Speaker 1: Crime Alert, hourly update, breaking crime news now. I'm Sydney Silvani. New security audio reveals the tense moments when emergency personnel responded to an incoming plane on a New Orleans tarmac after an illegal immigrant allegedly threatened to hijack the aircraft and claimed he had a bomb in his backpack. Pilots aboard United Airlines Flight 2174 sounded the alarm Monday evening as the plane flew from Newark, New Jersey to New Orleans. Authorities arrested 34-year-old Roni Gomez-Alberto of Honduras, who remains jailed. The Department of Homeland Security previously confirmed Gomez-Alberto was deported from the U.S. twice before illegally reentering through California and was released by a judge in 2020. Thankfully, no one was hurt during Monday's incident. Newly released dispatch audio obtained by 4WWL reveals the suspect was possibly held in the back of the plane while passengers de-planed, capturing authorities planning to apprehend him as they learned more about the situation. Listen to the tense radio chatter from 4WWL as officers move in.

New developments in the unsolved stabbing death of New Jersey psychotherapist and mother, Brooke Hanlon, 35, as investigators returned to her home and removed potential evidence. Hanlon was found fatally stabbed inside her residence earlier this year on June 6th. Her husband, James Connor Hanlon, called 911 from the home and no arrests have been made. Neighbors say Connor Hanlon spoke with police Wednesday afternoon. On Thursday, officers removed what appeared to be a large comforter from a second-story window of the two-bedroom, two-bathroom house, which has few second-floor windows. A neighbor confirmed investigators carried out scads of items wrapped in brown paper and marked with evidence tape, including a possible headboard, hamper, and comforter or quilt. Seeing officers return Wednesday, November 4, brought tears to one neighbor's eyes, who said, I just want them to resolve this as soon as possible. Investigators returning months after the homicide could signal new leads as detectives seek DNA, examine the Hanlon's relationship, and review their digital footprint. Neighbors say Connor Hanlon has been sleeping at the home, prompting one neighbor to ask, how do you sleep in that house? Hanlon has not been accused of any crime and publicly denies involvement in his wife's death, though the Morris County Prosecutor's Office confirmed he hired a private attorney. Neighbors report seeing him doing yard work and sitting on the front porch, despite onlookers driving past on Pottersville Road taking photos and videos, while one resident spotted him in a white SUV. A New Jersey court spokesperson confirmed grand jury matters remain secret unless an indictment is returned, while a $ 1, 000 reward remains active for information leading to an arrest.
