Suspect Arrested in Connecticut for Murder of NBC Anchor’s 73-Year-Old Mother
A suspect has been arrested for the murder of NBC Connecticut news anchor Heidi Voight’s mother.
The murder of Claudia Voight, 73, took place at her home in Vermont on February 20.
Shawn Conlon, 44, of Rhode Island, was arrested for the killing by marshals, local police, and Rhode Island State Police at a Connecticut hotel on Wednesday.
Conlon was originally being tracked in Rhode Island, before he traveled to Groton, Connecticut.
Fox News reports:
Law enforcement officials initially believed she suffered from a medical event but later determined she died from neck compression that was detectable only during an autopsy.
In new details released Wednesday, Vermont State Police said Conlon rented a room in Claudia Voight’s home and stopped paying rent in late 2022 but remained in the home until allegedly attacking and killing her in February 2023.
