PRESS RELEASE-TOMS RIVER WOMAN CHARGED WITH MURDER
Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer and Manchester Township Police Chief Lisa Parker announced that Mary Carbone, 56, of Toms River, has been charged with Murder in violation of N.J.S.A. 2C:11-3a(1) relative to the death of Frank Stochel. Carbone was also charged with two counts of Possession of a Weapon for an Unlawful Purpose in violation of N.J.S.A. 2C:39-4d, and two counts of Unlawful Possession of Weapon in violation of N.J.S.A. 2C:39-5d.
On February 24, 2020, Manchester Township Police responded to a residence on 6th Avenue in the Pine Lake Park section of the Township for a report of an unresponsive male. Upon arrival, Officers found the lifeless body of Mr. Stochel lying on the floor of the residence. On February 25, 2020, the Ocean County Medical Examiner performed a post-mortem examination of Mr. Stochel’s body. The Medical Examiner ruled the manner of death to be a homicide.
An investigation by the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crime Unit, Manchester Township Police Detective Bureau, and Ocean County Sheriff’s Office Crime Scene Investigation Unit revealed that Carbone and Stochel both resided at the 6th Avenue residence in Manchester. This cooperative investigation further revealed that several household items were used by Ms. Carbone in the commission of this murder. Specially, a tape dispenser and a shower rod were recovered from the scene. The injuries sustained by Mr. Stochel were consistent with the implementation of these items. Further investigation ultimately determined that Carbone was the individual responsible for Mr. Stochel’s death.
On March 4, 2020, Carbone was arrested and transported to the Ocean County Jail where she is lodged pending a detention hearing.
Prosecutor Billhimer and Chief Parker would like to thank the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crime Unit, Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office High Tech Crimes Unit, Manchester Township Police Department, Manchester Township Police Department Detective Bureau, Ocean County Sheriff’s Office Crime Scene Investigation Unit, Toms River Police Department, Santa Rosa County Sherriff’s Office Crime Scene Unit, Westchester County Police Department, and Oneida County Sherriff’s Department, for their collective and cooperative assistance in this investigation. “This truly was a team effort in terms of the investigation. These detectives combed through a ton of forensic evidence to ultimately determine that Ms Carbone did in fact cause Mr. Stochel’s death,” Prosecutor Billhimer stated. “We were able to determine very early on in this investigation that there was no immediate danger to the public, from there – these detectives went to work doing what they do best. For that, every law enforcement officer involved this investigation has my profound gratitude,” Prosecutor Billhimer concluded.
The public and media are reminded that all defendants are innocent until proven guilty beyond
a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

How could Manchester Twp tell the public they were not in danger if a murderer was on the run for a week or more?
Brian Arasz pretty sure she was a one and done type
Brian Arasz that’s what I said. Ridiculous!
Kelly Renee Costa right on..she clearly had a specific reason that she did this whether it’s a good one or not..I don’t think she’s gonna go on a tape dispensing killing spree…
Kenneth Gregg Prob the tape got caught up in dispenser and she could not find where it left off.. I know that set me off and my husband best better run .. especially if I am in the middle of wrapping a gift
Brian Arasz She wasn’t a mass MURDERER.
Kenneth Gregg There’s no good reason for murdering someone
Beth Lane so u say…glad ur life hasn’t seen a reason hah
Beth Lane what about the guy doing life in prison who decided ahhh I may as well clip off a couple pedophiles off the top . Not good enough a reason for u? Lol
Brian Arasz NO ONE SAID THAT SHE WAS ON THE RUN. YOU’RE ASSUMING.
Kenneth Gregg YOU’RE AN IDIOT.
Kenneth Gregg AND I JUST SAID YOUR AN IDIOT NOT EVEN CLOSE.
Carine Nebesky ????????????

Mary Demarest-Paraan that’s what i was thinking.
Susan Cozzens Me too.
Diane Burek
I don’t mean this to sound insensitive. But a tape dispenser and a shower curtain rod as murder weapons?
Sabrina Ramoth beat to death
Sabrina Ramoth I was wondering the same! How?
Sabrina Ramoth I was thinking same. Was it her boyfriend?
Maria J Lawson idk. I guess if we’re talking one of those old school heavy duty tape dispensers maybe… but that would take an awful lot of force. I also imagine she’d have had to get pretty close to him to do so Id also think he’d of needed to have been incapacitated somehow already. The show curtain rod, I’m really puzzled over.
Janet Vernacchia Buonopane not sure. The article said they lived together at the residence so I would presume that. But they could have been roommates.
Sabrina Ramoth that’s so crazy. Than carried him out?
Janet Vernacchia Buonopane yes
Maria J Lawson who knows the whole story. why did she.
Janet Vernacchia Buonopane will never know he was my neighbor
Maria J Lawson thats awful. I feel terrible for his family.
Sabrina Ramoth me too
Sabrina Ramoth i was thinking the same exact thing.
Sabrina Ramoth Let’s hope she only beat him with it.
Sabrina Ramoth if victim is passed out tape could be used for nose and mouth to prevent breathing
With a tape dispenser and a shower rod?
Tricia Januska right?!
Morgan Alexander That’s horrible?.. I can’t imagine…
Tricia Januska It’s really sad. I believe he has a daughter ????
Sodomy?
Morgan Alexander he does
Julianna Cugliari

Valerie Sahlin that’s crazy
Sharon Dlug Pastor

Alan Munger Manchester or Ocean Co?

Another piece of ???? off the street ????
Michele Mino
Home sweet home
all Ocean County is is crime now, its disgusting, wheres the safe wonderful place we lived in as “kids” its gone…sadly but surely
Sad story rest of her life is over
Pam Ann who cares about the rest of her life, her victim lost his life, what an absurd comment.
Two lives ruined
Holy shit I know that lady and she was fucking crazy wow this def doesn’t surprise me she was a lunatic
Yea but how could those items just kill him. Seriously. He was much bigger than her.
May Bee you might as well just have moved to New York
Jordana Blodgett at least stores are open later then 9 in NY
May Bee ????????????????
Ocean County Scanner News where is your team at now who made me not able to post saying I’m spam because I couldn’t provide an “official press release ” of who did it, one of your staff put something on my name here.
David Meyer that profile picture is extreme
Bear Brian ik, so is yours…
David Meyer We will continue to not post conjecture, speculation and guesses on details of a murder until it is confirmed by an official authority of which you are not a part of ????
Kevin Post Sr. Her name sounds so familiar
Maybe he was abusive and she was defending herself prior to actually killing him. Sounds like she was using things to throw at him or keep him away from her. We don’t know the situation. It says it was a cooperative investigation. She wasn’t on the run, she probably told the truth and now she’s charged with murder. We don’t know all the details. People are so quick to run their mouths. ????
Dimitra Donnelly I was thinking the same thing.
Dimitra Donnelly when they refer to cooperative investigation they are most likely referring to the cooperation of multiple agencies across multiple states
This was a joint investigation including NJ, NY and FL
A tape dispenser and shower rod…..????????
John Holden sounds like a game of clue ????????????????
Lea Ferris Right!!?
John Holden he was a janitor at my high school. I used to see him everyday
She was my mom’s neighbor years ago. She was nuts.
Isn’t her first rodeo
Kat Kenny that last mugshot ????
Kat Kenny he’s got quite the record too. Wonder if the threats to kill were against her??? Still wondering how he was able to work in the school with his arrest history????♀️
Kristie Moore so true! And all the threat to kills were probably towards her.
Either way it’s a sad toxic situation
Kat Kenny how did you find all thag?? Lol
