A man has been arrested and charged in connection with the death of a woman whose body was discovered on a New Hampshire highway this week, authorities said.
Gina C. Maiorano, 27, of Henniker, N.H., was found on the shoulder of Interstate 89 North near mile marker 7.2 at around 12:15 a.m. on June 5, according to a press release from New Hampshire State Police. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
The woman’s cause of death was determined to be “blunt impact head injuries,” and the manner of death remains inconclusive, police said.
Investigators said they initially had trouble identifying the victim. Police turned to the public for leads and released a photo of a tattoo on her back, which showed a feather with birds flying out of it, according to the release.

On June 6, state police arrested 30-year-old Thomas Shane Hanley, also of Henniker, in connection with the case. He has been charged with conduct after an accident, breach of bail and stalking.
It’s unclear if Hanley has entered a plea or retained an attorney to speak on his behalf.
