Mary Whitaker, 61, a longtime violinist with the Chautauqua Symphony Orchestra and a member of the Westchester Philharmonic, was shot and killed on August 20, 2014, at her summer home on Titus Road in Westfield, New York. Friends became concerned when they could not reach her and discovered her body; an autopsy confirmed a gunshot wound as the cause of death.

Investigators say two men with no fixed address, Jonathan Conklin, then 43, and Charles Sanford, then 30, had planned to burglarize Whitaker’s home. Prosecutors allege Sanford knocked on the door asking to use the phone while Conklin waited outside armed; when Whitaker answered, she was shot once in the leg and fatally in the chest. The suspects then stole her vehicle and a credit card; the car was later located in Erie, Pennsylvania after the card was used in that area.

Anyone with information about Mary Whitaker, her movements that August, or about activity on Titus Road around that time is asked to come forward.
