Woman Found Dead in Hopkinton was a Victim of Domestic Violence

Five months before police found Gina Maiorano’s body on the side of the highway, police arrested her boyfriend Thomas Hanley on four separate domestic violence charges.

Hanley, 30, was driving the white Chevy Tahoe with Maiorano just before her death. She jumped out of the vehicle, Hanley’s father told police. Hanley never stopped because he was high on meth, he told his father.

Hanley was charged with conduct after an accident, a felony, and breach of bail and stalking, misdemeanors, in connection with Maiorano’s death during the early morning hours of June 5.

Hanley was arrested the following day and released on a $5,000 cash bail after pleading not guilty to all charges.
