Voight was the mother of Heidi Voight, an NBC Connecticut news anchor and Miss Connecticut 2006.
Heidi Voight did not immediately return an email message Wednesday. On her Facebook page, she posted "HALLELUJAH."
In a July Facebook posting, Heidi Voight revealed the manner of her mother's death.
"I have been carrying this painful secret: My mother's death was not natural, nor peaceful," she wrote. "My mother was murdered, violently, in the place she should have felt safest -- her own home in Windham, Vermont. ... 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."
The motive for the killing has not been disclosed.

Conlon was being detained by Groton police. It was not immediately clear if he had a lawyer who could respond to the allegations.
