Details Emerge In Fatal Stabbing In Stamford

STAMFORD, CT — The 50-year-old Stamford woman found dead in her home Friday night was a New York apartment building owner who reportedly had not been heard from for a few days before she was discovered.

Denise McLaughlin's body was found by police at about 9 p.m. on Friday in her Manor Street home. She had been stabbed multiple times, reports the Stamford Advocate.

McLaughlin may have been dead for several days, according to police, because friends had been trying to contact her to no avail.

She used to spend time at the apartment building she owns, and when she did not appear there for several days, friends grew concerned and contacted police to do a welfare check.

The investigation into her death is ongoing, and police urge anyone with information to contact the Stamford Police Department Major Crime Squad at 203-977-4417, or the department's dispatch unit at 203-977-4444.
