Arrest Made in Vermont News Anchor’s Mother’s Homicide: Suspect Apprehended in Connecticut Hotel

A breakthrough in the tragic case of Claudia Voight’s murder emerged as authorities captured Shawn Conlon, 44, at a Groton hotel in Connecticut. Voight, the mother of NBC Connecticut news anchor Heidi Voight, was found deceased in her Windham, Vermont, home on February 20. Initially perceived as a medical event, a subsequent autopsy revealed her cause of death as neck compression. Heidi Voight, in a heartfelt revelation on social media, disclosed her mother’s violent demise and vowed to fight for justice, noting that the incident shattered her but strengthened her resolve.

Law enforcement investigations unveiled a concerning link between Conlon and Claudia Voight. Conlon had been a tenant in Voight’s residence, ceasing rent payments in late 2022 while still residing there until her tragic death. The motive behind the homicide remains undisclosed, yet authorities affirm it was not a random act. The collaborative efforts of Vermont State Police, local law enforcement, and the U.S. Marshals Violent Fugitive Task Force led to Conlon’s arrest. Despite being detained in Groton with a bail set at $1 million, he waived extradition and will face the second-degree homicide charge back in Vermont. The development marks a significant step in the pursuit of justice for Claudia Voight, a beloved mother and victim of a heinous crime.
