Overview

• Federal prosecutors allege that between Dec. 4 and Dec. 7, 2024, Shane Daley placed multiple profanity-laced calls to a work line of a Thompson family member, expressing satisfaction over Brian Thompson’s killing and threatening the family’s safety.
• An FBI affidavit states that Daley’s personal cellphone number appeared in call logs, agents seized his phone under a July 30 search warrant and a voice-recognition analysis matched his voice to the threatening voicemails.
• Daley, 40, faces a single count of cyberstalking that carries up to five years in prison, a fine of $250,000 and up to three years of supervised release if convicted.
• During his arraignment in Albany federal court, Magistrate Judge Daniel J. Stewart ordered GPS monitoring, substance-abuse treatment and no contact with the Thompson family as conditions of release.
• Daley is not charged in the murder of Brian Thompson, which remains subject to separate federal and state cases against suspect Luigi Mangione.
