Anne Gaffney was killed Wednesday night in her home on Old Route 209 in Hurley.

HURLEY — An autopsy has confirmed that homicide victim Anne Gaffney died from blunt force trauma, a state police official said on Friday.

Lt. Brian Shortall provided the information, but he would not say what was used to inflict the trauma.

The autopsy was performed Thursday.

Gaffney, 54, was found dead in her home on Old Route 209 in Hurley shortly after 8 p.m. Wednesday. A tenant of hers, Shawn E. Tyler, 34, was located several hours later and charged with killing her.

Tyler was charged with first-degree murder, arraigned in Hurley Town Court and sent to the Ulster County Jail without bail.

Police have said Tyler was one of several tenants in Gaffney's home and that he killed her while robbing her.

Shortall on Friday declined to say what Tyler was trying to steal or where in the house Gaffney's body was found.

He said police are continuing their investigation by, among other things, speaking to the other tenants in the home and to neighbors.

Shortall also said on Friday that one other person was in the house when  Gaffney was killed but that the person was not aware of what was going on when it happened.

On Thursday, police said the 911 call reporting a possible homicide came from inside the house at 8:06 p.m. Wednesday, though they didn't say who made the call. Continued...

Police responding to the two-story home at 369 Old Route 209 discovered Gaffney dead inside, they said on Thursday. They then learned a suspect had fled on foot, and they found Tyler  about 3-1/2 hours later, hiding under a trailer on a property about three-quarters of a mile away.

Tyler apparently has no history of committing serious crimes. Ulster County District Attorney Holley Carnright said Tyler's only conviction was for loitering, a violation, in 1998 in the city of Newburgh.

Carnright has said a preliminary hearing in the murder case may be held on Tuesday and that evidence later will be presented to an Ulster County grand jury.

Tyler is being represented by the Ulster County Public Defender's Office, but Public Defender Andrew Kossover said on Friday that his office will ask a judge to assign private counsel to the suspect. Kossover said his office has a conflict of interest in representing Tyler, but he would not provide specifics.

EVERETT -- Police on Wednesday were canvassing the View Ridge-Madison neighborhood in Everett after a man was found dead there the night before. A neighbor spotted the man on the ground outside a vacant house at 22 Madison St. He called 911 about 6:20 p.m. The man had obvious signs of trauma to his torso, police said. He looked to be in his late 20s or early 30s. The Everett Major Crimes Unit is investigating the death as a homicide, Lt. Robert Goetz said. Detectives declined to say more about how they believe the man may have died. There are no identified suspects or motives.

Manslaughter charges possible in boy's death

Published: Thursday, August 23, 2012, 5:55 p.m. MONROE -- Detectives believe a 7-year-old Monroe boy's parents should face second-degree manslaughter charges in connection with his January overdose death. Monroe police this week wrapped up their probe into the boy's Jan. 30 death and forwarded the case to prosecutors to decide if his parents should face criminal charges. Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Lisa Paul likely will begin reviewing the case in the coming days. She doesn't expect to make a charging decision in the near future, however. "It's quite an extensive investigation, and I want to review it thoroughly before I make any decision," she said. The boy, identified as "A.J." in court papers, ingested a lethal amount of salicylates, a chemical common in aspirin and other over-the-counter drugs. The medical examiner declined to conduct an autopsy on the boy, making it difficult to determine how the drug ended up in the boy's system. A
