Massachusetts, while the couple’s baby was staying with family. A neighbor told the outlet that there had been a lot of activity at the home on June 6 and said they mostly communicated by text.
Neighbors also said Hanlon would message them when bears were around, and court records show he has no prior arrests or criminal history. The prosecutor’s office previously said Hanlon has obtained a lawyer and has been communicating with investigators, and he has not been accused of any crime or wrongdoing.
