Overview

• Daley, a 40-year-old Galway resident, was arraigned in Albany on federal cyberstalking charges for allegedly leaving four threatening voicemails to a Thompson family member just hours after the CEO’s December murder, and he is not accused of involvement in the killing itself.
• Investigators linked the messages to Daley via phone logs, an FBI agent’s voice identification and a search-warrant seizure of his cellphone on July 30.
• The voicemails expressed satisfaction over Brian Thompson’s death and warned that his family and children “deserved to meet the same violent end,” according to the criminal complaint.
• Released under court-ordered GPS monitoring, Daley also faces reported conditions for substance-abuse treatment and a no-contact order with the Thompson family.
• If convicted, he faces up to five years in prison, a $250,000 fine and up to three years of supervised release, with the FBI continuing its investigation and prosecutors from the Northern and Southern districts of New York leading the case.
