1. Untimely Death Of 13-Year-Old Girl Under Investigation By Wilton Police (patch.com) — Wilton residents are reeling after police announced they are investigating the death of a 13-year-old girl, believed to be a suicide pending the medical examiner’s findings. Authorities say they are working closely with local schools and community partners to offer counseling and support, while also reminding anyone in crisis that help is available 24/7 by calling 988.
2. Wilton Police Report Reveals Major Shift In 2025 Crime, Crash Data (patch.com) — Wilton’s latest police report shows notable 2025 improvements, with overall Group A crimes, property offenses, motor vehicle thefts, and reportable crashes all declining, and no fatal crashes for a second straight year. Deputy Chief Robert Cipolla credits a broader mission of victim protection, crisis support, and proactive enforcement, while noting use-of-force incidents dropped sharply even as officers handled nearly 15,000 calls for service.
3. Wilton approves ASML emergency access road proposal (thehour.com) — Wilton’s Planning & Zoning Commission has unanimously approved ASML’s request to rezone 39 Arrowhead Road, clearing the way for an emergency-only access road from the company’s Wilton headquarters into the neighborhood. Supporters say it’s vital for employee safety, while nearby residents worry about noise, traffic, and permanent changes to their residential street.
4. BOF Blasts CFO, First Selectman on Claims that Audit Deadline Isn't Critical (goodmorningwilton.com) — Wilton’s Board of Finance is sharply criticizing Town Hall leaders and a high-priced consultant over delays in completing the state-mandated annual audit by the June 30 deadline, warning it could embarrass the town and risk its top bond rating. Members are questioning communication failures, the costly reliance on a consultant, and how long-running software problems and staff turnover left Wilton’s budgets in disarray.
5. NFA takes emergency enforcement action against Vespula Capital Management (fxnewsgroup.com) — A Wilton-based investment firm, Vespula Capital Management, is facing emergency restrictions from the National Futures Association after regulators raised concerns about roughly $2 million in assets tied to one of its funds. The order limits new investments, withdrawals, and trading until Vespula fully accounts for the fund’s money and addresses disclosure and related-party issues uncovered in a recent examination.
