SCHENECTADY — After allegedly killing his pregnant wife of a month in Brooklyn, Timothy Taylor made his way back to Schenectady two weeks later apparently bent on doing the same to his ex-wife and the mother of his two children, according to Schenectady County District Attorney Robert Carney.Â

Schenectady police quickly identified Taylor as a person of interest in the woman’s death.
Folkes-Taylor’s death and that of another woman, Philomen Henry, less than a week earlier both stemmed from domestic disputes, said authorities. Â
Though it’s unclear why he fled to Philadelphia, Carney said, it appears Taylor was alone when he was taken into custody without incident Friday.  Â
