Summary
48-year-old Angelynn "Angie" Mock pleaded guilty to first-degree murder in the Oct. 31, 2025 stabbing death of her 80-year-old mother, Anita Avers, in Wichita.
Prosecutors said Mock made statements showing she believed her mother was the devil and killed her to "save herself," according to a probable cause affidavit.
Under the plea deal, Mock faces life in prison with parole eligibility after 25 years; sentencing is scheduled for Oct. 5.
Police were called to the home Mock shared with Avers and her stepfather around 7:50 a.m. on Halloween, finding Mock outside with cuts on her hands while Avers later died at a hospital.
Mock previously worked as a TV anchor and reporter in St. Louis and Oklahoma City, a background that drew added attention to the case.
