A 35-year-old New Jersey therapist and new mother was found fatally stabbed in her home nearly a month ago, and investigators say they still don't know who killed her. Authorities discovered Brooke Hanlon dead in her Chester residence on June 6, reports Fox News; People notes that they were responding to a report of a woman in cardiac arrest. The Morris County Medical Examiner ruled that she died from multiple sharp-force injuries and classified the case as a homicide. Prosecutors initially withheld her identity to preserve the integrity of the investigation, notes NJ.com, and later released it on Monday.

Hanlon, a psychotherapist and marriage counselor, welcomed her first child last year with her husband. The Morris County Prosecutor's Office has not announced any suspects or motive. Crime Stoppers is offering a $1,000 reward for tips that lead to an arrest. The investigation remains active, and officials are asking anyone with information to come forward.
