Henniker Man Who Abandoned Girlfriend Sentenced

A Henniker resident has been ordered to spend time behind bars for leaving his girlfriend along the side of a highway.

Prosecutors say that Thomas Hanley and Gina Maiorano had done drugs before she jumped out of the car Hanley was driving last June. Maiorano’s body was later found on Interstate 89 in Hopkinton, and an autopsy revealed she died from blunt-impact injuries.

As part of a plea deal, Hanley was sentenced to a year in jail.
