Conor Hanlon spotted doing yard work at NJ home after wife’s death

Neighbors have spotted the husband of slain New Jersey woman Brooke Hanlon, 35, in Chester, making weekly visits to the family’s home.

Conor Hanlon, 36, has been making weekly stops at his Chester, New Jersey home — usually staying for Thursday into Friday stints, neighbors say. Many have seen his white Volvo SUV parked in his driveway.

His wife, Brooke, was found dead inside the home on June 6, with the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office investigating it as a homicide case. So far, no suspect or person of interest has been named.

Conor Hanlon has not been charged with any crime or accused of wrongdoing. Fox News Digital reached out to him for comment.

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

Hanlon has been moving in and out of the home, with neighbors who have spotted the garage door open on several occasions.

“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.”

He spoke with the reporter outside his front door.
