Search Underway for Woman Suspected of Fatal Stabbing

JAMESPORT, NY – In an ongoing investigation, Suffolk County Police are seeking Marjorie Corey, 53, in connection with the murder of Conrad Gowan, 36. The killing occurred on March 4, 2024, at Gowan’s residence in Jamesport, leaving his family devastated.

Gowan’s aunt and sister remember the day vividly, describing it as a nightmare that continues to affect them. Gowan had dreams of becoming a nurse and providing a better life for his family, aspirations now tragically cut short.

Authorities have released images of Corey, who is known to use aliases such as Nicola Watson and Niki. She is suspected of working as a home health aide in South Queens, often changing her appearance to evade capture.

On the day of the incident, Corey allegedly discovered Gowan’s involvement with another woman, leading to a confrontation. Police believe she returned to his apartment, and during a heated argument, stabbed him in the neck.

A murder warrant has been issued, and police highlight Corey’s past arrests for grand larceny and drug-related offenses. Investigators suspect she might be living in various locations in Queens, using her job to stay hidden.

Gowan’s family pleads for Corey to turn herself in, hoping for closure. They express the emotional toll of the tragedy and the impact on Gowan’s young daughter, who faces life without her father.

The police have urged anyone with information to come forward, emphasizing the importance of community assistance in locating Corey. The search continues, with authorities determined to bring her to justice.
