HOPKINTON - A Henniker man has been arrested in connection with the death of a woman whose body was found in the breakdown lane of Interstate 89 early Monday morning.
An autopsy performed on Tuesday concluded that the victim, Gina C. Maiorano, 27, of Henniker, died of blunt impact head injuries. However, the manner of death was found inconclusive, pending further investigation, according to a Tuesday statement from the Attorney Generals Office.
Thomas Shane Hanley, 30, of Henniker, was arrested on Tuesday night on charges of felony conduct after an accident, breach of bail and stalking.
New Hampshire State Police on Tuesday took the opportunity to extend their appreciation to the media, members of the public, and partner agencies and organizations that assisted with making the identification of Maiorano possible.
The exact circumstances surrounding this incident remain under investigation.
