Tuesday, November 4, 2025 - A former morning TV show anchor in Missouri, U.S. allegedly stabbed her elderly mother to de@th on Halloween, then told dispatchers she did it “to save herself,” local outlets reported.
Neighbors in Wichita, Kansas, said they were traumatized
after Angelynn Mock, 47, staggered out of a home shortly before 8 a.m. Friday,
Oct. 31, soaked in blood.
“There was a woman who approached our vehicle with like
blood, like her hands were filled, her body was filled with blood, asking to
call 911,” Alyssa Castro, who lives in the neighborhood, told KAKE.
Castro told the outlet that Mock took her phone and bolted
back inside the house, where she called authorities and allegedly claimed she
“stabbed [her] mother to save herself,” Sedgwick County dispatchers told the
outlet.
When officers with the Wichita Police Department arrived,
Mock was waiting outside with a series of bloody cuts on her hands.
Mock’s mother, 80-year-old Anita Avers, was found
“unresponsive in her bed with multiple stab wounds.” She was rushed to a nearby
hospital, where she di£d just 30 minutes later, according to the police
department.
Mock was taken into custody and booked into the Sedgwick
County Jail for first-degree murd£r, and is being held on a $1 million bond,
according to the county sheriff’s office.
Police eventually gave Castro’s boyfriend his phone back.
Castro, though, was just grateful they “were able to help.”
“Like, we never know what anyone is going through. This
happened randomly, but as long as we were able to get 911 and see what we can
do, that’s all I really care about,” she told KAKE.
Avers was a marriage and family therapist at Wichita
Counseling Professionals, her husband confirmed to the outlet.
Mock worked at KTVI Fox 2 as a morning and evening fill-in
anchor from 2011 to 2015, according to her LinkedIn.
