The man arrested last month in the killing of Connecticut anchor Heidi Voight’s mother in Vermont last February has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder.
Shawn Conlon was arraigned on Friday.
Police first thought Claudia Voight suffered from a medical event but later determined she died from neck compression that was detectable only during an autopsy.

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.
“This has broken me and changed me. But I am my mother’s daughter, and I will come back stronger. I will fight for her,” Heidi Voight wrote on social media last summer.
