Human Remains Identified as Missing Girlfriend Discovered in Killer’s Former Home Following Conviction for Wife’s Murder
The bodies that were recently found in the old home of a murderer who was recently convicted in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, have been recognized by the police. The body was that of the man’s lost girlfriend, Jilly Todaro, who went missing in December 2020 at the age of 43, according to The Tribune-Democrat.
Brian Bradley Giles, 48, was found guilty on June 6 of killing his 40-year-old wife Nancy Giles. Nancy went missing in October 2018 and was found dead in a small grave in May 2019. Todaro and Giles were seeing each other while she was missing.
Go back to June 7, the day after Giles was found guilty of murder. The police went to the house in the Kernville neighborhood on the 500 block of Franklin Street based on information they have not shared. Giles lives there in an apartment. It was where he lived with Nancy Giles and then Todaro after she went missing.
Cambria County Coroner Jeff Lees apparently told reporters on Thursday that forensic odontologists and anthropologists used body imaging to figure out who Todaro was. Cambria County District Attorney Neugebauer is said to have said that the search order is sealed. There were no charges filed right away in the death of Todaro, but he said that the DA expects charges to be filed in the future.
He was asked how many suspects there were.
He said, “One.” “That tells you something.”
Defendant Giles, who was arrested and led to an elevator on June 6, said something funny and angry after being found guilty of killing his wife.
He said, “Nope, I’m innocent, but if this is what they want to do, man, let them do it.” Video from Johnstown Fox station WWCP shows this. “I’ve been lied to before.” Everything is fine. I can’t hope for anything, right? Everyone got what they wished for.
They found Todaro in his old house the next day.
Reports say she was in touch with the police before she went missing. According to the Tribune-Democrat, records showed that police offered to help her and that she had been abused by Brian Giles more than once. Neugebauer said she knew the cell phone numbers of police officers and had talked to lawyers at the DA’s office conference table.
On Thursday, he and Assistant District Attorney Jessica Aurandt were sad about her death.
“Jilly was a wonderful person.” Neugebauer said, “She really was.” “I don’t think she always liked what Jess or I had to say to her, but we were trying to help her.” She was a good girl.
According to the Tribune Democrat, Aurandt said, “It was like a weight that had been sitting there for three and a half years had been lifted.” “But then to see the remains of a person who struggled in her life to be treated with dignity and who I know did not feel the worth that she truly had during her lifetime—to see those remains, I don’t know I can articulate how that feels.”
“I just wish Jilly could have seen in her lifetime how many people worked together and gave up a lot to make sure she was found and treated with the respect she deserved.” I wish she could have seen how many people care. There is a lot of talk about this case in the news. I wish she knew how many people cared then and how many care now.
