Rockland County District Attorney Thomas E. Walsh II announced today the sentencing of Constantinos Doonan, a/k/a “Dino” (DOB 7/17/92) of New City, New York on a charge of Murder in the Second Degree (class “A” Felony), and Jo-Ann Haughey (DOB 1/15/96) of New City, New York on a charge of Manslaughter in the First Degree (Class “B” Felony), in the killing of Constantinos Mastakouris. Constantinos Doonan, a/k/a “Dino” is the grandson of the deceased Constantinos Mastakouris.
In the County of Rockland, on or about and between January 29 –30, 2023, acting individually and in concert with each other, the defendants brutally caused the death of Constantinos Mastakouirs of 45 Ruth Drive, New City, New York.
Mr. Mastakouris was strangled and choked to death; after he was killed, the defendants wrapped his body in a tablecloth, kiddie pool, and shower curtain and then placed the body in a crawl space in the basement of 45 Ruth Drive, New City, New York. After they placed the body in the crawl space, the defendants stole Mr. Mastakouris’ belongings, including but not limited to his car, jewelry, and credit card.
District Attorney Tom Walsh said, “Today, the defendants in this case were held responsible for their heinous crimes that resulted in the senseless murder of an 85-year-old man, who was the grandfather of one of the defendants. The killing of one’s grandfather is evil and an unimaginable act. The actions of the defendants have left their family completely shattered by this horrific act. The defendants are being held fully accountable for their crimes and will serve lengthy prison terms. I commend the investigation by the Clarkstown Police Department and prosecution by Deputy Chief Assistant District Attorney Dominic Crispino and Supervising Assistant District Attorney Sharleen Bailon.”
Doonan and Haughey were sentenced on December 3, 2024. Doonan was sentenced to twenty (20) years to life in state prison on the second-degree murder conviction. Haughey was sentenced to fifteen (15) years in prison on the manslaughter in the first-degree conviction.

New City, NY — Authorities in Rockland County have arrested a Nyack resident in connection with the use of a fake home improvement license, following a joint investigation by the Sheriff’s Office and the County Department of Consumer Protection.

Christian C. Kolarz, 48, faces felony charges of Second-Degree Forgery and Second-Degree Criminal Possession of a Forged Instrument. Investigators allege that Kolarz created and attempted to use a counterfeit Rockland County Home Improvement License to fraudulently secure financing for a construction project.

The forged document came to light thanks to a coordinated effort by the Sheriff’s Bureau of Criminal Investigation and Consumer Protection investigators. Kolarz was taken into custody on April 18, arraigned in Clarkstown Justice Court, and released on his own recognizance. He is scheduled to appear in court again on May 12.

Rockland County Executive Ed Day praised the collaboration between agencies, stating, “This joint effort is a prime example of how working together keeps Rockland safe. It sends a strong message: fraud will not be tolerated.”

Sheriff Louis Falco echoed the sentiment, emphasizing the importance of interagency cooperation in protecting residents from scams. “We’re committed to pursuing those who attempt to take advantage of our community,” he said.

Consumer Protection Director Kimberly Von Ronn added that the misuse of official county documents is a serious matter. “Let this serve as a warning—we will take action to protect families and businesses from fraud.”
