MONTICELLO – The murder
of a 59-year-old Monticello man was an isolated incident, Monticello Police
Chief Robert Mir said Tuesday.
The victim’s identity was released late Tuesday as his family is
from out-of-state. Douglas Malone lived on Spring Street in Monticello.
His body was found by construction workers behind 9 High Street on Saturday.
Mir said there is no connection to any other missing persons or criminal
cases in neighboring jurisdiction and no further evidence or immediate
concern for public safety at this time.
He said rumors circulating on Facebook are false.
