N.Y. woman charged with fatally poisoning her boss

Last year, the Oneida County Sheriff’s Office in upstate New York received a call from a concerned family member of Mary Yoder, who died last July.

The caller thought something was suspicious about their loved one's death. After investigating Yoder's death, the Medical Examiner’s Office determined her death was a homicide. The cause of death: poison.

Kaitlyn Conley, who was an employee at Yoder’s Chiropractic Family Care clinic, was charged with the death.

Conley, who worked for Yoder for four years, used colchicine, an anti-inflammatory drug sometimes used to treat gout, to poison her, the sheriff told Syracuse.com.

Symptoms of an overdose include nausea, vomiting, slowed breathing and slowed or stopped heartbeat.

A motive hasn’t been released, AP reports.

Conley, 23, is being held in county jail.
