Show Notes
Angelynn "Angie" Mock, a former TV news anchor, has been ruled mentally unfit to stand trial for the murder of her 80-year-old mother.
Court records revealed that Mock suffers from schizophrenia. Mock has been ordered to a state psychiatric hospital for treatment.
Shortly after 7:40 a.m., Alyssa Castro and her boyfriend are in their car in their south Wichita neighborhood when a neighbor waves them down. As the woman approaches, they see what appears to be blood on the woman's hands. The woman asks to borrow a phone to call 911, then takes off with the phone back into a house.
A 911 dispatch reveals a possible stabbing and relays a message to first responders that a woman says that it happened in her home. Dispatch relays information that the person calling says the stabbing was in self-defense. She was trying to save herself from her mother.
Arriving at the home at 7:52 a.m., Wichita police find a woman outside the house with cuts on her hands and blood on her clothing. Inside the house, they find 81-year-old Anita Avers unresponsive in her bed with multiple stab wounds. Both women are taken to the hospital.
After Angelynn "Angie" Mock is arrested, her attorney requests a mental health evaluation. The case was taken off the docket while the evaluation is complete.
This process typically takes around 60 days. A new court date has not yet been scheduled.
