On June 1, 2004, the body of 22-year-old Hannah Finnerty was found inside a trash can outside an apartment building on West Onondaga Street in Syracuse, New York. An autopsy determined Finnerty, who was five months pregnant, died from multiple stab wounds.

Wiley, a 41-year-old resident and building handyman, came under suspicion after the body of another woman in the same building, 31-year-old Lottie Thompson, was found the previous day and Wiley reported a strange odor from Thompson’s apartment. After Hannah’s body was discovered, Wiley was arrested; during interrogation he confessed to killing Finnerty, Thompson and 17-year-old Tammy Passineau, who had been missing since April 2004, and claimed to have killed additional people though only three victims were corroborated.

A jury convicted Wiley of first- and second-degree murder for the deaths of Finnerty, Thompson and Passineau, and sentenced him to life without parole. Does anyone have information about Hannah’s life, her pregnancy, or her last known movements in Syracuse?
