Jilly Todaro : “Pennsylvania Wife Killer’s Girlfriend’s Remains Identified”

JOHNSTOWN, PA — Authorities have confirmed that human remains found in a Johnstown apartment are those of Jilly Todaro, who was reported missing in December 2020. The apartment previously belonged to Brian Bradley Giles, recently convicted of another murder.

Giles, 48, was convicted on June 6 for the murder of his wife, Nancy Giles, who disappeared in October 2018 and was later discovered in a shallow grave. During the investigation of his wife’s disappearance, Giles was romantically involved with Todaro. Following his conviction, authorities revisited his former residence on Franklin Street in the Kernville neighborhood, acting on new information.

Cambria County Coroner Jeff Lees, with the assistance of a forensic odontologist and an anthropologist, confirmed Todaro’s identity through body imaging techniques. While the details of the search warrant remain sealed, Cambria County District Attorney Neugebauer indicated that charges concerning Todaro’s death are anticipated.

During his recent court appearance, Giles expressed a grim sense of humour about his situation. He remains the sole suspect in Todaro’s disappearance and death, highlighting a potentially broader criminal pattern.

BROOKLYN, NY — Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez announced today that 44-year-old Leroy Hatcher of Stuyvesant Heights, Brooklyn, has been sentenced to 17 years to life in prison. The sentence follows Hatcher’s guilty plea to charges of first-degree attempted criminal sexual act and first-degree sexual abuse, relating to a violent assault in February 2021.

The incident occurred on the morning of February 6, 2021, around 5:45 AM, when the 62-year-old victim was attacked while walking to work along 482 Kosciuszko Street in Stuyvesant Heights. Hatcher forcefully grabbed the victim, threatened her with a knife, and sexually assaulted her in an alley.

Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Danny Chun issued the sentence after reviewing the harrowing details of the attack, which included the recovery of DNA evidence linking Hatcher to the crime. Surveillance footage from the area also captured Hatcher near the scene, further supporting the prosecution’s case.

District Attorney Gonzalez emphasized the severity of the attack, stating that such violent and depraved acts against innocent individuals demand stringent punishment. This case highlights the continued efforts by the Brooklyn DA’s office to combat sexual violence and enhance safety in the community.
