Frankfort Mother Corie Walsh Pleads Not Guilty in Murder of 2-Year-Old Son
Prosecutors say Corie A. Walsh told investigators she killed her son because he was the devil and planned to poison her husband.
- On Thursday, Corie Walsh, 40, pleaded not guilty to three counts of first-degree murder in the death of her 2-year-old son Barrett Walsh in Frankfort, Illinois.
- Frankfort police responded to the family home at 22700 Brook Stone Court on September 1 after a 17-year-old neighbor called 911, finding the boy hanging in the basement with a ligature around his neck.
- Prosecutors allege Walsh told officers she killed her son because he was the 'devil' and 'anti-Christ,' with witnesses reporting she had 'recently become very invested' in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial involving a Massachusetts mother who killed her three children.
- Defense attorney Andrea Lyon argued Walsh suffered 'brief psychotic disorder' at the time and requires immediate treatment, stating 'they all know this is not who she is' while expressing concern about her care in the Will County jail.
- A judge ordered Walsh to remain detained at the Will County Jail pending trial, with her next court date scheduled for October 26 as Lyon subpoenaed records examining treatment access.
