A 53-year-old Vernon woman has been charged with the first-degree murder of her mother.

Tandra Marie Conn is scheduled to appear at the Vernon Courthouse on June 25, having been charged with killing 75-year-old Martha Conn last June.

Precise details of what took place aren’t known, but in June 2025, the Vernon RCMP released a statement saying it responded to a family disturbance that resulted in the death of a 75-year-old Vernon woman.

At the time, police said they received numerous calls from the public about a fight escalating at a residence in the 2300 block of 34 Street in Vernon. When officers arrived, they found the body of a 75-year-old woman on the patio.

Court records identify the victim as Martha Conn.

Tandra was taken into custody after the incident but released on conditions. Almost a year to the day after her mother was found dead, she has now been charged with murder.

On June 17, a warrant for Tandra’s arrest was issued, but court records show she was brought into custody the same day.

The 53-year-old doesn’t have a criminal record but was convicted of drunk driving in 2007. She also has an upcoming court date after being stopped for drunk driving on Dec. 26, 2025.

In 2018, Vernon RCMP issued a missing person alert for Tandra, who was found the following day.

None of the allegations has been proven in court.
