Man Arrested for Strangling Connecticut News Anchor's Mother

Shawn Conlon, a former tenant in the victim's home, is facing a second-degree homicide charge and is being held on a $1 million bail.

Shawn Conlon, 44, was arrested in Groton, Connecticut, on Wednesday, December 20, 2023, in connection with the murder of Claudia Voight, the mother of NBC Connecticut news anchor Heidi Voight.
Claudia Voight, 73, was initially believed to have died from a medical event in February 2023, but an autopsy in April revealed she had been strangled.
Conlon had been renting a room in Claudia Voight's home in Vermont and stopped paying rent in late 2022, but continued to live there until her death.
Conlon is facing a second-degree homicide charge and is being held on a $1 million bail. He is expected in court on January 16, 2024.
Heidi Voight revealed her mother's murder in a Facebook post in July, stating that her mother was murdered violently in her own home.
