A frantic 911 call captured the moments after Conor Hanlon found his wife, Brooke Hanlon, unconscious and not breathing inside their Chester, New Jersey, home in early June.
Conor Hanlon called emergency dispatchers on June 6 after discovering 35-year-old Brooke Hanlon bloodied on the floor of the couple’s residence. He pleaded for help with CPR as authorities were sent to the scene. Investigators later said Brooke Hanlon was found dead with “multiple sharp force injuries,” according to the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office.
“I just found my wife (inaudible) CPR, I need CPR instructions,” Hanlon can be heard telling the 911 operator.
INC News later spotted Conor Hanlon in Brighton, Massachusetts, where the couple’s baby is staying with relatives.

“I need you here. I need you here immediately,” he said during the call.
When the dispatcher asked whether Brooke was bleeding and unconscious, Conor Hanlon appeared to cry out in distress, shouting, “No!”

The 911 call was placed at 4:29 p.m., and at 4:42 p.m., a dispatcher entered a “suspicious death” note on the file.
One of the Hanlons’ neighbors told INC News, “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.”
Court records show Conor Hanlon has no prior arrests or criminal history. He hasn’t been accused of any crime nor wrongdoing.
