Ex-TV Anchor Reportedly Pleads Guilty To Killing Mother, Body Found On Bed With Bloody Knives & Cheese Grater On Halloween

Mock admitted killing her mother and faces life in prison with no parole eligibility for 25 years, court records show.

  • Former news anchor Angelynn Mock pleaded guilty to first-degree murder for stabbing her 80-year-old mother, Anita Avers, to death on Halloween last year. She faces life in prison.
  • Police arrested Mock at her home in Wichita, Kansas, after discovering Avers with multiple stab wounds. Mock had fled to a neighbor's house, asking them to call 911.
  • Mock claimed her mother attacked her first, telling police she believed Avers was the "devil" and "jealous" of a job opportunity. Her stepfather reported she had been diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder.
  • After a judge reversed an earlier ruling deeming Mock incompetent to stand trial, she entered her guilty plea. The court found her competent to proceed with the case.
  • Mock will return to court Oct 5 for sentencing, where she faces life in prison and will not be eligible for parole for 25 years.
