KIFI

WINDHAM, Vt. (AP) — Vermont State Police say the death of a Connecticut television news anchor’s mother last winter is being investigated as a homicide. Law enforcement officials initially believed 73-year-old Claudia Voight, of Windham, died in her home from a medical event. But police say she actually died from neck compression that was detected during an autopsy. Police delayed releasing the conclusion that her death was a homicide for months to protect the investigation. Voight is the mother of NBC Connecticut news anchor Heidi Voight, who says she’s been carrying a “painful secret.”
